Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 374 Harem No.1

Although the rise of the Suochuluo family attracted the attention of many people, it did not affect the overall situation. Under Kangxi's deliberate connivance, those families with other thoughts all began to accumulate power together, reaching out where they could reach out , nothing else, just to have more capital to fight for in the future.

In such an atmosphere, Kangxi looked like he was in control, which made Yun Xi look at him with a trace of complexity.

He obviously knew all these things a long time ago, but seeing Kangxi playing with one person after another like pawns, it was because of Yunxi's heartless temperament that he couldn't help but suspect that he was also a pawn in his hands.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the end of the year, and just when everyone thought that there was only Concubine Niu Colu in the harem, Kangxi made another decree before the palace banquet, making Yunxi a noble concubine and titled Zhao. .1, such a result caused the harem to explode in an instant. Even the noble concubine Niu Colu, who had been raising her children in the palace, did not expect that Concubine Zhao would jump on top of her.

Concubine Niu Colu was actually mentally prepared. Before Yun Xi, she was No.1 in the harem, holding the power of the harem. Even if Kangxi didn't need to discuss with her, she would reveal some of her behavior. After all, being promoted to a noble concubine is not just about It was a decree, but what Concubine Niu Yulu didn't expect was that she would be relegated to the second line with just a title. Although this feeling was not good, she knew in her heart that she could not compete with Concubine Zhao.

There are three thousand concubines in the harem, those who are favored are not favored, and those who have status are not. Each of them is fighting for their family or their beauty. Only this Concubine Zhao, no, it should be said that she is Concubine Zhao The whole journey was arranged by the emperor with her help.This kind of difference cannot be surpassed by hard work, not to mention that Concubine Zhao's scheming skills are no worse than anyone else's.

Concubine Niu Colu took the lead in backing down, and the rest of the harem naturally didn't dare to find Yun Xi unhappy at this point. After all, the imperial decree had just been issued, and if they acted at this time, they would definitely be declaring their dissatisfaction with Kangxi's decision. Concubine Zhao is upset, maybe she will be unlucky first.

At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve night, Kangxi attended the imperial concubine Yunxi together. This behavior made everyone have to cast their eyes on the noble concubine Yunxi again, and even more so, they set their sights on her name on the three older brothers.

Compared with other concubines, most of them have only one elder brother under their knees, and the one more is nothing more than a son and a daughter. No one like this Concubine Zhao not only has two sons, but also an elder brother personally ordered by the emperor No matter whether it was born by her or not, it is her capital under her name, and this kind of capital has been noticed before, but because Yun Xi was not so dazzling at that time, no one took action, but now she is leaping forward. On the top of the branch, it is a bit more unattainable.

At the palace banquet, everyone was complimenting, probing and cooperating with each other with smiles on their faces. Yun Xi didn't like this kind of scene. In the past, she just sat and left after a while. After all, she was not the protagonist, but this year was different. She became a harem No.1, even if it's a show, it has to be the last, otherwise a reputation that is favored and proud will be smashed immediately.

Taking advantage of the free time, Yun Xi went outside with her green sleeves to disperse the smell of alcohol. There were quite a few people coming and going. The corridor went to the nearest Jiaotai Hall.

Of course, Yun Xi didn't go to the Jiaotai Hall, but took a breath of fresh air in the space between the Qianqing Palace and the Jiaotai Hall. Who told Jiaotai Hall to be used by the Queen, if she really broke in at this time, Maybe someone will accuse her of coveting the posthumous position. Although she never thought of becoming a queen from the beginning to the end, who would believe it.

Yun Xi was wearing a heavy imperial concubine formal attire, a bright red cloak, and a white fox scarf around her neck. She looked elegant and dignified, but she also had a feminine charm.Standing under the promenade, looking at the vast expanse of white snow, it looks like a scene from a distance, like reality, like illusion, and like in a dream.

Concubine Niu Colu took a step forward, Chi Yunxi, she happened to see this scene when she came over, and at the same time she had to admit that it was difficult to have a concubine comparable to her in the harem, even the former Wei, Because of her grief and her excessive aging due to various reasons, her beauty has become a thing of the past and people's memories. In addition, compared with Yunxi's amazing beauty, she slowly disappeared from people's memories. inside.

The moment Yun Xi turned his head, he saw Noble Concubine Niu Colu nodded slightly. Although she has not been officially canonized yet, the imperial edict has been issued, which means that the overall situation has been settled, but Noble Concubine Niu Colu has seen Yun Xixing Banli, such a change has to be said to make people feel very adjusted.

Concubine Niu Colu slowly walked up to Yun Xi, looked at her bright red cheeks, and said softly: "Why didn't your empress bring more people over? There are so many people at the palace banquet. No one can guarantee that no one will collide."

Yun Xi smiled, and looked at the snowflakes that were still floating in the distance: "It's just that I came out to sober up, don't make too much fanfare, and the empress doesn't have to feel uncomfortable, this status has changed, we are all the same as before Get along, as I once said, as long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I won't make a move easily."

Concubine Niu Colu said with a embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be discarded, some things are necessary even if they exist, we'd better follow the rules, so as not to be taken as a handle in the future."

Yun Xi laughed at himself and said, "You're right, this harem doesn't allow anyone to be careless. But since we've met each other today, let's take this opportunity to chat!"

"What do you want to talk about?" Concubine Niu Yulu glanced at Yun Xi with a little surprise in her eyes, her lips pursed lightly, as if she didn't expect that she would suddenly make such a request, after all, they don't even count as cooperation, just Subconsciously and tacitly choose convenience for others and convenience for oneself.

"Talk about the thoughts in the empress's mind now, talk about the expectations for the future, anyway, just talk about what is in your heart, so as not to accidentally become an enemy for no reason." Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled, her demeanor did not contain a trace of hostility, and she seemed very close.

Concubine Niu Colu's expression was startled when she heard Yun Xi's words. It was obvious that what Yun Xi said just now was more surprising than letting her stay. After all, Yun Xi is currently No.1 in the harem, and has three sons by her side , the prosperity of the family is even more unstoppable, so after a while, even if Kangxi canonize her as an imperial concubine, or even a queen, she will not be too surprised. After all, this harem is the emperor's harem. After gaining his own power, it is impossible for him to allow others to influence the decision of the harem to establish a queen and a concubine.

"What is the empress talking about? I can have any thoughts in my heart. I will do whatever the emperor says. I only hope that I can raise the old ten well." When Niu Colu said this, he still had some sincerity. Yes, it's just that the days of holding power have been long, and no one is willing to hand it over just like that.

Yun Xi looked ahead, took a breath of cold air, and slowly regained consciousness from his thoughts, which seemed a little confused due to the alcohol, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say such kind words to me. I don't want to change anything!"

"Of course, you don't have to do it yourself, you just need to say a word, and others will try to bring everything to your mother." Concubine Niu Yulu smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Yun Xi gathered the cloak, hugged the hand stove in his arms with both hands, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty is serious, if I really have such an idea, then I don't need to stand here and chat with your Majesty. The imperial concubine is still The person in power in the harem, and the power in my hands is enough. The sudden conferment of the emperor this time is my blessing, but it is not a reason for me to be domineering. Just like what the empress said, I only hope that the child will grow up well, I think so too."

Concubine Niu Colu turned her head to look at Yun Xi, saw her sincere face, her cheeks were a little hot, she seemed to be a bit of a villain, "Have you not thought about anything else, Your Majesty? Now Your Majesty's appearance is still beautiful. She is very favored, and the emperor is in his prime... Although there will be countless beautiful girls entering the palace in the future, if the empress does not stand on a high place, isn't she afraid that someone will replace her one day?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly, turned to look at Concubine Niu Colu, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that if I stand on a high place, I will be able to guarantee that no one can replace me? Now I am the only concubine in the harem, and there are three concubines under my knees." Elder brother, even though we can't talk about having both sons and daughters, but we are satisfied, the empress thinks, what else can I ask for?"

Concubine Niu Colu paused, looking straight at Yun Xi, as if she wanted to see through her.

Yun Xi continued: "Beloved? As the empress said, the emperor is the king of a country, and he has countless women. If you ask the emperor for long-term favors, and even use this favor to ask for this or that, the empress thinks that the emperor will Give? Is it possible?"

She thought about it, wanted it, but unfortunately Kangxi didn't give it to her. He really doted on her, defended her, and even promoted her on many occasions, but this was not what she thought about, but it was the only thing he could give. Such and such, what more could she ask for, everything was in front of her eyes, if she couldn't see clearly, Kangxi would be the first to get tired of her without other women fighting!
"You...have you never thought about it..." Concubine Niu Gulu met her star-like eyes, her expression becoming more and more shocked.

"Thinking about what?" Yun Xi looked at her suspiciously.

Concubine Niu Colu, as a woman, a woman who had a crush on Kangxi, whether it was disappointment or self-despair, proved from the side that Kangxi is an attractive man, even if he is not the most handsome, but tall, The domineering gestures are enough to attract the attention of others, not to mention the straight concubines and maids in the harem, even the beautiful women outside the palace who are about to run for election, no one wants to be his only woman, but he is tempted But he wasn't moved at all. It turned out that it wasn't just poor women like them who couldn't love him, but also Kangxi who hadn't returned to his senses.

Concubine Niu Yulu suddenly laughed loudly. She covered her mouth with a veil, and she couldn't hide her presumptuous laughter. Even at the end of the laugh, tears came out of the corners of her eyes, "Retribution...it's really retribution ..."

Regardless of whether he is the king of a country, whether he is the real dragon emperor, whether he is sincere, he can stand on a high place and watch them struggle in this hopeless relationship with cold eyes, but he never thought that one day he would I moved my heart, but I still didn't get a response!It’s okay if he doesn’t realize it all his life, but once he realizes, even if he is the emperor, it’s hard to move a frozen heart. Fortunately... Fortunately, she is not so stupid as to ruin her own in order to win the limelight. future.

"What retribution?" Yun Xi raised his eyebrows, looked at her very calmly and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, the empress said nothing wrong, I was wrong." Concubine Niu Yulu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and finally stopped laughing: "Since the empress has no intention of changing the status quo, then keep it as it is." This peaceful state has been going on, instead of being cruel and merciless, it is better to let the children grow up peacefully like now."

Yun Xi nodded, let out a breath of cold air, turned to look at Concubine Niu Colu and said, "We've been out for a while, and the snow is getting heavy, let's go back!" After finishing speaking, she walked forward go.

There is snow in the sky, the previous thin snow has been covered by this heavy snow, and the original red walls and yellow tiles have long since disappeared in the white snow.Yun Xi walked slowly and walked out of the long corridor. When she raised her hand, she looked at the snowflakes in her hand, and then listened to the footsteps behind her.

Women's attitudes towards feelings are never as free and easy as men's, but when it comes to despair, they are often more decisive than men.

After the palace banquet, Kangxi wanted to speak several times but he didn't. He stayed in the Yonghe Palace during the New Year's period. Firstly, he wanted to give Yunxi a face, and secondly, he wanted to test whether Yunxi would change after becoming a noble concubine. After all, There were too many examples in the past, he couldn't help being careless, and he even regretted his impulsiveness for a moment, but the result made him very relieved, Yun Xi didn't mention the matter of changing the power in the harem.

In fact, it is only natural for Yun Xi to ask this question. After all, she is now the No. Only then did he talk to Concubine Niu Colu ahead of time. As for Kangxi, what he did only made Yunxi feel even more chilled.

If you can't afford some things, then don't give them. Now that you have given them, don't worry about them, or even try them out.People's hearts are the most vulnerable thing to test. If Yunxi didn't see through Kangxi's thoughts, maybe from then on, she would be Concubine Zhao, but she would no longer be a favorite concubine.

It can be said that such a result is ridiculous. Who can imagine that everything in the harem is exchanged for something else. For example, the current tranquility is all exchanged by her feelings and grievances. Outsiders only see her The beauty, but did not see the hardships and trembling behind her.
