Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 132

After Kangxi left, all the concubines stood up, only Concubine Hui remained motionless and knelt on the cold ground.

The imperial concubine frowned and snorted coldly: "Okay, get up, Concubine Hui, you have been in the palace for many years, and you should have made some progress. Why can't you even discipline the people in your own palace in the end?"

The imperial concubine's voice paused, and her tone changed: "I forgot, the emperor has demoted my younger sister's position, and my younger sister has now become a concubine Hui." The imperial concubine deliberately emphasized the word "Concubine Hui" tone.

As soon as her words came out, all the concubines looked at Concubine Hui with mocking smiles.

Concubine Hui wanted to use her niece to win the emperor's favor, but she lost her concubine position because of her own niece, and became a joke in the harem. She was really clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

She has been in the palace for many years, and gave birth to her elder brother. Although she is not domineering on weekdays, she also looks down on them.At this moment, the emperor didn't care about the elder brother's face at all and lowered her position, let's see how she can still smile in the future.

Concubine Hui knelt there with her head lowered, feeling the mocking gazes cast from all directions, she couldn't help clenching her fists, her long nails dug into her palms, but she couldn't feel any pain.

Probably, the pain was so long that she lost consciousness.

She was so unwilling, unwilling to lose the concubine position that she had managed for so many years in an instant.She hated it so much, she wished she could strangle Yu Guiren to death, and wished she could trample all those who saw her jokes under their feet.

However, at this time, she could only endure it, because she no longer had that qualification.

"It's all the concubine's fault, and the concubine will definitely obey your mother's teaching." Concubine Hui pleaded guilty, with a rare submissiveness in her words.

"Concubine Hui, don't be too sad. The lady was also affected by the nobleman Yu, otherwise how could she be in this situation. Fortunately, the nobleman Yu has been sent to Xinzheku by the emperor. You can also breathe a sigh of relief, concubine Hui. It's gone." As soon as Concubine Hui finished speaking, someone comforted her immediately.

"No, it's said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. It might be a good thing for the empress to lose her concubine position. The empress should think about it."

"Okay!" The imperial concubine glanced at the court lady kneeling in the corner, and reprimanded, "Hurry up and help your master get up!"

The palace maid responded, and hurriedly got up and walked forward to help Concubine Hui up.

Xu Shi knelt for too long, Concubine Hui's legs were so numb that she couldn't feel anything, she could only let the maid help her to stand up, she looked extremely embarrassed.

This scene fell in the eyes of all the concubines, let alone how comfortable they felt.Concubine Hui was demoted, and there was only one concubine position vacant. As long as she could please the emperor, she would not be able to survive the day of concubine concubine.

The imperial concubine cast a cold glance at Concubine Hui, and without saying a word, she walked straight out with Nanny Gui.

Seeing the imperial concubine leave, the rest of the concubines naturally couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so they turned and left one after another.

After all the concubines left, Concubine Hui finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.After being frightened at first, and then suffering so many blows and humiliations one after another, Concubine Hui's body could no longer bear it.

"Your Majesty! Come quickly, Your Majesty has fainted." Seeing her own Empress fainted, the palace maid supporting her hurriedly shouted outside.

For a while, Zhongcui Palace was in a mess up and down.

The news that the nobleman was filled into Xinzhe's library and Concubine Hui was demoted quickly spread throughout the harem.

When Wang Miheng heard it, he couldn't believe it.

She thought that if the nobleman murdered the emperor's heir, he would at most be given death. Unexpectedly, Kangxi was more ruthless than she imagined, and directly filled the nobleman with Xin Zheku as a slave.On the surface, it seems to have given Yugui a grace and spared her life.But in fact, Yu Guiren feared that life would be worse than death.

Entering a place like Xinzheku, one does the dirtiest and most tiring rough work in the harem, which is unbearable for ordinary people, let alone a proud girl like Yugui who can't carry her shoulders or hands.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Yugui can bear it, the gaps in her heart will torture her all the time.

Once he was a slave and suffered all kinds of humiliation, Yu Guiren was afraid that he wanted to die.

However, Kangxi made another decree not to let her die. With such a decree, Mrs. Yugui really had no choice but to seek death.

"Master Yugui can be regarded as self-inflicted and unable to live." Wang Miheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"No, it's said that a tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring, and the nobleman can even kill his own daughter, so how cruel is that. The servant sent someone to inquire, and the imperial doctor said that the little princess is weak. At most, it’s just two days.” Qiumei’s voice paused, and then said: “I also heard that it’s because the little princess was a fool when she was born, and Yugui is afraid of being ridiculed by the people in the harem after she knows it. She was also afraid of being rejected by the emperor, so she moved her mind to drown the little princess." Qiumei said, with a bit of sympathy in her tone.

Wang Miheng listened, and couldn't help sighing: "With such a mother, the little princess is also a poor one."

Hearing Wang Miheng's words, Qiumei nodded repeatedly: "That's not true, but then again, the most unacceptable thing in the royal family is to have crippled heirs. The little princess has gone early to avoid suffering in the future."

Wang Miheng nodded slightly, thinking of Kangxi's seventh elder brother, Yinyou, who was neglected in the harem because of his disabled legs and poor mobility.The little princess is also a daughter, so naturally she faces many more problems than Seventh Brother.

Seeing that her master was silent, Qiumei was stunned, and then comforted her: "Your Majesty, please be more at ease, it's all about Zhongcui Palace, it has nothing to do with us."

Wang Miheng raised his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "No, everything can happen in this palace, if you want to take everything to heart, then you have to live." He smiled relievedly, and shook Qiumei's hand. hand.

"It would be great if the master can be relieved. Now Concubine Hui has been demoted by the emperor, and there is a vacancy for the fourth concubine. If the empress can give the emperor another elder brother, the emperor will be happy and may be promoted to the position of master. "

"You can talk nonsense like this!" Listening to Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng scolded with a serious face.

"Master calm down, slaves don't dare anymore." Seeing Wang Miheng's seldom seriousness, Qiumei immediately knelt down on the ground.

Wang Miheng glanced at her, and said: "I know that you are thinking of me. But this kind of matter is not for you and me to decide. If it spreads to the ears of someone who cares, something will inevitably happen."

"Yes, this servant knows." Qiumei hurriedly lowered her head, and Nuonuo responded.

"Okay, it's cold on the ground, stop kneeling, and go see how the little elder brother and the little princess are sleeping?" Wang Miheng couldn't bear to be too harsh, and ordered aloud.

"Yes." Qiumei replied respectfully, then stood up and walked out of the hall.

In the room, only Wang Miheng was left alone, Wang Miheng looked at Qiumei's leaving back, and shook his head slightly.

She didn't dare to imagine that one day she could become a concubine.

She is a Han woman, and the ancestral Han women in the Qing Dynasty were at best a noble person. Now that Kangxi has made an exception and gave her the concubine, she is content.As long as she can keep the two little buns by her side, she doesn't care if it's a concubine or concubine.After all, they are both Kangxi's concubine, so what difference can there be?It is nothing more than a higher status, and more responsibilities to be performed.

What's more, some things should not be said indiscriminately.She was already hated by others, if this word got out, something might happen to her.

She is a person who always feels that one thing more is worse than one thing less.She can stay in Qixiang Palace well and be her secret concubine, she is already very content.

As for the others, it's too early to think about it, or in other words, it's useless to think about it.Surviving in the harem, in more cases, is not what you think, but what Kangxi thinks. Isn't Concubine Hui a living example.

She has been in the palace for many years, she has a big elder brother by her side, and her foundation is quite deep, so she can't help but think about what she shouldn't.

That's why I brought Yugui into the palace, and tried my best to make her be favored and pregnant.But what happened in the end, it was just being clever and being misunderstood by cleverness.

If Mrs. Yugui hadn't entered the palace, she might still be the high concubine Hui, but now, Kangxi's decree made her fall from the concubine to the concubine.The gap between them is obviously not something that can be accommodated in a day or two.

Therefore, what is due to you is yours. If Kangxi wants to give it to you, you can't escape.If you don't want to give it, it's useless to miss it.

She understood this kind of truth early on.No matter how careful planning is, the women in the harem are more scheming than Kangxi.Otherwise, how could they be the emperor's little wives while they were the emperor?In addition to gender, of course IQ is also a very important reason.

Wang Miheng thought, under such circumstances, she'd better behave herself, and let her live as she did before.

Different from Wang Miheng's thoughts, there were not a few people in the harem who were moved by the demotion of Concubine Hui.

The next day, a concubine stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace and said that she wanted to bring some snacks to Kangxi.However, Kangxi didn't see any of them, and was stopped by Li Dequan outside the hall.

Even so, it failed to shake the hearts of the concubines.

In order to win Kangxi's favor, many people began to wash and dress up at five o'clock, and when they walked to Qianqing Palace, they were naturally extremely charming.

Qixiang Palace
Qiumei looked at her master flipping through the book, and couldn't help asking: "Master, does anyone know who sent the emperor some snacks today?"

Wang Miheng glanced at her, but said nothing, obviously not interested.

"The maidservants can't figure it out. The little princess is going to die soon. How dare they hang around in front of the emperor. It's a good thing the emperor didn't let people in. Otherwise, if the emperor sees them, he might deal with them all."

Hearing Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng raised his head and said with a smile: "That's right, I've made progress, and I didn't persuade your master to go too."

Wang Miheng's words made Qiumei blush, and she said embarrassingly: "The servant has been serving the master for a long time, and the eyelids are naturally not so shallow. At this time, it is better to be quiet."

"That's right, even with a concubine like Xiang's temperament, it's not like there's no movement at all right now." Wang Miheng smiled and said thoughtfully.

When something like that happened, Kangxi would naturally not be in a good mood. Whoever gets involved will become cannon fodder and will not get any favors.
