Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 161 Public anger

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes, turned her eyes to Kangxi who was at the side, and kept muttering in her heart. She always thought that apart from Wei and Zhao, the emperor had always favored Wu Ya, so when she was drawing up the plan to win over, Wu Ya Also among the candidates she wooed.

The Empress Dowager was quite surprised that Tong's style changed from her reckless style in the past and she spoke according to the rules.But more people want to take this opportunity to show kindness to Wu Yashi, but they don't want to think that when the two sides confront each other, the emperor doesn't seem to care about Wu Yashi at all, as if he might abandon her at any time. This made the empress dowager hesitate.

Her purpose of wooing Zhaopin and others is very simple. As long as she thinks about the draft, it is not difficult to guess her intentions, but even so, she believes that with her means, it doesn't matter whether it is Zhaopin or Weishi Wuya. , it is impossible to refuse herself, so with sufficient choices, the Empress Dowager is not so attached to Wu Yashi.

Seeing Kangxi's indifferent attitude, the Empress Dowager let go of the idea of ​​showing favor to Wu Yashi, and said in a cold tone: "No one will make you forget, but it is impossible to follow your wishes in everything. It must be the palace rules, she doesn't want you to see the fourth child, it must be because you have done something wrong!"

When Kangxi heard these words from the Empress Dowager, he rarely remembered his purpose of coming to the Palace of Compassion and Peace today.Although he was annoyed that Concubine Tong made a big fuss about this matter, Concubine Tong was not wrong. She had agreed to adopt him for the fourth care of the elderly, and she was acting in accordance with the palace rules. It's just the palace rules, and his face was also hit.

"The empress dowager is right. I'm here to ask you. You say you love your children. Then you should know who is more beneficial to the fourth child to raise you or to be raised under your name?" Kangxi said As a character, once he puts aside the sympathy, his shrewd and sharp eyes can easily see through the essence. After all, if he is really a master who wants beauties and not worlds, Wu Yashi will not kneel here to answer from the beginning to the end. .

"This... this... Your Majesty, the concubine just can't resist the longing for Yinzhen in my heart, Your Majesty!" Facing Kangxi's questioning eyes, all of Wu Ya's righteousness seemed to have changed at this moment Guilty and sophistry.

Looking at her expression, Kangxi didn't understand anything, and shook his head slightly disappointed. Kangxi's mood at this moment is still a bit complicated.He originally thought that Wu Yashi was just overthinking and dissatisfied, but now it seems that she is quite courageous, if not for the lack of concubines and concubines in the harem who are raising the prince Gege, maybe because of her behavior, there will be a big disturbance , "Ai'er's earnestness will never be used for this. Whether you are sincere or false, whether you are pure and sincere or have some other purpose, I think you know better than anyone else in your heart. Of course, I also know!"

He didn't want to think badly about his former favorite concubine, but with Yun Xi's words in front and Wu Ya's guilty expression in the back, it's hard for Kangxi, who was already suspicious, not to be so suspicious because of his past experience. Make up some things that shouldn't be made up in your head.

Speaking of which, what really disappointed Kangxi was not Wu Yashi's greed, what he was disappointed was that Wu Yashi wiped out all the best impressions of her in his heart.

He thought he was a loving mother, but he repeatedly used the child as an excuse to win favor, power and status. This is really...

Wu Yashi looked at Kangxi's expression uneasily, and saw that his expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if nothing had changed, but she was familiar with Kangxi's expression, but she knew that Kangxi was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and she didn't even need to continue to look at him. , she also knew that the curvature of his mouth was not a smile, and his bottomless black eyes were full of coldness.

At this moment, Wu Ya's family hated Concubine Tong's nonsense, and hated her for not following the rules, "Your Majesty, the concubine admits that she has selfish intentions, but no mother-in-law is willing to give her child to others. The palace rules are irreversible, but there is love in the world, if the imperial concubine and empress are willing to accommodate, everything today would not have happened at all."

Concubine Tong looked at Wu Yashi, who was full of lies, and the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted to reprimand her for being shameless. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Yun Xi who shook her head slightly. After getting down, he turned to look at Kangxi with grievances and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine disagrees with what you said, nobleman Wuya. Although my concubine's act of not allowing their mother and child to meet is indeed overbearing, but I haven't seen nobleman Wuya say it's inappropriate before." , and I have never seen Wu Yagui being as attentive as he is now."

Concubine Hui carefully looked at the faces of the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, and saw that the attitudes of both of them towards Wu Yashi were reproachful, and she also agreed with Concubine Tong's words.Although she has an elder brother by her side, she really doesn't need to adopt other people's sons, but as the lord of the first palace, if those low-ranking concubines in her palace are pregnant, if they are promoted, it's fine, if they don't, the child will still be born sooner or later. To hold her down to her knees, if someone beats her up like Wu Yashi then, wouldn't she have to be like Concubine Tong, unable to tell the truth?
"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines think that what the concubine and empress said is reasonable. It is impossible for the people in each palace to be the master of the same palace. The one who gave birth to the prince and elder brother can hate whoever is named after him? That's not a mess." Already!" As soon as Concubine Hui said this, the other concubines responded one after another, thinking that before they came, they would have been hostile to Clan Wu Ya, and it was all because Clan Wu Ya's actions had caused public outrage.

"En..." Before Kangxi responded, the empress dowager beside him couldn't help but say, "I shouldn't have interrupted this matter, but from what I mean, the Ai family is also the one who committed crimes!"

As soon as the empress dowager's words came out, all the people in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace looked at the empress dowager. At this moment, they remembered that in addition to high-ranking concubines adopting low-ranking concubines, the empress dowager also adopted Yi Concubine's fifth elder brother.If it is true what Concubine Hui said, whoever adopts him will hate him, wouldn't it mean that Wu Yashi hates Concubine Tong, and Concubine Yi hates the Empress Dowager!
Seeing that many people's eyes were on her, Yipin felt great hatred in her heart, but she knelt down very politely on her face, and said in a sincere voice: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the emperor, and the concubines have never thought like this. But, and the empress dowager took good care of Yinqi, the concubine was very relieved, how could there be resentment!"

That's what he said, but the moment he tilted his head, Yipin slashed at Wu Yashi with his eyes like a knife, it seemed that he really hated Wu Yashi.

Kangxi turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile on his face: "Emperor Niang, Yibi is so sincere, since she said so, she must also think so, and Huangerniang has been with Yibi for so long, she The Queen Mother must be sure of her character. Besides, today's matter is small, but the trouble is big, and you can't let it go. Besides, since this palace rule has been formulated, there must be a reason for it, otherwise someone will follow suit in the future. , follow the nonsense, I am afraid that some people will think that it is my connivance."

Kangxi's increasingly stern tone made everyone in the hall sit up straight unconsciously, only Yun Xi rolled his eyes in his heart.Others don't know, she doesn't know yet, Kangxi said these words without any sincerity, if you really don't want this kind of farce to happen again, in addition to quickly clarifying the ownership of the fourth elder brother, you have to suppress Wu Ya's restless Ordinary heart, otherwise, Wu Yashi will definitely make a comeback in a short time.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw that Kangxi was talking so much. Although she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.Just when he was about to speak, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred, thinking of the belonging of the fourth elder brother, the hands that were clasped together froze slightly.If Concubine Tong's decision today is the idea of ​​adoptive fourth elder brother, she can't let her achieve it easily. After all, the Tong family is not small, and it is the emperor's mother's family. , no matter what the emperor thinks, it is impossible for her to agree.

The empress dowager is an old man who has been ups and downs in the harem for so many years. She has never seen any kind of means. She is very clear about Wu Ya's little thoughts, but because she has nothing to do with herself, she ignores it. In its development, who would have thought that a careless move would allow Tong to take such a huge advantage in a crooked manner. While this made the Empress Dowager feel annoyed, she could only follow Concubine Hui's words. After all, if she refuted, she would Whether it is the words of the empress dowager and Yipin.Thinking of this, the empress dowager's tone was no longer as calm as before, and she seemed a little rushed: "This matter must be handled properly. Since the emperor also thinks it is not good, then he will kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, and show those who make mistakes a little bit, so that she is not everyone. All of his faults can be escaped with just a few words."

Kangxi was so annoyed by the empress dowager's words, he didn't want to admit that there was something wrong with his vision, but the empress dowager's words and the existence of Wu Ya's all proved that he was indeed fooled by the woman he favored.

"Huang Mama is right. This matter really cannot be exposed. In this case, in order not to cause unnecessary disputes, I decided to adopt the fourth child under Tong's name. In this way, she is the fourth child's mother-in-law. No one can say no." When Kangxi gritted his teeth and said this sentence, he was thinking about what to do to restore the balance of the disrupted forces in the court and the harem.

"Hiss—" After hearing Kangxi's words, everyone gasped unconsciously. No one thought that Kangxi would finally adopt the fourth elder brother under the name of Concubine Tong!
Most of the concubines here rely on their heirs to ascend to power. It can be said that if there is a son, there will be an amulet. As long as they don't do anything that angers others, they will have the glory of this life.With an identity like Concubine Tong's, there is another son, even if he is an adopted son, but as long as he has a jade certificate, it will be no different from his own son!

Wu Ya's face turned pale, and she sat slumped on the ground, her eyes wandering, and it took a long time before she shouted in a sad tone: "Your Majesty, you can't do this! Even if my concubine has selfish intentions, even if she has schemes, she just wants to have more love with Yinzhen." It's not bad to be close! But now the emperor..." Touching Kangxi's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile and cold eyes, Wu Yashi only felt scalp numbness and a chill in his heart. With a sudden change of mind, he hurriedly said: " I also ask the emperor to be merciful, and the concubine promises that in the future, without the permission of the imperial concubine, I will never approach Yinzhen... No, it is a step from the fourth elder brother, and I beg the emperor to be merciful!" While speaking, Wu Ya kept kowtowing at Kangxi, with a look on her face. 'As long as he agrees' the expression that she can do anything to revoke this decision.

Seeing her like this, Kangxi not only lost the previous unbearable feeling in his heart, but also became more firm in his thoughts. Instead of letting his son live in pain because of the struggle between the two women, it is better to be straightforward and give everyone a happy: "Zhen I said a long time ago that as long as you do your part, I will give you what you should, but you let me down."

Kangxi's tone was calm and without any emotion, but what she said made Wu Yashi feel chills down her spine. She thought that she had counted everyone's reactions, but she didn't expect that not only did she get nothing in the end, but she was really serious. lost her son.

"Your Majesty, is it okay if the concubine is wrong?" Wu Yashi lamented, compared to the beautiful crying before, she was really heartbroken at this time.
