The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 96

Li Dequan's words were polite, and the queen would not offend Li Dequan. What's more, it's the emperor's will.

The queen greeted her with a smile. She did not lose face or courtesy, "Please also convey it to Eunuch Li."

Li Dequan also smiled and said: "Hey! What the emperor means is that Bai's mind is vicious and scorpion-hearted. Such a scorpion-hearted person does not need to enter the concubine's mausoleum, and he is not worthy of the title of concubine."

It’s like this in the palace, hello, me, hello everyone! Li Dequan said politely, "The Emperor's wishes and the subsequent handling of Bai's death are yours, the Queen."

The queen's expression remained unchanged. She knew the emperor too well. He was a person whom she loved to live and hated to die. You can see it just by looking at Queen Xiaokangzhang.

However... the queen didn't think the emperor could remember Concubine Bai.

The emperor could remember Concubine Bai because of Concubine Nala, but the Queen couldn't think of anything else.

But this is obviously not the time to ask or think about this. Is Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, still here?

Therefore, the queen agreed and said: "Please ask Eunuch Li to report back to the emperor and say that I know about it and will handle it well."

Harmony between the emperor and the queen is more conducive to the establishment of the queen's prestige in the harem. Therefore, even if there is something going on here, the Queen must treat it as if it is nothing.

The queen then said tactfully: "The matter of Concubine Bai is my fault. As the queen, I failed to restrain the concubines in the harem, causing Bai to commit such a big mistake. I feel guilty. Looking back, I will return the favor." Please give Eunuch Li and the Emperor a reply."

The queen said ashamed.

"Ouch!" Li Dequan said hurriedly: "Master, please don't say that. Your Majesty understands you best. For you, I am satisfied with you a thousand times or ten thousand times. It's just the Emperor's thoughts and temperament that are most important to you." I don’t like people as vicious as Bai.”

How dare Li Dequan fail to give the Empress the Empress face? Even the Emperor himself always protects the Empress Empress's face? Li Dequan understood where his foundation lay, and he naturally wanted to agree with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are the one who can best understand the Emperor's thoughts. I didn't say anything more, probably because, after the servant conveyed his will, Master, you should have understood what the Emperor meant." Li Dequan said with a smile. Don't be afraid to put a high hat on the queen, this is what the emperor means.

"If this slave really dares to convey your message to the master, the emperor will suspect that the slave is not doing his job well, and he will have to reward the slave with a few big blows!" Li Dequan was not afraid of adding more charges to his head.

"I understand your Majesty's intention. I would like to thank Eunuch Li for leaving this time," the Queen said.

The queen had no intention of relegating herself to the dust, let alone really offending Li Dequan to death, so she said quickly.

"Hey!" Li Dequan was relieved, and he quickly responded: "Master, your wife is busy. I will go back now. Where are the Emperor and Concubine Niu Hulu riding and shooting in the archery pavilion? I have to get there early, slave. Go back and serve."

There are many empresses in the harem, but there will only be one master. Li Dequan, the queen of the Qing Dynasty, always understood Kangxi's intentions and understood Kangxi's satisfaction with the queen. Li Dequan changed his title to show that Kangxi and Li Dequan personally valued and respected the queen.

Speaking of Concubine Niu Hulu, the queen smiled and said: "I remember that Concubine Niu Hulu has always been outstanding in cavalry and archery. She will serve the emperor well."

The Queen had already known that Concubine Niu Hulu was accompanying her today. The palace's favor, so many pairs of eyes staring at it? Everyone who is accompanying the driver knows everything that needs to be known.

As a queen, the queen must not only not be jealous, but also show generosity. Even though the Queen never wanted to completely trample Concubine Niu Hulu. Because she is a queen.

"The master's words are reasonable," Li Dequan also praised: "The emperor also said eloquently that Niu Hulu, the concubine's riding and shooting skills are indeed the best in the palace, so the emperor likes to call Niu Hulu when he is riding and shooting. The concubine will accompany you."

In terms of cavalry and archery, even the Queen's cavalry and archery were far inferior to that of Concubine Niu Hulu. Therefore, the Empress must be gentle, virtuous, and considerate. Concubine Niu Hulu was even more generous.

Concubine Niu Hulu was favored because she was really outstanding. Whether on horseback or elsewhere, the Niu Hulu clan has indeed put a lot of effort into cultivating them. Or put it another way, if the timing hadn't been bad and the traitor Oboi hadn't hindered her, she would have been one of the best candidates for the queen.

She is a warrior who dares to compete with the Mongolian Horqin princess for the throne of queen. The ancient Manchu nobles spent a lot of resources to cultivate her, and it was this ultimate goal that Concubine Niu Hulu was fighting for.

But then something went wrong. The traitor Obai used the power to gain power and became a cancer for the country, which must be eradicated. Concubine Niu Hulu, who had contact with the traitor Obai, was no longer suitable for the position of queen.

"Concubine Niu Hulu's riding and shooting skills, I am willing to be inferior to them." The queen praised generously and virtuously. She always did a good job on the surface. The concubine was harmonious, gentle, virtuous, and considerate. "Fortunately, I have her to serve me." .”

The queen understood that the emperor wanted to give Concubine Niu Hulu face, but the queen also knew that the emperor did favor Concubine Niu Hulu. The emperor may be wary of Concubine Niu Hulu, but this does not prevent him from doting on her!

This is not a contradiction. It's never a paradox.

"Eunuch Li, please go back and serve! I know that the emperor has always been used to serving my father-in-law. I don't want to keep my father-in-law anymore. I am worried that other emperors will not use him smoothly and cannot serve the emperor well. I will not keep my father-in-law to drink tea." "Yes," the queen said with a smile: "One day, I will send you some tea leaves to drink with Eunuch Li!"

"Master, the tea here is here, and the slaves are short of tea." Li Dequan said: "The emperor is always thinking about the master and the second elder brother. The slaves are waiting around, and there are times when the tea is missing."

This was also one of the important reasons why Li Dequan greeted the queen with a smile. After all, the emperor and the queen were harmonious. If he dared to be disrespectful, the emperor would tell him to die first.

The smile on the queen's face was even more genuine. The emperor was thinking about her and his second elder brother. Nothing could make her happier than such truth.

"Slave, please retire." After finishing his words and conveying the emperor's meaning, Li Dequan bowed and resigned.

"Eunuch Li, go slowly," the queen also said. She also left no one behind.

Ding Ruzhong sent the person back.

Cui Lingqin also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't feel ignored. This is clearly a matter between the emperor and the empress. Why is he meddling in it? It would be better to ignore him!

The queen also probably understood that this was not the first case for Bai. Only this time, the concubine who entered the palace had not yet experienced the rules of the palace, and had not yet established the rules of the palace. There is nothing more fearful than a living example.

The emperor is trying to scare the monkeys! Tell the palace to calm down.

Otherwise, the queen can best understand what the emperor means? However, the Queen still wants to think about how many reasons there are for the Hadanara clan.
