Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

What did Kangxi say?

Kangxi said: "There is no need to wrong Xi Concubine."

It has been emphasized that the titles of Jing Hao and Xi Concubine have the same pronunciation and different words, but everyone present can hear that the Xi Concubine Kangxi is talking about is obviously Xi Concubine and not Xi Concubine.

however……

This is obviously illogical.

Concubine Niu Colu and the others felt that what happened today was really wrong. First, Concubine Tong Jia took the initiative to bring up the matter that the titles of Jinghao and Concubine Xi had the same pronunciation and different words. Everyone thought that Concubine Tong Jia was thinking about it. On such a beautiful day, when Jinghao was in trouble, she suddenly changed the topic——

Hey, did Hesheli change his title?

Before everyone could realize what kind of medicine was sold in Concubine Tong Jia's gourd, Kangxi didn't follow Concubine Tong Jia's words as they thought, and directly changed the title of Concubine Xi, but said bluntly that there is no need to be wronged Xi concubine?

This is this...

Concubine Niu Colu and the others said that they really didn't understand, because they didn't feel that Jinghao fell out of favor at all. Yesterday, Kangxi was still staying in Jingxiu Palace, so here comes the problem——

Since Jinghao has not fallen out of favor, why did Kangxi not intend to wrong Xi Concubine but choose to wrong Jinghao?

It's not that Yibi and the others are over-interpreting, but that they really can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds besides wronging one of them.

So when Kangxi said this, rounding it up is equivalent to directly saying that it should be wronged and quiet.

Everyone thought, is it possible that Long Live Lord really intends to do this?

Even Noble Concubine Tong Jia, who proposed this matter at the beginning, was a little unclear about Kangxi's thoughts. Her purpose today was very clear, just to help Concubine Xi snatch Yin Zuo and raise her.

As a result, when Kangxi's unexpected words came out, Concubine Tong Jia was a little confused.

Just, quite suddenly.

But having said that, although Concubine Tong Jia doesn't know what Kangxi's words mean, but if he really changes the title of Jinghao, then even if Concubine Tong Jia's plan is not successful today, she will wake up with a smile when she sleeps and dreams tonight up.

Regardless of whether Kangxi gave Jinghao another title with a good meaning, but after all, she was changed because she collided with Xi Concubine's title. If this matter is placed on Jinghao, she will be ridiculed for a lifetime .

Kangxi didn't know that what he said made them think so much. After he said a word, he deliberately paused, and then he continued: "After all, Concubine Xi is an old man in the palace. Since the two of them If there is so much trouble caused by the title having the same pronunciation and different words, then I will change Dai Jia's title."

"Liang Jiugong, pass on my will." Kangxi said, "From now on, Concubine Dai Jia's title will be changed to Zhen, and Jin will be named Concubine Zhen."

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, Concubine Tong Jia raised her head and looked directly at him in surprise, regardless of her dignity, and all the concubines below also showed stunned expressions.

Just now when they heard Kangxi personally say to change Jinghao's title, although they were surprised, they inevitably felt a little gloating.

Their thinking is the same as that of Concubine Tong Jia. Never mind that Kangxi thought up a title for Jing Hao that meant how good it is, this matter will indeed become a point of ridicule for Jing Hao, and it will definitely be revealed from time to time in the future Laughing about it.

In the end, they didn't even have time to add insult to injury, and what Kangxi said after that immediately shattered their gloating about Jinghao, the kind that couldn't even find the slag.

"Zhen, Concubine Zhen?" Concubine Tong Jia couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this Dai Jia family has just been promoted to Concubine Xi for more than two months, and now she has been promoted to Concubine, isn't it a little bit too fast?"

"The concubine knows that Dai Jia has made great contributions to serving you, but there are so many sisters in the palace. Not to mention, all the younger sisters in the concubine have much higher qualifications than Dai Jia. If you surpass them If Dai Jia's family is promoted to Concubine Zhen, the concubine may not only affect the relationship between the sisters in the harem, but also damage Dai Jia's sister's reputation."

As I said before, there are really not many people in the harem who like Concubine Tong Jia, but there are many people who dislike her, but at this time, Concubine Rong and the others don't care whether she is pleasing to the eye or not, they all think that she is acting like this. It makes sense.

Because Jing Hao's qualifications are really shallow, to what extent?I am afraid that apart from Uzhina who came to the palace later, there are few people with lower qualifications than her.

Not to mention those who entered the palace in the same batch as Jinghao, concubines like Hui, concubine Rong, concubine Jing, and concubine Duan are much more experienced than her, and besides concubine Jing, all of them are equally promising for Kangxi. Pass offspring.

So now Kangxi has surpassed all their old people in one fell swoop, and has promoted Jinghao to the concubine Zhen. Rao, the concubine Hui who has a good relationship with Jinghao will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, so let alone those who have a bad relationship with Jinghao , and even remember those who hate her.

For example, Concubine Jing and so on.

But Wu Rina, who has a good relationship with Jinghao and even wants to hug Jinghao's thighs, thinks differently from them. When she heard what Concubine Tong Jia said, she couldn't help but said: "The imperial concubine's words are a bit wrong. It's biased. Since you said that everyone is sisters, shouldn't everyone be happy that Concubine Zhen can be promoted? How can it affect everyone's feelings, and how can it be bad for Concubine Zhen's reputation? "

Concubine Tong Jia and others: "..."

Shut up you son of a bitch!

"Borzigit's words are correct, and you don't have to worry about the imperial concubine." Kangxi is not the kind of soft-hearted person who can make him change his mind with just a few words, but he is not the kind of reckless person either. impatient.

It can be seen from the promotion that he suppressed Jinghao before. From the very beginning, he didn't intend to promote Jinghao directly to the top. After all, in his opinion, Jinghao is obedient. If you lift her to a high place all of a sudden, it's not hurting her, it's hurting her.

So if he hadn't been sure, Kangxi would definitely not suddenly rise up on such an occasion and say that he would give Jinghao a promotion.

Kangxi said, "Anyway, Dai Jia's original title collided with Concubine Xi's because I didn't notice it for a while. Both of them were right. If this is the case, naturally I didn't ask either of them to do it. It's justified to be wronged."

Concubine Tong Jia, Concubine Rong and others: "..."

It would be better to make Xi Concubine wronged.

Concubine Xi: "..."

Who did she provoke?

"The concubine knows that the emperor wants a bowl of water to be flat, but..." Concubine Tong Jia was interrupted by Kangxi before she finished speaking, and he said, "No but, the reason why I named Dai Jia as a treasure Concubine, it's not just to make up for her grievances."

"There is something that I didn't intend to say so early, but since I've caught up with it, I might as well choose another day rather than bump into it. I'll take advantage of today's auspicious day to tell everyone the good news."

Kangxi smiled and said, "After repeated attempts by the imperial physician Zhu Chungu and Chapox Zhang Jing, I have found a way to prevent smallpox that is safer than the smallpox vaccination method, and that is the vaccination method."

"The so-called vaccinia was originally a kind of disease in cattle. Even if it occurs on cattle, it will not cause the death of cattle. It will not cause any harm if it is used on humans. However, anyone who has been inoculated with vaccinia will recover. Afterwards, you will have the ability to resist smallpox for life."

After Kangxi said these words, the people below were stunned. Everyone knew how terrible smallpox was. As for what cowpox was, not everyone knew, but after hearing what Kangxi said, How can the people below not understand the importance of the vaccination method?

Concubine Hui and the others finally understood that Kangxi had already planned to vaccinate the elder brother and the others before, so why did they suddenly change their minds.

It's not that Kangxi was reluctant to let the eldest brother and the others vaccinate the pox, and planned to delay it for a while, but that Zhu Chungu and Zhang Jing's people found a method of inoculation that was safer than the smallpox vaccination.

If what Long Live Lord said is true...

No, Long Live Lord is the king of a country, so naturally he would not laugh at such a thing, that is to say, there is really such a safe and reliable method now, which can not only safely vaccinate people, but also can make people recover for life. Won't get smallpox again?

It's hard to say for others, but those concubines who have children and haven't had time to get the vaccine, such as concubines Hui and concubines Rong, can't help showing surprise expressions on their faces.

Although Concubine Niu Colu has no children, she is also a smart person. After hearing Kangxi's words, she asked aloud: "This concubine boldly guesses, the vaccination method should be proposed by sister Dai Jia, right? "

After finishing speaking, Concubine Niu Colu didn't wait for Kangxi to answer, she smiled and said, "If sister Dai Jia really proposed it, then this concubine thinks it's a matter of course for the concubine Jin to be concubine Zhen."

"After all, if the vaccinia vaccination method can be implemented smoothly, it can be said that the eradication of smallpox in the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner."

It has to be said that Concubine Niu Colu is much more cautious and smarter than others, and if Jinghao is promoted to Concubine Zhen, then she is above her in terms of status.

But Concubine Niu Colu didn't rush out like Concubine Tong Jia to think of various reasons, trying to make Kangxi change his mind.

And after hearing that Kangxi mentioned the method of vaccinia vaccination, she quickly weighed the pros and cons. She knew that since Kangxi wanted Feng Jinghao to be a concubine Zhen in public, she would definitely not take it back.

In addition, the Empress Dowager did not make a sound to stop it, which means that she must have known about this in advance in private. In this way, Jinghao's promotion to the concubine Zhen is already a certainty.

Concubine Niu Gulu didn't think that they could change Kangxi's mind by saying a few words, maybe they would anger Kangxi because of this. In this case, Concubine Niu Gulu felt that it would be better to follow Kangxi's will than to contradict Kangxi meaninglessly. .

I have to say that Concubine Niu Gulu's words really touched Kangxi's heart, he gave her a look of approval and said: "Niu Gulu's guess is right, this vaccination method is indeed Dai Jia's mentioned to me."

"Although Dai Jia's family is just a woman, she can't open up the territory and make achievements for the Qing Dynasty like a man, but she still cares about the people. Such a pure and kind person can naturally be regarded as a concubine."

As Kangxi said, he looked towards Jing, who was sitting below, "Dai Jia, why don't you get up and thank you?"

Ever since Kangxi said "there is no need to wrong the Concubine Xi", Jinghao has not reacted much, let alone his later statement that he would make her a concubine Zhen.

It's not that Jinghao belittled herself. In fact, even though she was still working hard to save pension money, she still had to admit that Kangxi was really kind to her.

And Jing Hao could vaguely realize that Kangxi's kindness to her was not as simple as an emperor's kindness to a concubine. After all, if it was just an emperor who doted on a concubine, then he could not do this.

Give her the exclusive favor before she is not pregnant, give her the exclusive favor after she is pregnant, and still give her the exclusive favor after she gave birth. I won’t talk about the time when Yin Qi suddenly fell ill. Uzhina entered the palace. That time he also specially greeted her in advance, even if he stayed in Qianqing Palace, he would send someone to notify her, and even felt guilty for her because someone entered the harem...

Jing Hao can't say that she is completely indifferent to all these things, let alone talk nonsense with her eyes open, saying that Kangxi treated her badly, otherwise she is really heartless.

But Kangxi treats her well, but Jinghao never thought that he would promote her to Zhenfei again only two months after she was promoted to concubine, because this is not in line with Kangxi's usual style.

Even if she really gave the cowpox to "Su" in advance, Jinghao thought that Kangxi would only promote her to concubine the next time he sealed off the harem.

The result was really unexpected, but...

Jinghao raised her head and looked at Kangxi, and met his gaze. She found that his eyes looking at her were warm, with obvious temperature, which made Jinghao couldn't help showing a smile.

Since Kangxi was willing to promote her as Concubine Zhen in advance, it was naturally impossible for her to refuse, although she blushed a little when she heard Kangxi's praise of her.

But to build momentum, this Jing is easy to understand.

Jinghao got up and bowed to Kangxi to thank him, saying: "My concubine, I thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Well, sit down." Kangxi knew that he should teach Jing Hao a few words at this time, but looking at Jing Hao, he couldn't say a word.

Firstly, it was because he was reluctant to admonish her, and secondly, he felt that according to Jing's good temperament, he admonished her for nothing.

-

No one thought that Guifei Tong Jia would make such a fuss at the banquet, and in the end it would be cheaper for Jinghao. Even Jingxiu Palace didn't expect that their master just went out to attend the winter solstice banquet. Why did they go around in circles? Come back and become Concubine Zhen?

But this is not important, what is important is that their master has been promoted again!

When Jinghao returned to Jingxiu Palace, Lizhi and Yangmei who accompanied her to the banquet also knelt down in front of her to congratulate her on her great joy.

"Get up, you don't think it's cold on the ground." The so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, although this time the promotion came a bit suddenly, and the title given to her by Kangxi was Zhen, but...

Well, there are no taboos, and all evils are avoided.

Although Jinghao thinks that there is no good end for the Concubine Zhen in history, but now that she is a Concubine Cheng in history, the result seems to be not so good, so maybe she is not so unlucky?

And apart from other things, Jinghao can also feel his love for her and the cherishment he has for her just because of the title Kangxi gave her.

Therefore, it is always a good thing for Jin to concubine Zhen, and Jinghao is naturally happy.

After laughing and letting Shen Momo and the others get up, she said quietly, "Look at your sweet lips, I know you are looking forward to rewarding money, don't worry, everyone has a share, and it will never fail."

In the past, I didn’t have any money in my pocket, so I didn’t talk about it. Since my purse swelled up, although Jinghao wanted to save pension money, she was quite generous to the people below. In addition, today happened to be the winter solstice. In the Qing Dynasty, the winter solstice was also considered It's a holiday that doesn't lose to the New Year.

So Jing opened her mouth, and scattered more than 200 taels of silver out.

After the servants received the generous rewards, they were naturally overjoyed. After all, who wouldn't like a generous master?

"It seems that we can be nurses for Elder Brother Yinyou, it's really our ancestors' incense." After everyone dispersed, the nurses also went back.

According to the rules, every little master in the palace will be assigned four nurses by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from birth, and Xiao Baokang is no exception here.

In order to allocate them reasonably, the four nurses took turns to keep vigil for Xiao Baokang in groups of two, and the two nurses who kept vigil for Xiao Baokang tonight were Zhao and Qian.

Although it is said to be doing night watch work, it is actually not hard work. After all, it is not a night watch alone, and you can take turns to rest.

And over time, you get used to it.

In the past at this time, one of Zhao Momo and Qian Momo always fell asleep first, but today both of them couldn't fall asleep, so they whispered gossip while guarding Xiao Baokang.

"Isn't that right, do you remember Mrs. Li? When she was chosen to be a nanny for Elder Brother Yinzuo, she was overwhelmed with complacency. People who didn't know thought that she was about to become famous, The result is good, in the blink of an eye, the concubine De has become a noble person." Zhao mama said with her lips twisted.

Of course, they are all slaves, so naturally they don't dare to dislike the little master's biological mother status, but who doesn't hope that the little master they serve can have a promising biological mother?

No matter how bad it is, having a promising adoptive mother is enough.

Don't you see that after they came to Jingxiu Palace to serve as nurses to Elder Brother Yinyou, this is the first time they have been rewarded with silver, and Concubine Xi... No, it should be called Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen He is also a big spender, and the sum of several rewards can cover their salary for two or three years.

Zhao Mama gloated and thought, Mrs. Li and the others can only get their salary honestly at the moment, right?

"So we can cherish our blessings and take good care of Brother Yinyou." Qian Momo said that the better the concubine Zhen is, the better they will be in taking care of Brother Yinyou, otherwise they would be ashamed to take Jane. The imperial concubine gave so much reward silver.

"It's natural." Mother Zhao said, "We are not people with a conscience."

Besides, now that Jing Hao has become Concubine Zhen, she is the highest-ranking person in the harem except Concubine Tong Jia.

"Sister, tell me, why did the emperor appoint that bitch Dai Jia as Concubine Zhen?" Concubine Tong Jia really couldn't figure out how the matter would develop to this point, obviously her purpose of bringing up this matter at the beginning was fundamental. Not this one.

Moreover, Noble Concubine Tong Jia had already prepared for the worst, that is, Kangxi would rather not give Concubine Xi any face, and change her title casually, without any apology to her.

That is to say, the worst result expected by Concubine Tong Jia is nothing more than her busy work tonight.

But who would have thought that the worst result would not be that she was working in vain, but that she would make wedding clothes for Jinghao?

Concubine Zhen?

The emperor actually made her a concubine Zhen?

Concubine Tong Jia couldn't believe it. Although the word Zhen was not as significant as the title of Concubine Chen, Emperor Taizong's favorite concubine, the word Zhen completely expressed Kangxi's intentions for Jing Hao.

Jane, treasure, and weight.

So in the eyes of the emperor, Dai Jiashi is his treasure, someone worthy of his attention, right?

Grandma Liu didn't want to talk anymore, she knew that her sudden ominous premonition was not without reason, maybe their master and concubine Zhen really hit each other, and their characters were not compatible.

And it's the kind of concubine Zhen who restrains their master, otherwise, every time their master wants to deal with her, the final result will either be shooting themselves in the foot, or losing his wife and losing his army.

Concubine Tong Jia didn't know what Mammy Liu was thinking, as soon as she thought of Kangxi's promotion of Feng Jing as Concubine Zhen in front of everyone, and the Empress Dowager didn't stop her, the raging anger of jealousy in her heart would be overwhelmed. is burning.

"Just that bitch Dai Jia, is she worthy of being a concubine? And she got such a good title?" Although Concubine Tong Jia said that her status is indeed very high, she has not even had a title since she entered the palace. nothing.

Although even without a title, she is still the one with the highest status in the harem, but after such a comparison with Jinghao, how can Noble Concubine Tong Jia not be jealous?

Besides, Noble Concubine Tong Jia didn't believe that the vaccinia vaccination method was proposed by Jinghao at all. She neither studied medicine, nor did her ancestors belong to the Xinglin family. How could she know that vaccinia vaccination can resist smallpox?

"I see that the emperor is also in a daze. In order to pamper a bitch like Jiashi, he would not hesitate to put gold on her face like this. I don't know..."

Concubine Tong Jia hadn't finished her words when she was interrupted by Madam Liu who had reacted: "Master, be careful with your words!"

Don't worry about what you think in your heart, how can you say such things with your mouth?

Although there are only two masters and servants in the palace now, the walls have ears. If this word gets out, can Guifei Tong Jia please?

Interrupted by Madam Liu like this, Noble Concubine Tong Jia couldn't continue talking, and it's not like she didn't suffer from the crime of coming out of her mouth, so she took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, what is the matter with this palace?" I don't believe that bitch Dai Jia can come up with such a good way to benefit the country and the people. Besides, since the emperor said that the vaccination technique is very good, then this method will have to be used on the elder brother and the others sooner or later. .”

"I don't believe that there is such a perfect method in the world, which can give people the ability to resist smallpox for life without any danger. Mother, if something goes wrong at that time, will Dai Jia's Bear the brunt of it?"

Looking at Concubine Tong Jia who was about to make trouble, Mammy Liu: "..."

It's better to say goodbye, she is afraid that if she messes up, Concubine Zhen will climb on top of her.
