Chapter 353: Sisters at odds under control
On the other side, Concubine Nianhulu also received news that the Bai tribe was going to present a beauty, and she knew that the beauty was unusual.
It is said that her appearance is like the frost on the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain, clean and pure, like crystal, exquisite and without the slightest flaw.
Her cold temperament is like the snow in the Forbidden City in winter. Her dance is so pure and beautiful that no man can remain unmoved.
"Is it really that beautiful?" Concubine Nianhulu's eyes lit up when she heard this and she asked quickly.
If she had heard in the past that someone was presenting such a beauty to the emperor, she would have been jealous and fearful, but now she just wanted such a peerless beauty to appear and let Shi Nanxi taste the feeling of being out of favor and watch her fall into disgrace.
Nanny Qin nodded affirmatively.
"The old lady sent a message specifically saying that the emperor is clear about rewards and punishments. Since he didn't give you a reward, it means that the emperor will give the credit to the sons of the Niuhulu family. He will never treat our Niuhulu family unfairly. You should stay calm in the harem and don't be impulsive."
Because of the appearance of Concubine Xian, the queen had taken action repeatedly, causing her to go from being the number one in the harem who had favor, palace power and the prince's son to being a concubine who is like a transparent person. After the family conferred titles on the six palaces, they finally realized something and gave a solemn reminder.
Imperial Concubine Niuhulu's expression of joy froze for a moment, she lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said:
"I understand. I will not act impulsively again. Anyway, as long as that beauty is really that beautiful, Concubine Xian's good days will be over."
At the end of her speech, her tone was full of anticipation. She was looking forward to the arrival of the foreign vassal banquet. Concubine Xian must be looking very happy.
Therefore, in the following days, the harem was peaceful except for the excitement of the New Year. Many people's speculation that Concubine Nianhulu would take any action because she was not canonized did not happen, and Concubine Nianhulu and Concubine Xian met in harmony.
Concubine Wu did not take any action and was even more low-key than before. It was said that she personally instructed Concubine Uya to send two midwives to the Fourth Prince's concubine Shi, and was wholeheartedly concerned about her first grandson.
These two people did not take any action, and there were too many concubines in the six palaces who were to be conferred titles this time, so the rest were basically happy.
There was only a small incident in the Yikun Palace. It was said that Noble Lady Jing had an argument with Concubine Yi, whose title had been restored.
The cause was that the Sixth Princess felt guilty for not being able to help her mother, Concubine Jing, to obtain the position of concubine. As a result, when she went to Yiku Palace, she saw her aunt, Concubine Yi, celebrating because she had regained her title, and her mother was congratulating her with a forced smile.
The Sixth Princess couldn't help but speak up for her mother, but was refuted by the servants around Concubine Yi.
Later, the sixth princess developed a fever after returning home, and because of this, the two sisters, who had always had a good relationship, quarreled for the first time.
However, later I heard that Concubine Yi punished the servant and went to visit the Sixth Princess in person. In the end, the Sixth Princess recovered and the two sisters reconciled.
Shi Nanxi knew that although Concubine Yi and her sister seemed to have reconciled, in fact, Noble Lady Jing had a rift with Concubine Yi and even hatred towards her.
She also didn't expect that when she revealed the news that the Sixth Princess wanted to help Concubine Jing to get promoted to the throne to Concubine Wu, Concubine Wu was so powerful that she not only quickly and accurately instigated the two parties from the Sixth Princess, but also investigated a secret.
It turned out that Concubine Jing also had a little prince. What was rare was that although the little prince was a little weak after he was born, he was not as sickly as other princes. Instead, he was quite healthy. At that time, Kangxi had not many princes, so he liked this healthy prince very much.
It just so happened that Concubine Yi also gave birth to the ninth prince at that time, but he was sickly when he was born. Her fifth prince was given to the Empress Dowager when he was born. The ninth prince was the first little prince that she raised personally.
Concubine Yi felt distressed and worried. At this time, she saw that the little prince born to her sister in the same palace was healthy and loved by the emperor, but the emperor rarely visited her ninth prince, so she felt unfair.
After seeing the emperor come to Yikun Palace and go straight to visit her sister's little prince again, she suddenly made a decision.
It was winter at the time, and the little prince caught a cold, so she placed silver charcoal around the house for heating. She had people quietly close all the windows in the house at night, and then quietly open them again in the morning. She repeated this for several days.
Concubine Yi's intention was not actually to take the little prince's life. She just heard that people who were poisoned by charcoal burning would have their health deteriorate, so she wanted the little prince to be as sickly as the ninth prince. However, she did not expect the little prince to die suddenly.
This matter was kept secret. Concubine Jing never knew about it and never suspected her sister, Concubine Yi.
Because Concubine Yi had done something wrong, she treated Concubine Jing very well and took good care of her, including the Sixth Princess.
But Concubine Wu was born into a bannerman family. She actually investigated this secret and revealed the truth to the Sixth Princess.
That's why the usually smart and sensible Sixth Princess lost her composure that day, because she learned this secret. She later developed a fever also because of this secret. Concubine Jing didn't know about it, and she even had an argument with Concubine Yi over the Sixth Princess.
Later, she learned the truth from the Sixth Princess. She sat there in silence all night. The next day, she went to the main hall and did not question her sister, Concubine Yi, but apologized to her without mentioning the little prince at all.
But precisely because of this, it shows that there is a rift between Concubine Jing and Concubine Yi. She is so forbearing, either she wants to bury the truth underground forever for the sake of her family and pretend that they don't know, or she is already plotting revenge in her heart.
According to Shi Nanxi, Concubine Jing returned to her previous state after that and even became closer to Concubine Yi.
This is obviously abnormal. Only if one has something to gain would he behave like this after the revenge of his son's murder. Shi Nanxi raised the corners of her lips.
There are many grievances between her and Concubine Guo Luoluo, but she will not dirty her hands in order to retaliate against the other party.
This is very good. It allows Concubine Jing to avenge her little prince, and Concubine Guo Luoluo can also be said to have received retribution for her actions.
As for Concubine Wu, she is more scheming than Concubine Yi, but she is not in a hurry. She has always been the best hunter and will slowly wait for the opportunity to strike.
Throwing the note in his hand into the brazier, Shi Nanxi picked up Xixi, pondered for a moment, and ordered:
"Our people should stop paying attention to this matter in the future."
Hongying was puzzled:
"How about we wait a little longer? Lady Jing hasn't taken any action yet?"
"No need. The hardest thing for people to guard against is always blood relatives, just like when Concubine Jing failed to guard against Concubine Yi. This time the two have switched places, and we just need to wait for the result."
"Yes, your majesty." Hongying agreed.
At this moment, Shi Nanxi, who was touching Xixi's hand, suddenly paused and chuckled.
"So that's how it is. Imperial Concubine Niuhulu must have already known about the White Tribe's gift of a beauty. No wonder she's so quiet. It turns out she's waiting here."
That day, she and Kangxi were shameless and made love in broad daylight. After they were done, Kangxi hugged her and told her everything.
She also knew that Kangxi had already chosen a marriage partner for the tribal beauty, so she was looking forward to the foreign vassal banquet.
