After dinner, the Empress Dowager asked Concubine Tong about the harem while drinking tea.

Concubine Tong respectfully stated that nothing had happened in the harem for more than half a year, and all the concubines served the emperor with all their heart.

Although the Empress Dowager doesn't like Concubine Tong, she has to admit that Concubine Tong manages the harem very well.Her old man asked about the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother.

Concubine Tong Gui said that the third elder brother's health has improved a lot, and he no longer gets sick as often as before.As for the fourth elder brother, he has grown up a lot and has a very good appetite. He can eat two bowls of rice for one meal.

When Niu Hulu heard that the fourth elder brother ate two bowls of rice for one meal, he was surprised and worried: "The fourth elder brother is only two years old, will he last long if he eats two bowls of rice for one meal?"

Hearing Niu Hulu's words, Kangxi said with a cold face: "I see that you didn't make it through two bowls of rice?"

Niu Hulu retorted unconvinced in a low voice: "The concubine is an adult and not a child."

"Do you think my son can't eat two bowls of rice, or can't eat two bowls of rice?" Kangxi was very dissatisfied with Niu Hulu's behavior of deliberately picking on Concubine Tong Gui.

In Kangxi's view, the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Tong very much because Niu Hulu family sowed discord in front of the Empress Dowager and spoke ill of Concubine Tong.

Niu Hulu said with a face full of fear: "I don't mean that by my concubine."

Kangxi said in a cold tone: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

Being said so bluntly by Kangxi, Niu Hulu turned pale, bit her lips tightly and dared not say anything.

"Yinzhen is only two years old, two bowls of rice..."

Before the empress dowager finished speaking, she was interrupted by Kangxi, "Emperor Mama, it's fine if Niu Hulu doesn't understand, don't you understand too?" Kangxi was dissatisfied with the imperial concubine's behavior. "Yinqi just turned one year old, and he ate two bowls of rice every day, don't you remember?"

Hearing what Kangxi said, the Empress Dowager remembered what had happened, and she looked a little embarrassed: "It's a good thing for children to eat more, and it's good for the body to eat more."

Kangxi looked coldly at Niu Hulu who lowered his head, "Ignorant."

Niu Hulu, who was said to be ignorant, turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were slightly red.Just when she was about to say something, she heard Kangxi say: "After dinner, what are you still doing in the Compassionate Ning Palace?"

Concubine Tong lowered her head, and covered her smile with the movement of drinking tea.She didn't like Niu Hulu, because Niu Hulu often told her right and wrong in front of the Empress Dowager.To Niu Hulu, she couldn't say anything, after all, the Empress Dowager liked her and protected her.However, fortunately, the emperor doesn't like Niu Hulu's family, and every time he sees Niu Hulu's family, he doesn't have a good face.

"Emperor..." The Empress Dowager cried helplessly.

"Huang Mama, you still want to keep her overnight."

Empress Dowager: "..."

Concubine Tong tried her best to hold back her laughter, not letting herself laugh out loud.

Seeing that Niu Hulu was still sitting still, Kangxi said displeasedly: "Why, do you still want me to send you back to the palace?"

"The concubine resigns." After leaving the Compassion Palace, Niu Hulu couldn't help crying anymore.Of course, Kangxi didn't care whether she cried or not.

Seeing that Kangxi drove Niu Hulu away, the Empress Dowager felt very helpless, "Emperor, why did you drive away Concubine Shu?"

Kangxi said with a look of disgust: "I don't like Niu Hulu's gossiping in front of you every day!"

The Empress Dowager knew that Kangxi was annoyed by Niu Hulu's sentence just now, "Will the child last long after eating two bowls of rice", "Concubine Shu has never given birth, so naturally she doesn't know how much the child eats, why do you bother?" Get angry with her."

"She has never given birth, so doesn't she have eyes and brains?" Kangxi said in a deep voice, "Didn't she work hard to serve you and the queen mother? Can't you see that the queen mother feeds Yinqi two bowls of rice every time?"

What Kangxi said made the Empress Dowager speechless.

"I don't think she doesn't know, she just wants to tell stories in front of you." Kangxi mocked, "I really don't know how Niu Hulu's family raised their daughters. One is not as good as one."

Kangxi's last sentence not only scolded Concubine Shu, but also scolded Concubine Shu's sister, the successor Niu Hulu.

"Emperor, you misunderstood, Concubine Shu is not this kind of person." The Empress Dowager said good things to Niu Hulu, "She has a carefree temper and doesn't care about trivial matters. I don't know that it is normal for the Empress Dowager to feed Yinqi two bowls of rice. "

"Huang Mama, you don't have to speak well of her. I can tell if she is such a person." Kangxi saw that it was getting late, and was about to leave, so he stood up and said, "Huang Mama, you should rest early, I'll see you again tomorrow."

"Emperor, you should also go to bed earlier."

Concubine Tong stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "The concubine will leave."

Kangxi took Concubine Tong Gui and left the Palace of Compassion.

When Kangxi and the others left, the Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly and said, "Why do you think the emperor doesn't want to see Concubine Shu so much? How is Concubine Shu worse than Tong?" In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Niu Hulu didn't care Whether it is her background or herself, she is better than Concubine Tong.

Aunt Su Ma said: "Empress Dowager, what Concubine Shu said just now is indeed inappropriate, and it is normal for the emperor to be angry."

"Concubine Shu has never been born to know anything. The emperor is protecting the Tong family." The Empress Dowager sighed softly, her tone full of puzzlement, "How can the Tong family compare to Concubine Shu."

"The empress dowager, the imperial concubine is the emperor's cousin, this friendship is different."

"So what if she's a cousin, Tong's is a member of the Han Army Banner..."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Aunt Su Ma didn't say anything more.

The Empress Dowager was a little tired, "Serve Ai's family to wash up."

At this time, Kangxi and Tong Guifei had returned to Jingren Palace.

Concubine Tong personally brought Kangxi a cup of tea. Seeing that the emperor was still angry, she gently comforted her: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time Concubine Shu has been like this. Why are you angry with her?"

Kangxi took the teacup and put it on the table next to him, then took Concubine Tong's hand and gently pulled her to sit beside him.

"As soon as Niu Hulu came back, he told you right and wrong in front of Huang Mama." Kangxi said with a dark face, "I originally thought that she would learn better after staying in the temple for a few months, but I didn't expect that she would not change. Just Her character is not qualified to be a concubine. I regret that I agreed with Huang Mama's words to make her a concubine."

Tong Guifei stretched out her hand to caress Kangxi's chest, and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has always been like this, it's not worth it for you to get angry with her."

Kangxi stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Tong's hand, and said in a gentle and distressed tone: "She is relying on the Empress Dowager to dote on her and trouble you everywhere."

Concubine Tong smiled softly at Kangxi: "Concubine Shu has the support of the Empress Dowager, and the concubine has your support. Didn't you just help the concubine get justice?"

Kangxi stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Tong in his arms, "Ms. Niu Hulu is vulgar and likes to tell stories. I really don't know what the Emperor Mama likes about her." It is very distressing.

Concubine Tong leaned against Kangxi's arms, lowered her eyes, her eyes were cold and deep: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu was born in a rich Manchu family, with a noble status. You also know that the Empress Dowager likes Manchu and Mongolian concubines, but not Han concubines. "As she spoke, she sighed faintly, "The Empress Dowager always felt that a concubine who was born in the Han army flag was not qualified to be named a noble concubine."

"Emperor Ama advocated the Manchu family when she was alive, and she has discriminated against the Han people for so many years. It's really..." Kangxi was most dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager, "My biological mother is Han."

Concubine Tong raised her head from Kangxi's embrace, and looked at him tenderly and dependently: "Your Majesty, my concubine will not feel wronged when you are here."

"Yin'er." Kangxi said tenderly, "With Zhen here, I will never let you suffer any grievances."

"The concubine knows that the emperor will protect the concubine."

Kangxi kissed Concubine Tong's ear, "It's getting late, Yin'er, let's settle it down."

Concubine Tong's ears turned red immediately: "Okay."

In Jingren Palace, Kangxi and Concubine Tong have a deep affection.In Yongshou Palace, Niu Hulu was so angry that he beat the pillow.

She used to like to follow the cup or vase when she was angry.Later, when Kangxi learned about this, he ordered that if she continued to throw cups and vases, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not let her buy them, so that she dared not throw porcelain anymore.

"Mistress, calm down." Seeing that Niu Hulu's pillow was about to be broken, Qinghao quickly comforted her, "Mistress, take care of yourself."

Niu Hulu's face was flushed with anger: "I'm going to die of anger, so as not to hinder the emperor's eyes."

Qing Hao hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you are really mad, the Emperor will be very happy."

Talk nonsense.

When Niu Hulu heard this, not only did she not get angry with Qinghao, but felt that what she said was right, she immediately dropped the pillow in her hand, straightened her hair and said, "You are right, the emperor wants me to die of anger. "As she spoke, she let out a cold snort, "Hmph, I won't fulfill his wish, I want to live well."

Seeing that her provocative method was effective, Qinghao quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Your Majesty, you are right to think so."

"Alas..." Niu Hulu's shoulders were full, and her delicate face was full of sadness, "How can you say that I am not as good as Tong Yin, am I not as beautiful as her, and I am not from her background, okay?"

"Your Majesty, you are naturally more beautiful than the Imperial Concubine, and you are also more noble than the Imperial Concubine."

Niu Hulu had a bitter face, looking extremely wronged: "Since I am better than Tong Yin in every way, why doesn't the emperor like me?" If she is ugly and her family background is not good, then she is not as good as Tong Yin, and she accepts it in her heart , but she is worse than Tong Yin in every way, why does the emperor dislike her so much?

"My lady, the imperial concubine is the emperor's cousin, so the emperor naturally treats the imperial concubine differently."

"Then I am too." Niu Hulu said, "If you have to count, then I can also be regarded as the emperor's cousin."

"Young lady, this is different. The imperial concubine is from the emperor's grandmother's family, but you are not." Qing Hao hesitated for a while, but decided to say it out, "Young lady, the main reason why the emperor doesn't like you is because you are often in front of the empress dowager. It’s not right to talk about the imperial concubine, just like tonight the imperial concubine said that the fourth elder brother eats two bowls for a meal, why do you say that you can eat to the end?”

"Could I be wrong, isn't a two-year-old child enough to eat two bowls of rice?" Niu Hulu didn't think he was wrong.

"Fifth elder brother is not, you usually serve the empress dowager, didn't you notice this?"

Niu Hulu curled her lips and said, "I don't like children, so I only go to see Brother Wu for a few bowls of rice when I'm in a hurry."

"Then why does the emperor know?" Qing Hao knew that sometimes Niu Hulu didn't mean to gossip about the Empress Dowager, but sometimes what Niu Hulu said was really annoying, so it's no wonder the emperor angry. "The emperor knows everything about his daily affairs, but you haven't been around the queen mother for the past few months. If you say the emperor is not angry with you, who are you angry with?"

When Niu Hulu heard this, he immediately said unconvinced: "The emperor knows because the fifth elder brother is his son. The fifth elder brother is not my son. Why should I care how much the fifth elder brother eats for a meal?" A bowl of rice." After finishing speaking, she added angrily, "The emperor just doesn't like me."

"You know that the emperor protects the imperial concubine, do you think the emperor will give you good looks when you say that?" Qing Hao felt that her empress was very proficient at currying favor with the empress dowager, how did she become... so stupid when she became the emperor? Woolen cloth?

Niu Hulu said angrily: "Yes, Concubine Tong is the emperor's treasure, and I can't say a word." She grabbed the long pillow again and beat it hard, "The more this is the case, the more I want Talk about Concubine Tong."

"This will only make the emperor hate you even more."

Niu Hulu raised his chin and said indifferently: "If you hate it, you can hate it, I don't care."

"Then why are you angry now?" Qing Hao joked, "Since you are not interested, then why are you angry?"

"I……"

"If you really don't care about it, don't get angry, let alone cry secretly..." Before Qing Hao finished speaking, Niu Hulu took a long pillow and beat her down.

Niu Hulu blushed, and shouted angrily, "Qinghao!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be brave in front of your slaves." Qinghao served Niu Hulu family since she was a child, and she is the person who knows her best, so she doesn't know her true thoughts. Concubine Tong treats you like that, why do you pretend not to care?"

After hearing this, Niu Hulu immediately sat down on the couch like a deflated ball.

"But, the emperor doesn't like me."

"The slave thinks you should change your temper."

"Temper?" Niu Hulu's eyes widened and said, "Aren't I gentle in front of the emperor?"

Qinghao thinks about it, it seems that her mother is indeed very gentle in the emperor.

"This is not what the slave is talking about. What the slave is saying is that you speak better in front of the emperor."

"I also want to speak nicely, but did the emperor ask me to say it? Just after I said a few words, the emperor looked as if he disliked me and couldn't wait to drive me away." The more Niu Hulu said, the more aggrieved she became. The more I talk, the more sad I feel, the more I want to cry.

Uh... that's true.

Qinghao thought for a while and said: "Why don't you speak good things about the imperial concubine in front of the empress dowager in the future, if the emperor knows that you speak for the imperial concubine, he will definitely change his opinion of you."

"Don't!" Niu Hulu said stubbornly, "I will never say good things about Tong Yin in front of the Empress Dowager!"

"Your Majesty, it's nothing to say something nice about the imperial concubine and empress."

"I feel sick."

Artemisia annua: "..."

"The Empress Dowager doesn't like Tong Yin. If I say something nice to her, the Empress Dowager may not even like me." Niu Hulu is still smart, "If I am disliked by the Empress Dowager, I will I really can't stay in the palace any longer."

Qinghao felt that her mother was right, but if her mother liked the empress dowager, she would be disliked by the emperor.If her mother-in-law goes to please the emperor, she might be disliked by the empress dowager. This is really a problem.She doesn't know what's wrong with a little slave.

"Then you plan to keep doing this?"

Niu Hulu's face was full of confusion: "I don't know what to do. No matter what I do, the emperor doesn't like me."

"Your Majesty, you have been in the Palace for two or three years, and the Emperor has never been to Yongshou Palace. Could it be that you..." Qinghao lowered her voice, "Do you want to be like the Empress Dowager?"

"I...Of course I don't want to, but the emperor doesn't want to see me, so what can I do."

"Actually, the easiest way is to make friends with the imperial concubine, but if you don't want to, then there is really nothing you can do." Qing Hao felt that being liked by the empress dowager was a good thing, but to put it in a bad way, the empress dowager The queen mother is quite old, and she doesn't know how long she can live. She can't support her mother forever.Compared with the empress dowager's liking, it is more important to please the emperor.

Niu Hulu was silent, and said after a while: "I won't make friends with Tong Yin."

Hearing what Niu Hulu said so decisively, Qinghao sighed deeply and helplessly in her heart, and did not continue to talk about this topic.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, my servant will help you wash up."

"kindness."

After washing up, Niu Hulu lay on the bed with his eyes open.She thought of Qinghao's words, and also thought of Kangxi seeing her disgusted appearance tonight, the more she thought about it, the more sad and wronged she became.

She suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and hid in the quilt, weeping silently.

Qinghao was guarding the gate of the hall, and when she saw Niu Hulu buried herself in the quilt again, she knew that her mother was crying secretly again.

"Ugh……"

"It's all your fault for saying those words." Qingdai glared at Qinghao, "You know what your empress cares about, but you still say those words to make your empress sad."

"I don't want my mother to be sad, but it's not a solution for my mother to keep doing this." Qinghao frowned, and said with a sad face, "My mother is still young, if she keeps doing this, how will she live in the next few decades? Say something If it doesn't sound good, the empress dowager will not be as good as the empress dowager in the future, at least the empress dowager has the respect of the emperor, and the empress dowager will..."

"Your Majesty is not liked by the Emperor, do you think anyone will respect your Majesty in the future?"

What Qinghao said was so right, Qingdai fell silent.

"Compared to the love of the empress dowager, what the empress needs most is the emperor's favor." Qinghao thought for a while and still felt that the emperor's favor was more important, "If the empress pleases the emperor, she will have a son and a half in the future. There is hope for the rest of my life, otherwise how will the empress live the rest of her life?"

"You're right, but you also know your empress' temper."

"Alas... the empress has a stubborn temper, she will understand in the future, I hope it's not too late, otherwise the empress will..."

"Let's persuade the empress more in the future."

"we can only do this."

The maids around Niu Hulu were worried about her.

The next day, Concubine Tong got up early.Today I am going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay my respects, as a noble concubine, she can't be late.

After she finished washing up, she went to the side hall next door to wake up Xiao Yinzhen.

"Emiang, let me sleep a little longer." Although Xiao Yinzhen was woken up, she couldn't open her eyes.

"I'm going to greet the Empress Dowager today, you have to get up." Concubine Tong stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Yinzhen, and coaxed gently, "After greeting the Empress Dowager, you can come back to sleep."

Xiao Yinzhen buried her head on Concubine Tong's shoulder and rubbed her face, as if trying to shake off her drowsiness.

"Er Niang, I'm so sleepy..." Why did An have to wake up so early.This old lady came back from outside, why is she still tossing people.

Seeing Xiao Yinzhen so sleepy, Concubine Tong couldn't bear it, but she had to take him to the Palace of Compassion.

"You won't be sleepy after washing your face, Er Niang will take you to wash your face."

Nanny Feng had prepared warm water a long time ago, and when she saw that Concubine Tong was going to wash the fourth elder brother herself, she handed the towel to Concubine Tong.

Guifei Tong hugged Xiao Yinzhen while washing his face gently.

After washing his face, Xiao Yinzhen finally opened his eyes, but he was still sleepy.

"Emiang, can't it be later to pay respects to the ancestor?" Xiao Yinzhen said while yawning, "Don't the ancestor sleep in late?"

"It can't be late, it's a rule." Concubine Tong carried Xiao Yinzhen to the dining hall, "The Empress Dowager never sleeps in."

"Hey, the ancestors don't sleep in, so they want us to sleep in too?"

Concubine Tong was amused by Xiao Yinzhen's words, stretched out her hands to pinch his little face and said, "You are not allowed to say such outrageous words in the future."

Xiao Yinzhen nodded obediently: "I won't talk about it in the future."

"Let Nanny Feng feed you breakfast." Concubine Tong touched Xiao Yinzhen's head and said, "We have to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay our respects early, Er Niang won't feed you breakfast." After feeding Xiao Yinzhen Zhen, if she eats breakfast again, it will definitely be too late to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Xiao Yinzhen nodded obediently: "Okay."

Later, I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay my respects, Concubine Tong Guifei and Xiao Yinzhen didn't eat much.After eating for a while, we set off for the Compassion Palace.

Jingren Palace is a bit far from Compassion Palace, and it takes two quarters of an hour to walk there.

Xiao Yinzhen was hugged by Nanny Feng, and after walking for a while, he became sleepy again, and fell asleep lying on Nanny Feng's shoulder.

Walking halfway, I met Concubine Rong with the third elder brother and the third princess.

The third elder brother was hugged by the nanny and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, you went to the Palace of Compassion for Compassion last night, are you alright?" Concubine Rong knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Tong very much, and that Concubine Tong went to the Palace of Compassion with the Emperor for dinner last night, so she was concerned. asked a question.

Concubine Tong smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's Concubine Shu's usual appearance, but the emperor said so."

"I heard that Concubine Shu was kicked out of the Palace of Compassion by the Emperor last night?" The Forbidden City said it was big, it was really big.Let’s say it’s small, it’s really small, because once something happens in the harem, it will be known to the entire harem.Last night, everyone knew about Niu Hulu's being expelled from the Palace of Compassion by Kangxi.

"She said something that made the emperor unhappy." Concubine Tong simply told Concubine Rong what happened in the Palace of Compassion and Peace last night.

"Ms. Concubine Shu did it on purpose. It's nothing for a child to eat two bowls of rice for one meal. When Yinzhi was not in good health two years ago, he could still eat two bowls of rice for one meal." Concubine Rong didn't expect that Concubine Shu As soon as the empress returned to the palace, she would gossip about the imperial concubine and empress in front of the empress dowager, "No wonder the emperor is angry with her!" The emperor didn't like empress Shu in the first place, but in the end, empress Shu was still in front of the emperor. In front of the Empress Dowager, she really didn't know whether to say that Concubine Shu was stupid, or that Concubine Shu was not afraid of the emperor because of the Empress Dowager's favor.

"It's not the first time she finds fault with Ben Gong, and Ben Gong has long been used to it." Concubine Tong said with a sarcasm, "If she doesn't find fault with Ben Gong this time, Ben Gong will still find it strange."

"It's just the first day I returned to the palace to trouble you. It's really..."

"The Empress Dowager dotes on her, and she never takes this noble concubine seriously."

"Fortunately, the emperor is protecting the empress." Concubine Rong prefers the imperial concubine to the concubine Shu.

Although the concubines in the entire harem are jealous of the emperor's favor and trust in the imperial concubine, compared to the concubine Shu, all the concubines in the harem prefer the imperial concubine to the concubine Shu.

The reason why she doesn't like Concubine Shu is because Concubine Shu relies on her family background and doesn't pay attention to people with lower backgrounds than her.Second, Concubine Shu has a bad temper, relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager, she dared to say anything.

The imperial concubine is not like the concubine Shu, who will not judge a concubine by her birth, nor will she abuse a concubine at will.

While walking and chatting, the two suddenly ran into Niu Hulu.

Niu Hulu came from another road, just in time to bump into Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong.

Seeing Concubine Tong, she immediately frowned and lowered her face.She saluted Concubine Tong very perfunctorily: "I have seen the imperial concubine."

Concubine Rong respectfully saluted Niu Hulu, "I have seen Concubine Shu."

Concubine Tong looked at Niu Hulu, saw that her eyes were a little red, and guessed that she must have cried last night.

"Sister Concubine Shu didn't sleep well last night, why are her eyes so red?"

Hearing Concubine Tong's question, Niu Hulu stiffened slightly, and then said stiffly: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Gui, I slept well last night."

"Really?" Concubine Tong Gui said with a half-smile, "Sister Concubine Shu was able to sleep well after what the emperor said last night, I really admire you."

Niu Hulu was poked at the sore spot, "What do you mean?"

"I don't have much interest in this palace, I just care about my younger sister."

"Concern?" Niu Hulu sneered, "You are reading my joke."

"Why would my sister think so?" Guifei Tong had an innocent look on her face.

"Stop pretending to be in front of me." Niu Hulu said coldly, "The emperor will accept what you do, but I won't."

"Sister really doesn't know good people."

"What do you mean, are you calling me a dog?" A dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't understand good people, and Niu Hulu felt that Concubine Tong was scolding her.

"Sister, you think too much, I just want to care about you."

"The cat cries and the mouse pretends to be merciful." Niu Hulu stared at Concubine Tong coldly, "Don't think that it's great that the emperor protects you."

Concubine Tong said with a smile, "It's amazing."

"You..." Niu Hulu felt that Concubine Tong was deliberately showing off the emperor's love for her, and immediately became very angry.

Qinghao was afraid that the Niu Hulu clan would quarrel with Concubine Tong, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for you, you should hurry to the Palace of Compassion."

When Niu Hulu heard this, he immediately raised his chin proudly to Concubine Tong, "You are protected by the emperor, and I am loved by the empress dowager." After speaking, he held Qing Hao's hand and left proudly.

Seeing Niu Hulu's back leaving, Concubine Tong slightly shook her head.

Concubine Rong comforted: "Your Majesty, you don't have to take what Madam Concubine Shu said."

"I don't take it seriously, let's go." Actually, Niu Hulu's nature is not bad, but she is a chess piece used by the Empress Dowager to restrain her.

Back then, after she entered the palace.The Empress Dowager immediately picked Niu Hulu to enter the palace, and she was named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.

The Empress Dowager made Niu Hulu her concubine just to restrain her.Unfortunately, the empress dowager's wishful thinking was wrong.She thought that the emperor would like the Niu Hulu family. After all, the Niu Hulu family was bright and beautiful, but the emperor didn't like the Niu Hulu family.

Not long after the Empress Dowager made Niu Hulu her concubine, Kangxi made Tong Yin her noble concubine.Because of this, the Empress Dowager quarreled with Kangxi, but Kangxi insisted on making Tong Yin a noble concubine, and the Empress Dowager had to agree if she didn't want to.

When the Empress Dowager saw that Concubine Tong was named a noble concubine, she wanted to make Niu Hulu a special concubine, but was rejected by Kangxi.No matter what the empress dowager said, Kangxi just refused to make Niu Hulu a noble concubine.

Seeing that Kangxi insisted on not agreeing, the Empress Dowager couldn't argue with her grandson over this matter, so she had to compromise temporarily.However, in the past two years, the Empress Dowager has been looking for opportunities to make Niu Hulu a noble concubine, but they have not been successful.

Niu Hulu came to the Palace of Compassion angrily, and as soon as he saw the Empress Dowager, he complained to her that Concubine Tong Guifei had shown her that the emperor loved her.

After she finished speaking, seeing the Empress Dowager staring at her all the time, she felt a little scared.

"Empress Dowager, what are you doing looking at Chenqie like this, is there something on Chenqie's face?" She reached out to touch her face, but she didn't feel anything.

"You said you are more beautiful than Tong Shi, why don't you please the emperor?"

The empress dowager's words were like sprinkling salt on Niu Hulu's wound, "The empress dowager, even the concubines don't know."

"Someone is here, sit down obediently."

Niu Hulu sat in her seat obediently.

After a while, I saw Concubine Tong bringing Concubine Rong and the others to pay their respects to Ann.

Just now, many concubines arrived before Concubine Tong and the others, but their status was too low to directly enter the main hall of the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the Empress Dowager, so they waited for Concubine Tong to bring them in in the courtyard of Palace of Compassion and Peace.

"The concubine greets the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager."

"The servant greets the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yinzhen and Yinzhi followed Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong to say hello: "Greetings to the ancestors, and hello to the emperor Mama."

"All sit down."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Not all concubines can sit, and concubines below the concubine can only stand.Like a noble person, she can only stand behind Xi Concubine, even if she is more favored than Xi Concubine.

Xiao Yinzhen was held in the arms of Concubine Tong, staring at the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother with curious eyes.

The empress dowager's hair was quite grey, and her face had many wrinkles, but her eyes were sharp.It can be seen from her eyes that she is a strong person and not easy to mess with.

The Empress Dowager is much younger than the Empress Dowager, but her eyes are not as sharp as the Empress Dowager.She has a gentle expression and kind eyes, and she can be seen as an amiable person at a glance.

Seeing Xiao Yinzhen staring at her, the Empress Dowager smiled lovingly and waved to Xiao Yinzhen: "Come here, Yinzhen, let the old ancestor take a good look."

Concubine Tong put down Xiao Yinzhen, and patted him on the back lightly: "Go."

Xiao Yinzhen walked very steadily in front of the Empress Dowager with short legs.He first saluted the Empress Dowager, "Yinzhen pays respects to the ancestors, and the ancestors are blessed and safe."

Seeing the dumpling-like little Yinzhen greeting her politely, the Empress Dowager only thought it was very cute.

"Get up quickly and come to the ancestor."

Xiao Yinzhen walked obediently to the side of the Empress Dowager, and called out sweetly: "Old ancestor."

The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Yinzhen carefully, then turned her head and said something to the Queen Mother in Mongolian.

The Queen Mother nodded and said something.

Xiao Yinzhen could understand what the two of them were saying.The Empress Dowager said that he looked like Kangxi, and asked the Empress Dowager if he looked like him. The Empress Dowager said that he was very similar, especially the eyes.
