Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 105

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and after the Longevity Festival, beautiful girls from remote places had already started to go to Beijing.

Xu Shi all knew that the main purpose of this draft was to choose the crown prince's concubine, and this session was unprecedentedly lively.

Therefore, the roster of show girls this time is [-]% more than that of three years ago.

Some are twelve or thirteen years old, and many are barely seventeen. This year, there are [-]% fewer people asking for grace to be exempted from the election.

Wu Anning is still living her life leisurely in Changchun Garden, while the other five concubines are busy in the palace, but they are also busy happily.

Min'er is three years old, and now she can speak clearly, and she has a very lively temper, and she loves to make trouble at a young age, but Wu Anning also found that her memory is very little, so she began to teach her to read.

Wu Anning holds Min'er to read the Three Character Classic.

"Your Majesty, news came from the palace just now...the sixteenth elder brother of Concubine Wang Shu died young." He Qigong walked in hurriedly, but whispered in Wu Anning's ear.

Wu Anning was slightly startled, and asked, "What's the reason?"

"I got wind and cold, and I had a high fever last night, but it disappeared early this morning."

Wu Anning's eyes darkened. She had long thought that Concubine Rong might not be able to raise children, but she never thought that after so many years, she was still the real concubine in charge of the palace, and she let the little elder brother die so soon?

"Don't mention this matter again."

He Qigong nodded.

Niangniang has been in Changchun Garden for quite some time, and she has nothing to do with them. Now that the news has not been uploaded to Changchun Garden, she pretends not to know.

However, Wu Anning was still implicated in this matter.

On the second day, Kangxi sent the Empress Dowager to come to Changchun Garden to keep in good health.

Wu Anning took Min'er to meet him.

Every time Kangxi came to Changchun Garden, if there was no major event, he would stay in Changchun Garden for ten days and a half months, and half of the time would be accompanied by the Empress Dowager. Wu Anning stayed in Changchun Garden for half a year, and the Empress Dowager was sent here Four times, since the Empress Dowager is here, Wu Anning will often go to pay her respects and talk with her.

For such a long time, Wu Anning and the Queen Mother were still strangers before, but now they are familiar with each other.

The empress dowager is peaceful, and she is easy to be content with, let alone put on airs, it is too easy for Wu Anning to curry favor with her.

When the Empress Dowager saw Wu Anning coming, she invited her to see the lotus together.

The two sat down on the railing of the attic, and instead of talking about the changes in things at the beginning, they asked, "Have you seen the emperor?"

Wu Anning was puzzled, then shook his head.

Although Kangxi lived in Changchun Garden for a while, there were also places where he ran government affairs. Wu Anning was not allowed to enter those places without permission.

In the past, when Kangxi came to Changchun Garden, he would spend a lot of time in his yard, and only after dealing with today's political affairs would he come to see Wu Anning.Today, of course, is the same.

The queen mother asked Wu Anning if she saw Kangxi immediately?It can be seen that Kangxi is looking for her for something today.

The queen mother patted her hand lovingly, and said: "Concubine Rong is too ignorant, the draft is not as important as the prince's elder brother!"

Wu Anning asked: "Queen Mother, but what happened to Concubine Rong and Brother Sixteen?"

The Queen Mother nodded, and said: "Yesterday Elder Sixteen is gone, Concubine Rong is busy with drafting, and ignores Elder Sixteen, and the palace servants around her are also dishonest, let Elder Sixteen suffer cold, The illness was fierce, and I stayed up all night with a high fever, and then it disappeared..."

Having said this, the queen mother couldn't help but sighed.

Many grandchildren have died, and it is still very important to have a grandson.

"How did this happen?" Wu Anning's voice became a little sad.

"Concubine Rong was fined for one year, and the palace affairs were not given to her. Yesterday when the emperor went to see Elder Sixteen, Concubine Wang Shu cried terribly."

Wu Anning could imagine it.

"She also begged the emperor to come back to you. At that time, Concubine Rong was also at the side, and the emperor agreed." If she didn't agree, how could Concubine Wang Shu live a good life in Concubine Rong's palace.

When Wu Anning was not in the palace, Concubine Wang Shu was quite favored in the palace, Kangxi thought she lost her son again, and gave up without thinking.

That's what happened.

Since he agreed, Kangxi must come over and have a talk with Wu Anning.

Presumably Wang Shufei now understands who is the real backer.

When she was pregnant at the beginning, if Wu Anning hadn't taken care of her carefully, how could she have survived for more than seven months, and she would still be attacked later, but someone framed her, unlike Concubine Rong, who didn't care about herself.

"The courtiers and concubines obey the emperor's will."

The Queen Mother nodded, because she had spent more time with Concubine Ning in Changchun Garden, she also saw something, for example, Concubine Ning was the only concubine master in charge of the first palace, the only one who did not have a servant The bedchamber exists.

In the future, she would rather not have another elder brother, and then drive out the concubine Wang Shu. In the Queen Mother's heart, this Concubine Ning is jealous.

Whether she is jealous or not, the queen mother doesn't care at all, because it has nothing to do with her, and the emperor doesn't need to care about her if he likes her.Now, the emperor has many heirs, and it's not that the emperor doesn't favor other concubines just because Concubine Ning is jealous, she doesn't even need to worry.

This time, the emperor is going to send the concubine Wang Shu back again. The queen mother thinks that Concubine Ning is trying her best to please her these days, and the grassland screen in her room is still seen every day, so she just mentioned a few words.

Now that Concubine Ning listened to the order without any conflict, the Queen Mother is relieved.

Jealousy is jealousy, but people are still smart people.

dusk.

Sure enough, Kangxi came to Danningju, where Wu Anning lived.

The concubine Wang didn't even mention anything about it. After watching Min'er and Yin Chan as usual, he talked to Wu Anning. Later, he listened to Wu Anning play the piano with great interest.

"Emperor Niang told you about the Wang family?"

Kangxi obviously closed his eyes to enjoy the melodious sound of the piano, when he suddenly said such a sentence.

Wu Anning's piano sound stopped abruptly.

However, it soon recovered, but the sound of the piano was not as smooth as before.

"Yes, the queen mother told the concubine."

"The Wang family is placed in Jingren Palace, and you don't spend many days in the palace every year."

Wu Anning didn't answer.

Kangxi opened his eyes and said, "Having lost your temper? Don't talk!"

Wu Anning said: "I've already been angry... Now I'm just thinking, there are more people in the palace, so I have to take good care of them. This is an errand given by you."

When Kangxi heard this, he immediately smiled.

How dare you be angry!
But when the anger was over, he couldn't afford to be angry.

"It's just a concubine, don't miss the rules, you don't need to be distracted to take care of it."

Wu Anning laughed inwardly.

"Yes." But she still had no choice but to agree.

"Brother Sixteen..."

Kangxi said calmly: "Don't mention it again in the future."

Wu Anning nodded.

The sixteenth elder brother's funeral is very simple, even if it is a prince who died young, the funeral is also very simple.What's more, even though he is called the sixteenth elder brother now, he has no ranking, so he is not included in the imperial jade list. In the future, the concubine will have another son, who will be the real sixteenth elder brother when he grows up and gets the ranking.

Wu Anning got the news from the palace, thinking about Kangxi's attitude, it really is that there are too many children, and he didn't care much about the death of one or two.
