The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 44
If there is something that spreads the fastest in the harem?Undoubtedly it is just a rumor.

In the early morning of the next day, the news that Wu Yashi Ningde was banned from the Yonghe Palace spread to the entire harem, and what spread even more evil was that Xuanye stayed overnight at Lijingxuan, and had a new favorite, Guo Luoluo. Shu Yu, after attending bedtime last night, immediately sealed up Mrs. Yigui, and for a while stood shoulder to shoulder with Mrs. An Yibu from Zhaojia's family.

After Guo Luoluo's Shu Yu went through the first calamity of entering the palace, she changed her temper greatly. She was very good at being soft and courteous to the emperor in every way, and she was in a hurry to flatter Concubine Jing directly by bypassing the concubine Duan, currying favor with her everywhere. Now that Shu Yu is the new favorite, she is very hot, but Zhao Jia's An Yi dare not say anything, the two are still good sisters, the more the emperor is about to fight, the more he has to whitewash the peace, so as not to be idle To stabilize the morale of the army, except for the Yonghe Palace, the entire harem was singing and dancing.

Yonghe Palace.

The Yonghe Palace has returned to its former cleanliness, and it has been another year. One year ago, in the winter, Ning De had just received the awards, gifts from the emperor, awards from the empress dowager and empress dowagers, and gifts from the empresses of the palaces. There was an alcove full of piles, and although the seats were secluded back then, everyone would interact with each other, chatting jokes and gossiping together, it was much more lively than it is now.

Ningde looked unfazed, still leaning lightly by the window, lit a piece of sandalwood, and quietly copied the scriptures, "Heart Sutra", "Tripitaka", "Lotus Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", " Twelve Gates Theory, "Fayuan Yilin Chapter"... One book after another. This is the most irritating one, and time passes like running water.

Kangxi didn't mention her again after that, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and Concubine Tong seemed to have forgotten her, I don't know if she has nothing, the value of use is thrown away, or it was mentioned a little but the emperor's meaning could not be restrained in the end, after all, for a How worthless for a little nobleman to offend the emperor.After all, the emperor is the emperor, the empress dowager Yu is a close relative, and Concubine Yu Tong is her lifelong husband, there is absolutely no reason to offend the emperor for an outsider.What's more, Concubine Tong is afraid that she will not be able to protect herself, so how can she have the power to help her?

First there was Guo Luoluo Shi Shuyu, then there was her, and there must be many people in the future. There will never be a shortage of forgotten women in this harem.

"Master..." Liuli called out from outside, and gently lifted the bead curtain to come in, "Master, it's getting cold, my servant will bring you some charcoal."

Ningde glanced at the brazier, saw the charcoal basin in Liuli's hand, sneered and said: "No need, I know they are all masters who follow the wind, this little charcoal will waste a lot of your tongue. How long do you want to bully me? Although I am not the daughter of a noble family, I can still share the fineness of this spice and charcoal."

Looking at Liuli's thin clothes, she suddenly let out a long sigh: "Follow me, I have wronged you and Fei Cui."

Liuli's eyes turned red, she shook her head quickly and said: "Your maidservant is not wronged, this maidservant is not wronged, she just looks at the master and feels sorry for the master, the master is such a good person, he talks and laughs with everyone in the past, and is considerate of us. The servants never said anything serious about us, and the maids in other palaces envied us. The master's kindness, the slaves will always remember. The slaves hope that this winter can still be as lively as last year. .”

"Lively?" Ning De turned his head out of the window. After the snow fell, the world of ice and snow was as transparent as a fairyland. "I think it's also very lively."
