Kangxi's salted fish queen

Although the Empress Dowager pretended not to care about what Concubine Tong said when she came that day, she still invited Kangxi to her Compassionate Palace the next day.

"Aijia heard that on the day of Huachao Festival, the emperor brought his concubine out of the palace?"

Kangxi picked up the tea that Aunt Su Ma had poured, paused for a moment, then drank the bowl of tea without changing his face, and nodded.

"The Huachao event, I remembered that I hadn't seen it before, so I wanted to go out and have a look. Fortunately, Yubi was free that day, so I took Yubi along with me."

Kangxi is talking nonsense with his eyes open at the moment, what is gentleness and emptiness, which of the concubines in the palace has never had emptiness?

It's just that Kangxi said so, how could the Empress Dowager refute his words?

It's just that he didn't expect that he protected the jade concubine so tightly, and the Empress Dowager felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

Could it be that like what Concubine Tong said, even if he brought Horqin's woman in in the future, this jade concubine would still be a huge rock between the two of them?

When Kangxi said this, the Empress Dowager paused for a moment, and then casually played with the Buddhist beads she always carried, her eyes full of compassion: "The Ai family knows that the emperor has always had a lot of affection for the jade concubine, but this whole palace is very good. It's not just Jade Concubine alone, the emperor must remember not to worry about being few but about unevenness."

"I understand."

Kangxi responded without blinking his eyes, but it was precisely because of such a quick response that the Empress Dowager was depressed for a while, obviously the emperor did not take his words to heart.

"Your Majesty, do you really want the eldest son of the Qing Emperor to be born in Yijie?"

The Empress Dowager emphasized her tone, and said this, which made Kangxi finally put down the tea bowl in his hand, and he raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager: "I know what you are worrying about, don't worry, this will never happen. "

I am just about to pass the year of weak crown, and Ruyu is still young, not to mention, now Ruyu has not fully accepted herself, it is still early for the eldest son of the emperor, and the next period of time is enough for me to arrange up.

Because of Kangxi's extremely serious tone at the moment, the Empress Dowager has never been able to figure out what Kangxi is thinking.

However, since the emperor's attitude had already been expressed, the empress dowager also nodded her head because she didn't want to push too hard.

Afterwards, the two of them acted like their ancestors were in harmony, and talked for a long time. Kangxi said that he left because of court affairs.

It was just that after Kangxi returned to his Qianqing Palace, he called Liang Jiugong in: "Go and find out who has been to the Palace of Compassion and Ning recently and talked to the Empress Dowager."

As the chief steward of the imperial court, Liang Jiugong was naturally very well-informed about the news in the palace, and he came back after inquiring about it not long after.

"Back to the emperor, the slave asked people to inquire about it. The empress dowager is now in the palace for a quiet rest, and it is easy to see no one. Only the concubine Tong came to visit her the day before yesterday."

"Concubine Tong?" Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he thought about it, but he remembered that his cousin was by her side when his mother passed away. .

However, Xu Shi used to treat Concubine Tong too leniently, so that she dared to reach out for everything now, even dared to persuade the Empress Dowager, hoping to alienate herself from Ruyu.

"You go to pass on my will. Concubine Tong is disrespectful in front of the imperial court. From now on, she will be confined to Chengqian Palace and punished for three months."

Kangxi's thoughtless punishment made Liang Jiugong stunned for a moment, and then he hurried out.

After he got out, Liang Jiugong walked away, scratching his teeth, wondering, what stupid thing did Concubine Tong do to let the emperor punish him with such baseless reasons?

I'm afraid that today's thoughtless punishment will definitely make Concubine Tong a laughing stock in the harem.

Sure enough, not to mention how concubine Tong gritted her teeth when she heard that decree, even Concubine Rengui and Concubine Niu Hulu were stunned for this reason, and then showed a sneer.

Apart from other things, Concubine Tong used to show off in front of the two of them because of her relationship with the emperor, but now seeing the emperor punishing her like this regardless of the relationship that Concubine Tong has always talked about, who doesn't laugh inwardly Woolen cloth?

However, after laughing, people can't help but wonder what Concubine Tong did to make the emperor punish her like this.

However, no matter how curious those concubines were, they were not able to intervene in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so even though they were curious about the reason why Concubine Tong was punished, until half a month later, they still couldn't find a trace, so they had to put the matter on hold .

It's just that everyone in the palace didn't know about it, but Wen Ya and Kangxi never concealed it.

When Kangxi told Wen Ya about this matter, Wen Ya didn't realize that she had eaten the unique melon in the entire palace, but was rather speechless because of Concubine Tong's behavior.

Leaving aside the current emperor, the reason why he comes here every day is because his feet grow beside the emperor, how can others be the master of the emperor?

The fact that the emperor is now the king of a country, and she actually wanted to surpass the emperor and use the empress dowager to force the emperor is enough to arouse people's rebellious psychology, so Concubine Tong's punishment is really not injustice.

As for Concubine Tong's malice towards her...

Wen Ya already knew this well, and just hearing Kangxi mentioning it at this moment, she no longer had the fear she used to have, but instead felt a kind of indifference if there were too many lice and it didn't itch.

Even because of this, Wen Yajing was still a little leisurely to take a fresh round ball from below to taste, and while peeling and eating, she smacked her tongue and sighed: "Why bother, why do women make things difficult for women?"

However, although Concubine Tong didn't like her in every possible way, she didn't do anything to actually hurt her, otherwise she would have to fight an eye for an eye with an eye for an eye.

Although Wen Ya likes the life of Xianyu very much, but when Xianyu is provoked, he will turn over and use his tail to give people a face!

And Kangxi listened to Wen Ya's heartless comments, shook his head, and poked Wen Ya's forehead: "I said such a long series of words, does Ruyu only remember Concubine Tong?"

Wen Ya was stunned for a moment when she heard Kangxi's words, and then looked at Kangxi in a daze: "Then what else does the emperor have hidden meaning to tell me, tell me, and I will listen with all my ears!"

"Don't be poor here, can't you hear the subtext of what the Empress Dowager said?"

As Kangxi said, Wen Ya put the peeled hook balls into his mouth and chewed slowly, and after swallowing, he said slowly: "I can definitely hear it, but the Empress Dowager said It is also a fact, and my origin is not something I can decide."

After Wen Ya said this, she ate Gouyuanzi again like a little squirrel, which made Kangxi look at her helplessly.

He knew that the person in front of him had no ambitions. If someone said that so arrogantly, he would definitely pester him and think of a way for her to wipe away this lowly background.

"I think you are sure that I will never care about you, so I can act recklessly like this!"

Wen Ya giggled, feeling that the Gouyuanzi in her mouth was extraordinarily sweet, and then put a peeled Gouyuanzi in Kangxi's palm: "The emperor still understands me!"

Although Kangxi felt helpless about Wen Ya's evasive behavior, seeing the girl's innocent and trusting face, he couldn't bear to say anything more.

"Don't worry, I will never let anyone treat you so lightly in the future..."

Kangxi murmured, but his voice was too low, even Wen Ya, who was sitting across from him, could hear it vaguely. Just when he was about to ask, he saw Kangxi put the round ball in his palm into his mouth: "Sure enough, something that has passed through Ruyu's hands is delicious."

Wen Ya couldn't help giving him a look when he was interrupted by Kangxi, but after this incident, Kangxi never mentioned it again.

……

The Wuya clan has multiplied and has become a large clan so far, and the accumulation of these hundred years has already made the Wuya clan have stepped up countless steps.

Apart from other things, just looking at the ancestral house that now occupies the root of the imperial city is enough to tell the difference.

Although he was born in a coat, the house was extraordinarily luxurious under the condition of not violating the rules.

It's just that this ancestral house can only be lived in by the direct line. As for the children of the concubines, they will be separated after they get married.

But today, the second master of the Wuya clan, who had been separated long ago, was being sent out respectfully by the housekeeper.

"Second master, you have to think carefully about what the master said today. It's really not good that there are only three girls in the palace alone."

That second master is also a wonderful person, looking at the butler blankly:

"What's wrong, you have no connections as a master, and you can't find out the news in the palace? But I heard that my daughter is very favored by the emperor in the palace, and that's why this time the canonization is all about it!

My concubine, the head of the six concubines, I have never been so proud at such a young age. When the eunuchs in the palace came to congratulate me, my master realized that in the end it is my girl who strives for success! "

The second master gave a thumbs up while talking, the proud look on his face made the housekeeper choke, and then showed a hint of disdain.

This second master was a bit stupid when he lived in the mansion, so later the mistress asked someone to find a woman with a clean family background for him, and sent it away.

It's just that he didn't expect the daughter under his knee to be so lucky, and she has become a concubine in just a short time.

If that's all, it's fine, but there is still a concubine in the palace, and now she is just a little maid.

It's a pity for the housekeeper to think like this. Thinking about seeing the eldest daughter-in-law since he was a child, he finally showed a smile, and said cautiously: "This flower will not be popular for a hundred days, and people will not be good for a thousand days. There is a sister, watching and helping each other, even if you have something, you should have a support, right?"

The second master nodded in agreement with the butler's words, and the expression on the butler's face instantly relaxed, revealing a hint of joy.

"You're right, but even if the concubine who is the head of the six concubines falls out of favor in the future, she will live a happy life. How can I let a small seventh-rank sesame official worry about this, okay? Having said that, the food served at the house today is good, so I'm going back now!"

housekeeper:……

It was the first time that the steward hated the foolish appearance of the second master so much, but even so, thinking of the high-ranking concubine in the palace, he could only suppress the anger in his chest, gritted his teeth and waited for a taste of it. With the smell of blood, he bowed his waist in humiliation.

"As long as you are satisfied, you have a good journey!"

The second master didn't seem to notice the gnashing of teeth in the butler's tone, he responded nonchalantly, then pulled out a fan from his waist, and walked towards the house while dangling.

The inner city of the capital is where the Banner people live, and it is not easy for the Wuyuan clan to have such a big house.

And this man called Er Ye swayed like this, walked through the spacious official road, stepped on the extremely uneven path, and detoured several alleys, only then did he see the small courtyard house not far away.

This is the second master's home, and before the second master entered the door, he bumped into his son who was about to rush out of the room: "You are in a hurry, what are you going to do?!"

The second master angrily took the fan and hit his son on the head.

"Ama, Ama, you are finally back, save your son, save your son, Erniang is going to kill her son!"

"Your mother-in-law wants to beat you to death? Yes! But you did something out of the ordinary to make your mother-in-law angry again?!

When your mother-in-law married Ama and me, she was a gentle and virtuous girl. She never quarreled with me, but you, a brat, made her angry every time! "

The second master was talking and muttering, just holding on to his son's sleeve to prevent him from escaping.

"Ama, let's not mention this matter today. My son, I have other important matters. You first raise your hand and let my son..."

"What did you tell me to do? Did you tell me to trouble other girls again? I don't know whose temperament you have followed, but you Ama has always been an upright person, but you are always promiscuous!!

If Aunt Zhang in the alley hadn't seen it, I don't know when you hooked up with that girl from the Wang family again! "

"What is hooking up? Erniang! Don't make it so harsh, it's clearly that the girl of the Wang family admires my son's magnificent face!"

"I bother!"

Seeing her son's shameless appearance, Mrs. Chen took a sip, then pulled out the feather duster in her hand, and the two circled around the second master, but the second master was only shaking his fan slowly, looking at the old man Smiling as his wife beating his son.

"Does Er Niang think that my son's words are unreasonable? My sister and I were both born by you, Er Niang. My sister is a well-deserved favor in the palace now, and it's not because of the card you gave me. Good skin?!"

No matter how fast Wuya Yifei hid, his sleeve was always being pulled by his own Ama, so he had to be hit a few times.

But Mrs. Chen is a woman after all, and it doesn't hurt or itch to hit her body, but Wu Yayifei is well aware of her mother's temperament, and she is screaming miserably at the moment, which makes Mrs. Chen hesitate for a while, and whether she is really The strike is heavy.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble. It's useless to keep making trouble like this at the gate. It's a joke for others to see."

After the second master watched the two speak slowly, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and put down the feather duster: "You thick-skinned, your sister is as jade-like as water, what about you brat?" Can it compare with my Ruyu?!"

Mrs. Chen spat, then turned around and returned to the house with a feather duster.

It's just that Mrs. Chen's words were wrong, and Wu Yayifei didn't say anything else, but she had a face that was exceptional among men.

Even with the usual money rattails, it still does not lose its elegance, but the leather is the wheat color brought about by riding and shooting all the year round, and it looks more masculine.

"Aren't you going back? Your mother's anger is gone now, if you run out again, don't blame Ama for not saving you next time."

While the second master was talking, he put the fan back on his waist, and walked back with his hands behind his back, while Wu Yayifei only followed behind the second master dejectedly.

After the door of Wu Ya's house was closed, the three of them arrived at the main hall, and the second master slowly took the first seat. Before Wu Yayifei could speak, the second master said flatly, "Kneel down."

Although the voice was light, Wuya Yifei subconsciously plopped down on his knees in the next second: "Ama..."

"Don't call me Ama, do you still know that I am your Ama? How did I tell you before your sister became a concubine? How long has it been since you caused trouble again and made your mother angry!"

Wu Yayifei heard his grandmother say this, and quickly argued: "Ama really didn't do it on purpose this time, but the girl from the Wang family insisted on it!"

"Idiot, why did you post that girl from the Wang family? Did that girl from the Wang family ever glance at you when your sister was not a concubine before?"

"Of course my son knows that the girl from the Wang family has taken a fancy to her younger sister and is now a concubine!"

"Knowing that you are still being used by her, if your mother-in-law hadn't heard the news, I'm afraid you will bring her back to me after you have a secret relationship with her in the future!"

Speaking of this, the second master felt pain in his heart, liver, spleen and lungs. The girl he had pampered for several years was first sent to the Li branch to be transferred/taught, and finally had to enter the palace as a palace maid...

When he remembered that his daughter, who was just born as a little fan, had to suffer all kinds of hardships in the palace that he couldn't see, and endured countless hardships, he felt very distressed.

It's so easy to become a concubine now, but my son is still so worried!

"Look at what you said, Ama, since the son knows that she wants to use him, why can't the son use it back? Although the girl of the Wang family has high eyes, the Wang family has some strength in the army. Although the younger sister is now a concubine, But in our family's situation, I'm afraid my sister will be underestimated in the palace!

The son knows that he has no great talent, and he really can't pass the imperial examination, but if his son is asked to find a small official to do it like Ama, the son is unwilling, and the only one who can get ahead is the army! "

"In the army? Have you made up your mind?"

The second master didn't expect that his son, who he thought would only cause trouble, would have such great ambitions, so he was taken aback for a moment.

"Son naturally thinks about it. Besides, the girl from the Wang family has such a heart to use her son. If the son doesn't return it, it's not in vain. Since she wants to use her son, she might as well tie him up with him in the future." Be together."

As Wu Yayifei said so, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

Since he was a child, because of his father's status as a concubine, he was often boycotted and bullied by such superiors in the ethnology. He still remembers the way those people looked at him arrogantly when he was beaten.

Therefore, even if his sister was sent to teach in the future, he would also worry about climbing the wall to peek every day.

And his childhood experience made him never like the kind of person who gave himself alms with a superior appearance, but this girl from the Wang family has everything!

Listening to his son's words, the second master trembled his fingers, and suddenly understood why he made such a fuss outside the gate just now.

The girl from the Wang family only saw the glory of her daughter as a concubine, but she didn't think about understanding what kind of person her son was, so she acted rashly like this, and she didn't know if the two of them really got married in the future... would they become a pair of resentful spouses?

"You, it's just that you don't have to be like this. Then the girl from the Wang family was sent away by your mother..."

"No, Ama, since she wants to marry, then let her marry, but I have the final say on how she will marry."

Wu Yayifei said so, and then slowly stood up, and this time he left the house as usual.

Just after he got out of the gate, Wu Ya Yifei showed his usual carefree appearance, but before he got out of the alley, he was stopped by a man with a white face and a soft voice.

"You are the elder brother of Empress Yupin, our master welcomes you."

Wu Yayifei glanced sideways at the man in front of him, pretending to be a prostitute in the past, spat out the grass root in his mouth, and then asked with a smile: "Yo, I didn't expect to curry favor with my sister so quickly. Someone is here again, who is your master?"

"You will know when you go."

Wu Yayifei's eyes flickered, seeing the man's firm attitude, he finally relaxed.

"Leading the way ahead, my sister is a concubine, forgive me for not daring to do anything to me!"

……

Ever since the empress dowager blatantly showed contempt for Wen Ya's background that day, Kangxi began to investigate the Wuya clan.

In this investigation, Kangxi discovered some interesting things.

The Wuya clan was born in Baoyi, but the other people born in the Wuya clan can work hard in the palace, but the second master of the Wuya clan had someone find a job for him in Beijing early on. Has climbed to the position of Taichang Temple Dianbo.

And this person is an upright official, but he also has his own way of being an official, so he can let himself go up step by step when he has no connections and no money.

It's just that he walked too slowly, and the second master of Wu Ya's family is also very old, so I don't know if he can cultivate it in the future?

But what Kangxi was interested in was Uya Yifei, who was born out of this Wenya compatriot.

As the only son of Wu Ya's second wife, Wu Ya Yifei has a dissolute nature. At best, he's promiscuous, but at worst, he's gossiping.

It just so happens that he has a good face, so those girls admire him very much, but if there is any sign, he will be beaten by his mother-in-law.

If it's just like this, then that's fine, but Wuya Yifei is also a wonderful person, when he broke up with those girls, he didn't damage his reputation, and even made those girls have to be beaten with sticks in the future At the same time, I still think about the benefits of this person, and from this we can know that this person must be the kind of person who talks nonsense when he sees others, and talks nonsense when he sees ghosts.

As for such a person, Kangxi thought that he would definitely be able to use him in the near future.

But before using this person, Kangxi wanted to see if this person was what he thought.

If this person is not what he deduced, then he should continue to be his prodigal son.
