Qingxi Palace Crossing Jingfenghua

Chapter 170

The night took away the heat of the day, leaving the coolness of the morning breeze.

Today is not a big court, and Kangxi doesn't have to get up early.

In Jingren Palace, Xiu Yu was waiting for Kangxi to wash and change his clothes for breakfast. The table was not full of dishes like other concubines' palaces. There were only four or five large plates, two small plates and two bowls on the mahogany table.

Xiu Yu followed Kangxi out of the room and Kangxi Ci sat down. Liang Jiugong at the other end had already filled the porridge and handed it to Xiu Yu. Xiu Yu took the jade bowl and gently placed it in front of Kangxi.

"Long live God, try this lotus-flavored pearl porridge. It is made with the newly harvested green rice in Huangzhuang this year and the dew on the lotus leaves harvested in the morning. It has the effect of clearing the throat and moisturizing the throat. Eating here is the best."

"Lotus-flavored pearl porridge does look like it, so let me try it." Picking up the white jade bowl, he looked at the clear blue porridge soup in the bowl, and the rice grains looked like pearls sprinkled in the jasper. "You sit too, just let the servants serve you."

"Thank you Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord try this side dish, this is made by my concubine himself, Long Live Lord taste it delicious." Xiu Yu put some appetizers such as translucent green melon sticks and shredded radish on the table in front of Kangxi In a small dish.

The lotus for making porridge is what she asked Yunkui to take the palace servants to collect from the lotus pond in the imperial garden every morning at dawn. She has the spiritual power to go to the impurities. Containing the purple air of heaven and earth has an excellent effect of rejuvenating and gathering luck, both for people and monks.Originally, she also wanted to add Lingquan, but because the child was too weak, she didn't add it because she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the impact of Lingquan.

And these small dishes are made from the vegetables produced in her space. They are delicious, and usually only she and her four children have to eat, and the others even Yuntang and others have not had to taste them.Last night, he even forgot to tell Yunkui to prepare something else. It was really cheap for Kangxi.I just hope that this guy doesn't take too much care, otherwise the little lotus she has saved will be stretched.

Looking at the clear and clean meal, Kangxi felt an appetite. After taking a sip, it was really refreshing. After swallowing it, the warmth in his stomach immediately felt refreshed, and he ate a few spoonfuls before stopping. "This porridge is good. , fragrant and refreshing, thick but not greasy. This side dish is also refreshing, Yuer has a heart!"

"Long Live Lord, it's good to eat delicious food."

The porridge has been cold for a long time, and it is neither cold nor hot, just right.After taking it into the body, there is a sudden feeling that physical and mental exhaustion has disappeared, refreshed and comfortable; this kind of feeling makes Kangxi, who usually eats in quantity, eat a small bowl without realizing it, and wants to eat again , Xindongkou has already told Liang Jiugong to serve another bowl, "Here is another bowl!"

"Ah," Liang Jiugong, who was serving Emperor Yi, apparently did not expect that Kangxi would ask for a second bowl, and stared at the jade bowl that Kangxi handed over in a daze for a long time without recovering.

"What are you in a daze for? I'm calling you." Kangxi frowned slightly when this slave dared to lose his mind in front of him.

"Damn the servant, the servant will come here." Liang Jiugong, who had recovered from Kangxi's hum, happened to meet Kangxi's dissatisfied eyes, and took the jade bowl to Kangxi calmly and calmly.

Kangxi ate a bowl of porridge again, and even most of the delicious side dishes on the table were seen in his mouth, and he didn't pay attention to the emperor's rule of only using three chopsticks for each meal.Fortunately, only Liang Jiugong and Yuntang were waiting in the room.The others were sent away by Xiu Yu.

"This porridge and side dishes are good. I will prepare some and send them to the Qianqing Palace." Kangxi put down his chopsticks after eating seven minutes full. This is his habit but a rule. From this, it can be seen that he is a self-controlled man. Very strong emperor.

After serving Kangxi after breakfast, he personally waited on him to wash his mouth and hands, arranged his court clothes and crown, and personally sent Kangxi out of Jingren Palace to go to the dragon chariot.

"The concubine sends the Lord Long Live!"

After watching Kangxi's dragon chariot disappear, Xiu Yu got up. Looking at Kangxi's background, the gentleness on Xiu Yu's face instantly became indifferent.

The scene in Qianqing Palace yesterday came back to mind, Kangxi wanted her and the imperial concubine, no, he wanted her, Concubine Wen and the imperial concubine to get involved with each other, to be precise, he wanted her and Concubine Wen to restrain the imperial concubine.

In the previous dynasty, the Hesheli family and the Tong Jia family held great power, and the Nala family was reused by Kangxi, forming a tripartite confrontation.Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong of the harem entered the palace together, and they were rivals from the moment they entered the palace, so naturally they restrained each other.

The Tong Jia family rose because it was Kangxi's mother's family, especially after Tong Jia's promotion to the imperial concubine, the Tong Jia family's power reached a peak.Coupled with the aggressive behavior of the Tong family coming in, this aroused Kangxi's fear.Kangxi favored his mother's family because he hoped that the mother's family would prosper but he did not want the power of the mother's family to threaten his rights and interests, so checks and balances were needed.

And the only ones in the harem who can restrain the imperial concubine are her and Concubine Wen; after Niu Hulu's self-restraint Bilong died in the previous dynasty, his power began to decline, and the harem was also weakened due to the subsequent collapse of the world. Concubine Wen only conferred the title of concubine, so whether in the former dynasty or the harem, the Niu Hulu family is as big as before.Concubine Wen can no longer restrain the imperial concubine by herself, so she is needed.

Her natal Guo Luoluo family is a surname in the Eight Banners. Although the official position in the court is not high, there are many officials in the court, and in the harem, both sisters are in high positions. It can be said that the Yi concubine is one who is both prosperous and one who suffers, and should be one.

So she represented both herself and Yipin, and also represented the Guo Luoluo family.Niu Hulu's family and Guo Luoluo's family are enough to contain Tong Jia's family.

In this way, both the former court and the harem have reached the balance that Kangxi wanted!

So she became a pawn in Kangxi's hands, Xiu Yu shook her head and sneered, which of the high-ranking concubines in the harem was not a pawn in Kangxi's hands.In the harem, perhaps only useful chess pieces can be promoted to high positions, and only useful chess pieces can survive.Since everyone else is also a pawn, why should she care so much about it? It's better to be an obedient pawn, even on the surface.

After figuring it out, the unhappiness in my heart disappeared, and I went back to the main hall to adjust my makeup before going out to Chengqian Palace to pay my respects.

Xiu Yu sat in the main hall of Chengqian Palace and listened to the concubines who came and went with each other, because she accompanied her and served her bed yesterday, so many concubines spoke harsh words to her.However, Xiu Yu didn't care about these innocuous provocations at all, and she didn't care about her current status and couldn't do anything to her.

But what surprised her was that the imperial concubine could still sit there with a dignified and natural face today, she could hear clearly what she said to Kangxi yesterday, and Kangxi severely reprimanded the imperial concubine.She 'saw' with her own eyes that she was pale and weeping bitterly, begging Kangxi for forgiveness, and recovered within one night. The imperial concubine really deserves to be an imperial concubine, she is really strong and thick-skinned, and can withstand blows.

Thinking about the conversation between the two, even though she had peeped at Mizhe before and knew that the Wuya family of the Tong family was doing it, she never thought that the Tong family would be so ruthless that they would remove all the powers of the Wuya family from the imperial court and internal government affairs. He was dismissed, but it was precisely because his actions were too aggressive that he was warned by Kangxi.

Thinking that Wu Yashi was almost taken over by Xiu Yu, he was in a good mood. As expected, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is the happiest thing.The imperial concubine really lived up to her expectations and attacked Wu Yashi, the effect was not bad.Hmph, Wu Yashi, even if I can't kill you, I still want to hurt your muscles and freeze your bones, and slowly grind you to death.

She has carefully arranged for this game for a long time. Those palace maids and eunuchs who spread the word in the palace that the imperial concubine is not as good as the virtuous people, and are played by the virtuous people, are all made by her to get the words to their ears. middle.

Sure enough, those words finally reached the ears of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine finally couldn't bear to attack Wu Yashi.It's just that the reason why the virtuous nobles plundered the imperial concubine's phoenix and fortune has not yet been found out.

But as for now, noble people can't take away the phoenix spirit of the imperial concubine, so that's great.

What also makes Xiu Yu strange is that yesterday she clearly felt the eyes of the imperial concubine who was so jealous that she wanted to eat her, but today the imperial concubine did not stab her with words, nor provoked people to besiege her, and even smiled so shallowly No matter how you look at it, she doesn't feel like the character of an imperial concubine.

Forget it, ignore her.Xiu Yu didn't think much, just waited to go back to the palace to see if there was any new news from outside the palace.

I don't know if the virtuous person has got the news, Xiu Yu looked sideways at the virtuous person in the noble seat, and saw that she was smiling and chatting with other noble people, poor baby, I'm afraid I don't know yet.Now she really wants to know what the noble man will do when he finds out, or how to take revenge. She really wants to see this woman's endless tricks.Xiu Yu withdrew her gaze, and at this moment the noble man suddenly turned his head and looked forward, as if he was looking for something.

When it was almost time to leave, Xiu Yu was about to get up when the imperial concubine called Xiu Yu, "Sister Jingfei."

All the concubines and their eyes are on her, they are gloating!It seems that the concubines in the harem know the imperial concubine very well.

"My concubine is here."

"Among all the sisters in the harem, sister Concubine Jing's handwriting is the best. The Empress Dowager also knows about this." This method is nothing new.

"No, I heard that Concubine Jing practiced calligraphy every day. If she worked so hard, she might not be as talented as Concubine Jing." Concubine Rong said with a hidden giggle, mocking Xiu Yu's ambition.

"My sister is just passing the time, but I heard that the third elder brother of Concubine Rong's sister is extremely praised by the tutor in the study, and Xiao Xiaonian is very good at reading, he can be called the number one scholar, even inferior to His Royal Highness. My sister only I hope that my younger sister's fourth elder brother will be able to have one-tenth of the third elder brother in the future."

Hearing Xiuyu praise the third elder brother Concubine Rong, she was very happy, but her face changed when she heard that the prince was not as good as the third elder brother Concubine Rong.

"His Royal Highness was personally taught by the Long Live Lord. How can the true biography of the Long Live Lord be achieved by the third elder brother of the Palace? My sister is absurd!"

Everyone knew the crown prince's position in Kangxi's heart, and no one dared to match it.

"Okay, let the two younger sisters talk about this later, I still have something important to discuss."

"Yes, empress and imperial concubine!" The two bowed.

"It's coming to the Ghost Festival soon. The Empress Dowager ordered the sisters in the harem to copy a hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra. Later, I heard that Concubine Jing's younger sister had the best handwriting, so she told her to copy the hundred scriptures. This task is my responsibility. Leave it to Concubine Jing, sister Concubine Jing must not disappoint the Empress Dowager's appreciation."

"It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to copy scriptures for the Empress Dowager."

"It's the best, my sister will burn incense and bathe in Jingren Palace this month, and copy scriptures sincerely."

"Chen and concubine lead the order."

The other concubines were all gloating about Xiuyu, and at the same time they were very excited.Copying scriptures for a month means not being able to attend bedtime, so five or six days will be free in this month, and the concubines are all thinking about how to get a share of the five or six days.

But Xiu Yu didn't care, she was worried about how to avoid the imperial concubine, and the opportunity came to her, so that she could at least breathe slowly and think of a way.

After returning from Chengqian Palace to Jingren Palace, it was at lunch time that Xiu Yu remembered that Kangxi had ordered her to deliver lotus pearl porridge, so she ordered Yunkui to continue to take the palace servants to the imperial garden to gather more lotus.But she didn't expect that such a trivial matter would be followed by someone.
