Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong to arrange Concubine Lin's funeral and asked him to investigate the secrets, and then he took An Ning away.

Chen Changzai watched the two people leave and couldn't help but enviously said: "Empress Shufei is so blessed! She has the emperor's favor, an enviable family background, and a healthy prince."

But she has nothing, the gap is so huge that I can't even be jealous of her.

The palace maid standing by agreed with this in her heart. Yes, some people are just so lucky.

Chen Changzai just sighed and she really didn't dare to do anything now.

The next day, An Ning became busy. Fortunately, Concubine Lin's position was very low, she had no children, and she was not involved with any forces outside the palace, so the funeral was easily handled.

That evening, Liang Jiugong presented the results of his investigation to Kangxi, which made Kangxi very unhappy.

"Lady Yu is demoted to a commoner and ordered to commit suicide. The palace maids involved are also ordered to be executed."

After thinking about it, he still felt it was not enough.

"Also, ask Concubine Tong to come to the Qianqing Palace tomorrow."

"Whoo."

Kangxi was displeased. The results of the investigation came out. Concubine Lin was indeed not a good person, but her death was indeed not normal. Concubine Yu had a grudge against Concubine Lin. They were both pregnant at the same time, but neither of them kept the baby.

This time, Concubine Yu was instigated by someone who said that her child was killed by Concubine Lin, and they were given some specious "evidence". Concubine Yu had lost her child and was a little confused.

Then she was taken advantage of and Concubine Lin died on the night of Yin Yi's full moon banquet.

Concubine Yu could not accomplish this task alone. The Four Concubines had powerful connections in the harem and secretly instigated and pushed her. They did it in secret, and it was not particularly excessive strictly speaking. However, the target was An Ning, which made Kangxi unhappy.

The next day, Concubine Tong received an oral order from the Qianqing Palace and came over immediately.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand why Kangxi was looking for her. The biggest event in the palace recently was the death of Concubine Lin. Liang Jiugong had already dealt with everyone yesterday. Logically, this matter should have ended here.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Please stand up and sit down."

Concubine Tong stood up and sat down: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty has anything to tell me when I come here?"

Kangxi: "There are some things. Concubine Lin died suddenly, in Changchun Palace. Now Concubine Yu has confessed her guilt, but I think the harem is not well-regulated. What do you think, Concubine?"

Concubine Tong didn't quite understand what he meant, so she asked, "What does the emperor mean?"

"I want Shu Fei to take over some of the palace affairs. What do you think, Imperial Concubine?"

Concubine Tong naturally felt that it was inappropriate, but could she refuse Kangxi? Did she dare to refuse Kangxi?

But she still struggled: "Sister Shufei has just come out of confinement, and she has to take care of the Sixteenth Prince. Her energy is limited. If she takes over some of the palace affairs, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it, right?"

Kangxi shook his head: "Shu Fei is from the Ulanara clan, the legitimate daughter of Fei Yanggu. I am very confident in the upbringing of the Ulanara clan. Please help arrange it, Imperial Concubine!"

Concubine Tong had no choice but to say, "Yes, Your Majesty."

This is a really difficult matter. She doesn't have much palace affairs on hand, and she has to keep them in her hands. She can't give them away. If she wants An Ning to take over some palace affairs, she can only divide some of them from the four concubines' palace affairs.

This endangers the interests of the four concubines.

Kangxi asked Concubine Tong to do this, which was to tell Concubine Tong to help An Ning.

It is not what Concubine Tong wants to confront the Four Concubines!

But she dared not refuse Kangxi's request.

It's really hard to be caught in such a dilemma.

Concubine Tong returned to Chengqian Palace from Qianqing Palace with a depressed face.

"Your Majesty, what did the Emperor say?" Concubine Tong's confidant was puzzled.

Concubine Tong was helpless: "The emperor asked me to give some of the power in the palace held by the four concubines to Concubine Shu?"

The nanny was shocked: "Is the emperor out of his mind? How could he make such a decision? Why did he let you, the queen, make the decision?"

Concubine Tong smiled bitterly: "It's probably related to Concubine Lin's sudden death."

The nanny still couldn't understand: "When Concubine Lin died suddenly, Your Majesty didn't intervene, you just watched from the sidelines. The four concubines did make some moves, but those should be harmless to the emperor. Why would the emperor touch the palace affairs of the four concubines, and why did he let Your Majesty do this? Isn't this putting Your Majesty on the fire?"

Concubine Tong: "I don't know why the emperor blamed the four concubines for this matter, but I know that the emperor let me do this offending thing because he knew that I stood by and watched Concubine Lin's sudden death. The emperor blamed me."

The nanny frowned: "Why does the emperor blame the queen? It's not the queen who harmed Concubine Lin."

Imperial Concubine Tong shook her head: "Mammy, after all these years, you still don't understand, my position as an imperial concubine comes at a price, if I do anything that does not satisfy the emperor, he will push me out."

The nanny was silent. Concubine Tong had the highest position in the harem, but she had no children. Then this position was just a castle in the air and of little use. If she could relieve the emperor's worries, it would be fine. If not, then good days would definitely not be waiting for her.

She should have understood it long ago, but she really couldn't understand why Shu Fei was so favored. She was not stunningly beautiful, and her favor was inexplicable.

Sighing, Concubine Tong had to cheer up: "Go and ask the four concubines to come over, and tell them that I want to discuss something with them, something very important."

"Yes, ma'am."

When the four concubines received the message from Concubine Tong, they were all very puzzled and went to Chengqian Palace with full of doubts.

On the other side, Kangxi went to Changchun Palace.

An Ning was a little surprised to see Kangxi: "Why is the emperor here?"

Shouldn't we be handling government affairs at this hour?

"I came to see you and the child. Is Yinyi okay?"

Hearing Kangxi talking about his son, An Ning's smile became more gentle: "Yinyi is fine! He is sleeping somewhere!"

An Ning was reading a book, and Yin Yi was well-behaved. An Ning didn't want the child to be taken care of by a wet nurse all day long. After a long time, she was afraid that the child would not recognize her as his mother.

So Yinyi stayed next to An Ning, and the wet nurses who served him were outside.

Kangxi looked at his well-behaved son, and his face softened: "Yinyi is well-behaved, you raised him well."

"I dare not take credit for it. It is the good gene that the emperor inherited from me."

After talking about the child for a while, Kangxi finally stated his purpose: "My beloved concubine, I want you to take charge of some palace affairs."

An Ning showed a look of shock on her face. She was not pretending. She wanted to take over some of the palace affairs, but not now!

According to her plan, after a few years, the first few older princes would enter the court and fight for power. Kangxi would then be on guard against their mother. At that time, she would only need to say a few ambiguous words, and Kangxi would naturally not let the four concubines take charge of too many palace affairs.

"Your Majesty?! Isn't this inappropriate?"

Her first reaction was to refuse, not because she suspected Kangxi was testing her. Kangxi was not that suspicious of women. Even if he had suspicions, she was not on his list of suspects at the moment.

The reason for the refusal was just to establish a personal image.

She already has a smart and studious personality. If she still has ambitions for power, Kangxi may not care about it now, but that may not be the case in the future.

"Why, my beloved concubine, why do you feel it is inappropriate?"

An Ning looked embarrassed: "I am also afraid of disturbing the peace of the harem."

Kangxi liked An Ning's overall view even more: "Don't worry, my dear concubine. With me here, the harem will not be in chaos. You can take over the palace affairs without worry."

An Ning looked at Yin Yi and continued, "The child is still young, and I am afraid my energy is limited. I am afraid I am powerless to handle the palace affairs."

"Yinyi also has wet nurses who will take care of Yinyi. Ulan nurse has a lot of experience in managing palace affairs. You can also ask her to help you. My beloved, I need your help."

An Ning heard this and showed a firm look on her face: "Since the emperor needs me, I will not refuse."
