Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Mrs. Wu Ya is just a noble person. It stands to reason that if she is not promoted after giving birth to an emperor's heir, then the child must be given to others to be raised.Kangxi once told the Empress Dowager that he wanted to give Concubine Tong Gui the child of nobleman Wu Ya, but the Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Tong's performance today with such a cold eye, and had a different view of Kangxi's suggestion in her heart. Maybe this matter can be postponed for a while, and we can talk about it after seeing Concubine Tong in charge of the palace power.

"My sister's actions today are frightening for people." An He said with a smile, "My sister was only talking to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but she didn't see the eyes of Concubine Rong and the others below, as if she wanted to give Concubine Tong Gui It's like eating it. Concubine Tong is already liked by the emperor, and this time she is even more targeted. But why did my sister suddenly think of delegating power?"

"Didn't you tell me to have a good rest yesterday?" The Queen nodded An He's nose, "The Empress Dowager sent someone to tell me last night that the Emperor intends to ask Concubine Tong Gui to raise the child in Noble Wu Ya's belly. In the past, Concubine Tong Gui was diagnosed by the imperial physician as having a cold body and infertility. It would be fine if the child of nobleman Wu Ya was a princess, but if it was an elder brother, do you think Concubine Tong Gui and the Tong family can be unsympathetic? And I see, the empress dowager clearly sees She seems to be very kind to the Tong family, but actually she doesn't want the girl from the emperor's natal family to be too powerful in the harem."

"I don't understand these things, but my sister always has her own reasons." An He smiled lightly.

"The emperor is busy dealing with the frontline affairs, and Wu Yagui's stomach is only more than three months old, so how could he consider the issue of the emperor's adoptive mother so early. Some time ago, the emperor always stayed in Chengqian Palace, I'm afraid Concubine Tong Gui You must have found an opportunity to bring this matter up to the emperor." The queen twirled a cherry and put it in her mouth, "Although the empress dowager has been pampered all these years, she has good ears and eyes. It is all decided by the serious master in the palace, and she dares to intervene as a noble concubine, which is beyond the rules."

Although there are many empresses in the palace, only the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager and the empress have the right to speak out on the issue of raising the heir. Concubine Tong Gui is not qualified no matter how favored she is.An He understood that the Empress Dowager was displeased with Concubine Tong's involvement in raising the heir, and felt that maybe Concubine Tong's ambitions would become bigger after she was devolved from the palace, so the matter of raising the heir would be different.

"Doesn't sister want to raise her?" An He hesitated for a moment before asking.She remembered that this was nobleman Wuya, who was the first child of the later Concubine De, the emperor Yongzheng who succeeded the emperor in history.Besides, nobleman Wuya is just a nobleman now, isn't it natural for the queen to raise her child?

"Mr. Wu Ya's birth was watched by a lot of people, so I still shouldn't show up." After careful consideration, the queen gave up the chance to raise this child, "Besides, I am not in good health now, and the imperial doctor ordered me to rest. What would the Empress Dowager think if she came out and said she wanted to take over this child?"

"That's true." An He nodded.Now that the elder brother has returned to the palace to study, the third elder brother will be sent to be raised by the minister Chuo Erji outside the palace in a few days. In fact, this elder brother may also be sent to be raised by the minister outside the palace. , so that the Empress Dowager didn't like it very much.

Because the queen said that she was ill and needed rest, the empress dowager also decreed that the queen should not ask for peace every day, so the matter of leading the concubines to the Palace of Compassion was entrusted to Concubine Tong.Concubine Tong was favored and generous when she entered the palace when she was young. She was more proud and arrogant than Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and other women who relied on seniority to enshrine the throne. Naturally, she was full of ambition when she got the palace power today, and the smile on her face couldn't stop her. Can't live.

An He stood in front of the Compassionate Ning Palace, looked at Concubine Hesheli, only smiled but did not speak.The nobleman Wu Ya walked over carefully protecting her stomach, saluted the two of them before saying: "It's past time today." Usually the Empress Dowager would meet the concubines who greeted her on time, but today is strange.

"Perhaps the Empress Dowager hasn't woken up yet." An He was surprised, she was never familiar with Mr. Wu Ya, and she just nodded and said hello when she saw her.She smiled and glanced at her expression, "Your complexion looks very good. How is this pregnancy going well? I heard that pregnant people always like to eat some hot and sour food. Is it the same for you?"

"Not really, this child is very stable." There is a reason why Noble Wu Ya came to greet An He. She knew that she was born in a dressing room, and she was already a noble person with a book title. Many people hated her and hated her. I envy her, and after she became pregnant, her gaze only increased.She knew that she couldn't be crowned as the master right away, and the child would definitely be taken away. If she could be raised by the empress, it would be good for her and the child.Concubine Niu Hulu is the queen's biological sister, it would be best if she mentioned it in front of the queen.

"That's good, my sister is sick, so I can't often ask about your affairs. Fortunately, Concubine Tong Gui also cares." An He is not stupid, she can guess how much nobleman Wu Ya is thinking, "The matters in the palace are all important. The imperial concubine is in charge, if you have any questions, just ask the imperial concubine."

Noble Wu Ya bit her lower lip lightly, and nodded after a while.

At this time, the door of the Palace of Compassion and Ning opened, and Mother Lin, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came out, and after saluting to Concubine Tong Guifei, she said: "The Empress Dowager is feeling a little unwell today, and I will not be meeting you young masters for the time being. All young masters, please Come back."

"Mommy, the Empress Dowager is not feeling well, but has the imperial doctor been invited to see her?" Tong Guifei asked with concern.

"Doctor Wang has come to see her, and there is nothing serious." Nanny Lin replied with a smile, "Your slaves should go back to serve the Empress Dowager. Please come back for now, young masters."

"The Empress Dowager was fine yesterday, why is she feeling unwell today." Concubine Hesheli covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said to An He, "I guess, she clearly wants to give Concubine Tong a blow."

"My sister is right, but let's not talk too much." An He replied softly.

Apart from the empress dowager's "sudden" physical discomfort, there was another thing that made concubine Tong very anxious. The news from the princess said that the old illness of the fourth daughter of the concubine Zhang Shu had relapsed, and the imperial doctor had given a vague message. I'm afraid it won't get better.The fourth girl of the emperor was born in February 13, and now she is only four years old. Concubine Tong Guifei is thinking about how to slowly tell her emperor's cousin about this.

Sure enough, on the fifth day after Kangxi knew that his daughter was seriously ill, the fourth daughter of the emperor died.At this time, there was an unhealthy trend in the palace for some reason, saying that such a thing had never happened when the queen was in charge of the six palaces, and that everything went wrong when Concubine Tong took over, secretly implying that Concubine Tong's fortune was not good.

Concubine Tong had no choice but to punish a few courtiers who gossip, temporarily curbing the unhealthy tendencies.Later, Noble Nala was diagnosed to be pregnant, so she temporarily diverted the attention of everyone in the palace, and finally gave Concubine Tong a little room to breathe.

"Is the old ancestor feeling better?" Kangxi served the Empress Dowager with soup and medicine, and when she saw her wake up from a nap, he helped her up and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. The emperor shouldn't keep circling in front of me. Be careful if you get sick." The empress dowager said to her grandson with a forehead tied on her head with a smile.

These days the emperor and empress all came to the Compassionate Palace to serve the sick, but the empress dowager used the excuse that Concubine Tong would assist the Sixth Palace so that she did not have to come often, Kangxi knew that his ancestors probably didn't like Concubine Tong.He has affection for the Tong family, that's why he promoted the Tong family in the court, and he also doted on his cousin in the harem. After serving the empress dowager and drinking the medicine, he said: "The old ancestor seems to be very indifferent to Concubine Tong these days."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Kangxi and said, "I know that the emperor prefers the Tong family, but the Tong family has no say in the issue of raising the emperor's heir. She just wants to raise the child in Wu Ya's womb, so that's okay." The emperor must discuss with the empress to make a decree, instead of asking for it through favor. There are many women in this palace, and it doesn't matter which concubine the emperor favors. What matters is the distinction between superiors and inferiors. Dare to ask for the emperor's heir today, will you dare to ask for something else tomorrow? Rules are rules, even if she is a noble concubine, she can't reverse the rules and override them."

"Yes, grandson didn't think carefully about this matter." Kangxi said after being taught.

"Now that the queen is still sick, I don't want to be a noble concubine." The empress dowager said, "And your empress mother has been empty in her knees since the princesses went to the princess's house. Now the fourth daughter of the emperor... why don't you take Wu Ya?" Let the nobleman's children be brought up by the Empress Dowager."

Kangxi is not close to his nominal aunt, but she is his only elder.Hearing that the empress dowager was very sad for the death of the fourth daughter of the emperor, Kangxi also hoped that she could come out of the sadness, maybe raising a child could divert her attention.Furthermore, the nobleman Wu Ya's background meant that this child might be discussed by others in the future, and if he handed it over to the Empress Dowager, he would not be underestimated by others, so he nodded and said: "Just obey the old ancestor's words."

"That's good." The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi benevolently, "I watched you grow up. Now that you are an emperor, you should always think about the balance between the former court and the rear palace. The Tong family is strong, and you let the people of the Eight Banners grow up. What do the ministers think? Concubine Tong Gui is a favorite, and the concubines who are full of military flags in the harem are probably also dissatisfied. The emperor can't do whatever he wants, because you are in charge of the world."

Kangxi was silent for a moment before saying: "Grandson understands."
