Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 242 Decentralization
Yun Xi looked coldly at Concubine Tong who was still unwilling to let go at this point, and sneered in her heart. Since a person like Kangxi intends to deal with this matter, it is impossible to give her another chance to struggle, otherwise why would he take advantage of this situation? Opportunity to announce this matter, poor Concubine Tong still hoped to stop this matter with the little affection she had consumed in the past, but she didn't know that the more she stopped and struggled, the more determined Kangxi would be.

"Oh, I'm not worried about the noble concubine, I'm just worried that the harem will become full of problems because of the noble concubine's pretending to be strong." Kangxi raised his eyes and glanced at Tong Guifei, speaking indifferently.

"The emperor is right. What the harem needs most right now is safety. The Ai family sees that Concubine Tong Guifei's body is indeed not as healthy as it used to be. Besides, Concubine Niu Colu, Concubine Zhao, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Hui are worth mentioning. They are all good children, and they are all capable, so it would be good to help share the burden together." The empress dowager, who has never been very prominent, didn't know what kind of mentality it was, so she opened her mouth at the right time, and she didn't need Concubine Tong to continue Opening your mouth can make people feel that the matter has been accomplished.

Concubine Tong looked at the Empress Dowager and Kangxi who were standing on the same line, and then at the shining eyes and expectant expressions of Concubine Niu Colu and the others. She was extremely regretful. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start. , As for the fact that it is obviously not feasible to use the past relationship to explain things, Tong Guifei's face was as white as snow for a while, her lips parted slightly, but she didn't know what to say to defend herself.

"Emperor Niang said that the harem has been complicated recently, and the noble concubine can't handle it alone." Before Concubine Tong Gui could speak, Kangxi's words meant that the matter was settled. Concubine Tong left room, it all depends on his mood.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Tong felt heartbroken when she looked at Kangxi, who was completely ignoring her thoughts. Thinking about the fact that the power in her hands would soon become someone else's, her mood became even more complicated.She was just unwilling to target Concubine Zhao in every possible way before, but who would have thought that she would have lost the palace power before the matter was settled, and she would have thought of the reaction from her natal family without writing a letter. If I really want to give her concubine a little bit of face, I'm afraid there will be no place for her in the harem.

No, no, she can't just sit and wait like this, even if she loses the palace power and the trust of the emperor, at least she can't let that lowly girl Shuyu climb on top of her. As for Concubine Zhao, even if she has no spare power to deal with her, but On the concubine's side, even if there is hesitation, it is not unintentional. If she provokes more, sooner or later the two will meet.

"Okay, since Concubine Tong is not in good health, the palace power will be handed over to Concubine Zhao, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui to assist." When Kangxi said this, he looked at Concubine Niu Colu with meaningful eyes.

Some things are impossible for Kangxi to say too clearly. If Concubine Niu Colu is smart, she will naturally understand his intentions. Of course, if she is not smart, Kangxi will also have countermeasures. He is not afraid of these concubines playing games with him. After all, let these concubines It is his attitude as an emperor that really survives. As for power, if he doesn't nod, what will they get!
"The concubine understands, please rest assured the emperor and the empress dowager." Concubine Niu Gulu was also smart, sensing Kangxi's intentions, she immediately stood up and saluted.

Concubine Niu Colu is a smart person, and she is also a pragmatic smart person, otherwise she would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of this noble concubine even when Kangxi hated her in every possible way, and even accept the palace power in the hands of Concubine Tong at this time, Even if she got less than half of it, she felt very satisfied. After all, if there was no Concubine Zhao who sat below her, she might not even be able to touch the edge. So, how could she know that Concubine Zhao belonged to the emperor? With a sharp heart, he deliberately opposed her!

She is not an idiot like Concubine Tong, who thinks she is the emperor's cousin and can do whatever she wants in the harem.No, once you fall from the sky to the earth, you still don’t wake up, and instead push all the faults on others. Such a person will not be knocked into the dust, whoever will be knocked into the dust.

Different from Yun Xi's calmness, the expressions of Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong sitting on the side were also very excited. Everyone wanted a high position, but palace power was not something that could be obtained just by fighting for it.In the past, none of them dared to think about this, but now the opportunity is clearly in front of them. They don't care who they get, and how much power they can get, but they know in their hearts that as long as they hold it in their hands With a little bit of palace power, the status of both them and their children in this palace will be really stable in the future.

This harem has always been dominated by high and low. Many things are not determined by status, but by palace power, family background, and the emperor's favor. These things seem to be unrelated, but in reality, the ranking points First and foremost, but for concubines, palace power is still ahead of the emperor's favor.

Of course, this does not mean that the concubines don't care about Kangxi's favor, but that palace power is more effective than Kangxi's favor at certain times. It's not because the power in her hands can determine the quality of life of the concubines in the harem, or even life and death.

Yun Xi glanced at Concubine Tong, and held up a handkerchief to hide the smile on her lips. For her now, the worse Concubine Tong's life is, the happier she is. people calculate.You must know that there is cooperation between them, but Concubine Tong broke off the cooperation privately, and even beat her up. She is a clay figurine, and she still has a bit of earthy nature, not to mention that she is not a clay figurine to be bullied.

"Since the emperor has made a decision, you can discuss this matter! As for Concubine Tong, after working so hard for so long, you should rest well in the next few days and take care of yourself!" There was a sneer in her heart, when she didn't know the Tong family's ambitions, it was just that there used to be the empress dowager, and she didn't need her to take the lead, but now that the empress dowager has fallen, it doesn't mean that she can tolerate someone with just a little nod Presumptuous in front of her.

Compared with the arrogance of the Tong family, the Empress Dowager prefers Concubine Niu Colu's pragmatism and Concubine Zhao's duty. This person must be content, and those who are not satisfied can be prosperous for a while, but they cannot be prosperous forever. Many dissatisfied people disappeared before her eyes, so she not only learned her own lesson, but also used this as a benchmark when looking at people.

Kangxi agreed with the empress dowager's words very much. Although the result was more thorough than he thought, he also knew in his heart that the Tong family had indeed passed the past few years.Even though he wanted to balance the court, he didn't want the Tong family to become one of them. Unfortunately, the Tong family didn't seem to understand his painstaking efforts, and kept jumping up and down. This time was his last reminder to the Tong family. If you can’t grasp it, then he will no longer leave room for them.

After all, Kangxi is an emperor, and he is also an emperor whose heart is getting colder and harder. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people or things that can make him move or soften his heart. For him, it was already the limit, so the next thing to look at was the Tong family's own choice, not whether he, the emperor, was soft-hearted enough.

"It's getting late, I won't bother the queen's mother to rest." After the matter was over, Kangxi didn't stay long anymore. Although his attitude towards the empress dowager remained the same as before, it didn't mean that he could still be the same as before. Get close to the empress dowager without any grievances.

The empress dowager glanced at Kangxi when she heard the words, thinking about the things the empress dowager had done, although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she had to accept the emperor's indifference. After all, the empress dowager and the Mongolian concubines in the harem wanted too much, and She did too much, which caused the emperor to have a knot in his heart. If she wanted to get rid of this knot, it would be impossible to just help the emperor with one or two things. It would depend on whether everything she did in the later period conformed to the emperor's wishes If it fits, everyone is happy, but if it doesn't fit, she will follow in the footsteps of the empress dowager.

At this moment, the empress dowager had a grudge against the empress dowager, complaining that she was too close and too greedy, otherwise they would all be fine, and even have the opportunity to help Horqin when possible.But now everything is ruined by her greed, the emperor is now wary of them and Horqin has reached the highest level, it is not easy to get rid of it!
Concubine Niu Colu saw that Kangxi was leaving, and they couldn't stay any longer. She said a few polite words with the empress dowager and then got up to leave. As for Concubine Tong, she followed behind them in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.But Noble Concubine Niu Colu and the others didn't care about this, they were now fully thinking about how to distribute the power that was about to be obtained.

Yun Xi is not in a hurry about this at all. She is not a noble concubine, nor is she the head of the three concubines. Even if she is favored by Kangxi and has two sons by her side, the family power is average after all, and there is a huge distance compared with others. Having too much power might cause unnecessary trouble, so she didn't want to compete with Concubine Niu Colu and the others.But what she didn't expect was that although the imperial concubine Niu Gulu didn't give her too much power, she gave the distribution and control of the most critical part.

When it comes to censorship, it involves the whole palace. It can be said that whoever is offended cannot offend her. Otherwise, as long as Yun Xi plays a trick on this, the high-ranking ones may only be affected, but the high-ranking ones may not be able to live forever. I can't go on, after all, not every concubine who enters the palace has enough confidence.

"Imperial concubine, my concubine has never been in contact with these things. My concubine suddenly entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and my concubine is afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on the big responsibility..." Yun Xi looked at the noble concubine Niu Yulu sitting at the top and the eager concubines Hui and Rong, and said with Get away with it.

Concubine Niu Colu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words. Others were afraid that they would get too little. This concubine Zhao is really... But the more she is like this, the more she feels that her choice is correct, and compared with the ambitious Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong On the contrary, she thinks that Concubine Zhao is more reassuring. After all, compared to these two, Concubine Zhao's bottom line has been drawn from the beginning, as long as she is careful, she can detect it, but the other two are different. They have already been exaggerated by the harem. , and she couldn't afford to bet on their kindness.

Concubine Rong chuckled, although she was unwilling, she did not agree and said: "Sister Concubine Zhao has always been a safe person, and it is only natural for a concubine to entrust her with a heavy responsibility."
