Regarding the matter of sealing the harem, Kangxi originally planned to discuss the list with Concubine Tong, and show it to the Empress Dowager for review, and then announce it after receiving the approval of the Empress Dowager, but because Concubine Tong was drugged by the Empress Dowager, this matter I don't plan to discuss it with her old man.

Just when he was about to announce the list of Dafeng's harem, Eunuch Xu, who was beside the virtuous person in Xianfu Palace, went to Qianqing Palace to announce the good news, saying that the virtuous person was pregnant for more than a month.After Kangxi learned about it, he was naturally very happy, and immediately went to Xianfu Palace to visit the noble man.

After Liang Shengrong learned of the news, he immediately reported it to Concubine Tong Gui.

Concubine Tong Gui was not surprised at all that the nobleman was pregnant, but this incident was a bit different from her previous life.In her previous life, the nobleman did not reveal her pregnancy so quickly, but waited for three months before revealing it.In this life, the virtuous man unexpectedly revealed her pregnancy in advance because of the fact that Xiao Yinzhen was recorded under Tong Guifei's name.

The nobleman was not sad when he learned that the fourth elder brother was recorded under the name of Concubine Tong, but saw an opportunity, a chance to be promoted to concubine.

This time the harem was sealed, the nobleman felt that she should be named a concubine, after all, she gave birth to the fourth elder brother.She didn't intend to reveal her pregnancy in advance, she wanted to wait three months before talking, but Kangxi suddenly let the fourth elder brother be recorded in Tong Guifei's name, she thought she could try.

The emperor was a little guilty towards her at first, but now that the fourth elder brother is officially recorded under the name of Concubine Tong, the emperor will definitely compensate her, and if it is revealed that she is pregnant at this time, the emperor will definitely take this opportunity to reward her well, maybe it will directly Make her a concubine.

The nobleman decided to use the fact that the fourth elder brother was recorded in the name of Concubine Tong to win the concubine position for himself.

"The virtuous lady is pregnant again." Concubine Rong was surprised at first, and then said in a sour tone, "Her luck is really good." Knowing that the fourth elder brother was officially recorded under the name of Concubine Tong, Concubine Rong took the third elder brother The elder brother came to Jingren Palace to congratulate Concubine Tong Gui, but he didn't expect to hear the news that De Guiren was pregnant again when he came to Jingren Palace.

"She's really lucky." Among all the concubines, Deguiren is the one who gave birth to the most concubines, and also the concubine who gave birth to the most elder brothers.

"The virtuous person did it on purpose." Concubine Rong thought of something, and said with a deep expression on her face, "She didn't announce it sooner or later, but she chose to announce it after the emperor ordered the fourth elder brother to be recorded in your name."

"This is where she is smart." In her previous life, Yinzhen was not recorded under her name, so the noble man did not announce her pregnancy in advance.In this life, she suddenly announced that she was pregnant in advance, obviously because she wanted to use the fact that the fourth elder brother was recorded in her name to seek greater benefits for herself. "Yinzhen is recorded under the name of the palace, the emperor will feel a little guilty towards her, and her announcement of her pregnancy at this time will not only make the emperor happy, but also make the emperor want to make up for her."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Emperor will enshrine a virtuous man as a concubine." Concubine Rong had just heard about the list of Dafeng's harem from Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong naturally thought of this: "Well, in a short while, the emperor will come to this palace and make a decision on the concubine of the virtuous person." Yinzhen has already been recorded in her name, and the virtuous person's concubine has nothing to do with her. any impact.Before discussing with the emperor, I postponed the concubine of the virtuous person, mainly because I was afraid that the virtuous person would confer the concubine, so the empress dowager asked the virtuous person to raise Yinzhen, after all, the concubine is qualified to raise elder brother.

"However, the concubine's concubine has no effect on you."

Concubine Tong nodded slightly: "Yes, so I won't object to her becoming a concubine." She said with a chuckle, "Yinzhen is officially recorded in my name, I can finally feel at ease."

"Congratulations, ma'am."

"It's good that Virtuous Lady is pregnant at this time, so I feel better in my heart." Concubine Tong said sincerely, "I hope her baby will still be an elder brother."

Concubine Rong understood Concubine Tong's mood, and said with relief: "Your Majesty, you don't owe the virtuous nobleman anything."

At this time, the voice of greeting Kangxi sounded outside.

Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong hurried forward to greet him: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

Seeing Concubine Rong was there, Kangxi was slightly stunned, and then said softly: "Get up."

Concubine Rong knew that Kangxi was going to discuss with Concubine Tong about the concubine of a noble person, so she resigned very tactfully.

"Why is Concubine Rong here?"

"She brought the third elder brother to play with the fourth elder brother." Concubine Tong congratulated Kangxi, "Congratulations to the emperor for being Khan Ama again."

"This kid came at a good time."

Concubine Tong understood what Kangxi meant, and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed the right time."

The reason why Kangxi said this is mainly because of two reasons.The first reason is that the San Francisco Rebellion has just been completely put down.The second reason is that Xiao Yinzhen has just been recorded under Tong Guifei's name.

"Yin'er, Wu Ya's family is pregnant, and it's time for her status to be promoted."

"Originally, I planned to wait for the nobleman to give birth to an elder brother or princess for the emperor again to promote her status. Now that the nobleman is pregnant again, she should be promoted to her position." Concubine Tong asked gently, "Your Majesty, directly promote Is a virtuous person a concubine, or directly promoted to concubine?"

"Promote her as a concubine." Kangxi said, "The fourth concubine is already full, and she is not suitable for promotion to concubine."

"That's right, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have always been four concubines instead of five concubines, so we can only temporarily wrong the noble lady and be promoted to concubine." Concubine Tong said again, "Your Majesty, the noble lady has been promoted to the concubine, and she is the head of the first palace. It should be moved out of Xianfu Palace, have you thought about which palace the nobleman will live in?"

"Yin'er, what's your suggestion?"

Concubine Tong thought for a while and said: "The Yonghe Palace doesn't have the main seat yet, so it's better to let the Wuya family live in the Yonghe Palace. Besides, the location of the Yonghe Palace is better, not very far from the Qianqing Palace, so it is convenient for you to visit Wuya, Your Majesty." Shi."

"It's still Yin'er who is considerate." Concubine Tong Guifei has always been liked by Kangxi.

"The concubine feels that she owes Mrs. Wu Ya."

Kangxi understood Concubine Tong's meaning, reached out and hugged her into his arms, touched her back lightly and said: "You don't owe Mrs. Wu Ya."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the Wu Ya clan is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother..." Speaking of this, Concubine Tong sighed faintly, "It was the concubine who snatched her fourth elder brother for selfishness."

"I can't say that. Now that she is pregnant again, she will definitely have another brother."

Concubine Tong raised her head from Kangxi's embrace, and looked at him pleadingly: "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to make good compensation to Mrs. Wu Ya."

"Promoting her to be a concubine is already compensating her." Kangxi comforted Concubine Tong, "You don't need to compensate her anymore, otherwise it would be too late."

"This……"

"You don't have to feel that you owe her." Kangxi said seriously, "This matter is my decision and has nothing to do with you."

"Your majesty, that's what I said, if the concubine really takes it for granted, isn't it a little too cruel?"

Kangxi held Concubine Tong's hands, "Where are you ruthless, you just listen to me, don't feel indebted to Wu Yashi, otherwise..." Kangxi said here, a glint flashed in his eyes, "It will make her forget Who am I?"

Hearing what Kangxi said, Concubine Tong knew that Kangxi did not blindly favor Wu Yashi.

"Okay, my concubine listens to you."

"If you really feel indebted to Wu Yashi, then reward her with something more."

Concubine Tong nodded and said: "Okay, the concubine will reward Wu Yashi with some more things." After finishing speaking, she called Wang Momo in and ordered Wang Momo to pick out more good things and supplements from her storeroom. The tonic was sent to the noble man. "Let's do this, during the nobleman's pregnancy, the concubine should be more careful."

"No, there is no need to specially give her preferential treatment, otherwise she will be arrogant." Kangxi worried that Concubine Tong would treat Wu Ya's family with various preferential treatment because she felt that she owed Wu Ya's family. Oh no.

"Your Majesty, the Wu Ya family is not such a person..." Concubine Tong hesitated and said, "The Wu Ya family has always followed the rules and is cautious. It is impossible to be proud of being favored."

"Not now, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future." Kangxi instructed, "Listen to me."

Concubine Tong slightly nodded: "The concubine listens to you." After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of it, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to tell the Empress Dowager about the sealing of the harem?"

"No, I will make an order later."

Seeing that Kangxi was still angry, Concubine Tong was full of guilt: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to be at odds with the Empress Dowager because of my relationship."

"This matter is the Empress Dowager's fault, not your fault." Kangxi thought of what the Empress Dowager did to Concubine Tong, his eyes were gloomy, "If I don't do anything, the Empress Dowager will only go too far. "

"But……"

"Don't worry, I know it well." Kangxi said, "Over the years, I have turned a blind eye to what she did, but I didn't expect it to hurt you."

"Actually, the concubine can understand the empress dowager's thoughts. She is mainly worried that after the concubine has a child, the concubine's child will pose a threat to His Royal Highness." Concubine Tong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you value the Tong family. The Empress Dowager is worried that if there are children from the Tong family in the palace, the Tong family will not support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The empress dowager thinks too much." Kangxi said with a serious expression, "I believe in the Tong family's loyalty."

"Your Majesty, the Tong family is only loyal to you and will not be loyal to anyone else." Concubine Tong felt that the Empress Dowager made a mistake. She was afraid that the Tong family would pose a threat to His Royal Highness after having an elder brother, but the emperor did not I don't care about this matter, because the fourth elder brother is still young, and will not pose any threat to His Royal Highness for the time being.And the Empress Dowager cared so much about the threat to the status of His Highness the Prince, on the contrary, it would make the Emperor unhappy.

Kangxi nodded slightly: "I know the Tong family's loyalty!" Kangxi trusted the Tong family very much and was very relieved.

"Your majesty, it is enough for you to believe in the Tong family. It doesn't matter whether the empress dowager believes or not." Concubine Tong smiled softly at Kangxi, "Because our Tong family is only loyal to the emperor, not to the empress dowager." .”

Kangxi liked to hear Tong Guifei's words: "Don't worry about the affairs of the Empress Dowager, I know it well."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is your Mama, please take it easy."

"I have a sense of proportion."

Guifei Tong suddenly smiled sweetly at Kangxi: "Cousin, thank you!"

"Thank you, I didn't protect you well." Kangxi hugged Concubine Tong into his arms again, and kissed her on the cheek, "I will help you get justice for this matter."

"Cousin, fortunately you are here."

Kangxi talked to Concubine Tong Gui for a while before returning to the Imperial Study Room, and then issued an imperial edict to seal the harem.

The promoted concubines were very excited, especially the concubines.

When the noble lady learned that she was only promoted to concubine, she was naturally very disappointed, but when she learned that she would be able to move to the Yonghe Palace soon, her disappointment decreased a lot.

Although she gambled that she would be concubine this time, she knew in her heart that the possibility of concubine concubine was unlikely. After all, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi were from better backgrounds than her, and they had served the emperor for many years. There is nothing wrong with being named concubine.However, she originally thought that Concubine Shu would be promoted to a noble concubine, so that she would have a chance to be named a concubine, but she did not expect that Concubine Shu was not made a noble concubine.

In the Yongshou Palace, Niu Hulu's expression was disbelieving when he learned that he was not named a noble concubine.

"Impossible. The Empress Dowager clearly said that I could be promoted to a noble concubine, but why didn't I." Niu Hulu couldn't accept this result.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has not been promoted either."

"Why, Tong Yin still wants to be promoted to imperial concubine?" Niu Hulu looked contemptuous, "Why is she so shameless that she still wants to be an imperial concubine without being satisfied?"

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down." Qinghao felt very helpless for her own empress to be so outspoken.

"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid she won't succeed." The more Niu Hulu thought about it, the more angry he became, "No, I'm going to find the Empress Dowager."

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Niu Hulu really ran out, Qing Hao hurriedly chased after her.

In the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager saw that Kangxi had issued the list of conferring the harem and did not discuss it with her, so she knew that Kangxi was very angry this time.

"The Empress Dowager..." Before the Niu Hulu clan arrived, the voice arrived first.

"Let her go." The Empress Dowager is not in the mood to deal with Niu Hulu now.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager." Aunt Su Ma walked out and stopped the Niu Hulu family who was about to rush in, "My servant greets Empress Concubine Shu."

"Aunt, please." Niu Hulu's attitude towards Aunt Su Ma was very polite, "Aunt, where is the Empress Dowager?"

"Empress Concubine Shu, the Empress Dowager is in a bad mood, please don't disturb me for now."

"The empress dowager is not in a good mood?" Niu Hulu was puzzled at first, and then showed a dazed look, "Is it because the emperor didn't promote me to be a noble concubine, and the empress dowager is angry?"

"Not all, you should go back first."

"Auntie, the Empress Dowager is in a bad mood, and I'm going to see her even more to cheer her up."

Aunt Su Ma stretched out her hand to stop Niu Hulu, and said in a very solemn tone, "Mother, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see anyone now!"

Niu Hulu had never seen Lagu Su Ma with such a serious expression before, and was a little frightened.

"Auntie, the Empress Dowager..."

"Your Majesty, listen to the servant's advice, you should go back today first."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

"My lady, go slowly."

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Niu Hulu asked Qinghao, "What do you think of the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty, we can't talk about the matter of the Empress Dowager." Qinghao persuaded, "You don't need to ask."

"The Empress Dowager always loves me very much, how can I not ask, otherwise I will be too heartless."

"The servant thinks this matter is very serious, and it's not something you can care about."

"I will come to visit the Empress Dowager tomorrow."

"La Aunt Su Ma, what do you think the Ai family should do?" The Empress Dowager did not come up with a good solution after thinking for a long time.

Aunt Su Ma thought for a while and said, "Empress Dowager, why don't you just be honest with the emperor."

"Frank?" The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "You can't be honest, otherwise..."

"The empress dowager, the emperor already knows, you can't cover it up no matter what you want?" Aunt Su Ma didn't advise the empress dowager to do this at first, "You might as well be honest with the emperor about the reason you did this, you said maybe the emperor I will understand your painstaking efforts."

The Empress Dowager felt that Aunt Su Ma's words were reasonable, but she was still worried, "I told him frankly, what if he gets more angry?"

"Empress Dowager, the emperor is your grandson, and will not be angry with you forever."

"Think about it again." The Empress Dowager still couldn't hold back her face if she wanted to tell Kangxi frankly.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager hesitated, Aunt Su Ma didn't continue to persuade her, and quietly withdrew.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, then called Aunt Su Ma in and asked her to invite Kangxi.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager listened to her words, Aunt Su Ma felt relieved, and hurriedly went to Qianqing Palace to invite Kangxi.

Kangxi was not surprised to see Aunt Su Ma coming to him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

On the way to the Ci Ning Palace, Aunt Su Ma hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be too angry with the Empress Dowager."

Kangxi glanced at La Aunt Su Ma coldly, "La Aunt Su Ma, why didn't you stop Huang Mama?"

Aunt Su Ma's heart tightened, she lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have persuaded you."

Kangxi knew in his heart that no one could stop the empress dowager's temper and what she decided to do.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is also thinking of you..." Before La Aunt Su Ma could finish her sentence, Kangxi glanced at him sharply, and she was so frightened that she quickly shut up and didn't dare to say a word.

Kangxi came to the Compassion Palace with a sullen face.Lagu Su Ma and Liang Jiugong did not follow in.

"Greetings to Empress Mama."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly, "Sit down."

Kangxi did not sit down next to the Empress Dowager this time, but chose a seat under her.

"Huang Mama, if you have something to say, just say it."

Seeing Kangxi's stern and majestic appearance, the Empress Dowager was both relieved and melancholy.

"It was the Ai family who ordered someone to give Concubine Tong the medicine to avoid children."

Kangxi's tone was gloomy: "The reason."

"The Ai family does not allow Concubine Tong Gui to have a child, and does not want her child to threaten Yinreng." The Empress Dowager said solemnly, "The Ai family does not allow anyone to threaten Yinreng."

"Huang Mama, in your opinion, Baoqing should not exist." Kangxi only felt that the empress dowager's idea was absurd, "Huang Mama, not only should Baoqing not exist, even Yinzhi and Yinqi should not exist." Shouldn't exist."

"Concubine Hui and the others are no match for Concubine Tong."

"Huang Mama, don't you think your words are ridiculous?" Kangxi said sarcastically, "You are not afraid that Yin'er's child will threaten Yinreng, but you don't want the Tong family to have an elder brother, and you don't want the Tong family to have an elder brother. grow."

Kangxi's words hit the nail on the head, making the empress dowager speechless for a while.

"I know you don't like the Tong family all the time, and you don't want me to get close to the Tong family, so after Yin'er entered the palace, you have always disliked her." Kangxi suppressed his anger, "I always knew you didn't like Yin'er, But turn a blind eye, because I don't think you will really do anything to Yin'er, but I didn't expect you to drug Yin'er since she entered the palace, making her unable to have children for the rest of her life. Mamo, how could you do such a cruel thing to a fifteen or sixteen year old girl?"

The Empress Dowager spoke righteously: "The Ai family does not want their relatives to threaten the Qing Dynasty."

"Emperor Mama, don't talk so grandly." Kangxi suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, his smile was cold and without any warmth, "I thought you would regret it, but I didn't expect you didn't think you did something wrong."
