Concubine Ning of the Wu family of Kangxi

Chapter 79

It took half a month to return to the harem from outside the Great Wall, and the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites for canonization was at the beginning of October.

There was a period of one and a half months in the middle. Compared with the previous canonization, Wu Anning did not allow people around her to mention Ning Concubine. This time, because after Kangxi called Ning Concubine at the last banquet outside the Great Wall, all her standard treatment has also changed. Imperial concubine.

The car back to Beijing was the same as that of Concubine De, and because Wu Anning often accompanied her, her car even walked in front of Concubine De.

It is much more useful for Wu Anning to dispatch the slaves around Kangxi than Concubine De.

After returning to the palace, waves of nuns and eunuchs in charge went to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects. Huang Quanlu, the eunuch in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, voted for Wu Anning immediately.

For the sake of the future, Huang Quanlu had to find a master for himself. In the past, Concubine Ning was only Concubine Ning, and he was moved. Now that Concubine Ning was named so quickly, there is almost credit for avoiding death. Concubine Ning is already a concubine. Very solid backing.

Huang Quanlu was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he often went in and out of the palace, and he was very well informed about the news inside and outside the palace.

In the past, Wu Anning had to wait for Wu Luan'er's letter to find out about Wu Zhai's affairs. Now that Huang Quanlu is here, Huang Quanlu sent someone to tell Wu Anning what happened that day.

The natal family of the dead concubine An went to look for Wu Luan'er, and which families in this capital city went to Wu Zhai as guests.

Wu Zhai is a house that Gu Wenxing arranged according to Kangxi's wishes. Wu Luan'er and Tatara Mingzhu were discussing in the room again. Huang Quanlu was well-informed, but he was not well-informed enough to hear the news inside. However, Huang Quanlu was also a smart person. He told Master Ning to all the people who visited Wuzhai to show his intentions.

Wu Anning pondered, the person who was looking for Wu Luan'er was Wu Luan'er's aunt, no matter what it was, she didn't know now, but Wu Anning also knew the origin of Wu Zhai, so she understood what Li's family was talking about going to Wu Zhai, Kangxi I must know it too.

Now that Kangxi knows, Wu Anning is not in a hurry, because it has nothing to do with her now, as long as it is not a major matter of treason and regicide, without Wu Anning's knowledge, she has no need to worry about the fire burning on her.

Thinking of this, Wu Anning directly asked the servant sent by Huang Quanlu to deliver the case to go back empty-handed, she didn't need to order anything.

Wu Anning pretended not to know, and continued to live a "peaceful" life in the palace, reading books, embroidering flowers, playing with Min'er, and cultivating a little bit of zhenqi that was not known to the public.Since returning to the palace, except for occasionally going out to greet the queen mother, she usually stays behind closed doors.

On the contrary, there are quite a few harem masters who want to pay respects to Wu Anning. Wu Anning has seen Yuan Guiren, Concubine Zhang Jia and other concubines with children. She didn't let them in because of the noble concubine Zhang Jia These few came here for friendship with Wu Anning, those young and fresh, although they intended to seek refuge, but more because of the few days after returning to the palace, during the day when Kangxi was busy with political affairs, he would go directly from Fengcai Gate Entering Yongshou Palace, as soon as the Fengcai Gate was opened, Yongshou Palace and Qianqing Palace were the closest places in the harem. Kangxi made it easier for him to come and go, and he also liked Wu Anning. The few days he returned to the palace were almost all the days when Wu Anning was alone.

Perhaps it can be said that since Wu Anning 'lived', Wu Anning has always been favored alone, and Concubine De is also on the way back to Beijing, but Wu Anning is always with Kangxi, unlike on the North Tour, Concubine De was also served several times.

However, Concubine De has always been the person who made Kangxi feel at ease. Not only did she not feel unhappy at all, but she also became closer to Wu Anning, and at the same time, she did not let the news that Kangxi favored Concubine Ning alone spread. , Concubine De received a heavy reward, which gave Concubine De enough to be decent.

Concubine De is a smart person.

On the way back to Beijing, there was no news for half a month. This time, it was only five days since I returned to the palace. Various messages were spread all over the harem. I can't get used to it, Concubine De can bear it and can "agree" smartly, other people in the harem don't have such a good temper.

But when the news got out, Wu Anning ignored it, and they couldn't do anything about it, and she didn't pursue virtue and fame.What's more, in the current dynasty, Kangxi has enough heirs, and the prince has an eldest son, and it is impossible for the courtiers to control the powerful emperor anymore.The emperor will only favor whoever he favors alone, so they will not lose their eyes and make admonitions like the previous dynasty.

After a few days of rumors, Wu Anning still got along well with Kangxi as if nothing happened. After all, Kangxi heard some gossip. He hated such things that wanted to use speech to win favor, so he asked Gu Wenxing to kill a few false masters Kangxi also reprimanded the noble concubine for not strictly governing the palace, which made the noble concubine Wen Xi quite aggrieved.

She has just obtained the palace power. In the past, the palace power was in the hands of the fourth concubine, and the fourth concubine had been managing it for a long time. How could she control it in such a short time, and the palace power was only temporarily controlled by her, and it would be handed over sooner or later. In fact, she did not focus on.

This time Concubine Ning's bad reputation in the harem is because she can't control it, and she is always a little uncomfortable in her heart. Who knows, Kangxi, who has never cared about the harem affairs, even pursued it, and even ate her. Rebuke, can she not be wronged?
Wu Anning got the news that Kangxi reprimanded the imperial concubine, and she still played the qin leisurely. The qin music is an ancient one, played elegantly, and Wu Anning played it for her daughter.Min'er, who has been four months old now, is more and more active, and can only be quiet when listening to Wu Anning playing the piano, watching Wu Anning play the piano with wet eyes, with her little finger on her lips, the cutest thing.

When Wu Anning stopped and Min'er was hugged by her, her little hand wanted to touch the strings.

"Gege will definitely be a talented woman in the future."

After hearing Qiutong's words, Wu Anning looked indifferently, Qiutong finally mustered up the courage to say such a sentence.

Ever since Concubine Ning narrowly escaped death, she never ordered her to do anything again. Yun Ping was busy going around and didn't pay much attention to her, so she felt more and more frightened. Just a little news, because she still has to wait for news from Manager Gu.Manager Gu told her to wait, but now that they have all returned to the palace, Manager Gu still hasn't heard the result, and she is a little scared.

Today, Fulu smiled and said that the imperial concubine had been reprimanded by the emperor, and Qiu Tong felt more and more that if Concubine Ning really killed her at this time, the emperor would not punish Concubine Ning, she wanted to show her favor to Concubine Ning, and then begged her Let yourself go, but Concubine Ning's attitude is so indifferent, Qiutong is even more frightened.

She must seriously consider finding someone else to save herself.

Yun Ping knew that Concubine Ning didn't want to see Qiutong, but Qiutong couldn't find the reason after so long. She felt that Qiutong was hopeless at all, but for the sake of the emperor's gift, Yongshou Palace couldn't afford it. Pick up a maid.

Fulu was still a little enthusiastic about Qiutong at first, but when he came over for a while, he realized that his master didn't want to see Qiutong anymore, and he also clearly treated Qiutong coldly with many palace people in Yongshou Palace. Tong flattered her, but the empress ignored her, and quickly followed what she had reported before and said: "The imperial concubine has been reprimanded, empress, look..."

Wu Anning stopped Min'er from touching the strings, and said: "No need, what the emperor did is justified." Concubine Wen Xi is not innocent in this matter either.

Rumors can kill people. If he hadn't met the emperor at this time, Wu Anning would not have been so lucky. Of course, if it wasn't at this time, Wu Anning would definitely take measures immediately instead of letting Kangxi take action.

"The imperial concubine has not been deprived of the palace..."

Wu Anning interrupted Fu Lu's worry, and said, "It's okay." Because Fu Lu's palace power belonged to Concubine Wen Xi, like most people in the palace guessed, would Concubine Wen Xi be punished like Empress Xiaoyi? Conferred as the imperial concubine, in charge of the affairs of the harem, the imperial concubine is the deputy queen, and it is justifiable to hold the power in the palace. Concubine is a legitimate thing.

Fu Lu is of course a little worried because she has offended the future vice queen because she didn't even perform the imperial concubine's ceremony.

If Concubine Wen Xi didn't have ten elder brothers Yin, and she and Empress Xiaoyi Tong Jia were both capable, Kangxi might not really register her as imperial concubine, but obviously, Concubine Wen Xi did not.Kangxi's conquest of power was not for the sake of Concubine Wen Xi, Wu Anning had seen something in the past year, perhaps it was for the future Crown Princess.

If Wu Anning's guess is correct, the candidate for the crown princess, Kangxi, has already been determined, and it may be announced in the next draft.The Crown Princess is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and she is more legitimate than the concubine. Of course, because she is a junior, she cannot interfere with the rules, conflicts between concubines, and matters related to the respect room. Waiting for court affairs, the princess has to get familiar with it.

At that time, the palace power will be divided into two, and most of them will be concentrated in the crown princess.

Wu Anning guessed right, Kangxi made preparations for the Crown Princess. Of course, there is also the fact that people in the harem reached into the Fengxian Hall to displease Kangxi. He wants to warn everyone in the harem, could it be that there is no queen and noble concubine? , and let them do whatever they want.

Concubine Wen Xi took power, but Kangxi had made preparations. The Crown Princess really wanted to get started, and she might have to be inspected for another year or a half after she entered the door, or even after she gave birth to her first son.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness and Li Jia are asking Fujin to see you." He Qigong's voice came from outside.

Wu Anning was slightly taken aback. Since she was rescued, although she saved the prince, she has never had any contact with the prince again. There is no other reason, just to avoid suspicion, and the prince is a matter of state, so he is naturally loyal to the emperor.

Afterwards, it was Kangxi who gave her the reward she deserved instead of the prince.

It has been a long time since returning to Beijing. Wu Anning and the prince are still two parallel lines that do not intersect. Although the attitude of the people outside has changed, in fact, they also have no intersection.Wu Anning was very satisfied with the prince's attitude, and thought that the prince would be like this in the future, but why did he and his side Fujin come here today?
In particular, he himself entered the harem without Kangxi's leadership... Wu Anning couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that the crown prince came here without asking Kangxi for instructions?It's not that the prince has no criminal record, because Wu Anning has seen it with his own eyes, the prince's casual behavior in front of Kangxi.
