The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 243 The reaction of the Niu Hulu clan

Qinrou thinks about it! Perhaps in the evening, the queen should come forward and accept their greetings.

But the evening hasn’t come yet, so it’s daytime right now? The excitement in the previous court was already very lively.

The Niu Hulu clan's long-awaited counterattack is here.

Even if it rained heavily, the sound of discussions could not be escaped from all over the harem. Qin Rou did not participate in the clique discussions among the concubines, but in the house, when several slaves gathered together, they would discuss a few words.

After all, they don't have to participate, but they can't know anything. If a blind man crosses the river, he will stumble, and if he stumbles, he will die.

"Master Yi Bilong apologized to Master Suo'etu, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager in the previous court. He said that their family had not taught their daughter well, and she felt deeply guilty. Concubine Niu Hulu was guilty, so she asked the Empress to forgive her. Palace regulations." Fushun also found out everything about the previous court.

The main thing is to get the information into the harem, and it will be easier for them to find out.

'Dispose according to palace rules! Qinrou weighed these words playfully. It’s not that simple! The queen opened her mouth and said that Concubine Niu Hulu was plotting to kill her second elder brother.

But according to palace regulations, murdering the emperor's heir does not require solid evidence. At least there must be evidence to ensure that the facts are true.

The queen wants to convict, but she must have evidence first! But now, the problem is that Qinrou doesn't think that the queen can find evidence and frame her. Concubine Niu Hulu is not a weak concubine. Behind her, there is the support of the Niu Hulu clan and the faint support of Prince Ying.

If Concubine Niu Hulu could be framed, then in this world, it would be the Hesheli clan who would invade the government and the public and shake the foundation of the court. If this was true, Kangxi would not allow the Hesheli family to thrive in the court.

But if there is no evidence, it is the queen's fault.

Although there are differences between direct wives and concubines, Concubine Niu Hulu is a daughter of a wealthy family, so she cannot be compared to ordinary concubines. A royal concubine, as long as her family background is large enough and her position is noble enough, she is an extraordinary concubine and should not be taken lightly.

Even if the queen is a queen, she has absolutely no reason to wrongly accuse Concubine Niu Hulu.

Qinrou estimated that this was because Concubine Niu Hulu was weak, and the queen occupied the post of his legitimate wife. Otherwise, the Niu Hulu clan would not have adopted such a tortuous method.

Qinrou's mind was spinning calmly, her eyes moved slightly, and then she asked, "Why do you ask for forgiveness, Master Yi Bilong?"

There is nothing better than language that can reveal the inner story and the attitude of a person towards this.

"For the Queen's words, 'Pray, please don't curse your brother's premature death, and this palace will be a legacy for thousands of years.' Master Bilong said that Concubine Niu Hulu was so disgusting, but I begged the Queen to forgive her. Palace rules and regulations. The Niu Hulu clan has countless sons and daughters, and there are so many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who have married into the family... There is no need to care about the honors of the sons, but the honors of the daughters and the daughters-in-law; But it should be treated with caution.”

"The reputation of all the daughters-in-law in the clan is no small matter." Qinrou said calmly without thinking about it. It seems that this matter will not be settled so easily.

It goes without saying that either you die or I live! If the Niu Hulu clan didn't risk their lives to prove their innocence, once the reputation of the Niu Hulu clan was ruined, they would really be in infamy for thousands of years. "I think this is also the case." Aunt Chen also agreed deeply. She has experienced a lot, and from this alone, she can smell the coming storm. "The name and honor of a daughter's family are so important. Although we Manchus, unlike the Han people, take the name and honor too seriously and seek death if the honor is harmed, we will not harm the honor. Let's talk about marriage, a woman With a good reputation, marriage will be smoother; and when you are away from home, you can hold your head high and behave as a good person. "

So how could the Niu Hulu clan not care. Concubine Niu Hulu is a role model for the daughter-in-law and daughter of the Niu Hulu clan. If something bad happens to her, it will endanger the entire Niu Hulu clan. How could the Niu Hulu clan, regardless of gender, old or young, not care.

Aunt Chen also mentioned something, saying: "I heard about this, Pingjun Wang's direct descendant Fujin, is also very concerned about it." Pingjun Prince's direct descendant Fujin is also from the Niu Hulu family.

She is concerned about this matter, and she has reasons and evidence to back it up.

Prince Ping is still in the south, fighting for the emperor and making great achievements? She couldn't be behind. She couldn't even care about her own reputation.

In a society like this where clan is the most important thing, Qinrou doesn't find it strange at all that such a situation would occur.

"How is Pingjun Prince Fujin?" Since Pingjun Prince Fujin was mentioned, Qin Rou also asked in passing.

Aunt Chen and the others had found out about this a long time ago. Fushun said: "Fu Jin, the prince of Pingjun, and Fujin, the direct descendant of Master Yi Bilong, both handed over their cards to enter the palace and said they would come and sit in the palace for a while." Fushun did not dare. Concealing it, he continued: "Because the Empress was still sad and had been closed in the palace for many days, they did not dare to make the Empress sad anymore, which hurt her body, so they handed the sign to the Empress Dowager."

To put it bluntly, I came to the palace to seek justice.

One is Heshuo Gege of the clan, and the other is Fujin of the clan. The reputation of Concubine Niu Hulu is closely related to the fact that they are the direct descendants of the Niu Hulu clan and the direct daughters of the Niu Hulu clan. They will come to sit in the palace. Once you sit down, it’s not surprising.

But no matter what, one is the wife of the current head of the Niu Hulu clan, Heshuo Gege, and the other is the direct daughter of the Niu Hulu clan, and she is Fujin of the clan. It is enough weight to come to the palace to demand justice.

Since Fushun and Aunt Chen didn't mention it, Qinrou could guess the conclusion: apart from the direct descendants of Ye Bilong and the direct descendants of Prince Ping, no one else had been brought into the palace.

And it is enough to just curb Bilong's direct Fujin and Pingjun Wang's direct Fujin.

But he will not appear to be coercive, he will abide by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, and will not lose any sense of proportion; at the same time, he will safeguard his own reputation and interests, and no one can find fault.

Fortunately, Yi Bilong, the direct descendant of Fujin Province and Prince Heping County, did not have a legitimate daughter at his knees. Otherwise, they would have all been brought to the palace today.

Qinrou understood this, and then asked lightly, "What do you think, Lord Suo'etu?"

What a matchup! It would only be interesting if the attitudes of the two hostile families were shown. Only then can we figure out the final result, so Hesheli's attitude is very important.

The attitude of the Hesheli family should be represented by Suo'etu. Since Sony's death, he has been the leader of the Hesheli clan. He was also the backbone, and he himself had extraordinary talents and was highly valued by Kangxi.

Fushun replied: "Master Suo'etu said that this is a harem matter and should be dealt with according to palace rules. As for the fact that Concubine Niu Hulu did not attend the funeral of the second elder brother, it is an ironclad fact and should be punished."
