Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 235 Mother's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
The empress dowager wants to deal with Yun Xi. Since the whole palace knows about it, it is impossible that there is no news outside the palace. Moreover, if the concubines in the palace want to take the opportunity to make trouble, people outside the palace who have daughters in the palace naturally want to. Take the opportunity to gain some benefits, after all, for them, loyalty is second, and benefits can last forever.

But the empress dowager was unexpectedly hard-fated, and everyone thought she would not be able to delay for a few days, but after half a month, she was still alive and well. The empress dowager has been verified here.

In a blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet arrived. It is said that the Empress Dowager was ill, so it was impossible for the Empress Dowager to do it, but the life of the Mongolian concubines is not easy nowadays, and they finally got a chance to prove their status. They didn't want to lose, so even if the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, these people still instigated the Empress Dowager out.

In the past, when the Empress Dowager was around, the Empress Dowager was basically a little transparent. Few people paid attention to her every move and thought. Now that the Empress Dowager has fallen, more and more people start to pay attention to her .Fortunately, Kangxi had a good impression of the Empress Dowager. Even though he had no good feelings for the Mongolian concubines, he never thought of embarrassing her, and because of the previous conflict with the Empress Dowager, Kangxi needed to restore his image, so this birthday The banquet was organized in a logical manner.

The birthday banquet in the palace is not just anyone who wants to participate. Only concubines who are noble or above can participate, and married women also need to be of a certain rank. Not everyone is qualified for this.When Yun Xi came over, Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Niu Colu had already arrived, and there were many concubines, big and small, around. Seeing this, Yun Xi didn't intend to do anything special, and greeted them very politely.

The moment Concubine Tong opened her mouth, she originally wanted to stab a few words, but before she could speak, Concubine Niu Colu opened her mouth first, "Looking at the appearance of Concubine Zhao, this body needs to be taken care of again, it's okay , Sister Concubine Zhao is doing her filial piety on behalf of the Emperor, we have not been able to help the Emperor, so we can only show consideration for Sister Concubine Zhao."

Concubine Niu Colu was unexpectedly enthusiastic this time, and she seemed to be sincerely caring for others, which made the surrounding concubines look sideways. After all, this noble concubine has been arrogant and unreasonable since she entered the palace. My lord, except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, she is rarely friendly to other concubines. Now that she has shown her kindness to Concubine Zhao again and again, could it be that she is afraid of Concubine Zhao's favor and wants to win Concubine Zhao over?

It is said that there must be demons when things go wrong, not to mention those concubines, even Yun Xi herself is surprised, but she has never taken the initiative to offend people, and this is not the first time that this noble concubine Niu Yulu has shown her favor, if not She doesn't want to get involved in other people's battles. She actually admires Concubine Niu Colu very much. At least this one has always been known for being self-aware and understands her own situation. Stepping on Kangxi's bottom line, she has heard Kangxi mention her several times. Although the words she said were dissatisfied, her attitude was better every time.

"Thank you for your compassion, imperial concubine! It is a blessing for a concubine to share the emperor's worries." Yun Xi saw that everyone was putting on that hellish expression, smiled, and broke the deadlock instantly when he spoke, which not only eased the atmosphere, but also It gave Concubine Niu Colu face.

The concubine Xi who was on the side looked at this scene, knowing that she should not speak, but she couldn't suppress the unwillingness in her heart, and said sourly with the corners of her mouth: "Oh, after all, the concubine Zhao is very lucky, not only to be favored by the emperor, but also to be favored by the emperor. Concubine Lu's attention is really enviable!"

Yun Xi glanced at Xi Concubine, and didn't want to indulge her any longer, so he said directly: "If Xi Concubine admires the blessing of this palace, she can go to the emperor, I believe that the emperor's attention to Xi Concubine will definitely satisfy Xi Concubine request, and let Xi Concubine also go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, to enjoy the blessings that others cannot enjoy."

On weekdays, Yun Xi ignored Concubine Xi, and didn't want to understand her reasons against him. Anyway, the women in the harem are born enemies. Whether they are opponents or enemies, they don't need a reason, but just because she ignores it doesn't mean that she will always indulge her. Xi Concubine was jumping up and down in front of her, finding faults, after all, this was the harem, not her natal family, and everyone was her parents, so they wanted to indulge her in everything!
Concubine Xi's face froze, and the expression on her face instantly became ugly. Who didn't know that Concubine Zhao almost lost her life during her trip to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.Although the Hesheli family is powerful and there is a crown prince, she is nothing as a concubine, but a side branch of a beautiful girl can get a bit of good looks when she is useful, and if she is useless, who can take her back? thing.Thinking about the deteriorating situation in the past few years, Xi Concubine seemed to feel afraid only now, forced a smile and said to Yun Xi: "Ms. Yes, Concubine Zhao should stop making fun of concubines."

Yun Xi glanced at Xi Concubine who suddenly gave in, she didn't play any tricks of chasing after her, and she didn't take Xi Concubine seriously from the beginning to the end, a person who can only play tricks is not worth her trouble, so she said flatly : "I am not joking, I just want to tell you that some things cannot be settled with just a confession, and only those who are prudent in their words and deeds can live a long time." After saying that, he no longer looked at Concubine Xi, turned his head and walked away. Talk to Concubine Niu Colu.

Concubine Tong Gui really wanted to step in. It would be best if she could magnify the matter. It would be good if she could use this to sell Concubine Zhao's favor. If not, it would not be a loss if she could step on her, but who knows that she has not yet opened her mouth. , this Niu Gulu, who is like a normal person on weekdays, actually rushed ahead of her to say nothing, and even helped Concubine Zhao everywhere. There must be something in this move that she doesn't know!
It's a pity that the matter is over before she can figure it out, and looking at the picture of Niu Gulu and Concubine Zhao having a happy conversation, a trace of worry suddenly arises in her heart. She didn't want to push Concubine Zhao into Niu Gulu's camp.You must know that the Niu Gulu clan, the Hesheli clan, and the Tong clan are not far apart in a three-legged situation, but they are not far apart, especially the Hesheli clan and the Niu Gulu clan are dominant, so that they Tong clan want To climb up, one has to cautiously walk forward one step at a time, lest the steps be too big and attract other people's siege.

After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Tong knew that she couldn't get close, otherwise she would not only be unable to plot against Concubine Zhao, but would also have to promote the cooperation between Concubine Zhao and Niu Colu's. two people.After all, Niu Gulu's family is powerful, while Concubine Zhao is favored. If such two people really get together, she will feel that the position of imperial concubine, not to mention the queen, is at stake.

Nurse Tu at the side didn't expect things to develop in this direction, she was a little guilty in her heart, and now she just picked a head, and the arrogance of this concubine was suppressed, not to mention, and it even angered the noble concubine Niu Yulu I noticed Concubine Zhao, it would be fine if the two didn't cooperate, but once they got to the same camp, not only their calculations would come to nothing, but even Tong's plan would be affected too!

Concubine Tong supported Mother Tu's hand and walked towards the main hall. Compared with her usual graceful and elegant demeanor, although Concubine Tong's footsteps were not messy, she was also distracted. However, in this status symbol At the palace banquet, not to mention just being mentally affected, even being seriously ill, if she showed her own style of conduct according to her preferences, she might be reluctant to give up this opportunity to show off.

"Concubine Tong is here—"

"The noble concubine Niu Colu is here—"

"Concubine Zhao is here—"

"..."

As the inner eunuch sang me loudly, there was a commotion in Shufang Zhai, the clan and its Fujins who had already been present got up one after another, and the concubines didn't dare to have any relationship with those wives, they all got up and came to the desk They bowed with their hands tied, and when Concubine Tong and the others appeared at the gate of the palace, they saluted and greeted them one after another. However, the princes of the clan had a slightly loose attitude, but they were passable, at least they didn't take advantage of it.

Concubine Tong returned the salute to the princes and Fujin with a smile on her face, with her reserved appearance, those who didn't know thought she was the empress!No, before she could open her mouth, Concubine Niu Gulu, who was walking behind her, suddenly jumped in front of her, and then her red lips parted slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, excuse me—"

Seeing the princes and Fujin who got up one after another, they took the initiative to talk to Niu Gulu instead of talking to her, she almost gritted her silver teeth, but no matter how unwilling she was, she also knew that Niu Gulu's background was indeed better than her. She is tall, and these princes and Fujin pay attention to blood, they will treat her courteously but not please her, so this attitude is actually very normal, but Concubine Tong always thinks that there is a fourth elder brother by her side, and her status is different from before. Unfortunately, it is not her She has to restrain her temper and let her do whatever she wants.

However, what is surprising is that these princes and Fujin's perception of Yun Xi is not bad, and the noble concubine Niu Yulu introduced her to the side, not to mention letting her blend into it all at once, but they also met a lot of people. It is said that Yunxi owes Concubine Niu Colu a real favor this time.

"The Emperor is here—"

"The empress dowager arrived—"

After a while, the voice of Neilian Gao's announcement came again from outside the door. Concubine Niu Gulu and Concubine Tong stepped out of the main hall together this time stepping on the bottom of the flower pot. It's eye-catching, but at least it doesn't attract much attention, let alone disgust.

Not far away, the chariots of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager came one after the other. No matter what the real situation in the harem was, what was presented to everyone at this time was at least a picture of a loving mother and a filial son.
