Qing Chuan's confession of fate

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Xiao Zhuang is paying respects to the Buddha, beads made of refined green agate are rolling on his fingertips, his eyes are tightly closed and his mouth is chanting.The door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open with a creak, Su Mala frowned and just wanted to reprimand him, but Liang Jiugong waited for Kangxi to enter the room.

"Huang..." Just about to salute, Kangxi raised his hand to stop him.

He waved his hand to signal Liang Jiugong and Su Mala to go out.Then Kangxi walked lightly to Xiaozhuang's side, watching Xiaozhuang concentrate on reciting scriptures, it seemed that he was not disturbed, and he didn't make a sound.So he knelt down on the futon beside him in a dignified manner, and bowed to the Buddha who was surrounded by cigarettes.

"The emperor is here." Xiaozhuang's eyes were still closed, and the beads in his hand did not stop.

"Yes, the grandson came here to pay his respects to the imperial grandmother, but did he disturb the imperial grandmother's worship?"

"It's Aijia who is restless and can't blame the emperor. Aijia heard that you have dealt with the Guo Luoluo sisters a few days ago?"

"The Guo Luoluo sisters have bad intentions, and the grandson only punishes them slightly, so as not to imitate the crowd in the harem. Don't worry, the grandma, the grandson has his own measure."

"Of course you don't worry about Aijia. I'm afraid Aijia will be taken advantage of by someone with a heart. Your Majesty should be more careful." In Xiaozhuang's heart, he has always had a grudge against Yayue, as long as it is related to her, he will always be careful.Although I haven't seen this incident with my own eyes, it must be more than that simple.

Kangxi naturally heard the meaning of these words, but frowned and did not refute.If Kangxi had a conflict with Xiaozhuang for the sake of Yayue, then not only the harem concubines, but even Xiaozhuang would not be able to accommodate her in this palace.

"Grandson knows, thank you, Grandmother, for reminding me."

Xiaozhuang nodded in satisfaction, suddenly stopped the prayer beads in his hand, opened his eyes and said: "The Ai family has one more thing to discuss with the emperor. The Ai family thinks that the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. If it is auspicious, it is not as good as after the next year." Just take the girl from the Tong family into the palace."

Earlier Xiaozhuang mentioned that the daughter of the Tong family should be made a concubine, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. I'm afraid that Xiaozhuang couldn't wait to let the Tong family enter the palace so as to suppress Yayue's limelight. It would be best for Kangxi to treat Yayue no longer interested.I still don't know what kind of person Tong is. If she is a scheming person with Xiaozhuang's help, I am afraid that Yayue will not have a good life in the future.

Seeing Kangxi's resistance, Xiaozhuang raised his voice and said: "The emperor is the king of a country, and he should put the affairs of the previous court first. Don't lose the hearts of courtiers because of a woman."

Since the death of Kangxi's mother, Xiaokangzhang Empress Tong, there have been no Tong family daughters in the harem. One is that the Tong family has no women of the right age to marry, and the other is to prevent the Tong family from being too powerful and threatening the government.

When Kangxi came to the throne, the Tong family immediately became the hottest royal relatives.Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were reused as Kangxi's uncles, and all three generations of the Tong family were posthumously titled first-class dukes.The Tong family can be regarded as the first Manchurian family to prosper due to the status of foreign relatives since the Qing Dynasty.

Such a status directly threatened the big families such as Niu Hulu and Hesheli, and several forces have always restricted each other.But now that there is a benevolent and filial queen in Hesheli, Niu Gulu's status is now regarded as the deputy queen, and the power of the two families has a tendency to faintly surpass Tong's.For a long time, I was afraid that it would cause the dissatisfaction of the Tong family and shake the foundation of the country.

Part of Xiaozhuang's move was because he wanted to alienate Kangxi from Yayue, but the most important thing was to balance the situation in the previous dynasty.In terms of political strategy, Xiaozhuang's talent is beyond doubt.

He was taught and brought up by Xiaozhuang since he was a child, and Kangxi also knew that Xiaozhuang always put the big things first and would not make decisions lightly.It is a foregone conclusion that it will happen sooner or later. Although the emperor has great power, sometimes the responsibility that needs to be borne is also great.

"This matter has troubled Grandmother Lao a lot. I will issue an edict tomorrow and order the ceremony officer to choose a good day."

"The girl from the Tong family, Aijia, remembers that her boudoir name is Yuejian, so she is also your cousin. You have met each other when you were young, so you are not unfamiliar." Only then did Xiaozhuang smile, "The Aijia How about just begging the emperor for her? After all, she is the daughter of the Tong family, why not make her a nobleman."

According to the power of the Tong family, it really can't be too shabby, "Then follow the emperor's grandmother's wishes. I won't disturb the emperor's grandmother to worship Buddha, and I will leave first."

Xiaozhuang nodded, closed his eyes again and began to recite the scriptures attentively.Kangxi retreated respectfully, and then drove back to Qianqing Palace.

"Liang Jiugong, ask the Ministry of Rites to draw up an imperial decree after returning home, ennobling Tong Yuejian, the daughter of Duke Cheng'en Tong Guowei, as a noble person, and she will enter the palace after the next year and live in Chengqian Palace." Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong lukewarmly. Served by the eunuch, he boarded the chariot.

"The slave obeys the order."

Along the way, Kangxi was expressionless, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

According to the rules, the day was chosen, and the little eunuch in the palace went to Tong's house to pass the decree. "Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Tong Yuejian, the daughter of Chengen Gong Tong Guowei, is quiet and gentle, beautiful and light, elegant and quiet, gentle and prudent, gentle and Jiawei, deeply comforting my heart. The book will be canonized as a nobleman and given a residence. Chengqian Palace. It is specially approved to enter the palace after the next year. I respect you!" Tong Guowei was the first, followed by Tong Yuejian, and the others knelt behind them to receive the order according to their status.

"The concubine accepts the edict. Thank you Lord Long En!" Tong Yuejian stood up and took the imperial edict from the little eunuch, and then Tong Guowei led the little eunuch to the hall.

Tong Guowei took out an ingot of silver from his cuff and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, please have a cup of hot tea before leaving, and please take care of my little girl in the future."

The eunuch accepted the money without a trace, and bowed to Tong Guowei: "Master Tong is joking, I am ashamed to be a slave, it is Tong Guiren who is blessed to be favored by the emperor. The slave must look at the noble master from now on. From now on, the slave must be favored constantly. Congratulations, slave." Master Tong congratulates the noble master. There is still something to do in the slave palace, so don't delay the noble master, and please make preparations earlier so that you can enter the palace on time."

"Eunuch is good to go, housekeeper, see off Eunuch."

After seeing off the team that came to pass the decree, Tong Guowei let Tong Yuejian sit on the head seat, led the family to kneel down together and said, "Greetings to Tong Guiren! May the nobleman be blessed and safe!"

"Ama, get up quickly!" Although Yue Jian knew that this was the rule, but asking her biological parents to kneel and salute her was against filial piety, so she hurriedly got up and returned the half salute.

Tong Guowei stood up, looked at Yuejian and said: "Now that you are a noble person, I think there will not be many opportunities for our father and daughter to meet in the future. You have just entered the palace, so you must not show your edge too much. You should deal more with the empress dowager." , this is good for you and harmless to you. Besides, Ama heard that there is a Wu Chang in the harem who is very favored. Although you are a noble person and she is always there, you must be careful." After all, it is the daughter who was raised since childhood. As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and he didn't know when he would see him again. Even though Tong Guowei was a man, he was a little emotional.

"Ama won't say more, you can go back to the room first. Lianxiang, help the noble master back to the room to rest."

Thinking that she might never see Ama Erniang again in the future, Yuejian felt sad for a while, her eyes were clouded with tears.But there was a bit of joy in the sadness, and finally I could see that man again.
