Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 120 She borrowed a knife to kill

"Noble Lady Yuan is rather...stubborn. She rarely appears in front of me with Xu Jing. After all, I asked Xu Jing to return to Qixiang Palace," Hepin smiled helplessly. "I know she is grateful, but she is...overly grateful."

"That's because Concubine He is popular, and Concubine Yuan really respects you," Wen Yao could guess Concubine Yuan's thoughts. As for the calculations behind them, they were harmless, and at least she was really sensible.

"If it weren't for Xun Jing, I would be angry. This is too much." Hepin and Wen Yao looked at each other and smiled. "It depends on whether Xun Jing can be called. It's also to give Xun Jing face. Putting this aside, why did you come here at this time? Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I just went to see my mother. Isn't the Emperor at my mother's place? I came to ask you for a meal," Wen Yao smiled and looked at Hepin. "Just now the Emperor said that you, Hepin, complained about me."

Hepin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "I can't remember that, I have complained too much about you." This was also the truth. She believed that the emperor would not lie, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Come on, come on, give Concubine He a chance to complain in person," Wen Yao still prefers Concubine He. She is gentle but strong-willed. She seems easy to talk to, but in fact, she means what she says. If someone tries to trip her up, she will be gentle and kind, but she will fight back in this way. She is very decisive and ruthless.

"By the way, Concubine He, how is the maid in your palace who climbed into the bed? Why didn't she come out to show off in front of me this time?" Wen Yao thought of the maid who climbed into the bed before. Several times when she came to find Concubine He, she deliberately appeared in front of her with an aggrieved and pitiful look on her face. Wen Yao also specifically asked Nanny Cui He if she looked a little stupid!

Wen Yao had wondered more than once whether the word "idiot" was written on her face.

"She? She was scolded by Xu Jing and reported to the emperor. She was demoted to an official lady and confined to her house for a year." A trace of coldness flashed across Hepin's eyes, but her face was still smiling softly. "Don't worry, she won't appear in front of you again. I am still too gentle to them."

Hepin glanced at the servants in the palace and at the door. "So after this incident, all servants will resume their previous treatment and follow the rules. Don't rest. After all, if you rest too much, you will have other thoughts. I don't want any more ungrateful people, otherwise I will be laughed at again."

Wen Yao looked at several palace maids not far away and their bodies stiffened for a moment. A trace of resentment flashed across her eyes. Then she looked at the way Concubine He winked at her, and she seemed to understand that this was a case of killing someone with a borrowed knife!

These palace maids are not ordinary people, they are all from bannermen families. It can even be said that those who can enter the palace as palace maids have some strength, or have joined a certain family, etc.!

This is the reason why little devils are difficult to deal with. What Hepin said just now shows that she has lowered the treatment of these servants. After being used to a leisurely life, who would want to go back to the time when they were exhausted and had to eat and drink? At that time, everyone will transfer their resentment to the person who climbed into the bed.

"Well done," Wen Yao praised without hesitation. Many people wanted to climb into bed with him. It was not because Kangxi was good-looking, the key was that he was the emperor. By climbing into his bed, they could transform from slaves to masters. This alone was what many slaves dreamed of.

However, there are not many self-righteous servants. Those who can climb onto the dragon bed not only have a certain appearance, but also have high emotional intelligence. Take the palace maid who climbed onto the bed in Qixiang Palace for example, generally, the palace maids who climbed onto the bed would not use such despicable means to frame Concubine He in order to show their grievances!

After all, the harem is a women's world, and women can see women more clearly than men can.

At that time, Yinsi's biological mother, Concubine Wei, knelt down to Concubine Hui every day when no one was around, and it took her three whole years. For example, Concubine De paid the price by giving birth to her son and serving Empress Xiaoyi for four years, and no longer appearing in front of Yinzhen.

Another example is Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi knelt in the Cining Palace when the Grand Empress Dowager was still alive. For a full four years, Yinqi was raised by the Empress Dowager, and there was also the Empress Dowager's hand in pressuring Concubine Yi.

Why would they rather suffer injustice than show the slightest resentment?

All I can say is that those who can be promoted are all smart people.

"I have been abandoned by the emperor," Concubine He's voice was soft, but her words were cold. The most terrifying thing in the harem is the emperor's abandonment. People who are abandoned by the emperor usually don't live long, and it is reasonable for them to die.

Wen Yao knew that Kangxi required all concubines in the harem, regardless of their status, to visit him at least once a year, and this might be the reason.

"You're responsible for your own mistakes. Last time, she even wanted me to do justice for her, as if if I didn't stand up to you for her, I would be fawning on the higher-ups. Yes, I am fawning on the higher-ups, what can she do to me!" Wen Yao got angry when she thought of this, "If she had the ability, she would also be in a higher position. If she had the ability, she would also be prettier than the queen!"

"Haha," Hepin covered her mouth and laughed softly, "You dare to say that. I was relieved at that time, but only you dare to say that."

Hepin looked at Wen Yao. She didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the princes. She just wanted to live the rest of her life in peace. She only chatted with Wen Yao a few times. She also got along well with Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui. The boredom and loneliness in the harem were greatly reduced.

Being with Wen Yao, she seemed to be able to let herself go for a while, to make jokes, and to relax the rules for a while.

"By the way, you all should go down first," Concubine He called out to the servants in the palace, and looked at Xun Jing and Concubine Yuan who came in, "Concubine Yuan, it seems that Xun Jing still has more face."

Concubine Yuan was about to kneel down, but Concubine He stopped her in time, "Don't kneel anymore, come and sit down, I was just joking."

"Mother, I was just joking with you. You should come and chat with her more often so that you don't stay stuck in the room and get sick," Xu Jing also sighed. What's the good of having his own mother in the room?

"He's mother, why did you let me go down?" Xu Jing sat directly beside Wen Yao, "Nine Sister-in-law, we will have dinner together later."

"Okay, I just came here to eat with Concubine He," Wen Yao replied with a smile, then looked at Concubine Yuan, "Hello, Concubine Yuan."

"Good morning, Ninth Lady," Concubine Yuan nodded, then looked at Concubine He, "Please don't blame me, Concubine He. I don't like to go out, and I have to trouble Concubine He every time I go out."

"How did you bother me? It's Xu Jing who is in trouble," Hepin said with a smile, decisively changing the subject, not wanting to dwell on this topic. "By the way, Wenyao, I heard that you and the Third Lady often...disagree when you are in the boudoir?"

"Your Highness, there's no need to be so euphemistic. We are not on good terms right now," Wen Yao didn't care. After all, it was not a secret.
