Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 77

At the end of August, after a month and a half of northern tour, Wu Anning returned to the harem.

The Forbidden City had long received the news that Wu Anning wanted to be a concubine, because the concubine needs to be honored by the Ministry of Rituals. In addition, ceremonies, court clothes and crowns, etc., are also a series of cumbersome things.The imperial decree of Kangxi has been issued, so the Ministry of Rites naturally needs to make preparations early and calculate the date for the canonization ceremony.So, it's not a secret at all.

The yard that Wu Anning bought for Wu Yuanyi followed the news back to the capital, and it became extremely lively day by day. Even if the masters of this house were only an unmarried girl and a child, they couldn't stop the enthusiasm of others. .

Although the difference between concubine and concubine is only one level, there is also a gap between them.The concubine is known as the head of the first palace, but there is a lot of water in the middle. How many of the concubines and concubines are not living in the side palace?The position of concubine is the actual lord of a palace. There is no longer a book in her hand, but a seal. She can issue decrees, or order people to enter the palace for an audience. In the court, even the prime minister has to perform the rituals of the emperor and his ministers.Especially now that there is no empress but only one concubine, a concubine is one of the most honorable women in the world.

What's more, Concubine Ning has only been in the palace for a year... Who can say what will happen in the future!

Everyone knew in their hearts that this Concubine Ning's gold content was no worse than the other five concubines. In the future, Concubine Ning gave birth to a prince, and she might come from behind.Because Concubine Ning was the Prince's savior, they all vaguely heard that the Prince called Concubine Ning "Mother Concubine".This matter will never be erased, maybe it is not impossible for the prince to ascend the throne and respect Concubine Ning, who has saved her life, as the queen mother.

Huiyi Rongde's four concubines have sons to participate in politics. It's good, but how can each of them compare with the crown prince... In the future, don't these people have to live by the faces of the crown prince and Concubine Ning?The emperor has been the emperor for 31 years, and now the prince's status is extremely stable, and everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

Jiang Ning got the news that Li Jiashi, who had just given birth to a young daughter, had to go to Beijing in advance, because in addition to her daughter being named a concubine, the Holy Majesty also issued a plan to recruit Wuzhu Kingdom to Beijing before the year, and it was far away Since then, she has received requests from many families to marry her daughter Wu Luaner. Naturally, Li Jiashi couldn't sit still, so she planned to go to Beijing in advance.

Now people with a discerning eye know that the future of the Wu family is very good. They used to dislike Li Jia's because they took their daughter and left his family. The Li Jia family, who couldn't match it, even wanted to marry the most promising child in the family to Wu Luan'er. The grandmother who loved Li Jia's most also came out to speak out. Li Jia was also moved, but she didn't decide after all, because I have to ask Wu Anning and her own daughter. After all, Wu Luan'er will not come back in Beijing, so she suspects that the sisters have plans, so she can only borrow the palace to ask the empress what she means. Li Jia's grandmother also knows that stepmother is difficult. This time the imperial concubine is Li Jiashi's stepdaughter, they also know that Li Jiashi has a normal relationship with this stepdaughter, so they can only let it go temporarily.But I also discussed it clearly with Li Jiashi, if the empress has no other plans for Wu Luan'er, she will marry Wu Luan'er to her mother's family.

After Wu Luan'er received the news, she was dumbfounded.

Her cheap younger sister didn't marry Yongzheng, but married Kangxi, so she was named a concubine first than following Yongzheng?Looking at the four concubines, the most concubine Rong Hui took 16 years, the shortest concubine De was five years, and her younger sister became a concubine in just one year, Wu Luaner instinctively found it incredible.

Could it be that Kangxi really loves her sister?
Wu Luan'er suddenly had such an idea, and then her sister rescued the prince with all her might, Wu Luan'er couldn't help wondering whether her Wu family was tied to the prince's chariot.This is not good, Wu Anning concubine is a happy event, but she is even more worried.

Before Li Jiashi came to Beijing, Wu Luan'er first received a post from her biological father's house.Wu Luan'er's aunt, Tatara, came to visit.

Wu Luan'er learned from her memory that she and her mother, Li Jiashi, have nothing to do with Tatara's family. This aunt is the concubine of the head of the Li family who has fallen in the capital... and Anne, who died in the palace last year. Is this aunt's biological daughter?She pouted, An Concubine was a concubine after all, and she was her own cousin. When she had an accident, she didn't see An Concubine to ask about it, and she was even said to help her. Now this aunt sees the Wu family well, but It's time to come.

How can there be such a good thing!
If he had known that there was such a relationship with Concubine An in the palace, and Concubine An had also summoned her, as a concubine, wouldn't she be able to ask Concubine De to bestow her on the fourth elder brother?
Therefore, Wu Luan'er felt that since her biological father didn't ask for it, it's better to wait for her mother to come to Beijing.

Wu Luan'er was a person outside the palace, and An's concubine died because it was unlucky to die before the emperor's eldest grandson was full moon. Kangxi was disgusted and didn't even give her a funeral that fit her status as a concubine. He also complained that Kangxi was indeed the most ruthless emperor, and at the same time, Anpin's natal family didn't know it either.

If Wu Luan'er knew the real cause of An Pin's death, he would definitely tear up the post, and Tatara of the Li family would not post the post to beg for humiliation.

It's just because he didn't know, he just pulled his heart out, the Li family has already fallen, and if there is no related Wu family, there is really no place for him.

Li family.

He waited for a long time with La Shi Mingzhu, but he didn't see any news from the courtyard of the Wu family. The elderly Gang Atai, who was at the top, had a grim expression on his face.

The Li family has been severely suppressed this year. Everyone knows that the concubine An in the palace who can make them feel at ease has hindered the eyes of the emperor and the prince. They are about to leave the elite center on the top floor of the capital, how can they be reconciled.

Now, they want to catch up with Concubine Ning.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and their decline now is only equivalent to that of a family with a title in the past. In the eyes of outsiders, the Li family is still an aristocrat of the Han Army Banner, a wealthy family.I don't know how much more connections and wealth are there for a martial arts contestant to come.

Gang Atai’s father, Li Yongfang, is the son-in-law of Fuxi, and his pro-Enianggao Emperor Nurhachi’s granddaughter Duoluo Gege, the current emperor has to call Gang Atai’s Eniang a aunt, even though he is Ama Erniang Been dead for decades, but the connections are still there.In particular, the Li family was the first Ming general who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty earlier than Tong Yangzhen (the great-grandfather of Empress Xiaoyi). The connections on the website are really extraordinary.

The Wu family is just supported by the emperor and the prince, even if everything goes well, it will be difficult to reach their level without three to forty years.

The reason why the Li family is so anxious to vote for Concubine Ning is not because the emperor and the crown prince have disliked their Li family. Even the ancestors of the two dynasties could not support the emperors not to reuse them. After the two dynasties, the Li family might become ordinary people, so they couldn't help being in a hurry.Concubine Ning, who was liked by the emperor and also received great kindness from the crown prince, set up with him, and the dislike they had suffered before could be completely eliminated slowly.

The concubines are favored in the palace, and they have the right to have someone outside the palace. It will not be difficult for the Li family to prosper in the future.

"You go there yourself." Gang Atai said.

It's been a few years for him, but the three sons and grandson at the head of the family have not found a reliable arrangement, so he is not willing to close his eyes.

He and La Shi Mingzhu had always been afraid of this husband who was nearly 20 years older than her. Later, she gave birth to a daughter and became An Concubine. She dared not complain about her inability to straighten herself up, let alone tell her daughter.

"Yes."

Wu Luan'er frowned involuntarily after receiving the notice from his servants.

He actually came to the door in person.

Wu Yuanyi looked at Wu Luan'er strangely, and said, "Big sister, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Luan'er said: "An annoying relative came to the door."

Wu Yuanyi thought for a while and said: "My sister said that you can't use the word hate between relatives." This is what Wu Anning taught Wu Yuanyi, and the purpose is to make Wu Yuanyi a gentleman with a good character.

Wu Luan'er immediately laughed and said: "You are still young, you will understand later."

But it's really good to see you, you can push the post, but when the elders arrive at the door, they will be accused of refusing people outside the house. If her mother is there, and she is of the same generation as this aunt, it doesn't matter how she refuses people.

"My sister is going to meet someone, you stay in the house obediently."

Wu Yuanyi nodded, he has always been very good.

Wu Luan'er led people to the main room, and at a glance, she saw an old woman in her fifties sitting in the room, dressed in a low-key luxury, from the temperament point of view, it was not a temporary dress.It can be seen that although this aunt is the concubine of the Li family, she has always been pampered in her life.

"Luan'er met Mrs. Li." Wu Luan'er didn't call her aunt.

He and he pulled Mingzhu and quickly helped her up. This was the first time she saw the only blood of her brother raised by her. Although she was a girl, she really looked like her brother.But... he, Tara, really blamed his sister-in-law, Li Jiashi, for letting Li Jiashi kill her brother.

But as a woman, she is only a concubine, so what can she do?

Li Jiashi held the handle of his Tara family, once it was revealed, her husband Gang Artai would beat her to death.Because during the War of San Francisco more than ten years ago, the reason why Gang Atai was defeated was her father, He Ladachun's betrayal, but it was concealed later.

This news will reach the ears of the Li family. Not to mention that she was beaten to death, it is not impossible for the current Li family to kill him and his family, so no matter how resentful he is, he will not go to find her. The remarried sister-in-law is troublesome, not to mention the trouble of looking for her brother's blood.

"You are Luan'er, you really look like Ke Xinger."

Wu Luan'er was indifferent, Ke Xing'er was just the biological father of this body, and in his memory, this biological father didn't necessarily love her as a daughter very much.

Seeing this, he pulled Mingzhu and complained a little more to his sister-in-law Li Jiashi in his heart, making his niece ignore her biological father.

"Old Madam Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm young now and I can't do much. Don't mind." Wu Luan'er refused the aunt before she even spoke.

He pulls Mingzhu's face unchanged. In this matter, their Li family has no intention of wanting Wu Luan'er. Whether they can take refuge in Concubine Ning or not depends on the interests of both parties. Wu Luan'er is just for their Li family. It is just a pawn for Concubine Ning, and all decisions are left to Concubine Ning.

Immediately she said: "The Li family's direct line now has three houses, except for our third house, the second house's grandnephew Yuan Heng is in charge, and the fifth house is headed by his nephew Xinchun. We know that our family wants to come to Luan'er. Something happened, and the viscounts and errands that I earned before are gone. After the eldest family first waited for Baron Zhongxiang to go, the title of Yuanheng, the grandson of the head of the family, was gone. The governor of Jiangxi, now the owner of the big house, Yuan Heng, is the leader of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han army. The fifth house attacked Ama's title, and he would not surrender for three generations. The fifth brother Bayan made great contributions before his death and was promoted to a Wait for the Earl, now the head of the Wufang family is Xinchun, which is the Chengyi House..."

He told a lot of things about the Li family, and Wu Luan'er couldn't help but be terrified when he heard it. No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that the Li family was a giant!In a family as big as the Li family, concubine An actually didn't even have a concubine-style funeral because she offended the crown prince... She always thought that the crown prince was a loser and should not be taken seriously, but now, she felt like never before. Prince's terrible.

But... the other two families of the Li family still have titles and titles, real power and real power, but the Li family who came here today is unlucky, what are the good direct descendants going to do here instead of relying on it?
Although he, Tara, was afraid of Gang Atai in the mansion, but she had seen a lot as a side Fujin in such a glorious family, how could it be possible that Wu Luan'er, a little girl, couldn't tell that she was thinking so much.

In fact, Yuan Heng's family and Cheng Yi Bo's house also defaulted to let them cast an olive branch to Concubine Ning. Although they still have the title and strength, but now the emperor is arbitrary, and what they have, the emperor can take back all of them with a word. How dare they take action to help let Gang Artai's house return to real power.

Nowadays, the power of the dynasty is concentrated, and this relative is much more useful than the credits handed down by their ancestors.What's more, in terms of their real power and titles, they are really small among the many princes, counties, princes, and princes in the capital, and they also need to exploit.When Concubine An was still in the palace, even if she was not favored, the life of the third wife would be easier, not to mention Concubine Ning who would be favored in the future... It is conceivable that she might usher in a soaring future.

Capable people, their Li family actually doesn't lack, what they lack is opportunities.

"Luan'er, in a few days, the Concubine Ning's Concubine Conferment Ceremony, the Yuanheng family and the family members of Cheng Yibo's mansion will all be of high rank. If you have a chance, please send a letter to the concubine."

Wu Luan'er couldn't help being startled, this is the rhythm of the Li family wanting to seek refuge with the cheap sister.

Can such a big family rely on a concubine?This is too unrealistic!Didn't it mean that Emperor Kangxi would favor his concubines because of their family background?No matter how favored a concubine from a low family background is, she is also a concubine without roots?
That was what had to be done before Kangxi was in power and when the Qing Dynasty had an unstable foothold in Han. Few of the real emperors would be controlled by their courtiers. what kind of status.

This is a big matter, Wu Luan'er felt that she could not make the decision, she just let her speak.

"I see, I mentioned it to her."

He and he pulled Mingzhu to breathe a sigh of relief, as long as she mentioned it, her mission would be considered complete.

However, when she came today, there was another personal matter that had nothing to do with Li Shi, but something about his family and wanted to tell this niece.

She gestured to Wu Luan'er, Wu Luan'er was in shock because of the fact that Mrs. Li was going to seek refuge, and seeing her now, she couldn't help but care about this cheap aunt's important secrets, so she obediently told all the servants in the house Swinging back, I have to say, Wu Luan'er is too tender, he is led by the nose by him and Mingzhu.

"Luan'er, I heard from Mrs. An that you want to marry Elder Brother?"

Wu Luan'er was startled, how did she know, by the way, Concubine An... how did Concubine An know?And isn't Anpin dead?

He pulled Mingzhu to see Wu Luan'er like this, he knew it, it seemed that his daughter's inquiry was true.

When Anpin was still in the palace last year, she still had a chance to meet her. This was revealed by her. Now that he thinks about it, Mingzhu thinks it might be an opportunity for his family.Concubine Ning in the palace belongs to the Wu family, and has nothing to do with the Taala family. What is the use to the Taala family? Luan'er is different, she is the daughter of the Taula family.

"Concubine Ning sent you out of the palace because of this idea, didn't she?"

Wu Luan'er's eyes flickered.

"Luan'er, in fact, Concubine Ning's biological sister cannot marry Elder Brother, but you are not Concubine Ning's biological sister. Your surname is Tatara, and Concubine Ning is so favored now, I promise you to go back to Tatarala's house to propose marriage It's not difficult!"

Wu Luan'er's face changed slightly when she heard this, she almost gave up the idea of ​​marrying the fourth elder brother, but now she is given another chance!
