[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

In the Cining Palace.

Liang Jiugong and Aunt Su Ma stayed outside the door, and when they heard the dissatisfied voice of the Empress Dowager from inside, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the hall, Kangxi was drinking tea leisurely, in sharp contrast with the empress dowager with a cold face

.

"If Mama Huang refuses to agree, Concubine Shu will always be Concubine Shu, and I will never make her a noble concubine."

The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi with a straight face, her eyes slightly squinted, her tone was a little cold: "Xuan Ye, are you threatening Aijia?"

Kangxi put down the teacup in his hand, and said with an innocent face: "I am discussing with Huang Mama, how can it be a threat? Huang Mama can agree or not, isn't it?"

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Kangxi, and then mocked in a cold voice: "Xuan Ye, you really took great pains for the noble concubine."

Kangxi looked at the Empress Dowager, and sneered back unceremoniously: "I believed in you too much at the beginning, so you let Yin'er be drugged by you, making Yin'er infertile all her life."

Being so rudely attacked by Kangxi, the empress dowager's face turns green and white, which is very exciting.

Kangxi saw that the empress dowager's face was ugly, and there was a gleam of pleasure in his eyes, and he continued to say in a neutral tone: "Now that Yinzhen is old, he will get married and have children in two years. I don't believe that you will let the Queen Mother off Er and Yinzhen."

This sentence was said too bluntly and too sharply, so that the expression on the Empress Dowager's face froze.

Kangxi was holding a teacup in his hand, rubbed his fingers lightly on the mouth of the teacup, and his tone sounded very calm: "With your temperament, losing a great-grandson is not a big deal." He raised his eyes and looked at Tai Empress Dowager, "You were able to do something cruel to Yin'er before, making her infertile for the rest of her life. Naturally, you can continue to do so and kill Yin'er."

Being so unceremoniously accused by Kangxi, the Empress Dowager's face darkened, with cold anger in her eyes, "Xuan Ye, is this how you see Aijia?"

Kangxi said sharply: "Imperial Mama, it's what you did that forced me to look at you like this." Thinking of Concubine Tong Guifei being drugged by the Empress Dowager just after entering the palace, Kangxi's heart was filled with anger. Unable to restrain the surge on the ground. "Huang Mama, I don't want you to force me to do something unfilial."

Seeing that she was threatened by Kangxi, the Empress Dowager shouted angrily, "Xuan Ye, this is your attitude towards Aijia?!"

"Huang Mama, if you don't challenge my bottom line, I won't do anything..." Having said that, Kangxi paused, and then his words became very harsh, "However, if you are unfavorable to Yinzhen and Yin'er, I will Anything can be done, this is my threat!"

"You..." The Empress Dowager never expected that one day she would be treated so rudely and mercilessly by Kangxi.

Kangxi looked sharply at the empress dowager with an angry face, and his tone was cold and without any warmth: "Imperial mama, I also have a bottom line!" After speaking, he stood up and saluted the empress dowager. If not, Huang Mama should think about it carefully."

Liang Jiugong and Aunt Su Ma stood at the door, and they could naturally hear the conversation between Kangxi and the Empress Dowager in the hall.At this moment, the two of them lowered their heads, their hearts filled with horror.

Kangxi walked out of the hall, and Liang Jiugong hurriedly followed.

After Kangxi left the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was so angry that she grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground.

Aunt Su Ma stood aside, looking at the empress dowager who was burning with anger.

"He actually threatened Ai's family!" The empress dowager was not angry that her grandson, whom she had single-handedly taught, threatened her, but was angry that Kangxi dared to challenge her authority as the empress dowager. "The Ai family raised him for nothing!"

Aunt Su Ma hadn't seen the Empress Dowager so angry for a long time, and she was a little frightened by her.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her head throbbed. The pain caused her to sit down quickly and rubbed her painful temples.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had a headache again, Aunt Su Ma hurriedly walked behind her, reached out to rub her temples, and carefully persuaded: "The Empress Dowager calm down."

"Calm down?" The Empress Dowager sneered, "The emperor is going to die of anger."

"You are not in good health. The imperial doctor said that you should not get angry. You should calm down." Aunt Su Ma knew the empress dowager's heart knot, so no matter how she persuaded her, the empress dowager would still go her own way.

The Empress Dowager suddenly let out a long sigh, "Aijia never thought that Xuan Ye would threaten Aijia for Concubine Tong."

"Empress Dowager, you know that the emperor values ​​the imperial concubine and the Tong family, but you still..." At this point, Aunt Su Ma couldn't go on, so she could only say in another word, "You are challenging the emperor's bottom line! .”

"Aijia is not for his own good, or for the good of the Qing Dynasty."

"Empress Dowager, is this really the case?"

When the Empress Dowager heard what Aunt Su Ma said, she turned her head and looked at her coldly: "What did you say?"

Aunt Su Ma's scalp was numb from the empress dowager's eyes, and she couldn't help but panic and fear, but she bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down.

"Empress Dowager, if you continue to attack Concubine Tong Gui, the emperor will never let it go." After finishing speaking, she took a deep breath and added, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is no longer the little emperor who needs your teaching. The emperor is already the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If you continue to challenge the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will no longer care about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. You don't want to tear yourself apart with the emperor, do you?"

"The slave will serve you for the rest of your life. I don't want you to be rejected by the emperor in your later years, and I don't want you to have trouble with the emperor."

The Empress Dowager did not listen to La Aunt Su Ma's words, but said coldly, "La Aunt Su Ma, you talk too much."

Aunt Su Ma knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "I am a talkative slave, please punish the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager glanced coldly at La Aunt Su Ma who was kneeling on the ground, but said nothing.

Aunt Su Ma was not called out, so she could only continue to kneel on the ground.

The Empress Dowager was sitting on a chair, holding her forehead with her hands, with an uncertain expression.

Seeing the empress dowager's attitude, Aunt Su Ma knew that what she just said was in vain.In the past few years, the empress dowager has grown older and her actions have become more and more extreme.She couldn't just watch the empress dowager and the emperor quarrel.

If the Empress Dowager is going to kill Tong Guifei again this time, the emperor will never let the Empress Dowager go, and will definitely put the Empress Dowager under house arrest in the Palace of Compassion.If the emperor knew about that, the empress dowager might die early.

She has served the Empress Dowager all her life, and she cannot watch the Empress Dowager fall to the miserable state of being under house arrest and being ill.

Aunt Su Ma, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly made up her mind that if the Empress Dowager took action against Concubine Tong Gui, she would definitely stop her.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager seemed to think of Lagu Su Ma who was kneeling on the ground, and her tone was a little more relaxed than before: "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." After Lagu Su Ma stood up, she obediently stepped aside.

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Kangxi went to Jingren Palace.

Seeing Kangxi approaching with a cold face, Concubine Tong knew that he had failed to negotiate with the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, did the Empress Dowager not agree to your conditions?"

"No." Kangxi said expressionlessly.

Kangxi did not tell Concubine Tong what conditions he had proposed to the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Tong could probably guess that it should have something to do with her.As long as she is involved every time, the emperor and the empress dowager will not be able to agree.

"Your Majesty, the condition you put forward with the Empress Dowager is related to the concubine, right? The Empress Dowager is still unwilling to let the concubine go, right?" The more the Empress Dowager refused to let her go, then the thing she guessed Things are getting more real.

Kangxi reached out and pulled Tong Guifei to sit beside him, "Yin'er, don't worry, I will never let the Empress Dowager hurt you again this time."

"But, Your Majesty, you also know the methods of the Empress Dowager..." Concubine Tong said with a bitter face, "Back then, the Empress Dowager drugged my concubine without telling you... The concubine was worried that the Empress Dowager would find out about my concubine. After she becomes pregnant, the Empress Dowager will hide it from you again and let the concubine lose her child..."

Before she finished speaking, Kangxi covered her mouth.

"Don't worry, I will protect you and the baby in your womb." At this time, Kangxi had already made up his mind.The Empress Dowager is old, she should rest well, and should not worry about anything anymore.

Concubine Tong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is really afraid... really afraid... this concubine is really afraid... I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep this hard-won child in my stomach..." In her previous life, she did not keep her daughter .In this life, she will definitely keep her daughter and let her grow up healthy and safe.

Kangxi stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Tong Gui in his arms, raised his hand to pat her on the back, and gently comforted her: "Yin'er is not afraid, I will definitely protect you and the child, trust me."

Concubine Tong buried her face in Kangxi's neck, and said softly: "This concubine trusts the emperor."

Kangxi's eyes shrank and became dark and dark.

"I will never let the Empress Dowager mess around this time."

Hearing what Kangxi said, Concubine Tong knew what Kangxi was going to do to the Empress Dowager.Well, she added another fire.

"Your majesty, my concubine has something to say and I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"You said."

"Why is the Empress Dowager so afraid of the Tong family? Is it only because of her relatives?" Concubine Tong hesitated for a while, and continued, "Although the Tong family is your maternal ancestor's family, they did not raise the flag to join the Manchurian flag. The Tong family supports the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother can't compete with the crown prince and eldest elder brother, and the concubines don't understand why the empress dowager is so afraid of the Tong family?"

"The Empress Dowager would not want her relatives to be too powerful."

"Although the Tong family is deeply trusted by you, compared with the Niu Hulu family and the Guo Luoluo family, the Tong family is really nothing." Concubine Tong said seriously, "Only the father of the Tong family is on duty in front of you. Others hold important positions in the court, so it stands to reason that the Empress Dowager shouldn't be so afraid of the Tong family. The concubine thinks..." At this point, Concubine Tong did not continue.

Kangxi asked suspiciously: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, don't you find it strange?"

Kangxi was a little confused by Concubine Tong's nonsensical words: "What's so strange?"

"Don't you think the empress dowager's attitude towards the Tong family is strange?" Concubine Tong said, "It's better to say..."

"Why don't you say something?"

"It's better to say that the Empress Dowager hates the Tong family."

"Hate the Tong family?" Kangxi's face showed a trace of bewilderment, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Is it because of hatred for what the Empress Dowager did to the Tong family?"

Kangxi thought about it carefully, and found that it was really like what Tong Guifei said, but... "The Tong family did not do anything to anger Huang Mama, and Huang Mama has no reason to hate the Tong family."

"If so."

"have what?"

"The concubine is wondering if it's because my aunt didn't like the empress dowager when she was alive, or did she do something to anger the empress dowager when she was alive?" Concubine Tong said deliberately, "The empress dowager looks at you, Your Majesty. I didn't care about my aunt's face, but I put this account on the rest of the Tong family."

Concubine Tong's words made Kangxi fall into deep thought, and he was thinking back to his childhood.After all, it happened decades ago, and Kangxi was young at that time, so he didn't remember very clearly about his mother's life.However, ever since he was brought up and taught by Huang Mama, Huang Mama rarely let him meet Erniang.He clearly remembered Huang Mamo blaming Er Niang for her failures in her loving mother.

Seeing Kangxi's thoughtful expression, Concubine Tong continued to say: "The Empress Dowager doesn't like the Han people, and my aunt is a concubine of the Han people. Aunt should not please the Empress Dowager."

Hearing what Tong Guifei said, Kangxi felt that it made sense.He thought about it seriously, and found that when he was a child, Er Niang seemed to be a little bit disliked by Huang Mama.

"The concubine feels that the Empress Dowager will not target the Tong family for no reason. It must be that the Tong family has done something to anger her, but the Tong family does not have the guts to anger the Empress Dowager. Then there is only one possibility, and that is that the aunt is alive. Since then, the Empress Dowager has had objections to the Tong family." Tong Guifei gradually induced Kangxi to doubt the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Empress Xiao Kangzhang. "And the concubine thinks this opinion is very strong, otherwise the empress dowager would still be targeting the Tong family. Your majesty, something must have happened between the empress dowager and my aunt."

Kangxi heard Tong Guifei's words and felt that she was right.

"Your Majesty, you can ask Aunt Su Ma." Concubine Tong asked Kangxi to start with La Aunt Su Ma, "La Aunt Su Ma has been serving the Empress Dowager, so she must know what happened between the Empress Dowager and her aunt matter."

Concubine Tong successfully planted a seed of doubt in Kangxi's heart.Regarding Kangxi's biological mother, Kangxi will not sit idly by.

"Yin'er, you are right, I will ask Lagu Su Ma."

"If there is any misunderstanding between the Empress Dowager and my aunt, if it can be resolved, the Empress Dowager will not target the Tong family again." Concubine Tong sighed softly and said, "I hope that the Empress Dowager will have a large number of people. Can forgive our Tong family."

In Kangxi's impression, his biological mother was gentle and virtuous, and would never do anything to anger the Empress Dowager.Furthermore, his biological mother's status in the palace was very low at that time, and she didn't have the guts to provoke the empress dowager.The temperament of the Empress Dowager Ether should be that she unilaterally has an opinion on his mother.

"I will ask clearly."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Concubine Tong didn't talk about it anymore, but changed the subject to talk about the promotion of her concubine.

"Your Majesty, if the Empress Dowager refuses to allow Concubine Shu to be made a noble concubine, then she can only be promoted to nobles Wei, Dai, and Min as concubines first."

Kangxi nodded slightly: "For the time being, I will issue an order later."

After a while, the decree of Wei Guiren, Dai Guiren, and Min Guiren's promotion to concubines spread throughout the harem.

Seeing that only three nobles were promoted to concubines, De concubine.And she was not promoted, which puzzled her.She felt that she had given birth to three elder brothers for the emperor, and she should be promoted to concubine due to reason and reason.

For the promotion of the three nobles to concubines, the other concubines naturally envied and hated it.
