Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Because the Empress Dowager did not hide it, the news that another Borzigit family would enter the harem quickly spread throughout the entire palace as if it had wings.

Thanks to Xuan nobleman's "blessing", all the concubines in the palace did not have a good impression of the noble lady from Horqin, and everyone thought in unison——

Don't care about the temperament of this new Borzigit, anyway, as long as she lives in Xianfu Palace, the palace will be lively.

Of course, it's not that the concubines in the palace don't care about newcomers entering the palace at all, but they know that even if they care, it's useless, because they can't stop the Manchu-Mongolia marriage.

The empress dowager was looking forward to this matter, and Kangxi agreed again, and they had no position to express their opposition at all.

Since they couldn't object, they had no choice but to accept it.

Not to mention other people, even Guifei Tong Jia understood this truth, but she understood it. After the greetings were over, Guifei Tong Jia smashed a tea set.

It wasn't that Concubine Tong Jia was worried that Wu Rina would be like Jing Hao after entering the palace and would become her confidant's serious trouble, but that she suddenly realized——

If her noble concubine loses her palace power, she will not be able to compare with the concubine of Xiao Niu Gulu's family.

Obviously, the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia is so important, and it is also a big event to have a newcomer in the harem, but she, the highest-ranking person in the harem, is going to be reduced to the same level as other low-ranking concubines, and she only knows about this by the notification of Concubine Niu Colu thing.

Not everyone gossips like Concubine Rong, so many concubines only found out about it when Concubine Niu Colu went to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects.

Concubine Tong Jia is no exception.

Because Kangxi decreed to seize the power of the palace before, Chengqian Palace has been very peaceful from top to bottom under the example of Concubine Tong Jia in the recent period. The confinement in Xianfu Palace has not been released so far, and the people in Chengqian Palace will not pay attention to her movements.

So when she suddenly heard such news, Concubine Tong Jia was stunned.

"She did it on purpose, and the little Niu Gulushi did it on purpose!" Concubine Tong Jia recalled the way Concubine Niu Gulu looked at her when she announced the news, and suddenly became angry.

"I already know that she is a slut just like her sister Niu Gulu!" Concubine Tong Jia gritted her teeth and said that she had already felt very humiliated when she lost to Empress Xiaozhao when she was competing for the successor position. I thought that after the death of Empress Xiaozhao, no other concubines would be able to ride on her head, but I never expected——

A Niu Gulushi died, and a young Niu Gulushi died.

Normally, when Concubine Niu Colu was at peace, even if Concubine Tong Jia didn't like her, she wouldn't hate her so much. She even thought that what if Empress Xiaozhao became a queen before?Doesn't her beloved sister want to dawdle under her hands and rely on her?

Concubine Tong Jia felt that the humiliation she had suffered from Empress Xiaozhao could be recovered from her sister.

In addition, she didn't think that she would be a short-lived ghost like Empress Xiaozhao, who died at a young age, so Concubine Tong Jia thought that she still had a lifetime of time to rest on Concubine Niu Colu's head.

Therefore, Concubine Tong Jia still hopes that Empress Xiaozhao will "have a spirit in the sky", so that she can see with her own eyes that her sister Concubine Niu Colu will bow her knees in front of her for the rest of her life.

It's a pity that the imagination is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Although Concubine Tong Jia is still the one with the highest status among the concubines in the harem, she is like a toothless tiger who has lost her palace power. Anyone can come Step on it.

"Your Majesty, we can't let her continue to be so arrogant." Ru Lan also said indignantly from the side, "How can you say that you are also a noble concubine, and her Xiao Niu Colu family doesn't give you face so much. What prestige can there be?"

"Shut up." Without waiting for Concubine Tong Jia to react, Nanny Liu reprimanded Ru Lan, "You know what's going on with the master, but you still encourage the master to fight with Xiao Niu Colu, aren't you Are you making trouble for the master?"

After reprimanding Ru Lan, Liu Mama looked at Concubine Tong Jia and said, "Master, we still don't know how much the emperor has caught us. If we make trouble for Xiaoniu Colu's now, then maybe it will fall to you." In the eyes of the emperor, it becomes that we don't know how to repent."

In fact, after Concubine Tong Jia was seized by Kangxi, Mammy Liu had an ominous premonition. The ominous premonition is even stronger.

It would be better (comparatively speaking) if Kangxi really found any conclusive evidence. If he did not find out but still punished Concubine Tong Jia, then this news would not be good news for them.

Why did Concubine Tong Jia and the others put in so much effort and effort to set up such a big game to deal with the former concubine?

Isn't it because they knew that if the image of Noble Wu Ya in Kangxi's mind plummeted, then it was certain that she would fall out of favor?

The reason is the same.

Long live God was so tolerant of their masters before?

One is because they are cousins, and the other is because Long Live Lord knows that their master loves to be jealous and loves to be jealous, but he is a person who does not have much scheming and has never done anything bad.

For such a person, Long Live God will naturally be tolerant.

But what if the Long Live Lord knows that their master is one thing on the outside and another on the back?

Every time she thinks of this, Grandma Liu shudders, but she dare not say such words easily, because she knows the temperament of Concubine Tong Jia, she is easy to be impulsive as long as it is related to Kangxi.

So Liu Mama could only hide this unsubstantiated conjecture in her heart, and only hoped that even if the facts were true as she thought, Kangxi would be able to see the past affection and give Concubine Tong Jia another chance.

Concubine Tong Jia didn't know what Mammy Liu was thinking, but her heart that was moved by Rulan's persuasion was immediately poured cold water by Nanny Liu.

"But if I don't do anything, if it falls into the eyes of Xiaoniu Colu, wouldn't it make her think that I am afraid of her?" Concubine Tong Jia felt that this period of time was really difficult.

It's not that she doesn't know that it's best for her to stand still at this moment, but she's used to being tolerated by Kangxi, and she's used to being superior. As a result, Kangxi doesn't tolerate her now, and the palace power has been taken away. Concubine Tong Jia feels that her Half the sky has fallen.

"Master, why do you have to argue with her so much? Maybe she deliberately provoked you and wanted you to make mistakes."

Grandma Liu said to Concubine Tong Jia, "And there will be newcomers entering the palace soon, and I don't know what kind of temperament this Borzigit is. Maybe the situation in the palace will be broken by then."

"Besides, your foot injury hasn't completely healed yet, so you might as well take advantage of this time to recuperate."

"You don't have to be afraid that someone will come up to you and act like a domineering concubine. After all, you are a concubine, and no one in the harem has a higher status than you. You can just sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight."

After finally persuading Concubine Tong Jia, Mammy Liu sighed in secret, because she knew very well that if there were no accidents in Concubine Tong Jia's current situation, it would probably last for a long time, Mammy Liu had nothing else to do. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Concubine Tong Jia won't have the patience to endure it.

-

Because she had learned about the newcomer's entry into the palace from Kangxi in advance, Jing Hao didn't react when she heard Concubine Niu Colu announce this in public.

She felt that Kangxi seemed to be bigger than her reaction.

After today's greetings were over, Jing Hao didn't stay outside anymore, and went back to Jingxiu Palace directly.

Because she had a so-so appetite this morning, she didn't eat much before going to Chengqian Palace, so she started to feel hungry right now.

When returning to Jingxiu Palace in a chariot sedan, Jing Hao saw Wei Zhu, an old acquaintance from Qianqing Palace, before she had time to ask Pomegranate to fry a plate of fried beef for her first.

"My servant has met Dai Xiaozhu, please greet Dai Xiaozhu." Wei Zhu stepped forward to greet Jinghao with a smile on his face, and after she shouted, Wei Zhu said, "Long live Lord knows that the young master is preparing to cut new clothes. So I specially asked the servant to send some pieces of cloth to the young master."

send again?

Jing took a good look at the little eunuchs behind Wei Zhu who were holding bundles of cloth, and for a while couldn't understand what Kangxi was thinking.

Although Kangxi used to send people to deliver things to her every now and then, it was not as frequent as these days.

Jinghao let Cherry and the others take over the fabrics, and at the same time asked Lizhi to reward Wei Zhu and the others.

After Wei Zhu and the others left, Jinghao asked Cherry and the others to bring the fabric in, and at the same time ordered Pomegranate to bring her a fried beef river.

"Lichi, tell me, why does the emperor always send things to me these days?" After Jing Hao washed her hands, she took a clean handkerchief from Li Zhi and wiped off the water on her hands.

"Of course it's because the emperor dotes on you." Li Zhi smiled from the side, "If it were someone else, it might not be so."

In terms of being favored, Jinghao is definitely not the only one in the harem who is favored, but she is the only one who is so favored.

Not kidding, Li Zhi felt that even the empress Xiaoxian, who was the ancestor of the ancestors, was not as good as their little master.

That's right, Empress Xiaoxian was indeed deeply favored when she entered the palace, and within a few months she was named the Grand Fujin of the West Palace.

What does Nishinomiya Daifujin mean?

That is to say, Empress Xiaoxian was enshrined as a flat wife instead of a concubine.

Then after more than a month, Empress Xiaoxian was promoted to imperial concubine again, and at the same time, Grandpa Shizu issued a decree for amnesty for the world.

You must know that there has never been such a precedent before this, not even when Shi Zuye's two empresses were canonized successively.

Not to mention that when Empress Xiaoxian gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, he was obviously a concubine, but was treated like a legitimate son by the ancestor, and even issued an edict to the world, calling the fourth son his first son.

The words of Shi Zuye completely ignored the three princes in front of him.

Although Lizhi was not born when Empress Xiaoxian favored her, she did not have the opportunity to see how Grandfather doted on her, but after comparing how Kangxi treated Jinghao, Lizhi felt that Grandfather loved Empress Xiaoxian. , like a castle in the air.

Beautiful, gorgeous but can't stand a little wind and rain.

That's why the fourth son of Empress Xiaoxian died early, and Empress Xiaoxian herself died early.

On the other hand, Kangxi treated Jinghao, even if he didn't give her a high position at the beginning, he gave her his only favor and heirs, and even handed over the little prince to Jinghao to take care of, giving her more bargaining chips, and letting the empress dowager treat her well. Turn a blind eye to things that are only favored.

Lizhi felt that if she was given a choice, she would rather go up step by step and step by step, rather than being praised to the sky all at once.

Jing Hao naturally didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking, but when she heard what she said, Jing Hao felt something was wrong.

It's not that she thinks that Kangxi doesn't pamper her enough, but that Jing Hao always feels that Kangxi's actions in the past few days are not so much pampering her, but rather...

make up for her?

Yes, it is to make up.

Jing Hao thought to herself, what Kangxi did these days seemed to be something wrong, and because of a guilty conscience, he tried his best to give her things, trying to make up for her and eliminate his guilt.

But the problem is-

Did Kangxi do something wrong?

Jinghao thought about it carefully, and found that she and Kangxi were quite normal these few days, and nothing else happened, except that a newcomer was about to enter the palace, so...

Did Kangxi feel guilty because of this incident?

impossible.

Jing Hao was eating fried Niuhe with pomegranate on the table, thinking to herself, although she still does not agree with the system of polygamy, but the current environment is like this, and Kangxi, as the emperor of a feudal society, is completely reasonable and legal Hua owns Sannomiya Sixth Hospital.

Let alone one newcomer, even if there are dozens of newcomers, few people will say anything about him, at most let him take care of his dragon body.

So here comes the question, since this is the case, why does Kangxi feel guilty?

This problem not only troubled Jinghao, but also troubled Kangxi.

Kangxi admits that he really prefers Jing, but people's hearts are biased. Besides, he is not fatuous and cruel, but he just favors a concubine he loves a little bit. Isn't that too much?

What's more, even if he prefers Jinghao, he just gave her some more rewards, and he didn't rashly give her a high position, and he didn't pass other high-ranking concubines into her hands.

As for the fact that after having Jinghao, apart from going to eat in the palace of concubines with heirs, there was no such thing as staying in the palace of concubines other than Jinghao, and Kangxi didn't think there was any problem.

After all, enough things in the previous dynasty have bothered him, and it is rare to have time to rest. Naturally, he will go to whoever can make him relax.

Moreover, Jinghao is pregnant with his child now, and he usually dotes on her, so it is even more impossible to throw her aside and ignore her at this time.

So for so long, Kangxi never felt that there was anything wrong with what he did, until the Empress Dowager mentioned to him that another Mongolian lady should enter the palace.

In fact, Kangxi knew very well that the Manchu-Mongolian marriage was not only beneficial to Mongolia, but also to the Qing Dynasty. After all, they just didn't want the harem of the Qing emperor to become the world of noble Mongolian women, and they didn't want to alienate or make enemies with Mongolia.

San Francisco has not yet been completely pacified, Taiwan has not yet been unified, and Tsarist Russia has invaded the Qing Dynasty many times. As for Junggar, which has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they have to guard against it.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty will naturally continue to maintain friendly relations with Mongolia.

Kangxi understands the truth, but I don’t know why, when the empress dowager proposed to marry Mongolia again, the first reaction in Kangxi’s mind was——

Wouldn't it be sad if Jinghao found out?

Kangxi didn't know why his first reaction was this, but in front of the Empress Dowager, he didn't show the slightest sign of emotion.

After agreeing to the Empress Dowager, Kangxi told Jinghao about it. After all, he had suffered from indecision before, but this time even if he made a quick decision, Kangxi didn't feel any pain.

Even though Jinghao wasn't very angry, let alone making a scene, and was just a little emotional, Kangxi still felt a little...

I don't know how to say it, but I feel like I did something wrong anyway.

But it was obvious that he did so, and it was only natural.

"Do you think I dote on you, Miss Dai, a little too much?" Kangxi suddenly asked Liang Jiugong who was beside him.

Liang Jiugong: "...!!!"

Thank goodness!

Long live you finally found out?

Hearing Kangxi's question, Liang Jiugong thought, why do you spoil Dai Xiaozhu too much?It's obviously too spoiled.

Liang Jiugong has been serving Kangxi for so many years, with so many concubines coming and going, he has never seen any concubine who can be so pampered by Kangxi like Jing Hao.

But of course, it’s good to think about these words in the bottom of your heart. Liang Jiugong would not be so stupid as to say it directly, but just apologized and said with a smile: "Long live, you have Xiaozhu Dai in your heart, so it is normal to favor her a bit."

"You are not honest when you talk to me?" Kangxi gave Liang Jiugong a glance. Although he couldn't figure out why he had such a feeling, after calmly examining the past between himself and Jinghao, it is not that Kangxi did not find the problem .

As Jinghao said, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it is only natural to own the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard. It is not that Kangxi's love for Jinghao is fake, but the education he has received since childhood is like this.

It's okay for him to love Jinghao, and it's okay for him to love Jinghao, but it's wrong to want to defend Jinghao like a jade.

Liang Jiugong didn't speak, because he knew that Kangxi didn't really need his answer. Seeing that he was lost in thought, Liang Jiugong thought, if Dai Xiaozhu fell out of favor because of this, then it's none of his business.

He did not trip up Xiaozhu Dai behind his back.

-

Jinghao didn't know that Kangxi was now in the torment of the battle between heaven and man. She couldn't figure out why Kangxi felt guilty, so she just put it behind her.

Because compared to this matter, the most important thing is to fill your stomach in front of you.

I have to say that Pomegranate's cooking skills are really top-notch. It is said that if you want to see if a Cantonese chef's cooking skills are good, you can know it by watching his fried beef.

The dry fried beef made by a really capable chef is tender and smooth, the rice noodles are springy but not broken, the bean sprouts are refreshing but not soft, and the bottom of the plate is dry and oil-free after eating. .

More importantly, fried beef must be wok-like.

And obviously, the pomegranate fried beef is excellent, and Jing Hao feels that there must be some Chinese masters on the pomegranate.

……

Just like eating, drinking, raising the baby, and in the blink of an eye, the day when the newcomer enters the palace comes.

Because the Manchu-Mongolian marriage is a major event, Kangxi also specially hosted a banquet to entertain the Mongolian veterans who came from afar.

From top to bottom on this day, all the concubines including the pregnant Jinghao attended the banquet, because everyone was very curious about the new Borzigit family.

Because she has not yet entered the palace, Uzhina who attended the banquet is still wearing traditional Mongolian costumes, probably because she grew up on the grasslands, so Uzhina does not look fair and weak. With a kind of heroic demeanor that concubines in the palace do not have.

It makes people feel open.

At least the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager really felt open-minded, especially the Empress Dowager.

"Your name is Uzhina, right? Come here and show Aijia a good look." The Empress Dowager was usually indifferent to the concubines in Kangxi's harem, but today she was very kind to Uzhina.

Why is the Empress Dowager so happy to see Uzhina?

The reason is very simple, because Uzhina's great-great-grandfather is the third brother Sonamu of the same father and mother of the Empress Dowager. Because of the close age, the Empress Dowager, Sonamu and the fourth brother were all married. The relationship is relatively close.

It's a pity that the two elder brothers of the Empress Dowager died earlier than her, so seeing Sonamu's great-great-granddaughter U Rina, the Empress Dowager inevitably felt close to her.

Especially on Uzhina's face, she vaguely saw something similar to her third brother.

"Ma'am, aunt, grandma." Wu Rina knew very well who her backer was after she came to the Qing Dynasty, so when she faced the Empress Dowager, she was naturally very generous with her enthusiasm and smiling face.

"Uzhina has met her aunt and aunt, and greets her aunt and aunt."

"Good boy." The Empress Dowager looked at the energetic Uzhina in front of her, and suddenly felt her nose a little sour, "You can rest assured that you can live in the palace, and if you are not used to it, just tell Aijia."

"With the wife and aunt taking care of Uzhina, Uzhina naturally has nothing to worry about."

……

Seeing Uzhina and the Empress Dowager get along so well, the concubines below naturally felt sour.

Those who are related by blood are different, and they see that Uzhina is not of the same temperament as the previous Xuangui.

Although it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to produce another queen from Mongolia, no one can guarantee that there will not be a favorite concubine from Mongolia.

After all, there is no concubine in their palace who collides with Uzhina, maybe the Long Live Lord will find it new?

Jinghao had a different idea from other concubines, she was completely focused on Uzhina's title of Empress Dowager.

Uzhina calls the empress dowager her wife and aunt, so how many generations are there?

Jing Hao secretly counted with her fingers, and then found out that U Rina is the grand-niece of the Empress Dowager, then isn't she the grand-niece of Kangxi? ? ?

Wow, this seniority...

Jing Hao was shocked.

……

U Rina moved into Xianfu Palace that day, because she was too tired to travel, it was normal for Kangxi not to check her brand that day, but the next day, the concubines in the harem wondered whether Kangxi could check U Rina's brand .

Not to mention other people, even the people in the respect room were curious. Although Uzhina had just entered the palace, the people in the respect room with the green head card that belonged to her had already been prepared.

After all, if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, she is a Mongolian lady from the hometown of the empress dowager.

So today, on the tray brought to Kangxi, there is Uzhina's green card, and it is still in the most conspicuous position.

Originally, this position was reserved for Jing’s green card.

Seeing that the place that originally belonged to Jinghao was "robbed" by Uzhina, Kangxi's first reaction was to frown. He can probably guess a little bit about the mind of the respect room, and he just wanted to please.

Logically speaking, Kangxi should have turned over Uzhina's green card. He stretched out his hand, and just when everyone thought he was going to turn over Uzhina's card, he suddenly took his hand back.

"Go down." Kangxi frowned.

The eunuch in the respect room was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to disobey Kangxi's intention, and after a "squeak", he retreated with the intact tray.

Not to mention the eunuchs in the respect room, even Liang Jiugong was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, are you going to Jingxiu Palace today?"

"Who said I'm going to Jingxiu Palace?" Kangxi said in a deep voice, "I will be staying in Qianqing Palace tonight."

Liang Jiugong: "..."

Oh yo, Long Live God is promising?

"Remember to send someone to inform you, Xiaozhu Dai, so that she won't have to wait for me." Kangxi said.

Liang Jiugong: "..."

Forget it, he took back what he just said.
