Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 49

The Empress Dowager's birthday was not last year's entire birthday, so there was no big banquet.But even so, there were many decrees and Fujin who entered the palace to celebrate their birthdays.

In the morning, Kangxi ignored court affairs and took the prince to Ningshou Palace to accompany the queen mother.

After sitting for a long time, Kangxi brought the crown prince away after presenting congratulatory gifts, in order to facilitate the concubines, Fujin and Gaoming to celebrate the queen mother's birthday.

Those who can enter the palace are all the masters of the harem, and the rest of them will go to the palace to pay their respects.

There were so many people, if Wu Anning wasn't very favored, the Empress Dowager would not know who Wu Anning was after this batch of birthday greetings passed by.

However, the Queen Mother remembered Wu Guiren before, not to mention that Wu Guiren is pregnant now, which is even more eye-catching.

After Wu Anning celebrated her birthday with the five nobles who were traveling with her, the queen mother spoke.

"Your Majesty Wu stay here and talk to Ai's family." The words that blurted out were in Mongolian, obviously the Queen Mother was too happy and didn't realize that what she was speaking was in Mongolian which Wu Anning could not understand.

Wu Anning understood it completely. Ever since Ningshou Palace met the Queen Mother that day, Wu Anning asked Kangxi for the opportunity to learn Manchu and Mongolian. It was a one-month opportunity. Wu Anning's language talent also made Kangxi interested. After the inspection, I was amazed.

Concubine Hui couldn't help pursing the corners of her mouth, it would be nice if nobleman Wu retreated now.

Concubine Yi didn't seem to hear, Concubine Rong was as usual, Concubine De lowered her head slightly and took a sip of tea, Concubine Ping and Concubine Tong looked at Wu Anning, Concubine Xi played with her fingernails, Concubine An, Duan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Rong were like , without any expression.

The second noble concubine Wen Xi who sat at the bottom saw everything, and she was about to speak.

But seeing the nobleman Wu blessed his body, he walked gently to the side and lowered his head.

Obviously understood, countless caring eyes turned to nobleman Wu, Wu Anning's face remained normal.

The queen mother asked Wu Anning to sit down again, and Wu Anning followed suit.

The empress dowager, who was belatedly aware, suddenly understood, and said, "Master Wu can speak Mongolian?"

Wu Anning said respectfully: "The concubine has learned a few days ago, but it's very superficial, and she can't be listed in the elegant hall." This is in Mongolian.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help being happy, talking about the people in the palace, who could speak Mongolian with her without any hindrance, and half of the concubines in these positions knew it or not.Because in Ningshou Palace, most of them speak Manchu, and Manchu, except for some Han concubines, can almost speak Manchu.

Therefore, for the queen mother, if she can speak Mongolian and learn Mongolian, the queen mother will naturally like it more than those who can't learn it, although her liking has little effect.Kangxi still likes what he should like, and what he shouldn't like, and he will not change because of the queen mother's liking.

"From now on, I will often come to Ningshou Palace to talk with Ai's family." The queen mother said with a smile.

Wu Anning didn't take this matter as a real matter, he just agreed to it, as for whether he can't make it through in the future, it depends on the future situation.

The birthday worship continued. After the concubines in the harem went up to the noble concubine and agreed to the concubine's birthday, they would be the prince Fujin in the palace. There were only three prince Fujin, and the queen mother also kept them. Wu Anning sat in Sanfujin this time. the top of the head.

Opposite her is Dafujin, and below Dafujin is Sifujin.

The prince does not have a concubine, and his Fang Fujin is due to give birth in this month. He is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the queen mother also exempted her from the gift, so Li Jia's Fang Fujin did not come.The eldest elder brother Yinyi and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen have not yet joined the Fujin, and the third elder brother Yinzhi has a side Fujin, but the third elder brother is not the prince, and the queen mother did not stay with the Tian family at all. go back.

Sanfujin has always been in a good mood after Tian's departure. She was originally a talkative person. Before, she was able to talk to the concubine Jing who was sitting next to her. Now she is next to Wu Anning. When the people above her are talking with the Queen Mother, I also want to talk to Wu Anning.

Concubine Rong above seemed to see through this daughter-in-law's temperament completely, and glared at Sanfujin the moment she raised her head. Sanfujin shut her mouth involuntarily, thinking of Concubine Rong's previous warning.

She didn't understand why it was wrong for her to talk to someone?She didn't have bad rules, let alone offended her. As the third elder brother, Fujin, wouldn't it be better to have a good relationship with other concubines?In the future, it may be able to give San Age a boost.

As time went on, the Fujins of the clan and the princesses in Beijing came dressed according to their grades, and the Ningshou Palace was even more lively. Many old Fujins and older princesses came over, and several empty seats were added to the Empress Dowager's side. Chairs, it's not that they are more noble than imperial concubines, but that they are elders, and the queen mother has to talk to them, so they have to avoid it.

Because of this, Wu Anning met a lot of people here. Later, Sanfujin couldn't help but talk. Wu Anning learned a lot of gossip about the palace from Sanfujin. Prince Lao Fujin was worried about not having a grandson, so he forced Prince Zhuang Fujin to take many concubines for Prince Zhuang... One by one, Wu Anning suddenly felt that San Fujin really liked her.

Because she brought a lot of outside things to Wu Anning, so it was just some trivial things in the backyard, but it might not be necessary in the future.

However, Wu Anning also somewhat understood that Concubine Rong had to look back at her daughter-in-law's mood from time to time.

I heard that these three Fujin were the daughter-in-laws that Concubine Rong had chosen from thousands of times and begged for a long time.San Fujin's father is the daughter of Zhenghongqi Dutong and Yongqin Gong Pengchun, both of whom belong to Yipin and have real power. According to later generations, he is the supreme commander-in-chief of the First Army.

The Eight Banners of Manzhou was fundamental to the Qing Dynasty, and all the banners were unified. It is conceivable how prominent Sanfujin's background was.More importantly, those who can achieve the position of governor are almost all the confidantes of the emperor's confidantes, otherwise they would not be in this position.

Sanfujin is from a good background and looks good, that is to say, he is more active. If there is no comparison with the dignified and respectful Sifujin, Concubine Rong will not keep staring at this daughter-in-law. After all, Sanfujin is only fourteen years old. It's big.

It's a pity that Concubine Rong is not very satisfied with Sifujin who has a perfect Fujin fan.

For this, Sanfujin doesn't like Sifujin either.

Seeing Sifujin sitting there dignifiedly, Concubine Rong looked at herself warningly again, Sanfujin felt slightly relieved.

Then he said to Wu Anning: "The fourth younger brother and sister are really virtuous people. I heard that she brought three concubines to the fourth elder brother. Li Gege, who was favored before, has now become a dead tree. I was shocked when I saw it. Li Gege is such a good-looking person!"

Wu Guiren could only listen and would not say anything.

But Sanfujin is also interesting. It says that Sifujin is virtuous, but it also implies that Sifujin is not really virtuous.

"The fourth sibling is also true. What's the point of competing with Gege? It's just a man's toy. When you get tired of it, you throw it away. For one thing, you can carry out three things. Only the fourth brother and sister can make it."

Wu Anning still just listened, not answering.

Her voice is also low, only Wu Anning can hear it, San Fujin is also very courageous, and she is not afraid of being heard by Wu Anning.

However, Sanfujin was really not afraid, she didn't say anything, all she said was that Gege was just a joke.As for being afraid of Four Fujin?What is she afraid of? Her husband doesn't like Si elder brother always following behind the prince. What is Sifujin to her?Like it or hate it, Sanfujin doesn't care.

The time of birthday greetings was quite boring, there was a Sanfujin talking in her ear, Wu Anning remembered all the birthday worshipers here, while listening to her talk, she felt that the time passed easily.

After Sanfujin talked about it, he asked Wu Anning about Youxi without taboo, and then asked Wu Anning how to get pregnant in such a short period of time... This is really abrupt, but if it gets out, no one will I wouldn't say that San Fujin was wrong, it's just asking for a son... As the prince Fujin, I asked some questions in order to prolong his heirs.

San Fujin was really envious as she talked. She and San Elder Brother have been married for almost half a year, but there is no news about the happy event. If she has a child, her mother-in-law will not often talk about Si Fujin for her to learn from. up.

Sifujin is simply a fake Taoism and fake virtuousness.

Seeing that nobleman Wu lowered his head, and his face was a little red, Sanfujin stopped talking, she would naturally look at people's faces when she liked to talk, and this nobleman's expression was obviously inconvenient to answer.

At the moment, Sanfujin was a little disappointed.

"From the third family, what did you say to nobleman Wu, she didn't dare to look at you anymore." The empress dowager, who was far away, noticed it, and noble concubine Wen Xi asked.

Sanfujin got up quickly, and Wu Anning also got up.

San Fujin said generously: "My daughter-in-law heard that Mrs. Wu is happy, so I asked her a few more words about the magic method."

All the people present understood what San Fujin meant, and they all covered their mouths and snickered. They were all a group of women. Everyone understood this topic, and at most they could say that San Fujin was eager to have a child.

Concubine Wen Xi also had a smile on her face, looking at Mr. Wu Guiren, she said: "It's fine to ask in private, not to mention that you are empty-handed now, it's not the attitude to ask someone, you... go to Yongshou Palace another day Visit and visit."

Concubine Wen Xi is helping Wu Anning, who made her pregnant now, and she has just concentrated the palace power in her hands, so she can't ignore the embarrassment of the "favorite concubine".

Sanfujin knew the truth and said, "The imperial concubine is right."

The queen mother also nodded, Wu Anning and Sanfujin blessed the body together, and the two returned to their positions.

Because of this, there are also a few Princesses of Fujin who inquired about Wu Anning privately in this room. Wu Anning's ears were sharp, and they all heard clearly. The status of the Fujins who were left in the Ningshou Palace by the Queen Mother is also extraordinary. For them, only the lord of the palace can catch their eyes.

Suddenly feeling a strong gaze, Wu Anning pretended not to see it, and picked up the teacup to cover up his upward gaze.

It's Sifujin on the opposite side.

Wu Anning turned sideways, put down the teacup, made it again, and looked at Sifujin.

Si Fujin, who had been sitting upright, smiled at her and nodded slightly. Seeing this, San Fujin couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Wu Anning looked away.

Instinctively, she felt that Sifujin was an existence that she could not get along with.

Seeing that Wu Anning was talking to San Fujin again, Sifujin looked away, slowly raised her fingers with her fingernails, and tapped her knee slightly, which was her habit of deep thinking.

A birthday greeting lasted until noon.

The Empress Dowager was also tired, and Concubine Wen Xi ordered Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui to send people to send the Fujin princesses out of the palace, and to send all the concubines back.

There is also a family dinner in the evening.

The family banquet is the highlight, and the concubines' competition for favor will be most vividly displayed on it. However, without the promotion from above, it would be difficult to show up on it.

The birthday gift has already been delivered, and now the people in Ningshou Palace have dispersed, and I don't know if they saw it.

As long as the queen mother sees it, she thinks the queen mother will like it, because even if the screen is not from her hometown, it is still a shocking work.

But when Wu Anning and San Fujin were sitting so far back today during birthday greetings, the Queen Mother remembered to look at her, which showed that she would never forget to ask her questions.As long as he sees... it depends on Kangxi's heart, as long as he still remembers what she said before, this time, it is a good reason.

Wu Anning once told him that she would live and die with him, but only hoped to be closer to him. She also said that as a child who has never had a mother, she would not be willing to leave her child, as long as he has the feeling of pity for her. Heart, this time she will be fulfilled.

He has shown her great favor these days, but it doesn't seem like he has no pity.

This time, she originally only wanted to show off and please the Queen Mother, but now she gave Kangxi another reason.It is true that Kangxi does not need the slightest reason to be promoted to whoever he likes, but this reason just happened to be in front of him, and it is a matter of course for him to follow suit.

Wu Anning has only been in the palace for two months, and his family background is not high. It is well known that he rarely receives awards, and if there is no reason, people will think that he is bewildered by women.Although he didn't care, he would be more happy if he didn't think so.

If it really fails this time, Wu Anning can only plan carefully to further disturb Kangxi's heart.

She will not be willing to stay in the position of a little nobleman for many years, Kangxi is really going to do this, and she doesn't mind finding a way to send him to the west after she has an elder brother.As a concubine, a concubine who is younger than the prince does not have a chance to be on the throne...

Wu Yan is also a talented person of Taizong... isn't he?

Perhaps she, Wu Anning, had the same ancestor as Wu Yan thousands of years ago.The current atmosphere is not as good as in Tang Dynasty, but with the position of concubine, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne and has no children, he plots that the prince will raise her children, and then learn from Zhao Guangyi, this road is not more difficult than the road of Wulong.

At sunset, Wu Anning went to Chuxiu Palace, where the family banquet was held.

The family banquet in the palace is the concubines, the prince Fujin and the princesses.

When Wu Anning arrived, many people had already gathered here.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi had already arranged their seats, Wu Anning was at the head of all the nobles, because she was pregnant, this period of time was indeed the most precious.Next to Wu Anning is Ding Guiren, the biological mother of the twelfth elder brother Yinti. The status of Ding nobleman is not enough to raise the child, but the twelfth elder brother was not handed over to any concubine to be raised, but was raised by La Aunt Su Ma.Dinggui seems to have a kind of Buddha-nature, and it seems that he was influenced by Lagu Su Ma, who has already believed in Buddhism.

"Er Niang." She also brought Yinlin, who was under six years old, over. Although Yinlin was raised by Aunt Su Ma, she had the same mother-child relationship with Mrs. Dinggui. La Aunt Su Ma knew her identity very well and did not care about her He will stop Yinxuan from meeting with Dinggui.

"How is your Aunt Aza?"

Azhagu is Lagu Suma, Yinfei's unique name for her.

"Aunt Azha is in good health, and she asked me to bring a congratulatory gift."

Dinggui touched Yinlin, saw Wu Anning looking at Yinlin, and then smiled at Wu Anning.

Wu Anning looked away with some reluctance, this Yinbi has spiritual roots!
Spiritual roots, Wu Anning's heart is shaking like never before, do people here also have spiritual roots?
Immortal cultivation requires spiritual roots, so once a child in the world of cultivating immortals reaches the age of six, their destiny is determined. The spiritual roots will not be revealed until they are six years old. At the seventh year, if there is no spiritual energy added to the body, there will be no spiritual energy.

And if there is aura revealed a few months before the six-year-old, it is a person with outstanding talent.Only when the aura overflows, can one have the opportunity to touch the spirit plate, and then measure the aptitude of cultivating immortals.

This Yinxuan will only be six years old in one month, but his whole body is overflowing with aura, which is obviously the appearance when his spiritual root is revealed, which shows that his spiritual root aptitude is very high.

Ordinary people can't see the aura, but Wu Anning is practicing her own mental method, and needs all spiritual things such as spirit grass and pills to assist in the cultivation. As soon as the Yin is close, Wu Anning's mental method will start to operate. What does it mean, it can only mean that the aura of Yin's spirit root is overflowing.

It's just that it is impossible for Wu Anning to teach Yinlin to cultivate immortality. After the age of seven, if Yinlin fails to entice the spirit to retain the spirit root, the spirit root will turn into spirit energy and dissipate because of this year, and he will no longer have the qualifications to cultivate immortality.In the world of cultivating immortals, once the aura of the spiritual root is found to be overflowing, there will be a general method of entraining the aura to enter the body, so that the aura of the spiritual root will no longer overflow, and it will be completely transformed into the five-element fairy root, thus embarking on the road of cultivating immortals.

And here, there is no way to entrain qi.

Wu Anning felt a little pity in his heart, but his mind remained the same, what does this have to do with her.However, since Yinqian has a spiritual root, Wu Anning also began to have some expectations in her heart... Perhaps, her child will also have a chance?

"The queen mother is here, the emperor is here, and the prince is here."

Before you know it, everyone is here.

Kangxi helped the queen mother come together, and the prince Yinfeng followed behind.

After the queen mother took her seat, Kangxi sat down, and the prince was last.

The queen mother smiled and said: "We are all a family, no courtesy."

"Thank you Empress Dowager, thank you Your Majesty."

During the day, the female relatives celebrate birthdays, and at night, the prince and princess express their filial piety. Yinzhen, who is as old as the elder brother, and as young as three years old, also walks to the center of the hall, presenting gifts and congratulating the queen mother in a milky voice. life.

The queen mother smiled happily, happier than in the daytime.

After celebrating the birthday, there was singing and dancing, arranged by Concubine Hui and Yifei, singing and dancing, opera and martial arts were all lined up, and the prince even went on stage in person to entertain his relatives with colorful clothes, and told the queen mother to say "good boy" happily.

Similarly, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi also arranged for their own people to perform songs and dances in order to compete for favor.

Zhaojia agreed... Concubine Hui still didn't give up.

Looking at her charming appearance dancing the Mongolian dance on it, I really learned a lot, seeing the queen mother happy, the emperor has to give face, right?

Everyone couldn't help looking at Wu Anning, but they saw her smiling, obviously she also liked the Mongolian dance that Zhao Jia promised.

When Zhaojia agreed to finish the dance, the queen mother smiled and appreciated Zhaojia's agreement, and then said to Kangxi: "This year's birthday saw a lot of grassland objects, everyone is interested."

There have been before, but never this many.

Kangxi smiled and said: "The most important thing is that Huang'er Niang is happy. If there is a northern tour, I would like to serve Huang'er Niang Grassland and her party."

When the queen mother heard it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The emperor has a heart. The Ai family is old and has already adapted to the capital, so they will not go to the grassland." Empress Dowager Xiaohui understands. Now that the emperor no longer accepts the concubine of the grassland, it can be seen that he does not want the harem to be with the grassland again. There is something involved, she is sensitive as the empress dowager, so she should not go.

"With the prairie screen of Mr. Wugui, I look up every day, as if I have gone back." The queen mother continued.

Wu Anning was certain that the Queen Mother had seen it, and she liked it more deeply than she had imagined.

The queen mother mentioned Wu Anning, and everyone looked at her.

Kangxi is very satisfied with the decision made by the Queen Mother. Although he can completely control it, and nothing will happen to the Queen Mother during the northern tour, but the Queen Mother does not want to give the grassland a chance to take advantage of it, and his respect for the Queen Mother has increased a bit. .

"Emperor Niang is so pleased with Wu's birthday gift, I have to reward her." Kangxi said to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager nodded. Originally, she had no expectations for Mr. Wu Guiren's screen, but today she thought about it, and at that glance, her mind was completely absorbed. At the second glance, she had already decided to put the screen next to her bed. Watching it every day, I woke up as if I had returned to the yurt.

"She is caring. It's hard for her to take so much trouble because she has a dragon fetus. The emperor means to reward Zhenghe and Ai's family." The queen mother liked it so much that she even took the initiative to speak for Wu Anning.

Everyone was shocked.

They counted carefully, the queen mother spoke for empress Renxiao and concubine Yi, she also spoke for the grandson and granddaughter of the emperor, and today she actually spoke for nobles like this!
Is that screen really that good?
Everyone was surprised and envious.Mrs. Wu is very capable, she has been favored, and now the Queen Mother likes her...

"Since the emperor's mother said so, can I enroll her as a concubine according to the order of the emperor's mother?" Kangxi calmly said a word that was enough to shock the harem.
When the words came out, the whole house was silent.

The concubine can be the master. For so many years, the chief concubine has been canonized collectively when the harem was enshrined, except for the 18th year of Kangxi when the noble concubine won the favor of the empress dowager and made an exception to hold a concubine for her alone. canonized!
After so many years, is there another chance to be canonized alone?
De concubine gave birth to the fourth elder brother, but today's nobleman Wu has not given birth to anything... Or is she the daughter of a local official with a low status in the Han army flag, and she has only been in the palace for two months, and she is about to be registered as a concubine?Even more unreasonable than that of Debi!

The queen mother was also taken aback, she didn't expect the emperor to come out like this.

But then seeing the slight smile on the corner of Kangxi's mouth, she changed her mind, thinking that the nuns around her these days said in her ear that this nobleman is very favored, and she soon understood.The emperor borrowed her words by the way, to give grace to his beloved nobleman?
