Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 57

Huang Quanlu is the eunuch supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has various official positions. There are serious officials as well as those directly under the royal family. There are also eunuchs like him. Although he is a eunuch, he also has great power Right, even the minister in charge has to give him some face, because the place he is in charge of is directly linked to the harem.

How powerful the harem is, it is difficult for anyone to give a correct result, but everyone has to admit that the influence of the harem sometimes exceeds that of some internal ministers.

The Minister of Internal Affairs can't interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the harem definitely can. I really dislike the empresses in the harem, even if they are not officials associated with the harem, these empresses can find all kinds of ways to break people.

Therefore, although Huang Quanlu is an eunuch, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has great power. Basically, except for the emperor, the rest of the things and manpower will be kept in the harem first, and then the princes and royal families.

Huang Quanlu sat in this position, and at the same time he was the most well-informed. The eunuchs who deal with the harem are usually the confidantes of the emperor, empress or queen mother, and Huang Quanlu is no exception. He was originally promoted by Empress Xiaoyi, because Empress Xiaoyi He was in charge of the harem for the longest time. Later, Empress Xiaoyi died. He was also a smart man. He listened to the noble concubine and the fourth concubine and acted according to the rules, which satisfied the emperor. So, until now, his position is extremely secure.

He is also very concerned about the situation in the harem.

When Concubine Ning was still a nobleman, the Imperial Dining Room used to delay Concubine Ning's food because of Concubine Zhaojia, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs never shortened Concubine Ning's expenses. The result also proved that his decision was not wrong. No matter how powerful the limelight was at the time, and with a big backer like Concubine Hui, it couldn't stop Concubine Ning's favor in the end.

Concubine Ning was just a nobleman before, and it was inconvenient for him, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to come over to show his favor, but now he finally got the chance.

Huang Quanlu is a utilitarian person. Although he is still in this position now, he also knows that because he listens to the noble concubine and the fourth concubine, but they are not theirs. He understands that if he makes a mistake one day, the emperor will have If he is dissatisfied, his position will be lost. Which empress in the harem doesn't want the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be replaced by her own?

What he can do is to keep showing favor to the favored and high-ranking concubines, make sure they understand that his heart is biased towards them, and then let them restrain each other, after all, it is better to let one person's confidant occupy the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs position, it is better to let him stay in such a position, because he is also obedient.

Now that Concubine Ning has a position and enough favors, she will soon be consolidated by Ago Gege and won the favor of the crown prince. Huang Quanlu has already placed her in the same level as the fourth concubine in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs and maids who are the best trained in the palace are all on the booklet. If your Majesty likes them, you can choose more candidates and just tell the servant, and the servant will bring someone to pay your respects to your majesty right away."

Wu Anning looked at the brochure on it, there were nearly a hundred names on it, and behind each name was age and what he was good at, especially some of the palace ladies had some family official positions marked behind them.

From this booklet, it can be seen that Huang Quanlu is showing his favor to her, and it can also be known that he is not someone from the imperial concubine or the fourth concubine. Someone came over to let her choose, and among the twenty or thirty people, there might be quite a few recruited by his master, it will depend on whether Wu Anning's method can get rid of them.

Wu Anning looked at ten lines at a glance. After reading it, she slowly put down the brochure and said, "Since Guanshi Huang has come in person, there is no need to bother, and Guanshi Huang will pick out the most honest and dutiful ones and send them over."

Huang Quanlu felt that the words "honesty and duty" that Concubine Ning said were accentuated, and he knew it in his heart.This is to completely accept his overtures, and at the same time give him a further intimacy, let him pick people, if the people he picks are all clean, then he will really be able to get closer to Concubine Ning in the future, if he has other Thought, if you send someone who is dishonest, then you have to weigh it carefully, no one can guarantee that this favored concubine Ning has no ability to get him out of the House of Internal Affairs.

"The servant must do his best to live up to the entrustment of the empress."

Wu Anning nodded slightly, and then asked someone to give him a big reward.

Huang Quanlu also took over completely, and it is only reassuring to accept the reward.

After sending the person away, Yun Ping was doing his own thing silently, but Fu Lu was a little hesitant to speak. Such a good opportunity, he didn't pick someone, but let Huang Quanlu send someone in, that's really unreliable .

Huang Quanlu is still not clear to him?

It's just a villain, who didn't treat him and Master He Qigong as human beings at all before, and they could only get a little bit of distribution from his subordinates. How could such a villain send people over? ?Who knows if he will send people in because those court ladies and eunuchs gave him too much money?
But Fu Lu couldn't say it out, He Qigong stopped him.

After all, Fu Lu is still young, and he doesn't see things comprehensively. He thinks Ning Concubine's move is the best way.

Huang Quanlu is a villain, but he is also the smartest person. Empress Xiaoyi died and no one took refuge in him. How could he dare to offend his favored master?No matter what, he had to pick some clean palace servants to come in.Moreover, the master said so, telling Huang Quanlu her trust, is it also a disguised wooing?

The master is not the noble concubine and the fourth concubine. The noble concubine and the fourth concubine were shrinking under Empress Xiaoyi back then. He is completely regarded as a confidant, and some are just used.But the master is different, the master has nothing to do with Empress Xiaoyi, let alone has any offense against him, Huang Quanlu, and she has shown such trust, it is impossible not to take Huang Quanlu's considerations to heart.

It can be said that if one day, the master has the opportunity to intervene in the power of the harem like the fourth concubine, Huang Quanlu will have a much higher chance of joining the master than other veteran fourth concubines and noble concubines.

Wu Anning yawned, and said: "The people will bring them over later, Yun Ping and He Qigong, you can make good arrangements, and you don't have to come to see me today."

He Qigong hurriedly agreed.

After Yun Ping answered, he looked at Wu Anning and said, "Your Majesty wants to rest now?"

Wu Anning nodded, she had experienced a lot yesterday, and today she was with Kangxi, and the prince Li Jia sent someone to ask for an interview, plus Kangxi's reward and imperial decree, and then received Huang Quanlu, she couldn't lie down again. .

Yun Ping said: "The imperial doctor is coming to ask for pulse, is your lady..."

Wu Anning asked strangely, "I haven't recruited an imperial physician?"

Even if she is pregnant, she doesn't ask the imperial physician to check her pulse every day.

"Today, the emperor asked the servants to invite the imperial physician to show the empress."

In fact, when Kangxi was staying overnight yesterday, he smelled the faint aroma of Wu Anning, and it was the aroma of spices, and he knew that Wu Anning did not use spices when she was pregnant, so the extra scent, Asked Kangxi to ask, this morning, he called Wu Anning, Wu Anning hadn't woken up, and it took him a long time to wake him up, Kangxi gave such an order.
