The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

Concubine Tong's way of dealing with affairs has changed.

The people in the harem soon discovered this.

In the past, Concubine Tong Huanggui was generous and dignified. If it was not something that touched her bottom line, she would not be too fussy.When punishing concubines who have made mistakes, the punishment is generally not too severe.This led to the fact that Concubine Tonghuang had prestige in the minds of many concubines, but she did not have enough deterrent power.

But today, Concubine Tonghuang actually slapped her with a small promise of disrespect in front of all the concubines.Another two nobles, because they talked about Concubine Tong's proposal to reduce the harem for disaster relief, were directly demoted by Concubine Tong to permanent presence, and their green cards were withdrawn, and they were not allowed to serve for two months. sleep.

When Concubine Tong's decision on their treatment was made, all the concubines were silent, even Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others who always liked to quarrel with Concubine Tong rarely said anything.

Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi, who were sitting under Concubine Tong, exchanged glances and frowned.

Concubine Yi has always been good at dancing, and she was responsible for rescuing any embarrassing scenes among concubines in the past.

At this time, she said: "It's just a few low-ranking concubines. They don't understand the rules for a while, and they offend the imperial concubine's sister. Why should the imperial concubine's sister be as knowledgeable as them?"

"Concubine Yi is pleading for them?" Concubine Tong looked at Concubine Yi with a smile, but there was not much smile in her eyes.

Concubine Yi said: "My younger sister was ordered by the emperor to assist the elder sister of the imperial concubine, so naturally she would not do anything to embarrass the elder sister of the imperial concubine. My younger sister just thinks that the behavior style of the elder sister of the imperial concubine today seems to be a little different from the past. The elder sister of the imperial concubine I have always been known for being tolerant, so I don't know if today's incident will have any impact on the reputation of the imperial concubine's sister?"

"That's right." The imperial concubine also said: "Elder sister Huang Guifei seems to be a little stricter than before?"

At least, if this happened in the past, Imperial Concubine Tong would definitely not demote her status as a concubine just because of such a trivial matter, and would beat her up again.

They are all sensitive people, and naturally they smelled something unusual from Concubine Tong Huanggui's behavior which was completely different from the past.

"Yesterday, the emperor told me that you need to combine hardness and softness when you act. When you are soft, you are soft, and when you are hard, you are hard. This palace deeply agrees. These days, those who are punished for spreading some gossip Are there still few concubines and palace people? But after being punished, these people don't seem to take it as a warning, which means that the punishment given by the palace did not deter them. In this case, the palace has no choice but to apologize Those who listen to my palace's warning will be severely punished."

When she said this, Imperial Concubine Tong completely put away the gentle smile on her face, and her expressionless face looked more majestic and more unpredictable.

Is it actually an instruction from Kangxi?

Hearing the words, the concubines below gritted their teeth and said, the emperor thinks too much about Concubine Tonghuang, doesn't he?It was simply for fear that she would be wronged.

Standing at the closest place to Concubine Tong Huanggui, what Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi thought was, could it be that the Emperor wants to make Concubine Tong Huang one step further?

Only in this way can it explain why Kangxi hoped that Concubine Tonghuang would further establish a deterrent force in the harem.If Kangxi only needed her to stay in the position of deputy queen, it wouldn't take so much trouble, right?Moreover, Concubine Gui and Concubine Yi are people who are quite close to Kangxi, so they naturally know that every action of Kangxi has a deep meaning behind it, and he never does useless things.

From the looks of it, they were right that they hadn't had an affair with Changchun Palace before.

After punishing several concubines in the harem in an extremely straightforward manner, Concubine Tong found that the attitude of the concubines in the harem to her had changed significantly.In the past, when they got along with her, although most of them were quite respectful, under the respectful appearance, there was a little more casualness.

Because they knew that imperial concubine Tong had a good temper and a good temper, and generally would not get angry easily. Even if they got angry, as long as they admitted their mistakes and had a good attitude, they would not be punished too severely.

But now, this cognition has been overturned.

Concubine Tonghuang not only punished those who dared to offend her, but also punished them severely.The low-ranking concubine who was slapped lost face and suffered serious injuries. It can be predicted that her life will not be too easy in the future. After all, according to her status, she is not qualified to ask the imperial physician to ask her. Most of the imperial physicians would not be willing to treat her after knowing that she was injured because she offended Concubine Tong.As for the two concubines who were downgraded because of broken mouths, if there were no accidents, they would only be small regulars in this life, and there would be no chance of being promoted back.In this harem, living without power is always more difficult than dying.

Some concubines couldn't understand the "arrogant" appearance of Concubine Tong, and they were too lazy to accept the high-pressure management of Concubine Tong in the future, so they turned around and complained to Kangxi when they were sleeping. It is said that Concubine Tong's temperament has changed drastically for some reason recently, she is not gentle, pregnant or kind, and her methods suddenly become cruel.

When Concubine Tonghuang explained why she suddenly changed her behavior, she did mention that it was because of Kangxi's request that she changed, but the concubines at the bottom did not believe this at all.When they thought about it, it must be that Concubine Tonghuang used Kangxi as a cover. In fact, Kangxi didn't know about it at all.Kangxi has always preferred women who are as gentle as water, so how could he tell Concubine Tong to manage the harem with tough methods?

However, they did not expect that after they mentioned the matter to Kangxi, Kangxi immediately lost interest.

"That's what I asked the imperial concubine to do. Why, why are you dissatisfied with my decision?"

An emperor who was full of smiles suddenly turned expressionless. Anyone who saw it would feel terrified, let alone this group of little concubines who had never seen the world.

After hearing Kangxi's words, they were all frightened and dumbfounded. It took a while to react, and they shook their heads desperately: "It's my concubine's short-sightedness, my concubine can't understand the emperor's intentions, and speculates wildly, the emperor forgives me."

Hearing this, Kangxi snorted coldly: "Since you know that you are not smart enough, don't always try to be clever in front of me. Do you really think that I can't see your little thoughts and calculations?"

In short, after the concubine failed to sue and was reprimanded by Kangxi, no one dared to try to put eye drops on Concubine Tong in front of Kangxi because of this incident.

Speaking of it, Kangxi really valued Concubine Tong Huang Gui, so important that they were a little jealous.

……

After dealing with the affairs of the harem, Concubine Tong began to pack Qionghua's luggage.

This child has never been away from Concubine Tong's side since he was born. This time Kangxi specially brought Qionghua with him when he went to pay homage to Xiaoling. But Concubine Tong Huang was always a little worried.

"The two nannies are going to go with Jiaojiao, and two of Jiaojiao's daily attendants must also go with her. Otherwise, people outside don't know Jiaojiao's preferences, and they may not be able to take good care of Jiaojiao. In this way For one thing, there are only four people who will go with them..." Generally speaking, if any concubine is lucky enough to travel with the emperor, it will be easy and simple, and the people around her will be streamlined and streamlined.Going out, the ostentation is not the same as when you are in the harem.

But Qionghua is young, just when she needs someone to take care of her, some aspects cannot be avoided.

After Yinzhen came back, he saw his mother-in-law was packing things for her younger sister, and she had decided who would go out with her, and she felt a sense of reluctance in her heart.He was already used to seeing his sister's smiling face every day when he came back from school. This time, his sister followed Khan Ama to the mausoleum, and he would not see her for at least half a month.

Reluctant to return home, Yinzhen also knows that Khan Ama's attention is a good thing for his sister.What's more, my younger sister always thinks that the palace is boring and boring, and this time I have the opportunity to go out for a stroll, my younger sister will definitely be very happy.

Seeing that Concubine Tong Huanggui was so busy, Yinzhen couldn't help but also joined the army of making plans for Qionghua's trip.

"My younger sister is used to being afraid of the cold, so I must bring her a hand warmer when I go out, and I must also bring her little clothes and quilt..."

Yinzhen counted them one by one, and he didn't forget to stuff the cloth tiger he gave Qionghua into her wedding ceremony.In his words, my sister has to go out for so many days, and he can't see her for so many days, if I don't bring something for my sister, let her think about him from time to time, when my sister returns to the palace, wouldn't it be Forgot about his brother?This is absolutely not possible!

Seeing that ugly cloth tiger, Qionghua couldn't bear to look straight away and turned his head away, feeling his eyes were hot.However, considering her brother's fragile heart, she still didn't let the cloth tiger be thrown out, but acquiesced to the maids around her to stuff the cloth tiger into the salute.

Anyway, she brought this cloth tiger just to give her brother a psychological comfort. Normally, she would never use this cloth tiger!At this time, Qionghua didn't know that her brother had already told the maid who went with her to hold a cloth tiger in front of her eyes every day in order to show his presence in front of her.

Concubine Tonghuang didn't understand at first when she saw the cloth tiger stuffed that Yinzhen ordered him to give to Qionghua as a gift, but after listening to Yinzhen's explanation, she suddenly felt that it made sense, and hurriedly ordered someone to take her away. The things that were given to Qionghua were also found to be suitable, so that Qionghua could take them with him.Concubine Tong's rank is much higher than that of Yinzhen, she directly finds out an amulet she begged for Qionghua, strings it with a rope, and hangs it around Qionghua's neck.

Compared with Yinzhen's way of brushing up the sense of presence, this is the real way to carry it with you, inseparable.

Especially after putting the amulet on Qionghua, Concubine Tong kissed Qionghua's forehead very emotionally: "With this amulet, it's like Er Niang is always by your side. When you miss Er Niang, take it Come out and see."

Although he felt that this style of painting was a bit old-fashioned and not suitable for him, Qionghua was still moved by his mother's kindness, grabbed the amulet with two small paws, and nodded solemnly towards Concubine Tong.

——Don't worry, Wo will take care of this amulet.

Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Tong smiled.

This person is afraid of comparison.Yinzhen originally thought that he had successfully stuffed the cloth tiger into Qionghua's salute, and asked the accompanying maids to show it to Qionghua every day, which was not bad.But compared with the amulet that can be carried close to the body as a gift from Concubine Tonghuang, he suddenly felt that it was not enough.

Yinzhen scratched his head, and poked it carefully.It's a pity that the things he gave to Qionghua were basically playthings, and there was nothing suitable for carrying with him.In the end, Yinzhen pulled out a rattle and tentatively handed it to Qionghua, trying to trick Qionghua into holding the rattle.

Unexpectedly, Qionghua looked at the rattle with disgust, and with a merciless wave of her little paw, the rattle was overturned.

Stupid brother, it is already the limit for her Lord Qionghua to agree to keep that stupid cloth tiger by her side.At least the cloth tiger can sometimes serve as a pillow for her.But what happened to the rattle?She never liked this kind of thing, okay?

Yin Zhen, who was rejected by his sister, was very disappointed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw two women in palace costumes walking hand in hand from outside the door.

It's Concubine Rong and Concubine Cheng.

Yinzhen and Concubine Tong immediately put away the expressions they would only show in front of their closest family members, and looked at the two guests alienated.Concubine Cheng has not dealt with Changchun Palace many times in these years, and there is no data to refer to, but Concubine Rong has a lot of records of dealings with Changchun Palace.

According to Concubine Tong's understanding of Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong is a figure who does not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.She doesn't like Concubine Tong Huanggui. In the past, she rarely came to Changchun Palace. Once she came, it meant that she had something to discuss with Concubine Tong Huanggui.

Sure enough, after the two sides exchanged a few casual greetings, Concubine Rong glanced at the fourth elder brother who was directing the people to work, and said to Concubine Tong: "I heard that the fourth elder brother and the eighth princess have always been brothers and sisters. The eighth princess is going out, the fourth elder brother must be very reluctant, right? The sister of the imperial concubine should also be very worried about the eighth princess?"

"If you want to say that you don't want to give up, then of course there are, but I am not worried about Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao went to the mausoleum this time, and she went with the emperor. With the emperor looking after Jiaojiao, what should I worry about?" of?"

"It would be great if the fourth elder brother could go to the mausoleum with the eighth princess." Concubine Cheng pointedly said: "Although the emperor is very reliable, but in the end, he is always in charge of everything, and sometimes he will be negligent. If the eighth princess has the fourth elder brother Taking care of it, the imperial concubine's sister can also rest assured. Besides, going to the mausoleum this time is also an excellent opportunity for the fourth elder brother. If he can go with him, everyone will know that the emperor attaches great importance to the fourth elder brother. So, for the imperial concubine, isn't this a good thing to have the best of both worlds?"

Concubine Tong frowned when she heard the words, and said lightly: "This time the emperor only ordered the crown prince and Jiaojiao to go to the mausoleum together. It is not appropriate for Yinzhen to go with him."

If Yinzhen went, would Yinbi want to go?Does Yinzhi want to go?They are all the sons of Kangxi. As the crown prince, the prince has a special status, so he can naturally enjoy some special treatment, but what are the other elder brothers?

Thinking of this, Concubine Tong suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of Concubine Rong and Concubine Cheng coming to find her.
