Chapter 268 Kangxi Concubine Ping 5
Chapter 268 Kangxi Concubine Ping 5
The news about Concubine De in Yonghe Palace that Xuetuan brought was enough for Wu Lingzhu to digest for a long time, and then she had to sigh that there was a reason why she could succeed with some people.
How old is Concubine De?
I'm only in my early twenties this year.
Concubine Dai Jia was the most powerful concubine after her. After the two actions of Concubine De, Kangxi no longer had any affection for Concubine Dai Jia. Although they had a child, the child was born with a crooked foot. Even if he was a prince, his future achievements were already in sight.
Especially since the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince were born one after the other, and the Fifth Prince was given to the Empress Dowager to be raised. Among the three princes of the same period, Kangxi had no choice but to give his favor to the Sixth Prince!
Wu Lingzhu said that she needed to learn more about this abacus.
In her first life, she was still too naive. No one had ever doubted anything about Concubine Dai Jia. It was estimated that Concubine Dai Jia herself did not doubt it.
The Kangxi period was still changeable, and it was not uncommon for favor to come and go quickly.
Wu Lingzhu asked some more details and said that he would make more delicious dried fish this time to express his gratitude.
Xiaodunzi was indeed still young, and within two days Su Bai brought a tabby cat over. Su Bai introduced his new friend Xiaobu to him. Xiaobu had no one to take care of him, so he mainly relied on help from his friends to live in this palace.
He understood the ways of the cat better and thought that she would be a good long-term meal ticket. He followed Xiaodunzi more seriously than the other cats and was the first to discover the clue.
After going through a familiar process, Xiaobu started to report after eating and drinking: […Xiaodunzi was whispering with Xiaoyongzi, a eunuch who was sweeping the imperial garden, for quite a while. The two of them avoided people and behaved furtively. After Xiaodunzi left, Xiaoyongzi went to see a steward named Jianghai from the imperial kitchen.
The steward reprimanded Xiao Yongzi, saying that he had nothing to do and that such news was not worth mentioning, and sent Xiao Yongzi away. Jiang Hai later went to see Madam Liu of Yuqing Palace and told her about your going to Jingyang Palace to borrow books. Madam Liu was not very happy and sent Jiang Hai away, muttering that the little girl was not presentable. ]
She was not too surprised to learn that Xiaodunzi was the prince's man, or was arranged by the people left behind by Queen Yuan.
A heart is at peace.
Only after confirming the origin of the little dumpling could she do something with it.
If there is something she can't do but wants to do, she can use Xiaodunzi's mouth to achieve her goal.
In the first life, the prince was able to be deposed. Although it was because of his powerful opponents and Kangxi’s inhumanity, the group of people around the prince also held him back.
The people her good sister left behind for the prince were truly numerous and truly conceited.
"Thank you, Xiaobu. Chuxiu Palace is quiet. I have specially prepared a small room for you to live in."
Wu Lingzhu only has three rooms of her own, so it is impossible for her to really give one to Xiaobu, but she can separate one room from her bedroom.
Xiaobu doesn't have high requirements for housing, but: [That dried fish... you see?]
Wu Lingzhu smiled and said, "Enough. Not only dried fish, but I will also prepare other cat food for you in the future."
It is much cheaper to keep a cat than a person.
There is no need to worry about being betrayed, and they are easy to feed. Once again, I sigh that cats are more reliable than people.
She also had some grudge against Depin. After Depin became Concubine De, the Sixth Prince died young. There were rumors that he was killed by Soetu. She didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was true that he made things difficult for her in private.
At that time, Concubine De was very favored, and she suffered greatly from the power of pillow talk, as well as the open and covert ridicule.
She guessed that it was true that Soetu killed the Sixth Prince. Even if he was not the mastermind, he was at least a driving force behind it.
Concubine De didn't dare to do anything to the prince and couldn't deal with Soetu. As a concubine from the Hesheli clan, she became the best punching bag. Kangxi watched coldly from the sidelines. He might not be unaware of her grievances, but he probably felt that she deserved it.
But why?
She didn't want to enter the palace. She entered at the age of ten and was ignorant. There were enemies everywhere and jackals all around her. Some of these dangers came from her good sister's former enemies, and some came from the wives of the future political enemies brought by the prince.
At first, although she was unwilling, due to her family's wealth, she really wanted to follow her family's instructions, work hard to win favor, and then want to help the prince wholeheartedly.
But the prince treated her less attentively than he treated the servants around him.
The child died at the hands of the prince's men, so it no longer mattered whether it was his original intention or not.
In this life, she wants revenge, and she also wants to be superior.
Kangxi, the crown prince, and those "colleagues" who once oppressed her...
Everyone can fight for that high position, so why can't she?
Thinking of this, she was now considering what benefits Depin could bring to her from what she did to Concubine Dai Jia.
Concubine Dai Jia's father had a lot of connections in the Imperial Household Department, and the Sixth Prince was in great favor. When Kangxi named him Yinzuo, one could guess with one's eyes closed what Soetu would do.
When Soetu did things, he always remotely directed the people left behind by Empress Hesheli. The prince was young, and that group of people were used to being ignorant of the world and their actions were rough, so everything they did left traces.
Once Kangxi found out, he would definitely vent his anger on her again.
She doesn't care whether the Sixth Prince lives or dies, but he cannot die at the hands of the Crown Prince's lineage.
Then Concubine Dai Jia is a good candidate, but she has the Seventh Prince, so she might have concerns in her heart and may not kill the Sixth Prince. But this is enough. Cutting off the Sixth Prince's future possibilities may make Depin more uncomfortable than killing him.
You can work hard in this direction.
Chunying came in and reported: "My dear, Xiaodunzi found two colorful munias and two pearl birds. I took a look and they are of excellent quality. It is not easy for ordinary people to find them. But the cages are a bit poor."
If Xiaodunzi was really a poor little bird that was bullied, it would be difficult to find a bird of such good quality in a short period of time. It would be unnecessary to just get a few ordinary cages, which would only make the problem more obvious.
"Xiaodunzi is still young, so it's understandable that he may not have done the details well. Let him bring the bird in!"
"Yes, Grid."
Chunying went out and came back with Xiaodunzi not long after.
Wu Lingzhu looked at the bird cage and the bird in the cage with an expression of great joy. Without waiting for Xiao Dunzi to greet her, she stood up and walked to the bird cage: "No need to be polite. This bird is so beautiful. It's hard for you to find these."
Xiaodunzi had an attitude of "it's my duty as a slave": "It is my honor to serve you."
Wu Lingzhu was convinced by the tone, attitude and content of the words. In her previous life, she had used this attitude to deceive her and Chunying who had just entered the palace. She once again sighed that her loss was not unfair.
"Spring cherry blossoms, enjoy."
"Yes, princess." Chunying was reluctant in her heart, but she still smiled and took the silver and gave it to Xiaodunzi.
After getting the silver, Xiaodunzi's eyes became noticeably brighter, and it seemed that he also liked silver.
It's good that he likes it. I'm just afraid that he doesn't like it. This way I can serve him better.
There is no one more useful than him around her now, and she is absolutely safe with the prince before she goes to bed.
When Chunying saw him take the money, she smiled and said, "This is a reward from the princess. Keep it carefully. Work hard for the princess in the future, and you will get benefits."
"If it weren't for the princess and sister Chunying coming, I would have been bullied like that. I don't know if I could have survived this winter! My life belongs to the princess. I don't want any benefits and I am willing to obey the princess' orders at any time."
As he said that, Xiaodunzi knelt down and kowtowed hard to Wu Lingzhu.
What a “real” person!
Wu Lingzhu was out of sight, with an exceptionally calm expression, but a very moving tone as he spoke: "Chun Ying, hurry up and help Xiao Dunzi up. It's good that you have this intention. In the future, as long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Gege. It is my fortune to have a kind-hearted master like you..."
Another round of flattery.
Chunying helped Xiaodunzi up and sent him back with a friendly attitude.
