The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 398 Unconscious and muddy

The Empress and Consort Niuhulu said nothing. They all knew what Korchin was thinking. In the past, at least there was Consort Hui in the harem, Korchin thought, and the Emperor dismissed her with a few words.

Now, it has been nearly a year since Concubine Hui passed away. It is normal for Korqin to have some thoughts.

The Queen had no reason to be angry when she spoke back to Princess Gulun Xingping in a neither soft nor hard way, but with some thorns. Princess Gulun Xingping's attitude was important, and the more domineering she was, the more the Emperor would resist.

For Princess Gulun Xingping, the most important thing is the attitude of the Empress Dowager. Now she is just waiting for the Empress Dowager to speak. Whether she is a human or a ghost, we can tell from this.

It is hard to say whether Princess Gulun Xingping's thoughts were not influenced by her mother, the Empress Dowager.

All I can say is that environment determines character.

It was hard for Princess Gulun Xingping not to be suspicious. She was born in that era and had witnessed such miracles.

So it is hard to understand why no matter who sits on the throne, the emperor will not allow Khorchin to have another queen. The emperor even does not want another Mongolian concubine to appear in the palace.

Just as in the eyes and heart of Princess Gulun Xingping, her origin in Khorchin Mongolia would never be an obstacle, but would definitely be a help.

Princess Gulun Xingping was also very clear about her advantages. She had a legitimate mother who was born in Khorchin.

The Empress Dowager undoubtedly values ​​her mother's family.

Therefore, even though her uncle committed a serious crime and her father wanted to marry her off to someone else, the Empress Dowager still made the decision to marry her, the legitimate princess, back to Khorchin.

Therefore, even though the emperor's younger brother was about to take power after his wedding, the person chosen for the wedding could never be outside the scope of Khorchin.

It is hard to say. On the one hand, it is because the regent father Dorgon is powerful, and the remarriage between the emperor's brother and Khorchin is nothing more than strengthening Khorchin's influence and strong support behind the emperor's brother. It also strengthens the influence of the Manchu-Mongolian marriage and the national policy.

But on the other hand, it was the selfishness of the Grand Empress Dowager. She wanted to promote her mother's family. It was like this before, and it will not change now. From now on, it will be difficult for anything to change.

Therefore, after Princess Gulun Xingping finished speaking, she waited confidently for her father-in-law to express his opinion.

The Emperor's Ene had lived through three dynasties and had also occupied the harem for three generations. If Korchin wanted to bring in another person, it would naturally require the Emperor's Ene's approval, which would greatly increase the possibility. Even if someone came in, the Emperor's Ene would have to take care of them.

She has been married to Mongolia for many years, and even more so to Khorchin for many years. Now she has children and grandchildren. The honor and disgrace of Princess Gulun Xingping has long been closely tied to Mongolia and Khorchin.

You can't blame her for thinking about herself. Everyone is selfish! It's instinct.

All I can say is that Princess Gulun Xingping is a good planner and has made good calculations.

It's just hard to come true.

The Empress Dowager has lived for so many years. She has accompanied Emperor Taizong for so many years. She has also assisted the previous emperor and the current emperor, and has gone through so many intrigues with many ministers.

The eldest daughter's little thoughts were as transparent as white paper in front of her.

The Empress Dowager was speechless. She was naturally looking forward to the concubines of Korchin entering the palace and gaining favor, but no matter how favored they were, they were just favored. After all, the Queen was the Queen and needed to be respected by the people of the world.

She wanted to send concubines to the palace, and she acted like this to the queen. The Empress Dowager was also a little worried about her eldest daughter's intelligence! Even if concubines came to the palace, they would have to live under the queen's control.

The emperor has grown up and has his own thoughts. The Empress Dowager sighed. "I am old now. I will accept the filial piety of my daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, no matter who it is, as long as they are filial to me. They are all the same. Do I have to wait for someone to be filial to me?"

He glanced at his daughter-in-law, the Empress Dowager; his two daughters, both Princesses of the First Rank; and his grandchildren's wives, the Empress, Consort Niuhulu, the wife of Prince Yu, and the wife of Prince Gong.

Concubine Nianhulu could not be considered a legitimate daughter-in-law, but in the early Qing Dynasty, the five concubines were all considered the legitimate wives of Emperor Taizong, the only difference was the order of precedence.

Concubine Niuhulu, with her family background and character, is naturally worthy of being respected.

"The Emperor!" Princess Gulun Xingping said coquettishly. The Emperor did not favor anyone, and for her, that meant he did not favor her.

"Empress Dowager," the Empress Dowager came out to smooth things over. She glanced at the Empress, Concubine Niuhulu, and the concubines waiting in Kunning Palace with their brows lowered and eyes lowered, and said with a smile, "The Empress and Concubine Niuhulu specially brought the Emperor's concubines to greet us. Why don't we go into the palace first and stop standing here?"

The Empress Dowager spoke softly and had a good temper. Even if she had a bad temper, she would not have survived the uproar of the late emperor who deposed her year after year. Only by being calm and peaceful can one live long.

The Grand Empress Dowager knew that the Empress Dowager had come out to smooth things over. Some things can be said in secret, but if they are said openly, it will make the whole palace look bad.

The Empress Dowager also knew that after all, she was her own daughter and everyone had selfish desires. Even if the Grand Empress Dowager did not say it on the surface, in her heart she did not want Princess Gulun Xingping to lose face.

How could the emperor not feel distressed?
The Empress Dowager dismounted and said, "Let's go to the palace first!"

As soon as the Grand Empress Dowager finished her words, the Empress, Princess Gulun Xingping, the Empress Dowager and others all reached out to help, saying that serving the elders is the responsibility of the younger generation.

"I don't need anyone to come, I can walk!" The Empress Dowager rejected everyone equally. Even though she was old, she was not so old that she could not walk. The Empress Dowager was still proud and at ease.

The Empress, Consort Nianhulu and others were all used to staying in the palace, so they left as the Empress Dowager did not need them.

Turning around, I saw Princess Gulun Shuhui. Princess Gulun Shuhui had a different temperament from Princess Gulun Xingping. She was much more stable and gentle.

If Princess Gulun Xingping and Princess Gulun Shuhui were swapped, they would be formidable rivals. Although the queen was still wary, she hated making enemies everywhere, so she would not make things difficult for Princess Gulun Shuhui.

Being gentle and steady doesn't mean you don't have any ulterior motives.

With a slight smile and a gentle nod, kindness and hospitality are evident in every line and every pause.

It was hard to tell for the Queen, as she was not used to others coveting the seat behind her.

"I'm going with the Empress Dowager." Princess Gulun Xingping took the Empress Dowager's arm and said coquettishly. It was reasonable for a daughter to go with her biological mother.

The Empress Dowager would never give her daughter too much face. She would always have some selfish motives. How could she not love her own child?

They had already been equal once, so the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to reject her. After all, the Empress Dowager was getting older, and even when she was young, she also yearned for the happiness of family.

Now, the only ones she has left alive are these two children. No one else can replace them! The Grand Empress Dowager looked past the Empress and the Empress Dowager and landed on her second daughter.

Finally agreed.

When it comes to the people you love, you always try to smooth things over and be biased unconsciously.
