The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 56
Yonghe Palace.

Jade came in with water, and Ningde was lying on the chair to play with the little bear. Ningde fed it until it became round, and its small body was rolled up like a pompom.When Ningde poked it, it rolled slightly, or stretched out its small claws and clawed at Ningde.

Fei Cui looked at it interestingly, and she was not in a hurry to leave after putting down the tea, she stood aside with a smile on the corner of her mouth and watched for a while.

Ning De teased Xiao Xiong and asked casually: "Did you pass the news to Concubine Tong?"

Fei Cui nodded and replied: "I have already followed your instructions to return to Master." Then she seemed to think about it and then said: "Concubine Tong is open-minded this time."

Ningde put down the little bear and stood up, and smiled softly: "She is a delicate person, how could she not see the key point? She was born into a famous family, and her father Tong Guowei is the younger brother of Empress Xiao Kangzhang, the minister of the interior in the ninth year of Kangxi, He has just been promoted to be the minister of the guards, and now he is also the minister of state affairs. In this Tong family, apart from the two uncles, there are many officials who have reached high positions. This is called "Tong Banchao", has the emperor never heard of it? As the saying goes Said: How can others snore on the side of the couch? Compared with the Tong family that the emperor wants to suppress, the establishment of the Niu Hulu family at this time can also show the emperor's attitude of treating veterans preferentially, regardless of past suspicions. It is of great significance to the ministers in the middle school, the old people in the court and the former officials. Don’t forget that in the eighth year of Kangxi, Ye Gong was sentenced to death for twelve crimes by Prince Kang Jieshu. Later, the emperor benevolently pardoned his death crimes , but he is also a person who has been imprisoned, if his daughter can also serve after the Qing Dynasty, the whole environment will be extremely favorable now."

Fei Cui suddenly realized: "No wonder..." She paused, and couldn't help but ask again with concern: "Then how does the master plan to return to the emperor, the servants who look at the emperor from the sidelines attach great importance to your opinion, the master."

Ning De took a pom-pom in his hand and just teased the little bear intently. He watched the little bear come to grab the pom-pom with a smile on his face, and replied casually, "You can answer what you want, little bear, are you right?"

"I really want to hear it. How are you going to reply to me?" Xuan Ye's voice suddenly came from outside the door, which startled the two of them. I yawned.

Ning Dejiao patted his chest with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you know how to bully me, Liuli, that narrow hoof will also help you scare me, let's see if I don't give her a good lesson."

Liuli was kneeling outside the door at this moment.Hearing Ningde's words, he stuck out his tongue. The emperor often came and went, and he was familiar with him, and he was used to lawlessness in front of Ningde, so he boldly said: "Master, this is the emperor's instigation, the emperor, you want Stop Master De, and be the master for your slaves!"

The words made everyone in the room laugh, and Ning De said with a sneer: "It's all because of the emperor's habit. I can't stand the crowd anymore. The Yonghe Palace is getting smaller and smaller."

As soon as the words fell, the little bear who had been lying obediently on the ground let out a "meow" in response to the occasion, as if it was responding to Ningde's condemnation.

"This flat-haired bastard!" Xuan Ye scolded with a smile.

Fei Cui recognized the wink, took advantage of this gap, led everyone to retreat quietly first, and closed the door behind her, only the two of them were left.

Xuan Ye took Ning De's hand, sat down on the couch and asked: "You said you wanted to go back to me, but now it's just the two of us, and I want to hear what you mean."

Ning De glanced at Xuan Ye with his eyes, and said with a clever smile: "The emperor has already made up his mind, so why don't you come and ask me?"

"You girl, how do you know I have an idea?"

Ningde's eyes fluttered: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, the two of us can write down the candidate in our hands, and open it together to see if it's the same person?"

"You have a lot of ideas." Although Xuan Ye said so, he still walked to the desk, turned his back to Ning De and wrote a word on his hand. When he came back, Ning De had finished writing. , the word in Xuan Ye's hand is: "Dongzhu", Ning De just wrote the word "Chengxi Palace" because he wanted to avoid taboo.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xuan Ye nodded silently, slid his fingers over Ning De's shoulders, and said softly, "You always understand me."

Ning De lowered his head and smiled faintly.

Ningde lowered his head, smiled lightly, and thought for a while with his head tilted: "Empress Xiaochengren seems to have an explanation."

Xuan Ye twisted her: "Ghost girl, you are right again, today I just slightly mentioned in the court that I want to be a queen, and as soon as I become a minister, I will push Gabula's daughter over again. My sister and her are two people at all, I really don't know why those old ministers are so polite to mention her!"

Ning De persuaded softly: "This shows that Empress Xiaochengren still has a place in everyone's hearts, and Suo Xiang is very popular in the court. Otherwise, everyone would not think of Empress Xiaochengren's sister. But now I'm afraid that if the emperor doesn't take the Hesheli family into the palace because of everyone's stinging and stinging, Suo Xiang will not look good in the court. Even if her reputation is not good, why doesn't the emperor take this opportunity to include the Hesheli family, so as to have an explanation for the Hesheli family."

Xuan Ye smiled and nodded, but looked at Ning De with some unusual eyes.

Ning De glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile: "What the hell are you thinking, Your Majesty?"

Xuan Ye's face was serious, but there was a smile in his eyes: "It's time to fight! You are becoming more and more unruly, be careful that I won't seal you this time."

Ning De raised his head, looked at Xuan Ye with a pair of clear eyes, and said quietly: "Sister Tong said something very well, this level of dignity is only in the emperor's heart, not in the name of the outside. The emperor Ning De is enough. I am about to go back to the emperor, but De'er was born in a poor family. After entering the palace, he has not made any achievements, whether he has given birth to a dragon son for the emperor, and he has already surpassed the hairpin by breaking the rules and being named a nobleman."

Kangxi's face also turned cold, and he was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "It's hard for you to understand the general situation, this time according to your intention, I will wrong you first."

He stood up: "You should rest early, I have to go to the Compassion Palace to pay my respects."

Fei Cui saw the emperor leaving with a bad face, walked into the room hesitantly, and persuaded after thinking about it: "Master, why are you bothering?"

Ningde smiled bitterly: "He has to take care of this reason. He doesn't care about it, so I have to help him take care of it." Ningde stood up, looked at the sky outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "What's more, the person in charge Something I never cared about."

In June of the 16th year of Kangxi, Yinzhi, the third son of the emperor, was often born in the Ma Jia family.

In August of the same year, the first large-scale canonization that caused a lot of turmoil finally issued an imperial edict: "I respectfully honor the order of the Holy Grandmother, the Empress Dowager, and the system of the ancient emperor's palace requires concubines to assist in internal affairs. This book Niu Hulu The clan is the Empress, the Tong (Jia) clan is the Noble Concubine, the Hesheli clan is the Ping Concubine, the La clan is the Hui Concubine, the Ma Jia clan is the Rong Concubine, the Guo Luoluo clan is the Yi Concubine, and the Zhaojia clan is the Jing Concubine..."
