Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Jinghao didn't let Lizhi and the others go to Chengqian Palace to take leave for her the next day, but got up early and was ready to clock in.

"After Baokang wakes up, tell him I'll be back soon." Although Jing Hao felt that there was no need to spoil the child so much, so as not to spoil the child so delicately, but before going out, she was worried that Xiao Baokang would wake up. I found that she was crying when she was not there, so I couldn't help reminding the nanny.

After the nanny answered, Jinghao went out, and when she arrived at Chengqian Palace, she found that almost all the concubines who came to pay her respects had arrived.

"I have seen the precious concubine, please greet the precious concubine."

As soon as Jing Hao arrived, some low-ranking concubines would not talk about it, and the fourth concubine had to get up and salute Jing Hao.

"Get up." Jing Hao sat down in her seat, and after a while Concubine Xian Gui came out.

It was another round of salutations, and when it was over, Concubine Xiangui turned her head to look at Jinghao and asked, "Looking at Concubine Zhengui's complexion, I guess she has rested already?"

"Concubine Lao Xian is concerned." Jinghao knew that the reason for Concubine Xian's question was that on the first day she came back, Lizhi followed Kangxi's instructions and came to Chengqian Palace to talk to Xian on the grounds that she was exhausted from traveling and traveling. The concubine is on leave.

"You are exhausted from traveling with the emperor, so I naturally have to take good care of you." Concubine Xiangui said, "After all, even the Empress Dowager praised you for your meritorious service and rewarded you with a wishful jade handle."

Jinghao listened, at first I thought Concubine Xian Gui was jealous, or felt uncomfortable, so I brought it up specifically, but who knew that Concubine Xian Gui's purpose was not at all.

She said, "But since the Empress Dowager has praised you, Precious Concubine, don't disappoint the Empress Dowager's praise, lest people say that you are a noble concubine who is not worthy of your name and is not worthy of your virtue."

"It seems that Concubine Xian has something to say about me again." Jinghao chuckled lightly, deliberately accentuated the word "again", and continued, "If that's the case, then you might as well just say it."

After all, Jing Hao didn't know where he had offended her again, and got in her eyes.

"Since the precious concubine said so, then I will be blunt." Xian Guifei said, "Since the precious concubine is exhausted and needs a good rest, then she shouldn't be so ignorant to pester the emperor."

"After all, the emperor is tired from the long journey, you should let him have a good rest. I know that you think you have served the precious concubine well. Otherwise, the emperor would not often go to your Jingxiu Palace."

"But in a special situation like this, you shouldn't be arrogant, precious concubine. After all, you are not the only one in the harem who can serve the emperor."

Concubine Xian was quite surprised when she heard this, not because she didn't hear what she was talking about, but because she heard it, that's why she was surprised why she said that.

"I don't understand what Concubine Xiangui said. This leg is on the emperor's body. If he doesn't come by himself, can I still drag him to Jingxiu Palace?" Jing Hao said, "Besides, I'm not the queen. Empress, is it possible that she can still take care of this mistress?"

As soon as Jing Hao finished speaking, Concubine Xian's expression became unsightly, not because she refuted her, but Concubine Xian felt that she was given connotation by Jing Hao.

Jing Hao is not the Empress Empress, could it be that she is?

Since it is not, isn't what Jinghao said just now no different from pointing her nose and saying that she is overstepping her?

As we all know, only the mistress needs to be virtuous and virtuous, and persuade her husband to share the rain and dew. As for the concubine, she only needs to wait to be touched.

So it's strange for Concubine Xian to be indifferent when she heard Jing Hao's words.

Concubine Xian frowned and looked at Jing Hao, as if earnestly said: "Now the position in the middle palace is empty, and you and this palace are the two highest-ranking people in the harem. , precious concubine, since you are now a noble concubine, you should set an example and set an example for the sisters below."

Jinghao opened her mouth, and when she was about to speak, she heard Concubine Xiangui say, "Originally, the purpose of our entering the palace was to spread branches and leaves for the emperor, and extend the heirs, but now, in the past two years, the palace has been There is no good news coming out, and after a long period of time, not to mention the harem, the previous court will also have opinions."

"Precious Concubine, I naturally understand how you treat the emperor, but we can't always occupy the emperor for our own selfishness."

"There are so many sisters in the palace who are also the emperor's concubines. Could it be that you have the heart to see them, who are about the same age as you, yet give up their favors before they are old, and sit in the smoked cage until dawn?"

"Even if you really have the heart, do you have the heart to keep the other heirs from seeing the emperor for a long time?"

Jinghao: "..."

Wow, I haven't seen you for a while, Tong Jia's ability is good.

In the past, when Concubine Xian wanted to trouble Jinghao, she would do it alone, so in the end it was Jinghao and Concubine Xian who were arguing, while the other concubines watched the fun.

But Concubine Xiangui has learned to be smart now, she obviously wanted to trouble Jinghao, but she pulled all the other concubines into her camp, and she still pulled them into her own camp.

Listen to what she just said, that is a person who understands righteousness and takes the overall situation into consideration.

After all, how jealous and narrow-minded Concubine Xian was in the past can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, but even a person like her can say such things. Yu took the initiative to admit that she was more jealous and narrow-minded than Concubine Xian Gui?

However, the person who is being favored now is Jinghao, not Concubine Xiangui, so when she said such words, she was speaking loudly and impartially, so she should try to replace the person who is being favored?It's amazing how she can do that.

Jinghao is not the only one who can see such a simple truth, but why does she say that Concubine Xiangui has learned to be smart?Even if a discerning person can see things at a glance, as long as they add their own interests, they can pretend that they don't see it.

"What Concubine Xiangui said is correct." The first person to go along with Concubine Xian was naturally the concubine Xi, she said, "This emperor is everyone's emperor, and the precious concubine is dominating the emperor every day, is it not true that you Don't you feel sorry for it?"

With Concubine Xi's agreement, the other concubines who were suddenly ready to move because of Concubine Xian's words were naturally not far behind, and then they sang along without saying a word.

After all, to be honest, after they enter the palace, unless they die in this life, they will almost live here for the rest of their lives.

Now that they have fallen out of favor in their youth, how can they continue with so many days and nights in the future?

Some concubines who are in high positions and their natal families are capable are better, at least even if they are not favored, they will not be bullied by the servants below.

But those concubines with low status and no ability from their natal family are different. It is fine to be neglected by the servants below, and sometimes even have their status and monthly regulations deducted by them.

So now that Concubine Xian Gui mentions this matter, it is equivalent to giving them a chance to compete for favor, which naturally makes people's hearts unstoppable.

The other concubines actually know that Jinghao is in favor now, and it seems unlikely that she will fall out of favor anytime soon, but they don't want much, they just think that they can have a chance to serve her bed occasionally, This can make them feel better, and if they are lucky, they can conceive a boy and a half girl, so they can be considered safe in the future.

……

"Haven't we only been away for two months? Why does it feel like Concubine Xian has drank a carload of six walnuts, and her IQ has skyrocketed so much?"

Jinghao, who came out of Chengqian Palace, felt very strange on the way back, not that she forgot that Concubine Xian actually has brains, but that Concubine Xian had never used such tricks before.

It can be said that it is a new trick, and it is quite useful. Didn’t you see that many concubines were on the side of the noble concubine just now?

Lizhi and the others have long been used to Jinghao popping out a sentence or two that they don't understand from time to time, and they didn't ask every sentence clearly, but just grasped the key points from her words.

Anyway, what the master said that they didn't understand was basically just complaints, not important.

"Master, do you want to know what the concubine Xian Gui has done in the past two months since we left the palace? Is this servant going to inquire for you?" Yang Mei looked at Jinghao. When Jinghao went to Mongolia before, she was also a member of the entourage. .

But even if she wasn't in the palace for two months, as long as Jing Hao wanted to know, Yang Mei thought, she would always find out.

"Go." Although Jing Hao didn't care much about Concubine Xian Gui, but now she came to her door for troubles, Jing Hao naturally knew that she knew herself and her enemy.

Li Zhi doesn't care about what Concubine Xian Gui did in the past two months, what she cares about is that she is so blatantly putting Jing Hao on the fire, isn't this going to trap her in injustice?

"Master, Concubine Xian is clearly saying this in public to force you to agree, so what should we do now?" Li Zhi asked Jing Hao.

"She not only wants to force me to agree, but also wants to step on me to make a name for myself." Jinghao said, "Think about it, if I don't agree, then I will definitely become the target of public criticism, but if I agree, then I also won't get a good reputation, because this matter was led by Concubine Xian, then other beneficiaries must be more grateful to Concubine Xian."

Hearing Jinghao's analysis, Lizhi and Yangmei almost frowned: "Isn't Concubine Xiangui too scheming?"

"Then master, don't you agree or not, and don't agree?"

"It's impossible to agree." Jing Hao said, "I know that Concubine Xian is digging a hole for me, but I still jump into it, isn't that stupid?"

"But in this way, wouldn't Concubine Xian have more reason to talk about your reputation?" Yang Mei said.

It is said that the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, there are benefits of not agreeing, but in this way, isn't their master giving Concubine Xian a chance to pour dirty water on herself?

"I understand what you mean." Jing Hao shook her head with a smile, "But do you think I'm the kind of person who cares so much about fame?"

Of course, everyone wants a good reputation. Who wants to frown when others mention themselves?But Jinghao will never promise Concubine Xiangui to push Kangxi out just because she wants a good reputation, and persuade him to share the rain and dew.

For nothing else, Jing Hao just felt that doing so was a little too disgusting.

If Kangxi is going to someone else's palace, then Jinghao has nothing to say, and she will just keep her feet on the ground and concentrate on saving her pension money, but she is absolutely impossible when Kangxi is clearly going to her Jingxiu Palace, but she Push him into someone else's palace.

If she really wanted to do this, she would not only disgust herself, but also ruin Kangxi's love for her.

He even had to worry about her being jealous when he gave gifts to others. He either gave her gifts in private, or pulled the empress dowager to cooperate with him. Kangxi treated her like this. Jing Hao is not a heartless person. No touch.

"Besides, your master, I think that I haven't fallen out of favor so quickly. If Concubine Xiangui really goes too far, you will stand by and watch indifferently when you are the emperor?" Jing Hao said with a smile.

It's not her bragging, she can walk sideways in the harem now without any problem.

︿(￣︶￣)︿

Li Zhi and Yang Mei felt relieved when they heard this, and said with a smile, "That's true, after all, we can see how well the Emperor treats you, Master."

So they really don't have to worry so much, because Lord Long Live will definitely not watch their master being bullied.

Concubine Xiang and the others who have the same idea, when paying their respects today, there were many people who agreed with Concubine Xian, but there were also Concubine Xiang and the others who did not respond at all.

There is no other reason, they are either sober enough to know that the possibility of Concubine Xian Gui doing this is unlikely to succeed; or they know Kangxi well and know that he is not the kind of person who would wrong themselves because of rules and regulations.

"Master, according to what you said, wouldn't Concubine Xian have to work for nothing this time?" Caiyun asked curiously, and she had to say that the word "again" was very spiritual.

"That's not necessarily true." Concubine Xiang smiled, "What do you think is Tong Jia's greatest wish?"

Caiyun and Caiyue said in unison: "Occupy the position of the lord of the middle palace."

"That's it." Concubine Xiang said, "The person who wants to be a queen can't just rely on nepotism. Think about Tong Jia's temperament back then, who is optimistic about her?"

"Master, do you mean that Concubine Xian is doing this to please herself?" Caiyue immediately understood what Concubine Xiang meant, "So even if the emperor doesn't like her in the end, she will actually Isn't it a disadvantage?"

"You're still smart, Caiyue." Concubine Xiang nodded and said, "It seems that Concubine Xiangui has found the right way for herself. She knows that competing with Concubine Guizheng to be jealous can neither win nor lose, so I decided to change it. way."

"If Concubine Xiangui really succeeds, will the Emperor make her the empress?" Caiyun was a little worried. The relationship between their master and Concubine Xian was normal, but later Concubine Xian's palace power was taken away by the emperor. After giving them masters, Concubine Xian also fell in love with their masters because of this.

Needless to say, she is in charge of the palace power with Concubine Xian now, she must be unhappy with their master.

If Concubine Xiangui really fulfilled her wish and became a queen, not only would they have to hand over the bit of palace power in the hands of their master, but they would also have to live in the hands of Concubine Xiangui in the future, how could they get anything good?

"If Tong Jia has no children, it's a bit uncertain." Concubine Xiang said, "But don't forget, she still has a fourth elder brother under her knees at the moment, just for the emperor's love for His Royal Highness , how could he be willing to cause His Royal Highness a trouble?"

Don't say that the fourth elder brother was not born to Concubine Xian, now Wu Ya's promise is considered useless, if Concubine Xian has always been childless, then what is the difference between the fourth elder brother raised under her knees and her own son?

Concubine Xiang knew very well that the reason why the emperor appointed her sister as the empress was on the one hand because the harem really needed a capable mistress, and on the other hand it was because he knew that her sister had been recruited and could no longer have her in this life. His own blood, that's why he chose to make her his queen.

So Concubine Xian wants to be a queen?

Concubine Xiang felt that either she was going to die someday, or that Kangxi hated the little prince one day, otherwise their harem might not have another mistress.

-

Not to mention whether Concubine Xian would bully Jinghao by using this trick, Kangxi felt that she was really being bullied anyway.

By whom?

Of course it was his eldest son Baokang.

On the first night after returning to Beijing, he wanted to sleep with them, and Kangxi Aizi agreed; on the second night, Xiao Baokang achieved his goal by playing smart, and Kangxi Aizi tolerated it.

But he still wants to sleep with them on the third night?

Kangxi, who hadn't been close to her for nearly ten days because she was worried that Jinghao would be too tired on the return journey: "..."

Suddenly I can't love this little boy anymore.

"Stinky boy, don't push yourself too hard." Taking advantage of Jing Hao's absence, Kangxi stared at Xiao Baokang expressionlessly, and "warned" Xiao Baokang without the slightest sense of shame, "tonight you You must go back to sleep in your own room, and your mother-in-law and I will not leave, and you will still be able to see us when you wake up tomorrow."

When Kangxi was talking, Xiao Baokang looked at him eagerly, and after he finished speaking, the little guy seemed to have heard his Ama's dislike for him, with a super aggrieved and sad look.

"Ama, Baokang will be good~"

Little Baokang stretched out his fleshy little hand towards Kangxi, as if he wanted to grab his clothes, but he was afraid that he would be unhappy and seemed a little timid.

Don't be soft-hearted, this little brat is used to pretending.

With a sullen face, Kangxi silently "advised" himself to harden his heart, otherwise, if he stumbled, he would be hated forever——

The puppy skin plaster was stuck on, but I couldn't even shake it off.

Kangxi said this to himself in the bottom of his heart, but his hands had their own thoughts. When he saw Xiao Baokang's pitiful appearance, Kangxi subconsciously reached out and hugged him.

Really lost to him.

While hugging Xiao Baokang, Kangxi thought to himself, he really deserves to be a quiet cub, even a little pretending makes people feel so soft.

"Stinky boy, you are just like your mother-in-law, you are right to eat me."

Xiao Baokang is really irritating when he is angry, but he is also very lovable when he is lovable, like now, when he rubbed his cheek with his chubby little face , Kangxi only felt that even if he was very angry, he should put it out.

It's really hard for people to harden their hearts against such a sweet kid.

So by pretending to be wronged, Xiao Baokang managed to get another chance to sleep with Erniang Ama.

When the little guy was lying between his parents, he couldn't help giggling, he turned his head to look at this, then at that, in such a small world on the bed, as far as Xiao Baokang could see, It is his whole world.

"Why are you smiling so happily?" Jing Hao looked down at Xiao Baokang, who was able to laugh out loud while lying down, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

No wonder it is said that children's smiles are the most healing. Jing Hao said that this is indeed true.

"Because I slept with Er Niang~" Xiao Baokang approached Jinghao, he moved his little nose, then bent his eyes and said, "Er Niang is fragrant."

"Does it smell good?" Jinghao reached out and touched Xiao Baokang's little hand, and then said, "Baokang is also fragrant now."

The little guy sniffed his hand: "Really~"

"Hahahaha..." Jinghao was about to be amused by Xiao Baokang's obviously Taiwanese accent.

Seeing this, Kangxi on the side was also amused by their mother and son, but when he woke up the next day, Kangxi couldn't laugh anymore.

Because when he was in a trance, he felt Xiao Baokang's little butt pressing against his chest. His sleeping position obviously put him in a "horizontal" sleep.

Before Kangxi stretched out his hand to face him, he suddenly felt a burst of heat in his chest.

Kangxi: "..."

When Kangxi realized what was going on, he also woke up all of a sudden.

this!Smelly!Small!son!Urine!he!body!superior!up!

Before he even opened his eyes, Kangxi's mood was about to start to turn bad.

It's not that he didn't know that children wet the bed when they were very young, but because he had no experience of sleeping with children, and because Xiao Baokang hadn't done such a thing two nights ago, Kangxi was suddenly He was so surprised and speechless when he pissed all over.

According to the memories of the ministers who went to court today, the face of the Lord Long Live was so dark when he went to court today, like the bottom of a pot, but we dare not ask, and we dare not say.

As the culprit, Xiao Baokang didn't have the guilt and guilt of peeing on his own father at all. Anyway, he is still a child and ignorant, so don't bother with him.

Do not care?

Kangxi thought to himself, it is impossible not to care about it, and he not only has to care about it, he also has to care about the new "hatred" and the old "hatred".

So that night, after Xiao Baokang was carried by the nanny to wash him for nothing, he found that his mother was missing.

"Where's my mother-in-law?"

"What about my older mother?"

"Why are you missing?"
