Chapter 218
A group of Mongolian concubines in the Palace of Compassion and Ning looked at the empress dowager's ugly face, and they were all relatively speechless. They didn't know why the emperor would suddenly act. Baoyi and the over-year-old maids in the harem, and even the eunuchs, if they were only sent away, they would definitely not make trouble in the Compassionate Peace Palace, but the emperor dealt with nearly half of their staff as soon as he made a move. How do they accept the life they have been living in, and now they suddenly become 'deaf and blind'.

It can be said that these manpower is the basis of their standing in the harem, otherwise, how could they not be favored by the late emperor but still ensure their own status? It is not because of the power in their hands that the late emperor and the people in the harem are jealous. what?Losing these powers now is another matter. After all, the palace has always held the high and trampled the low. Who can guarantee that one day they will not block the way of others, unless the Empress Dowager can solve this matter, otherwise they Danger!
The empress dowager is not ignorant of these people's worries, but she simply does not have the ability to fight against the emperor now. It's still there, but the emperor no longer has the fear of the past, and he will never follow her heart like before.

Originally, there were many conflicts between Kangxi and her. She has always used her status as an elder to suppress him, and her influence in the palace and those clan ministers who supported her, but now these people are being suppressed one by one. It's ruined, I'm afraid the emperor won't bow his head so easily in the future!After all, once this person has his own thinking, he can no longer be as obedient as before. As for the concubines in the harem, what she values ​​is far from what the emperor values. In addition, their ideas are different. If one party compromises, it will be fine. If not, they are afraid that they will really fight to the death.

"No matter what the emperor's intentions are, the most important thing now is to take stock of our forces and see how many people are still needed?" The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, suppressing the faint pain in her chest, and said calmly.

The empress dowager next to Aunt Su Ma didn't change much, maybe she was used to not making decisions in everything, even though everyone felt that the situation was urgent, she was still as calm as water.It's not that she has a big heart, but that no one wants to hear her opinions, and gradually she has developed an attitude of letting things happen naturally.

There are also Mongolian concubines who like to stand out in everything. If it weren't for the status of ordinary concubines, they would have jumped up. Emboldened.During the period of the first emperor, they all loved Pingping, and now the new emperor is on the throne, the so-called one emperor and one courtier, let alone these concubines.

"Empress Dowager, we don't have many people to use. Since the emperor made the decree, we have liquidated the people we have. All of them together are less than a hundred people." Speaking of this, the concubine The eye circles are red. In the past, none of them had a hundred or eighty people in their hands, but now, except for the waiters around them, the secret eyeliner and confidantes are not at all clear, and they are not far from each other.

"Less than a hundred people!?" The Empress Dowager exclaimed when she heard the words, her brows were tightly frowned. She thought it would be cruel to lose more than half, but now it seems that the loss is more than half. Everything in the harem, and how to suppress those concubines, suddenly, the empress dowager felt a fishy sweetness in her throat. If she hadn't forcibly suppressed it, this mouthful of blood would definitely spurt out again, "Forget it, this is the end, we can What I have to do is to stand still and accumulate strength again. Now that Ulan Tuya has entered the palace, while supporting her, the Ai family will ask Horqin to send another girl over to train her well. I can't find a woman that the emperor likes!"

The rest of the Mongolian concubines didn't know what to say after hearing this. Anyway, they basically didn't have the right to speak, and when they opened their mouths occasionally, others didn't listen to them very carefully. I don't interrupt much.Now it is obvious that the empress dowager has already made a final decision, and no one will listen to what they say, so let's see if the empress dowager's decision can turn the tide!
Aunt Su Ma saw everything in her eyes, lowered her eyelids, and the corners of her eyes scanned the people present, watching the various expressions on their faces, and sighed in her heart!She understands what the empress dowager is thinking, but today is different, not to mention the emperor's attitude, even with the power they have at hand, it may be difficult for them to make another storm, let alone force the emperor to favor the Mongolian concubines.

There are so many beauties in this world. It is true that there are beauties in Horqin, but this is full of eight banners, no, there are also Han Eight Banners, who can be selected is not a beauty, just say that Wei Chang is there, and his appearance is outstanding. Didn’t the emperor say that Give up and give up, and then think about Concubine Zhao, who is equally good-looking and makes the emperor look at her differently. Such a woman, even she, a woman, does not consciously have a good impression of her, let alone a big man like the emperor.

Whether this incident was intentional or unintentional, the emperor can be said to have completely cleaned up the empress dowager and Mongolia's influence in the harem. If they want to restore their former glory, it may not be possible for one or two favorite concubines. Don't forget It took three dynasties to achieve what it is today.But she used to say this kind of thing, but now she can't, just because the empress dowager's illness has made her unable to bear any stimulation.

Without the emperor's having everything, and not being able to benefit Horqin, this is tantamount to losing the strength of the harem and the honor of the empress dowager. If the empress dowager can wake up in time, even if the emperor is doing it for others to see, that's okay. The empress dowager will not be treated badly, but if the empress dowager continues to be the same as before, if she thinks she can control the emperor, the situation of the Ci Ning Palace will not be very good!

At the moment when Aunt Su Ma was contemplating, the Mongolian concubines in the Compassion Ning Palace didn't know what to say, they were all blushing, they must have had an argument just now.But La Aunt Su Ma could guess the reason for this without asking, it was just for the sake of that candidate, they thought it was beautiful, but they forgot that the emperor would not necessarily tolerate their repeated calculations.

"Okay, the Ai family has to think about this matter, and it won't be too late to talk about the candidate after the emperor gives a reply." The empress dowager rubbed her forehead that was aching from the quarrel, and the moment she raised her hand, she pointed These people waved their hands, then closed their eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, these Mongolian concubines knew that there would be no results if they continued talking, but they were also interested. They saluted in a proper manner and began to leave the inner room one by one, and Lagu Su Ma was just helping the queen The empress dowager tucked in the quilt and followed her out.

Although the Empress Dowager was anxious, she also knew that there were some things that could not be rushed, especially at this moment, if she showed dissatisfaction, not only would she not be able to achieve her goal, but it would push the emperor further and further away. This was not what she wanted to see. arrived.

In the ups and downs of the harem for nearly a lifetime, if the empress dowager was impulsive, she would not live to this time, and even more bravely sat in the position of empress dowager, so after the anger in her heart gradually subsided, she also calmed down up.As for what happened this time, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, she had to admit it. As for what happened in the future, she could only strive for it instead of forcing it, otherwise she would be seeking her own death.

The Palace of Compassion and Ning was completely silent now. The empress dowager wanted to use tricks to force Kangxi to summon Ulan Tuya, but now she dared not act rashly, even though Kangxi did not summon Ulan Tuya within the time she expected. Ya, she also has to grit her teeth and bear it, instead of forcing him to act according to her own will with the airs of the empress dowager as before.

Regarding this, the Taihuang Taihuang felt aggrieved, but with this serious thought, the disease inevitably became a little worse, which caused the imperial doctor who came to take the pulse to sigh again and again, but he couldn't say some things, so what he said was nothing more than Rehash the old tune.

Aunt Su Ma sighed deeply when she saw this, she knew what the imperial doctor said, but unfortunately the empress dowager didn't take it seriously, whenever she encountered matters related to the harem or Horqin's interests, she would ignore them, She completely forgot that her body could no longer stand the torment. As for Concubine Tong's proposal, Aunt Su Ma didn't take it seriously. When the Compassionate Ning Palace was powerful in the past, she didn't dare to put her master in danger. Among them, let alone when the power is insufficient now, she dare not let her master take risks.

Concubine Tong is too eager to show off. If the emperor has no other plans in mind, she may still have a chance to advance. Otherwise, it may be difficult to gain a firm foothold with the identity of the cousin of the emperor's mother's family. After all, Concubine Tong's qualifications Not to mention one's background, one has no heirs yet, even if the fourth elder brother was adopted, but the ceremony has not been done until now, the emperor still doesn't understand the intention?

The emperor didn't want the Tong family to become bigger, but unfortunately the Tong family didn't understand the emperor's intentions, they kept running up, looking at the posture, it seemed that they wanted to replace other families and become the number one, such an ambition, unless the emperor lost his head, otherwise It is impossible for the Tong family to produce another queen.But if the emperor really wants to do this, it will be a good opportunity for them, after all, the more chaotic the situation is, the more they can fish in troubled waters.

The Empress Dowager drank the medicine, waved Aunt Xiaochi away, looked at La Aunt Su Ma who came in from outside, and asked anxiously: "How is the situation? Will the Emperor have the honor to call Ulan Tuya?"

The current situation is not good for her, and the only breakthrough is Wulan Tuya. After all, it is impossible for her to ask the emperor what is in her heart. It is really inconvenient for her to become the current state of 'deaf and blind', but there is nothing she can do. Even if she wants to win over or train people, it is not now.

"Your majesty is no different than usual. Except for Concubine Zhao who has been favored more often recently, those who have been turned over are old people from the past. The newcomers have been quiet since they were turned over twice by the emperor last month. Wu Lantu Ya actually 'met' the emperor twice in the imperial garden, but the emperor didn't show anything special." Aunt Su Ma couldn't help but heaved a long sigh as she thought about the news she had inquired about.

"It's the same as in the past? Maybe it's different? Now it's hard for the Ai family to tell whether the emperor is sincere or not. Even this concubine Zhao is no longer something the Ai family can deal with." Thinking of getting more and more favored Concubine Zhao, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but a gleam of coldness flashed in her eyes.
