Qingyan also turned to stare at Concubine Tong who had stood up from her chair and walked to the center of the hall, wondering what she would say.
When Kangxi came to Chuxiu Palace to sleep last night, the two of them developed a new position. The goblins were fighting and messing around until the end of the ugly hour. Just when they were about to sleep, they heard Liang Jiugong shouting from inside and outside that there was an emergency military situation. Kangxi asked her to rest first. Afterwards, he put on his dragon robe and black cloak and hurried back to Qianqing Palace.
But after all her hard work, she could only squint her eyes and fall asleep for less than two hours before Bai Lu woke her up again. That's why she was so sleepy this morning that she wanted to lose her head. Now she looked at Concubine Tong, who was standing not far in front of her and kept opening her mouth. As it turned out, she was a little irritated and wanted to get up and find something to stuff her mouth with.
"The Empress Dowager, I just wanted to tell you because I couldn't hold it in anymore. Every time the emperor turned over Concubine Jing's sign, he would stop stepping into the harem for several days. It would be okay if it happened once or twice, but Now this has obviously become a pattern, which makes me have to wonder, is the emperor trying to pamper the imperial concubine in a different way now, and wants to create a false harem for her? "
Concubine Tong's voice was soft and slow, but she added a big accent to the word "special favor", trying to make everyone present hear her clearly. After her words fell, everyone couldn't help being scared to silence. , The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became condensed.
The Empress Dowager is getting older, and now there are fewer and fewer things worth worrying about.
If it hadn't been for the fact that little Hesheli went to bed during the Qiao Qiao Festival, the emperor would not have looked at anyone else's sign for more than 20 days in a row.
Because the interval was too long, she quickly asked Aunt Gui to call Liang Jiugong and ask about it after she learned the news.
As a confidant of the emperor, Liang Jiugong just used the all-purpose excuse of "busy government affairs" to excuse her. At that time, she understood that her grandson did not want her to be involved in his sexual affairs, so she wisely did not ask further. He just asked Liang Jiugong to go back and remind the emperor that he needed to pay attention to his health and balance work and rest, so he didn't pay any more attention to the follow-up.
And "exclusive favor" and "virtual harem" have always been her most hated points.
When she was young, she had Huang Taiji who doted on Concubine Chen, Hai Lanzhu, and when she was old, she had Fulin who doted on Empress Xiaoxian, Dong Eshi. When father and son were not dazzled by love, which one of them was not a wise king?
Although her grandson Xuan Ye was brought up by her, and she had instilled in her the importance of "equal exposure to rain and dew" since he was a child, the emperor was still young and energetic after all, and little Hershey was so good-looking...
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager could not help but squint her eyes and look at Concubine Jing who was still sitting upright at the bottom.
Queen Mother Qiqige has been in the harem for so many years. Although she cannot speak Manchu and still does not want to learn Manchu, she can still understand what these concubines say.
Compared to the delicate Concubine Tong, she of course preferred Concubine Jing who was good-looking and good at kung fu! Feeling the change in the aura of the empress sitting next to her, and seeing that no one dared to speak at the moment, she hurriedly stretched out her hand She took a piece of hibiscus cake from the small table and stuffed it into her mouth, and said to Qingyan in a vague tone: "Little Hershey, please tell me what's going on."
An Bin, who originally sat up straight because she was worried about Qingyan, couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard the Queen Mother stepped forward to rescue Concubine Jing, and leaned back slightly.
Qingyan also hurriedly seized this opportunity, stood up from the chair and bowed respectfully to the two people sitting at the top, and then followed Qiqige's words and said in a somewhat aggrieved and speechless tone:
"The Empress Dowager, you know that my concubine has always been a straightforward person. She can't speak, is not familiar with classics and history, and is not smart enough. But even if she is stupid, she will understand. If a woman enjoys the exclusive favor of the emperor,
, Not only will the emperor visit you every night, but he will at least visit you every three days, right?"
"It is clearly recorded in the history of Tong in the Jingshi Room that I only started sleeping with Concubine Tong in July, and now the number of times I sleep with him is no more than three times a month. These three times are even more than the number of times Concubine Tong slept with me before.
Not even half as good as me, have you ever seen such a beloved concubine as I am?"
Qingyan pitifully stretched out her fingers to sign the number "three" at the two people above her.
"Empress Huang, this time is really rare!" Empress Dowager Qiqige laughed and said something in Mongolian, which was considered to be a platform for Qingyan.
Because Kangxi liked Sinology, Concubine Tong also studied Sinology very deeply, but she learned Mongolian so-so. She could only barely understand some words spoken by the Empress Dowager, but she was not stupid. She looked at Qiqige's reaction.
Then he understood that the Queen Mother was standing beside Qingyan.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she just turned the Buddhist string in her hand and said nothing.
"Tsk tsk, Concubine Jing is really good at changing the subject. I am not referring to the number of times you have slept with you. I am clearly talking about the fact that after you have slept with you, the emperor will 'guard' for you for several days.
!”
Concubine Tong was so angry at Qingyan's biased words that she pointed her finger at her nose and cursed.
"How presumptuous! Concubine Tong, what are you talking about!" The Queen Mother heard that Tong Yurou actually used the word "guard one's body" on the emperor, and then angrily stretched out her hand and slammed the Buddha string in her hand.
on the table.
The concubines were also frightened by the anger of the Queen Mother and stood up from their chairs and fell to their knees on the ground.
Queen Niu Hulu originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing Concubine Tong becoming more and more brainless as she talked, the Queen Mother became angry. She also stretched out her right hand to protect her aching stomach and struggled to get out of the chair.
He stood up, smiled and eased the tense atmosphere and said, "Mother Huang, please don't get angry, anger is the most harmful to your health."
Concubine Tong was also frightened by the Empress Dowager's sudden anger. She bit her lower lip tightly and knelt on the ground, daring not to speak. Although "Shou Shen" was what she just said casually out of anger, she didn't mean it at all.
Regretful, because that's what she thought in her heart. After she went to bed, he still went to someone else's palace the next day. Why was Hesheli Qingyan different...
Qingyan stared blankly at her eldest cousin who had bitten her lower lip to draw blood and her eyes were still red with a stubborn face. It seemed that she really imagined herself as "Kangxi's true love" in her heart, so she wanted to
I was severely punished by the Empress Dowager.
But this is really ridiculous. She really doesn't understand Concubine Tong's thoughts. Is she the only one in the entire Forbidden City who dares to be sincere to a skilled bed partner?
For her and Kangxi, sleeping in bed was just a way to relieve their desires, as long as they were happy, there were not so many twists and turns...
However, she was not a weakling who refused to fight back when being bullied. Qingyan took a deep breath, and after retracting her eyes from Concubine Tong, she folded her hands in front of her forehead and pointed at the two people above her.
He kowtowed, raised his voice, and said firmly: "The Empress Dowager, to tell you the truth, I heard such mindless talk from Concubine Tong today, and I found it extremely ridiculous."
"Who is the emperor? He is the lord of the world, and his heart has long been occupied by the country and the people. How could I, an ordinary concubine, have such great ability to make a wise and mighty emperor lose his mind?
A special pet, here to protect yourself? I’m afraid only those with stupid brains would say such ridiculous things!"
"Furthermore, looking at the entire Forbidden City, who can control the emperor? When and whose sign the emperor wants to turn over is not all his own wish, who can force him?"
"If it is like what Concubine Tong said, and the emperor doesn't want to blame the concubine every time after he goes to bed, then I am willing to accept the punishment, but I can only blame the concubine for being too strong.
It took too long to do it, please punish me."
After Qingyan finished speaking these words sonorously and forcefully, she knelt down and kowtowed to the empress dowagers of the two palaces who were sitting upright above her.
Trouble, "The strength is too great and the 'doing' time is too long."
Hearing Concubine Jing say such words in public, not to mention that all the concubines' faces suddenly turned red, and even the Empress Dowager felt a little uncomfortable.
Qi Qige slapped her thigh with bright eyes, turned to the Empress Dowager and sighed: "Emperor, Concubine Jing is not only innocent but should also receive a reward. Xuan Ye's body is so good.
, this little Hesheli must suffer so much while lying there."
"Ahem, cough, cough, shut up for the Aijia!"
The Empress Dowager had a headache and put her hand on her forehead. These little Hesheli and Qiqige really didn't understand what it meant to be reserved and shy. In order to avoid the two of them saying anything explicit next, she hurriedly chose
After ending this topic, he frowned and glanced around everyone, then focused his attention on Concubine Tong, and scolded with some hatred:
"Now the Ai family understands the situation. The emperor is unwilling to call you to bed. If you don't find the reason on your own, you still have the nerve to come to the Ai family and cry. Is it possible that the Ai family can still clean up the emperor?"
Are you going to tie him up and force him onto your bed?"
"I don't dare." All the concubines lowered their heads to the ground in shame. Qingyan's face was as usual and she couldn't pretend to be shy, so she had to follow the example of the others and lower her head.
The Empress Dowager also grew up as an ordinary concubine. She naturally understands what these people think, but the world is inherently unfair, not to mention that the harem has always been an environment of fierce competition, and only the strong can survive.
After so many years, her heart has long softened. As long as nothing happened in the palace that touched her bottom line, she could choose to turn a blind eye. The bottom line is "every year, an heir is born in the harem."
", "No one dares to stretch their claws against the emperor's heir", "Without the emperor's special favor, the harem is empty" and other ridiculous things happened.
She slowly turned the prayer beads in her hand and said calmly: "But since you have chosen to bring this matter to the eyes of the Ai family today, the Ai family cannot sit idly by and do nothing. Next year, the Ai family will also look at how to choose some good ones for the emperor.
If you are selected into the palace, the emperor will worry about the country and the country during the day. You are all the emperor's women. You can't let him have a bad rest at night, Concubine Tong."
"My concubine is here." Hearing the Empress Dowager calling her suddenly, Tong Yurou responded in a panic and reflexively.
"The Ai family remembers that you have several sisters. If you really feel bored during the day, just carefully choose a good one and let her come to the palace to accompany you."
When Concubine Tong heard this, she was struck by lightning. She raised her head in disbelief, but she met the Empress Dowager's cold eyes.
She felt a chill in her heart, and lowered her head in discomfort. Tears also flowed down her pointed chin, and her already aggrieved heart seemed to have been poked with a big hole.
The cold wind blew through me, and my whole body felt chilly from the inside out.
Seeing the way the Empress Dowager grabbed Concubine Tong's lifeline and beat her hard, Tong Yurou's thin shoulders trembled non-stop, and the others also followed suit and shrank their bodies like quails.
Qingyan also lowered her eyes to look at the patterns on the carpet and said nothing. Her eldest cousin was pitiful and hateful, but everything had its cause and effect. If she didn't cause trouble today, she wouldn't have added the Tong family to her family for free.
The matter of women entering the palace...
"Okay, we are tired of the Ai family. You all should step aside." The Empress Dowager didn't want to see these people anymore, so she waved her hand gently.
After the concubines were helped up by the palace attendants around them, they also bent over and bowed to leave. Queen Niu Hulu was about to lead everyone out when she suddenly felt that she had a terrible stomachache at the moment. She closed the topic and frowned.
After scanning the crowd with his brows, he focused his attention on Concubine Tong, and scolded with some hatred:
