Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 55

In this way, peace, wealth, and the throne will all be prepared for her son.

But now is not the best time to conceive. She is still young, and it may be better to wait until she turns eighteen to have children.The eldest brother Chengrui is a living example. Ma Jiashi gave birth to him when he was less than 15 years old, so the eldest brother was congenitally deficient and physically weak.It's ridiculous that Mrs. Ma Jia still stubbornly thinks that her son was murdered, and she is willing to kill all the women in the harem!
When mentioning the matter of the child, Rong Huang suddenly hesitated.Her purpose of entering the palace in the first place was to complete the task that Mei Luo forced to stay, but now it is a breeze to kill these two women with her ability.But... I don't know when it started, but she has gotten used to this kind of step-by-step life, and she began to like fighting with others, and became addicted to the pleasure of looking down on all living beings.

And this kind of addiction is getting deeper and deeper, and it is going deep into the bone marrow... That's why she had the idea of ​​giving birth to a son and winning the dragon chair.

She now gradually understands that many women who travel back to modern times are always thinking about how to fall in love with a bunch of handsome men or how to be a passerby in a low-key manner, but that is just a fairy tale.The women in the palace of the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do every day, the only thing they could do was to plot against each other and flatter each other.Only when the family background is strong enough can one have the capital of self-protection.Love and power are the foundation of their foothold. If they want to live comfortably, they must hold both tightly in the palm of their hands at the same time.

Just when Rong Huang was struggling with where to go, the eighth year of Kangxi came quietly without knowing it.

Recently, Queen Hesheli can be described as extremely proud.She held Kangxi's only son in her hand, and would invite the emperor to Changchun Palace every now and then.Because the Hesheli family tried their best to please Kangxi in the previous dynasty, the emperor's attitude towards her also changed from disgust at the beginning to indifference.

The three major festivals of the Qing Palace are New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Longevity Festival. It stands to reason that the queen must participate in the celebration of these three major festivals.In the past few years, Hershey did not attend due to "discomfort", but now it is different from the past, with her eldest brother in hand, she will naturally come out to such an important banquet.

On New Year's Day, the Hershey family stood beside Kangxi in a dignified manner dressed in splendid attire.After Ma Jiashi's betrayal, the Hesheli family seemed to be much calmer, and seeing Rong Huang right now, he didn't verbally provoke her.It's just that those eyes glanced at Rong Huang with a half-smile, showing off faintly.When Rong Huang saw it, he shook his head in his heart. The empress had put all her attention on her, and she didn't notice the disappointed look in the Empress Dowager's eyes when she looked at her.

It is true that if it were not for the loss of virginity four years ago, the queen could barely be regarded as a qualified mother of the country.But in the past few years, she has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and her mentality has fluctuated too much, she is still not as calm as Rong Huang.

Just like at this moment, Kangxi ordered the palace servants to add a seat for Concubine Zhao by his side, the empress immediately changed her face slightly, and went forward to talk to Xuan Ye with her elder brother in her arms.Xuan Ye couldn't push the child away for a while, so he had to leave Rong Huang there.

Rulan was trembling with anger when she saw it, and complained to Ruilan in a low voice: "This Hesheli is really shameless. The elder brother was thrown to her because our master didn't want it. What can she be proud of? She didn't make it herself." children."

With a calm face, Rui Lan said lightly: "The happier she is now, the more miserable she will cry in the future. Didn't you see it? Master Zhao did this on purpose..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a middle-aged man with a thick back striding to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Everyone looked around, and it turned out that the man was Batulu, the number one in the Qing Dynasty, Ao Obai in the middle hall.

Kangxi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Aobai to stand up at this time.It is reasonable to say that the three major festivals are all about to stop the court, and he has not yet taken charge of the government, so what can Obai do?
At this moment, Oboi said in a deep voice: "I respectfully invite the emperor to take charge of the government!"

As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked.Queen Hesheli's face turned pale with fright, and the elder brother in her arms almost fell off.

What, what's going on here?Oboi has great power in his hands, how could he suddenly be willing to let go of power?According to the plan, shouldn't her grandfather respectfully invite the emperor to govern in the next year?

Hesheli looked at Ronghuang subconsciously, and saw that she was wearing a light yellow tapestry jacket with a trim, and she looked gentle and charming.In the snow light, her complexion is fairer, and it is almost transparent in the sun.She looked calm, as if she didn't know anything, and she seemed to know everything.

To describe it in four words, it is unfathomable.

Fang'er had a strong premonition that this incident must have something to do with this Niu Hulu clan!

Kangxi frowned slightly, then opened it again, and said in a deep voice: "I know that Ao Zhongtang is loyal to me, but this matter is too hasty, let's discuss it later!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the man in the center of the hall.But Oboi didn't seem to have heard the emperor's words, and he didn't care about those scrutinizing or surprised eyes, he still knelt there upright.

Seeing it at the side, Rong Huang couldn't help but sarcastically smiled, being an emperor is such hypocrisy, he clearly wants to be in charge of the government like crazy, yet he still has to put on a calm expression on his face.

Just at this moment, Ronghuang's Ama Yebilong also stood up and knelt aside, obviously he had communicated with Oboi in advance: "My humble minister begs the emperor to take charge of the government!"

Kangxi suddenly stopped talking.He stared fixedly at the two of them, and said slowly: "You two lovers, please get up quickly. I know your intentions, but I am still young and not good enough to take on the big responsibility. This matter will be long in the future, and it will not be too late to discuss it. "

Ao Bai saw that Kangxi's words were sincere and sincere, and he did not seem to be fake, so he subconsciously looked at Ronghuang who was beside the emperor.She nodded lightly, signaling Oboi to ignore Kangxi's hypocrisy and insist on kneeling there.

The matter of Kangxi's pro-government will not be decided so hastily.At least Xuanye, the little emperor who had to ask his grandmother about everything, would definitely have to go back and discuss it with the Empress Dowager before making a decision.But Rong Huang's insistence on his two fathers today is not doing nothing.One is to show determination and dispel Kangxi's doubts.The second is to... reward meritorious deeds.

That's right, as far as she knew, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang's grandfather and grandson had already agreed with the Hesheli family in private that they would be the first to propose pro-government in the next year.Once that time came, Obai and Ye Bilong seemed passive.The first person to eat crabs either died of starvation or starved to death. Rong Huang took a gamble, betting that the royal family did not trust the Hersheys so much, and betting that Kangxi was too eager to be in power, even for a few months. Don't want to wait any longer.

"Your Majesty," Ye Bilong, who is good at words, said, "Today is the eighth year of Kangxi's New Year's Day, and the emperor is already seventeen years old. If the ministers refuse to delegate power any longer, don't you think they are arbitrarily exercising power?" Jian Jian A single sentence not only shows that Obai and E Bilong are not greedy for power, but also puts the other two assistant ministers in a passive position.

Sonny's old face immediately became a little ugly, he coughed for a long time, and was about to ask Suo'etu to support him to come forward to second the proposal, when Suke Saha, who was clever in his words, knelt down beside Ye Bilong.When Sonny knelt down tremblingly, Kangxi had already made a decision: "Ao Aiqing is loyal to me, and he will be granted the hereditary first-class prince, and Ni Aiqing will be granted the hereditary first-class uncle! Don't mention the matter of pro-government for the time being." !"

Hereditary First Class Duke and First Class Uncle, this is a job that fell from the sky!In this way, even if Namufu achieves nothing in the future, at least he can live with a title after Aobai's death.Ordinary people have long been heartbroken, and thank you for the decree.But after Aobai raised his head and glanced at Rong Huang, he resolutely rejected the emperor's reward: "I am ashamed of receiving it, and I hope the emperor will take it back!"

Ye Bilong also echoed at the side: "It is the duty of the ministers to assist the emperor to attend political affairs in person, and the ministers dare not take credit for it!"

The two ministers of the Qing Dynasty knelt there respectfully, as humble as they wanted, which greatly satisfied Kangxi's vanity as a young emperor.Xuan Ye was overjoyed, and he got up and helped up several assistant ministers himself, so he gave up this matter for the time being.

After this episode, the banquet continued, but Hershey was no longer in the mood for a feast.She just looked at Rong Huang coldly, and the resentment piled up in her heart.Because of Aobai and Ye Bilong's overtures, the emperor became more enthusiastic towards Ronghuang, his eyes were almost glued to her body and never moved away.Hesheli looked down at the eldest brother who was crying in his arms in disgust, thinking that the plan needs to be implemented earlier...

On Hesheli's side, he cared about his grief, while Ronghuang and Xuanye's side were enjoying themselves happily.She has been feeling unwell recently, and has never been to bed. Xuan Ye couldn't eat, and his heart was itchy. In addition, he felt relieved after seeing the signs of pro-government. Do things like beasts.

Rong Huang's physical inconvenience is not unfounded, a few days ago, in order to bring down Concubine Rong, she asked Imperial Physician Hou to prescribe her medicine to advance her menstruation, which caused her menstrual disorder, and she might not be able to go to bed for a while.She had long thought about choosing a low-ranking concubine under her own hands to help her win over Kangxi, but she couldn't push him away.Now that this happened, Rong Huang just got the chance to look for a candidate.

Concubine Yi's family background is too high, and she has no intention of having a harem, so obviously she can't do it.Mrs. Yigui and her are neither relatives nor relatives, so they don't know the details. Although they have some similarities in appearance, they have only known each other for a short time, so they can't be used easily.Several concubines couldn't get on the stage, after much deliberation, the Huigui Nalan's was the most suitable.
