Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 38

Just after saying these words, Concubine Rong couldn't help but feel smug in her heart.The emperor and the empress dowager definitely don't like women who strive for fame and fortune. In their eyes, these concubines are tools for carrying on the family line. As long as they are well-behaved and obedient, they will be satisfied.Now that she said that, she could show that she was different from those women whose eyes were only on power, and made the grandparent and grandson feel that Concubine Rong was really a careless little girl.

It was thanks to the timely interruption of the emperor, who gave her this opportunity to show herself, and saved her from being in a dilemma between her child and power.

But what Concubine Rong didn't expect was that Xiao Zhuang and the emperor had already seen her hesitation, especially Xiao Zhuang, who became more and more disdainful to Concubine Rong.If you really value children, why didn't you refuse early, and wait until this point before pretending to be generous?

Concubine Rong didn't realize that she made a big mistake. In order to highlight her dislike of fame and fortune, she blinked her eyes and said, "Actually, why should the emperor go far away? Chengrui will be taken care of by his concubine, and the imperial concubine Zhao will take care of it. "This is a very generous statement, but it is unavoidable to bring a touch of charity and pride.

Rong Huang didn't feel that Concubine Rong's words were so offensive, she just felt very cold, this Concubine Rong lived to die during the Yongzheng period in her previous life, now she is an old lady in her 70s, right?Is she acting naive to be disgusting?
Thinking that this living body contained the soul of a dying old lady, Rong Huang couldn't help but feel nauseous.What's even more disgusting is that Kangxi also gave birth to a child with her... I don't know if Kangxi would be so disgusted as to hack her to death after discovering the real background of this Concubine Rong?
It's worth looking forward to.

Poor Concubine Rong is really a no-brainer, her previous life in the harem was wasted.She may not know that she has fallen into the trap set by the empress dowager and the emperor!
The grandfather and grandson purposely brought out Concubine Rong first, and put a high hat on her first, making her feel that the empress dowager and the emperor value her in their hearts.Then, I will tell you some objective disadvantages of Concubine Rong, so that Concubine Rong can retreat in spite of the difficulties.In this way, Concubine Rong's dissatisfaction with Rong Huang's power was avoided, and Concubine Rong was more devoted to the royal family, feeling that she was trusted by the grandfather and grandson.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, she was just played around by others.

She didn't understand, so she was quite happy.But what she doesn't understand, Rong Huang will naturally let her understand.

As expected by Rong Huang, the Empress Dowager followed suit and agreed to Concubine Rong's proposal: "Concubine Rong is right. Concubine Zhao is a lady of a family. Can hold people." At this point, she raised her head and gave Lagu Su Ma a wink, and the latter knowingly handed over a small box to Ronghuang.

"These are the keys of various palaces and several storerooms. The lords of the East and West Twelve Palaces will release the keys by themselves every night, so you don't need them for nothing on weekdays. Girl Rong put them away."

Rong Huang didn't make a gesture of refusal, she got up respectfully and saluted, and then took the key from Lagu Su Ma.The small box was heavy, and Concubine Rong was jealous when she saw it.This is the key she has been longing for for decades in her previous life but has not been able to touch it!

Seeing that Rong Huang was not hypocritical, the Empress Dowager nodded with great satisfaction: "Feng Yin is still with your Empress Mother, she is not in good health, let the girl watch for herself, if she can handle things, she can decide for herself. It will also save your mother-in-law bother."

Rong Huang responded, and expressed his determination to do a good job. Seeing Xiao Zhuang's tired face, the three emperors and concubines quit together.

Xuan Ye still has ministers to meet, and Rong Huang and the others are not on the way.Yikun Palace and Zhongcui Palace went east and west, and the two originally had different paths, but Concubine Rong was about to resign, but was stopped by Ronghuang.

"Good sister, don't rush to leave." Rong Huang took her hand, looked at her softly and said, "You blame me for stealing your palace affairs?"

Of course it's strange!Not only strange, but also hate!Concubine Rong gritted her teeth in secret hatred, but she couldn't show her face, and her flesh froze with a smile: "What did you say? Your status is higher than that of concubines, and it is only natural for you to lead the harem. What's more This matter was brought up by my concubine first, and the empress dowager made the final decision, how could my concubine dare to blame you?"

Rong Huang nodded, and sighed with worry on his face: "Oh, it's good that you understand. The Empress Dowager decided this matter in advance, and there is nothing I can do about it."

The words were like thunder, and Concubine Rong trembled all over, and her face suddenly turned pale.

While she was speechless, Rong Huang bit her lips, and said with apologetic expression: "It's useless to talk too much, Concubine Rong is very smart, you can understand after thinking about it carefully. Which woman in the harem is not physically ill?" You..." After saying this, she shook her head, got on the sedan chair and went back to the palace.

"In that case, why did you tell me this?"

Concubine Rong had already swallowed the words of the rhetorical question.This is nonsense, and it is a nonsense that will offend Concubine Zhao.Concubine Zhao told her the truth, naturally because Concubine Zhao was stupid, so stupid that she exposed the plan of the Empress Dowager!She can't be stupid!

But at this time, Concubine Rong hated her "smartness".Because after Rong Huang's simple reminder, she immediately understood who set up the trap today, so she felt even more sad and remorseful!

It was the empress dowager who was kind and gentle to her all the time!It's the master of the harem who she hasn't seen clearly in two lifetimes!

What Concubine Rong doesn't want to admit is that perhaps even Xuan Ye, whom she wholeheartedly admires, is also an accomplice!In the previous life, Kangxi only spoiled her for ten years, but Concubine Rong only had resentment but no hatred towards him, because she wholeheartedly thought that she and Kangxi were separated by Xiaozhuang Shengsheng.

But now...even Kangxi treats her like this?
For a moment, Concubine Rong only felt that someone had slapped her face hard twice, and her heart ached like a knife.It's just that although it hurts, I don't want to wake up.She would rather believe that she was plotted against by the Empress Dowager, otherwise why would she insist on entering the palace again in her life?
One must have a thought in life, otherwise she would really not be able to hold on.So subconsciously, Concubine Rong instinctively rejected and doubted Kangxi, but pushed herself into a corner step by step, thinking that the Empress Dowager was plotting against her.

Concubine Rong was annoyed on one side, but Rong Huang on the other side was greatly relieved when she returned to the palace.Getting along with these people is really tiring. Not only do you have to concentrate and your brain is running at high speed, but you also have to adjust your expression all the time to develop in the direction of an Oscar queen.

Her mentality is not high enough, and it takes several hours to deal with these people at a time.The only cheat is the ability, and the function is so cheating... Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong along the way.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to live in such fear...Rong Huang silently set two goals for herself: either to become the most powerful and leisurely queen mother in the harem, or to complete Mei Luo's arrangement The task is to leave in a hurry.

Ru Lan had been with Rong Huang for a long time, so she could see that she was not in good spirits, so she took the initiative to come over and massage her.Rong Huang nestled comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, and heard Rui Lan whispering in his ear: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something."

Rong Huang didn't even move his eyelids when he heard the sound, and replied lazily: "Speak."

Rui Lan murmured: "Why did the empress tell Concubine Rong... that the Empress Dowager had arranged this matter in advance? Didn't this make Concubine Rong even more jealous of the master?"

After a brief silence, Rong Huang smiled slightly: "Rui Lan, I ask you, which one is more terrifying, resentment or jealousy?"

"Of course it's resentment." Ruilan replied without thinking.

Speaking of this, Rong Huang couldn't help sneering: "That's it. The empress dowager and the emperor played a good show today. From the perspective of this palace, it is plotting against Concubine Rong. In fact, if you look at it from the sidelines, it is Lian Ben. The palace is also counted."

"Your servant doesn't understand." Ru Lan interrupted suddenly: "Although your servant was confused at the time, the master was worried that she might be overwhelmed by Concubine Rong, but in the end the Empress Dowager still handed over the power to the master? "

The advantage of this girl Ru Lan is that she is simple-minded and has no half-heartedness towards Rong Huang.The shortcoming is also that the mind is simple and simple, and it is too simple to think about things.But Rui Lan is a little bit transparent. Hearing what Rong Huang said, her heart became clear like a mirror, and she sighed: "The Empress Dowager is really...unfathomable. On the surface today, she is She favored Concubine Rong, but in the end she left all the practical benefits to you, Master, because she wanted neither side to offend, and made Master and Concubine Rong jealous of each other."

Rong Huang stretched out her hand amusedly, Rui Lan knowingly stepped forward to help her remove the long armor, and then she heard Rong Huang whisper in her ear: "It's a pity...she offended both of them this time. Concubine Rong has always avoided confrontation with the Empress Dowager, now she should be sober. This is good, it saves me so much effort to deal with that."

Speaking of this, Rong Huang couldn't help laughing at herself.In the end, she was a little shallow, and she thought that clarifying the truth to Xiaozhuang could gain a little trust from her.But even though Xiao Zhuang believed in her, it didn't mean she believed in Rong Huang!
It's not that Rong Huang's performance is not good enough, but that Xiao Zhuang fundamentally will not trust any woman in the harem.
