The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 112

The news that Nian Xilan Jin was conferred the title of Concubine Xi caused quite a stir in the palace.

Now Concubine Tong has lost her position and was demoted to Concubine Tong, confinement in Jingren Palace. The concubine position is already the highest status of a concubine in the harem.Although concubines Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine De, and Concubine Yi were appointed concubines earlier, people in the harem who are good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts have already seen the emperor's extraordinary love for her from Nianxi Lanjin conferring on Concubine Xi .

Although Kangxi practiced benevolent politics and governed the world, he was not very generous in the promotion of concubines in the harem.Even if the harem wants to advance to the throne by virtue of the merits of pregnancy, it must be done after giving birth to the heir safely.Just like Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, Concubine De, and Concubine Yi, they all climbed to the concubine position after giving birth to several princes, while Nian Xilan was directly promoted to concubine when she was pregnant and had not yet given birth. The situation is unprecedented.

What's more, compared with other concubines, Nian Xilan's title is exactly the same as Kangxi's year title. Although Kangxi didn't invent to rectify Nian Xilan's name, with this noble and special title, Nian Xilan's status as the favorite concubine has been fully demonstrated.Although she has just become a concubine not long ago, Nian Xilan, who is in the prime of her life, has faintly shown a posture higher than the other four concubines.

Among the many concubines in the harem, there are not many who are really happy for Nian Xilan. Although most of them try their best to pretend to be sisters on the surface and maintain the illusory scene of peace in the harem, but in their hearts they are It's secretly cursing that Nian Xi Lang will fall heavily when he ascends high, and maybe one day he will be rejected by Kangxi.

Apart from the concubines who are full of jealousy and have their own concerns, the fact that Nian Xilan was canonized as Concubine Xi by Kangxi also caused quite a stir among the princes.

Since Concubine Liang passed away, she had been seriously ill, and the eighth elder brother Yinhu, who still needed help to walk, couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and a little mocking color gradually appeared in her eyes that were very similar to Concubine Liang.

Yinhu wanted to draw a plum blossom to express his longing, but his body was weak and his pen strength was insufficient. After painting for a long time, he still felt that he could not paint the charm and grace of the plum blossom.

Yinhu looked at the unfinished picture of plum blossoms on the table, and couldn't help throwing the brush aside dejectedly. His dark eyes gradually showed a bit of unwillingness and hatred, his hands gradually clenched into fists, and his thin body trembled slightly. , the thin back looks extraordinarily lonely.

Yinzhen, who is affectionate and has many wives and concubines, has always been familiar with women's thoughts. Recently, she has been keenly aware that Concubine Yi is in a bad mood. No matter what she does, she is always in a bad mood. Accidentally sprained my ankle.

Therefore, Yinzhen, who felt sorry for Concubine Yi, ran to Zhongcui Palace every three days, bringing all kinds of jewelry that he had painstakingly collected recently to Concubine Yi to make her happy.

Concubine Yi saw her favorite jewels, but she didn't show a happy smile as usual, but said in disgust: "What's the use of giving my mother such precious jewels as a son?"

As Yifei said, she picked up a high-quality chicken oil topaz bracelet from the jewelry that Yinzhen brought, held it up to her eyes for a while, then curled her lips in disdain, and said lightly, "Although the price of this bracelet is It's expensive, but in Er Niang's eyes, it's still not as good-looking as the mutton fat white jade bracelet in Concubine Xi's hand."

"From this point of view, even if my son gave Er Niang a top-notch Zhengyang Green Jadeite Bracelet from the Ice Species, I'm afraid Er Niang would still find it disrespectful!" Yinzhen smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not my son. The jade bracelet I gave was not good, but in E Niang's eyes, I always felt that the person who gave the jade bracelet was wrong!"

Concubine Yi gave Yintang a gouged look, and said angrily, "You brat, now that you've grown up and your wings are stiff, you've learned to make fun of Erniang!"

As Yifei said, she unceremoniously stretched out her hand to pinch Yinzhen's ear, and twisted it half a circle, which immediately made Yinzhen yell, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Good mother, please forgive my son this time. Let's go! If Erniang doesn't show mercy, my son's poor ears will be lost!"

After all, she was her own flesh and blood, so how could Concubine Yi, who had always doted on Yinzhen, really be cruel?At this time, hearing Yinzhen's exaggerated cry, even though she knew that Yinzhen was exaggerating on purpose, Yifei still quickly let go of her fingers, and gently rubbed Yinzhen's ears worriedly, and said angrily: "You child, just Will make some bluffing expressions to make Er Niang happy! If you can spend half of your attention on Er Niang to coax your Huang Ama, how can you be just a little baby now, not to mention that you are not as good as your Yinqi, the fifth elder brother who was named Prince Heng, even your fourteenth younger brother Yinzhen passed you, and was directly named the county king by your emperor Ama."

Seeing Yinzhen's expression of evasion again, Concubine Yi hastily advised, "You have been smart and eager to learn since you were young, but you just put your mind on unimportant things. Since you can learn English and Latin of foreigners by yourself, you are the first to learn from other Manchus. Use Latin to transcribe Manchu, you are so interested in Western learning, but you have learned the Four Books and Five Classics in a mess, and now you can write English more fluently than Manchu and Chinese, no wonder you will be disliked by your emperor !"

With a bitter face, Yinzhen repeatedly begged for mercy: "My son came to the palace today to comfort Erniang! Why was Erniang not only not coaxed by her son, but brought the topic to her son? We had a good chat, why? I have taught my son a lesson again! The son is already such a grown-up man, how can he change his personality and preferences? Er Niang should stop worrying about her son! If Er Niang feels bored, her son will send a new one to the house tomorrow. How many days will my little elder brother play with my mother?"

Concubine Yi sighed faintly, "That's fine too. Bring the little elder brother here for a few days, and the Zhongcui Palace will be more lively."

Yinzhen looked at Concubine Yi's lonely expression, and narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, "This Concubine Xi is really so amazing, she was named Concubine Xi by Huang Ama in just a short time after entering the palace." Yinzhen touched his chin, his eyes slightly With a flash of light, "Could it be that Concubine Xi is really so good that she can't even find the slightest mistake?"

Concubine Yi sneered, shook her head and sighed: "People are not sages, who can be infallible? It is not difficult to find Concubine Xi's faults, but it is very difficult to make the emperor angry because of Concubine Xi's faults! You don't know you What about Huang Ama's temper, if she takes a liking to someone, she only thinks that person is very good. Now in the eyes of the emperor, all the benefits of Concubine Xi are full of eyes, and even Concubine Xi feels so cute when she is jealous , how could you easily blame Concubine Xi?"
