The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

In the end, Kangxi did not take it as a refutation of Tong Guowei's face, but he did not directly agree to Tong Guowei not to be the new emperor and noble concubine, but only said his uncle's idea, and he would consider it carefully.

At this point, Tong Guowei couldn't say anything more.What should be said, he has already said, if he pursues him closely, he will exceed his duty as a courtier, and Kangxi should be dissatisfied.He couldn't help but smiled wryly. Kangxi promised him that he would consider it, so he must have been shaken, right?I hope the final result can be as they wish.

Ever since Concubine Tong Huanggui entered the harem, on the surface she seemed to have boundless glory. Kangxi also respected and doted on this cousin very much, but in fact, Tong Guowei knew that his daughter's life was not easy.Thinking back when she was pregnant with Qionghua, many people wanted to reach out and scratch the piece of flesh in her stomach, and her own daughter was cautious, so I didn't get the way of those people.Now, my daughter has gone through all kinds of hardships, and she has a son and a daughter, and finally she is about to be crowned empress, but before she can enjoy the glory that belongs to the empress, she first received a warning from the emperor. This is really, people don't know what to say .

After sending Kangxi away, Tong Guowei recruited several sons to discuss ideas, and told Kangxi's attitude to Hui Ye, who had left the palace by purchasing.

"According to what I know about the emperor, the emperor probably hasn't given up on the idea of ​​conferring the new imperial concubine. Whether or not the new empress and noble concubine can be conferred is still in the fifth or fifth count. Does your empress have any backup options?" Tong Guowei asked.

Hui Ye said: "Your Majesty has said that the Emperor intends to make Concubine Niu Colu the Imperial Concubine, but if Concubine Niu Colu is not willing, the Emperor has no way to force it."

Tong Guowei and his sons were very surprised when they heard the words: "If Concubine Niu Colu had the opportunity to be the deputy queen, why would she refuse? That is the second only to the queen in the harem!"

"But if you sit in this position, you will become the target of public criticism. Not only will you be targeted by many concubines, but you will also greatly offend our empress. Concubine Niu Yulu has always been low-key and doesn't like to cause trouble. In the past, she was with the empress Yifei. When assisting the affairs of the Six Palaces, she never took the initiative to stand out, and the presence of the Yifei Empress is higher than her. If the noble concubine Niu Yulu is allowed to choose by herself, she may not want to sit on the position of imperial concubine."

"It's true that the noble concubine Niu Gulu is not favored by the emperor, and since the crime of the empress Niu Gulu and the father of the noble concubine Niu Gulu, Master Ye Bilong, the Niu Gulu family has not been used by the emperor as much as before, and the authority is also Not as good as before." Long Kedo thought for a while and said: "Although Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui are below Concubine Niu Colu, their momentum is no worse than Concubine Niu Colu. If Concubine Niu Colu is allowed to sit on the throne The position of noble concubine, one is bound to offend the elder sister, and the other is that concubine Yi and Concubine Hui may not be convinced. Thinking about it, the noble concubine Niu Gulu may not be willing to show the limelight. If we send someone to Niu Gulu's house to show affection, Knowing the truth, let Concubine Niu Colu automatically resign from the position of imperial concubine, and the little sister's troubles will be solved-if even a noble concubine cannot become an imperial concubine, it will be even more difficult for Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui to surpass the imperial concubine and be rejected. Canonized as the new imperial concubine."

Qing Fu, Tong Guowei's sixth son, said: "Since that's the case, why don't you tell Concubine Niu Colu directly? You have to send someone out of the palace to negotiate with Niu Colu from our house, and then send it back to the palace. Didn't it go around in a circle?"

Long Keduo said: "Because we are not sure now, what is the attitude of Concubine Niu Gulu and the Niu Gulu family behind her, just take this opportunity to test it out. This roundabout way is that in the end we failed to get along with you. Niu Colu's family reached an agreement, and the empress in the palace will not tear up her face with Niu Colu. If the empress directly goes to Niu Colu's imperial concubine and tells it, not to mention that there are so many pairs of eyes staring at the palace, just say this As for the matter itself, if Concubine Niu Colu is unwilling to resign as Imperial Concubine, then there will be no room for our empress to change things when we meet Concubine Niu Colu in the future."

Tong Guowei glanced at Long Keduo appreciatively, and said to Qingfu: "You are still a little tender now, and you don't think things thoroughly enough. In the future, when your brother is dealing with things, you should learn more."

"Yes, Ama." Qingfu bowed his head respectfully.He is not as talented as his elder brother, so he is not dissatisfied with what Tong Guowei told him to learn from his elder brother.

"If our plan fails, the candidate for the imperial concubine will definitely be the imperial concubine Niu Yulu. Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui will be promoted to noble concubines. There is nothing to say. But if our plan is successful, the position of the imperial concubine will be vacant, and the imperial concubine Niu Yulu will remain the same." It's a noble concubine, among Yifei and Huifei, only one can be promoted to noble concubine, after all, as a rule, there are only two places for noble concubine." Longkodo's eyes shone brightly.

Hui Ye said: "Your Majesty has considered this point, Empress Concubine Hui will definitely not let go of this place of entitlement, and Empress Yi will not be willing to stay behind. At that time, Empress Hui will continue to stay in the concubine position Let's go!"

Nalan Mingzhu has created a big obstacle for her mother-in-law, and she is not rude when she comes and goes!

"Just what I want!" Longkodo sneered.

On the way to visit the mausoleum of Kangxi, Longkodo would not fail to notice the hostility that Nalan Mingzhu released towards him. Quite uncomfortable.In addition, just after his sister was about to be sealed off, Nalan Mingzhu proposed to seal the Sixth Palace on the back foot, which obviously added to his sister's troubles.

Of course, the most important task right now is to solve the matter of the new emperor and noble concubine first.Only when this matter is resolved, will they be free to do other things.

……

Niu Gulu's family was naturally happy after learning that their family was producing a queen, and possibly a royal concubine.

However, it didn't take long for the people of Niu Gulu's family to be happy, and they were thrown into a basin of cold water.

After seeing off the guests from the Tong family, Faka, the current head of Niu Gulu's family, looked solemn. He is the younger brother of Queen Niu Gulu and Concubine Niu Gulu, and now inherits the first-class duke. It seems that the glory is boundless, only he knows , he was actually not in Kangxi's favor.

Originally, sealing the Six Palaces this time was an excellent opportunity in his opinion.If Concubine Niu Colu can go one step further, the family will also have one more support.

But Faka didn't expect that before he came to Kangxi to confer the imperial decree on Concubine Niu Colu, he waited for the Tong family to come first.

Faka recalled what Longkodo said to him just now, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.According to Longkodo's intention, if Concubine Niu Colu is willing to take the initiative to resign from the position of Imperial Concubine, the Tong family is willing to recommend his eldest son as an official.According to the Tong family's current power and the degree of winning the Sacred Heart, the official position must be really bad, and the prospect will not be bad.

If Faka agrees to the deal proposed by Longkodo, Niu Gulu's family will have one more minister with real power, and what they will lose is nothing more than the title of imperial concubine.But if he doesn't agree to Longkodo's request... Faka has no doubt that his family will definitely offend Concubine Tong and the Tong family.Even Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui will focus on the empresses in the palace. Although there is only one word difference between Concubine Gui and Concubine Huang, the meanings are quite different.

Thinking of this, Faka is actually inclined to let Concubine Niu Colu resign on her own initiative.After all, Niu Colu's family had a queen before, but it only brought a false title to the family, and failed to bring any real benefits to the family. Queen Niu Colu did not know why after less than a year of being the queen, and then let go Human world.If the noble concubine Niu Gulu becomes an imperial concubine, she might follow in the footsteps of Queen Niu Gulu.

But after all, Concubine Niu Gulu had to nod herself, and Faka, as her younger brother, was not good at making claims.

After some thought, Faka wrote a letter, sent someone to bring it into the palace, and handed it to Concubine Niu Colu...

Watching the letter paper slowly turn into ashes under the licking of the flames, Concubine Niu Colu straightened her drooping temple hair as if nothing had happened.

Her confidant palace maid Taohua only knew that the younger brother of the noble concubine outside the palace and the current head of Niu Gulu's family wrote a letter to the noble concubine, but she didn't know what was written in that letter.

But Taohua has always been a smart person. Seeing that Concubine Niu Colu had a slightly dignified look on her face, she couldn't help asking: "Master, this letter is related to the one you will be canonized as the new imperial concubine." About the rumors?"

Concubine Niu Colu pondered for a moment, and said: "That's right. Some people in the palace took the rumors as true. It's not good after all. You will go with the palace to the emperor in a while, and ask the emperor to come forward to clarify the rumors." .”

"Your Majesty, did your uncle ask you to do this?" Taohua said urgently: "Since there are such rumors in the palace, and the emperor has not ordered to stop it, doesn't it mean that the emperor really intends to make you an imperial concubine? At the critical point, if you go to the emperor to clarify the rumors... you will end your own future, you must think twice!"

"He asked Ben Gong to do it, but it was also Ben Gong's own idea. You know what Ben Gong is like. If I don't want to do something, the family will force me not to do it." When mentioning members of the family, Concubine Niu Yulu's tone was quite cold, but when facing her confidant, she was very gentle and patient: "Resigning from the position of imperial concubine may not necessarily mean ruining one's future in the eyes of this palace. My sister was no more than a concubine at the time. One year, it will pass away forever. If I become an imperial concubine now, and I am sandwiched between Empress Tong, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui, maybe it will not end well. I have no ambitions, and I can't be a vice queen , let those who have ambitions take the post of queen.”

Concubine Niu Yulu looked at the small cradle placed in front of her. In the cradle, Shi elder brother Yin was sleeping soundly, and her brows and eyes softened: "I just want to live a peaceful life now, and the ten elder brother Yin is sleeping soundly. Elder brother is raised well, as for other things, I don't care, and I don't care."

This time, her idea coincides with her good brother, doesn't it?

Although they are of the same mother, the relationship between Noble Concubine Niu Colu and Faka can only be described as unfamiliar.

For Faka, Concubine Niu Colu is Kangxi's concubine first, Niu Colu's reliance, and his sister second, and the same is true for Concubine Niu Colu.Among the brothers and sisters of the same mother, there are brothers and sisters who are deeply affectionate, and naturally there are those who are indifferent and only rely on the relationship of interests to maintain. Concubine Niu Colu and Faka belong to the latter.

After listening to Concubine Niu Colu's words, Taohua felt relieved: "Your Majesty is as good as she is. I am afraid that your Majesty will wrong me for the sake of the family. Now that you know that this is what your Majesty wants, you can rest assured."

"I have already sacrificed once for my family when I entered the palace. Naturally, my life after entering the palace will no longer be at their mercy."

……

When Concubine Niu Colu appeared in front of Kangxi and told her that she was quite annoyed by the rumors recently and begged Kangxi to come forward to refute the rumors, Kangxi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "If this is not a rumor, but true? , after the empress ceremony, are you willing to become the new imperial concubine?"

"The emperor lost his ministers and concubines. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has been no reason for the empress to establish an imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy empress. She was selected to be in charge of the six queens when there were no empresses in the palace. The affairs of the palace are just like Sister Tong. Now, since Sister Tong is going to be the queen, the position of imperial concubine, according to the views of the concubine, is better to be empty, otherwise, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to Sister Tong gone?"

There was no joy or anger on Kangxi's face: "You don't want to be the new imperial concubine, is it just because of this?"

"That's not true. The concubine just remembered the example of the imperial concubine in the previous dynasty, and I have lingering fears. The late emperor canonized the imperial concubine while the empress was still alive. Many people in the harem believed that the existence of Concubine Dong E was disrespectful to the empress, and Concubine Dong E was not capable of virtue. Convincing the public, so the harem is restless, even the Empress Dowager has a lot of complaints about it. The ministers and concubines think that their talents and virtues are still inferior to those of the former concubine Dong E, so they dare not repeat the same mistakes."

Concubine Niu Colu was able to stand out among all the concubines and occupy a high position, so naturally she had her means. She knew how much Kangxi, who was brought up by the empress dowager, disliked Concubine Dong E, even because the former emperor favored Concubine Dong E. The decline of the harem left a deep impression on Kangxi. Since he ascended the throne, Kangxi has deliberately turned against the late emperor, and has taken in a lot of concubines, and heirs have prospered. This can also be reflected from the side, the psychological shadow left by the late emperor and Concubine Dong E How profound.

Sure enough, after Concubine Niu Colu mentioned Dong E, who was once the imperial concubine, Kangxi, who was still in doubt about whether to be the new imperial concubine, changed his mind.

Although it is not good for Empress Tong to dominate, it would be even worse if there was another concubine similar to Dong E's.

That being the case, it is better to let go of the canonization of the new imperial concubine, Kangxi thought.

……

Changchun Palace

Concubine Tonghuang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Concubine Niu Colu went to Kangxi in person and asked Kangxi to come forward to refute the rumors: "Fortunately, Concubine Gui is a smart person, and she is not as ambitious as ordinary concubines. effort."

Hui Ye smiled and said: "It's just that the person who spread the rumors behind his back has worked so hard to cover up his whereabouts. In the end, the emperor didn't let the rumors spread for a few days, so the emperor himself came forward to refute the rumors. That person spread the rumors, Presumably it was intentional to disgust the empress, the servant guessed, that person is probably vomiting blood now."

An hour ago, Kangxi had just ordered Liang Jiugong to convey his oral order, saying that the imperial concubine Tong will soon become a queen, and if there is a queen in the palace, she will not be canonized as an imperial concubine, so the noble concubine Niu Colu will not participate in the promotion of the harem this time In order to compensate the noble concubine, the noble concubine was given double the salary, and even the ten elder brothers who were born by the noble concubine also received a lot of rewards from the emperor.

With Kangxi's oral instructions, people in the harem naturally dare not discuss whether Kangxi is going to canonize the noble concubine as the new imperial concubine, and while giving Tong Huanggui the highest honor, at the same time slap Tong Huanggui in the face, the center of their discussion has become the harem Among them, there are only two imperial concubines. Kangxi clearly stated that imperial concubine Niu Yulu would not participate in this promotion, but he did not say that Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui would not be promoted.

So here comes the question, there is only one imperial concubine, currently there are two concubines, Yifei and Huifei, if there is one person who will take the position, is that person Yifei or Huifei?

Concubine Rong has been demoted to concubine for some time, will she use this opportunity to reset the harem this time?

Poor virtuous person, can you take this opportunity to be promoted to a concubine?
