Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 323 Inexplicable Misunderstanding

Coming out of Shouning Palace, Fu Quan and Chang Ning sent Yinreng back to the palace and went out of the palace together, each preparing to return home.Fuquan is fine, guarding the capital, even if the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy, it does not prevent him from returning home. On the contrary, Chang Ning has not been home for more than half a year since he set off for Mulan. Fuquan forgives him for being on the go all the time. , I wanted him to go back to the mansion first to rest, and discuss all matters until tomorrow, but Chang Ning himself was unwilling to go back to the mansion, and insisted on handling the matter before leaving. Fuquan had no choice but to take him back to Prince Yu's mansion .

The two brothers entered the study and sat side by side, their expressions were calm but with a hint of seriousness, obviously they did not dare to neglect the things Kangxi explained, even if Kangxi was not around, they still kept their duty and did not dare to overstep the rules.

"Tell me! What are your plans? The emperor's situation is good. It is said that the victory is more than the loss. If there is no accident, Galdan should be killed soon, and the emperor will return to the court smoothly." Fuquan didn't either. Thinking that just a few guides could play such a big role in this battle, if he hadn't been involved from the beginning to the end, he couldn't believe that things went so smoothly.It's just that his stupid brother, who didn't accompany him on the expedition to repay his kindness, now thinks about going to the battlefield when things are halfway through. Although no one dares to stop him, he is suspected of being greedy for credit, so naturally he can't let him go.

Chang Ning looked at Fuquan with a worried face. Although he felt a little guilty that he could not tell the truth, he did not reveal the most secret secret in his heart because of this momentary impulse, but said helplessly: "Second brother, the prince and Concubine Zhao and the others have returned to Beijing safely, the Crown Prince and Second Brother are in charge of the palace, Concubine Zhao and the three younger elder brothers are also recuperating well in the Huangzhuang, only my younger brother and I have nothing to do, how can this be possible?"

Fuquan squinted his eyes, and was very satisfied with Chang Ning's idea of ​​making contributions in his heart, so he slowed down his tone and said, "I know you want to share the emperor's worries, but the timing is not right, and there is no one in or outside the palace who wants to help you." It was so peaceful. Today, the empress dowager suffered a great loss, and it seemed that the compromise had subsided, but no one could guarantee that she would really give up. Besides, there was Horqin, who was not willing to give up. They still felt that the empress dowager was there before. Don't worry, the empress dowager is obviously not as powerful as the empress dowager, and they may think of other ways to achieve their goals."

Fuquan is still very clear about Kangxi's determination to eliminate the influence of the Mongolian harem, and for various reasons, he also knows a lot about the inside story, and he is deeply resentful about it. After all, as a member of the Aixinjueluo family As a member, no one wants his fate to be in the hands of someone other than the emperor, especially when he thinks that his birth and survival depend on the face of a Mongolian woman, no matter how good Fuquan is, he can't maintain it.

Loyalty to the imperial power is the characteristic of this era, and Fuquan has engraved it in his bones long ago, but he is a dignified prince, and he can be born and grow up, but he can see the faces of various ministries in Mongolia, which makes him not shy.In fact, there are benefits in the true relationship between concubines and their heirs in the palace. He can accept all this, and even be a filial son and grandson within the acceptable range, but beyond this line, Fuquan, as the descendant of Aixinjueluo The indifference is fully revealed, which is why he would stand by and watch Kangxi suppress the empress dowager and other Mongolian concubines.

He thought that the empress dowager was honest and good, but Mulan and her party made him really understand one thing, that is, no matter how honest the women of Horqin pretend to be, they can't hide their greed in their bones.

Chang Ning is not a fool, so he naturally knows where the worries in Fuquan's words come from. Horqin's ambition is big enough to shock them.The stability of the Qing Dynasty is above all else. They know in their hearts that from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, it seems to be stable and prosperous, but in fact the foundation is not solid. Otherwise, Kangxi would not be eager to concentrate military power, gather Taiwan, and appease Mongolia.But if no amount of appeasement can bring back peace, they can only confront each other like now. After all, sometimes no matter how much you say and how much reward you give, it is better to beat them painfully and make them remember deeply.

"Second Brother, what do you mean the Empress Dowager was just putting on a show? Are there other people in the harem who want to harm Concubine Zhao and the others?" Chang Ning frowned as he thought about the concubines in the harem.

Fuquan didn't panic when he saw this, he just sighed softly and said: "There will never be a lack of battles in the harem. Concubine Zhao saved the prince in Mulan this time, whether it was intentional or not, she blocked the way of others. Well, if the emperor was around, they wouldn't dare to take action easily, but now that the emperor is not here, we don't know what kind of plans they have, but we need to guard against them in advance, otherwise something will happen to the concubine Zhao and the others, you Even if I have a thousand reasons, I can't absolve myself of the blame."

Concubine Zhao returned to the capital, obviously she was in Huangzhuang, who would dare to be disrespectful to the people of the royal family, but the royal family is not sure, after all, Concubine Zhao's status is getting more and more stable, and there is even a chance of promotion, He himself has no ill feeling towards this. On the contrary, this contact made him see the potential hidden in Concubine Zhao. Although it will not be flattering, it will never be an enemy rashly.

"Second Brother's worry is indeed necessary, after all, Concubine Zhao is not only favored by the Emperor, but also appreciated by the Crown Prince, plus there are three Elder Brothers by her side, even if she can't sit in that position in the future, she will at least become a noble concubine. It would be fine if the family behind her is strong, but unfortunately the Suo Chuo Luo family has been in decline for a long time, even if there are a few talented people now, they will not be able to support such a big stall in a short while." It is all on the bright side. Others can see clearly what is on it, let alone Chang Ning who pays close attention to Yun Xi.

"You just need to understand it in your heart." Fuquan was afraid that this younger brother would be stubborn, and sometimes he would get angry, and he wouldn't even give Kangxi face, which is why Kangxi was always unwilling to use him much.It's not that I don't believe it, but that I don't like people or things that are beyond his control, "I don't want to talk about the past, but this time, the emperor entrusted me with the safety of the capital, and entrusted the safety of the prince and the others to you, then Before the emperor returns to the capital, you have to keep your spirits up, at least you have to ask questions from Huangzhuang every few days, lest someone secretly attack you."

Chang Ning looked at Fuquan solemnly, seeing that he had persuaded himself so much earnestly, he couldn't help but seriously said: "Second brother has said so, I can't help but know what is good, I will give the emperor a report on returning to Beijing, as for About going to the battlefield, I will also ask the emperor first, if he agrees, I will set off to go, if he does not agree, I will stay in Beijing obediently."

He is actually very worried about Yun Xi's safety in Huangzhuang. Anyone with a brain knows that it is a good opportunity to deal with Yun Xi now. Young, if he is born again in the future, this harem is probably unmatched by anyone!
It was also her good fortune, she was born noble, but her family was in decline, she didn't have much power in the court, she couldn't become a relative in that chaotic country, and she was beautiful, so the emperor naturally felt relieved.But the emperor's reassurance does not mean other people's reassurance. After all, those who dare to send their own daughters into the palace have schemes. It's okay if Concubine Zhao is not favored or is no different from other concubines. Unfortunately, she is unique, like a dazzling light , making people have to look at her, this has become her biggest sin.

At the beginning, he didn't think so much, maybe it was his arrogance as a prince that made him forget that the so-called inconspicuous women would sometimes steal his mind. It is impossible to take this woman as their own, after all, today is different from the past, they are no longer the ruthless and blood-drinking foreigners, they are the royal family, they are the model of the world, so they cannot tolerate mistakes, let alone scandals.Not to mention that he doesn't have the ability to fight against Kangxi, even if he does, how can he completely abandon the brotherhood of these years.

Fuquan didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought he had listened to his own words, and couldn't help laughing: "Success, if the emperor agrees, I have nothing to say, but before the emperor's decision is sent back, you are old in the capital. Be honest." Fearing that he would be confused, Fuquan reminded him repeatedly at the end.

Chang Ning still respects Fuquan, the elder brother, even though he has his own pettiness in his heart, but as long as he promises Fuquan, he will do it, so with his guarantee, Fuquan will not keep talking about this issue, but instead say Thinking of some things that happened in the capital during this period, lest Chang Ning would suffer if he didn't know, he took this opportunity to tell them one by one.

Regardless of the fact that the capital is calm on the surface, in fact several forces are ready to move. If the news of Kangxi's victory did not keep coming, they might turn their backs.After all, today's wealth can't be compared to an extremely human minister, otherwise, why would so many ministers risk the world's disgrace to compete for the meritorious service of the dragon!
It is precisely because they are clear that Fuquan will pay attention to it, and Chang Ning will take it seriously, because it is not easy for them to travel this way. Don't think that being the prince elder brother will definitely have a good future. With so many sons and daughters of the late emperor, Kangxi is the only one who really stands out. It's just the two of them, even if the others have titles, they are just idle jobs.It was hard for them to get what they are today, if anyone wants to step over them and soar into the sky, then they can only fight with their lives.

On the same day, Chang Ning, who had just returned to the capital, insisted on returning home after dinner at Prince Yu's Mansion. Prince Gong Fujin had no objection to this, and welcomed Chang Ning back to the mansion happily, and did his best to serve him to rest, but Chang Ning did not. To save the face of my family Fujin, I just rested in Fujin's yard that day. The concubines in the backyard were unwilling but did not dare to presumptuously. After all, Fujin is the main wife, and they are concubines. On the surface, but in the dark, some people secretly speculated whether Prince Yu Fujin said something that made Prince Gong Fujin, who was not favored at first, accepted the favor?
Of course, no matter how many guesses there are in this kind of matter, if the person involved does not speak, the rest of the people cannot go to Prince Yu Fujin to ask straightforwardly, but Prince Gong Fujin remembered Prince Yu Fujin's kindness, so that in the future Prince Yu When Fujin was on Yunxi's side, Prince Gong Fujin, who didn't know it, also stood in her camp. This inexplicable misunderstanding was for Yunxi, no, it should be said that it was for Yinzhen who knew how to seize the heir at that time. less hassle.
