Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 102 Hepin's Curiosity

"It's a pity that Xu Jing is not here today," Hepin took a sip of milk tea, "The Ninth Lady is newly married now, and I heard that the Tenth Prince especially respects you, so you won't be bullied by the concubines in the backyard."

"The whole palace knows the character of the Tenth Prince. He respects everyone. I, the Ninth Prince's sister-in-law, am also blessed by the Ninth Prince. Besides, with the Ninth Prince here, the concubines in the backyard will not allow me to bully him." Wen Yao smiled and said, "How can I compare with the Queen? The Queen has been the main lady since she entered the palace for a year. Are you all right?"

"The Emperor has shown me mercy and granted me the title of concubine. If I say I am doing well, I would be lying. If I say I am not doing well, I am really lucky," Concubine He sighed and looked out the door. "I am young, childless, and have no outstanding family background. How many people can truly respect me? The Ninth Lady is the first one to visit me."

A trace of sadness flashed across Hepin's eyes. It would be great to be a concubine, but how many people in the harem would look up to her? Once she was disliked by the emperor, she would have a hard time in the harem. Who made her have nothing?

"It's already extraordinary to be loved by the Emperor, so why should you be uneasy, Concubine He? In fact, if no one comes to chat with you, you can go to other people, right? For example, my mother, my mother likes to look at beauties," Wen Yao said with a smile, "Sometimes you need to kill time in the palace, so find something to do."

"Tomorrow I will go to see Concubine Yi. If Concubine Yi dislikes me, I will say that it was the Ninth Lady who asked me to come here," Hepin smiled again, then looked at Wen Yao and said, "By the way, speaking of Concubine Yi, I heard that the husband of the fourth princess, Princess Gulun Kejing, Dunduobuduoerji, has been promoted to the Heshuo Prince and Tushetu Khan. The fourth princess is especially favored."

"I know that. Your Majesty is well-informed. If that's true, I'm really happy for the Fourth Princess. It couldn't be better for our Qing Dynasty's princesses who are married to foreign countries to be favored." Wen Yao thought about how many princesses who were married to foreign countries in ancient times had a good ending. Among them, Princess Kejing was one of them. She was the Sea Clam Princess!

If there was one princess who had a slightly better ending when she was married off, it would be Princess Jieyou. She was married off for several years, held power for several years, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, I also heard the emperor mention it that time, and I am really happy for the Fourth Princess. I kept it in mind and often motivate myself. I am now a concubine without a child, so what if the people in the harem don't like it? Is it harder for me than the Fourth Princess?" Hepin said as if she was no longer tense. "If I motivate myself in this way, I won't feel so bad."

"Your Majesty is right to think so. If you feel bored in the future, which majesty would not welcome you in the harem? You are a favored concubine now," Wen Yao said with a smile. There are no 'bad people' around a favored concubine.

Just like there are no 'bad people' around powerful and wealthy people, only people with smiles on their faces.

"Seeing you smile freely every day, this palace is also envious," Hepin looked at Wen Yao, "Your smile is from the heart, which makes this palace happy. How about the Fifth Prince's Mansion? That time was really thrilling," she raised her hand and waved to the servants. After everyone left, "I think it's good that Liu Jia died."

"I didn't pay much attention to it. I would go out of the palace to visit the Fifth Sister-in-law occasionally. The rest was done by the Ninth Master. I wouldn't ask what he did. That's a man's business," Wen Yao frowned. "Speaking of which, anyone who hears it will feel sorry for the Fifth Sister-in-law, but the Fifth Prince didn't do much wrong!"

[Ugh! This is definitely not what I really think, God, don’t believe it! ]

"Even if the Fifth Prince was wrong, it was not wrong. The Fifth Lady complained about the heavens and others instead of fighting for herself. Did she still want a prince to please her? In the end, she complained about the heavens and the earth. Why bother?" Hepin disagreed with the Fifth Lady's approach. In the end, she hurt herself. "I wanted to hate and take revenge, but I was too concerned."

Hepin shook her head. Really revenge? She felt even more aggrieved. If she really wanted revenge, the bowl of medicine should be given to the Fifth Prince to drink, but she couldn't say that.

As a result, the rumors have now turned into a dispute between wives and concubines. What loss is there for the Fifth Prince?

reputation?

Even if Hetala was not around, there would still be many people vying for the position of Fifth Prince's successor.

"Fifth sister-in-law is kind-hearted. She always puts herself in a difficult position. Even when she is angry, she only sulks with me. Now she didn't expect that she would be harmed by Liu Jia... Alas..." Wen Yao shook her head helplessly, "Fifth Prince didn't expect that he was worried about the eldest princess, but I concealed it and didn't report it, which led to this... Alas..."

Wen Yao naturally would not tell the truth. Family affairs should be resolved by family members, and only family members should know about it. But she cannot talk nonsense in front of outsiders. This is the most basic thing.

Hepin smiled and picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and then sighed, "The Fifth Lady can't take care of it now. The backyard is in chaos... The concubine even had a miscarriage. It's helpless."

Wen Yao thought that the Fifth Prince's concubine was from the Guaerjia clan, and the concubine was also from the Guaerjia clan. Fortunately, she was careful, otherwise she would have fallen into the trap. These beauties are beautiful, but they are all poisonous!

No wonder Zhang Wuji’s mother told him that the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous she is!

So poisonous!

"Now I remember that Fifth Brother's concubine is from the Guaerjia clan, but she is from the same clan as Concubine He?" Wen Yao said in surprise, "No wonder Your Majesty cares about these things. In fact, Concubine Liu is the culprit who instigated Concubine Liu to attack Concubine He. Now... the eldest prince Hongsheng knows about it, so..."

"She is not from the same clan as me. I was also surprised when I heard the news. Even though we are not from the same clan, I also asked around." Hepin did not expect the Ninth Lady to be so direct. She felt relieved. She liked to be talked to by straightforward people. "If she had not instigated Liu Jia's crime, the matter would not have been resolved so peacefully. The Guarjia clan would naturally not agree."

"Your Majesty and the concubine are not from the same clan? This matter has not been exposed, but it was discussed by the Guwalja clan and the Fifth Prince?" Wen Yao looked at Concubine He and asked.

Hepin put down the teacup, with a hint of intrigue on her face. "The Guarjia clan has many branches. I belong to the Antu Guarjia clan, the Bordered Red Banner, and the concubine, like the Crown Princess, belongs to the Suwan Guarjia clan, the Plain White Banner."

"I am just curious," Concubine He did not hide her gossipy nature. "As for why this matter has not been exposed, is it because the Guarjia clan and the Fifth Prince discussed it? If it is exposed, both sides will suffer. If it is not exposed, both sides can save their faces and both sides will benefit. Why not do it?"

But she already knew everything she needed to know, and Concubine He was indifferent to it, so she was happy to watch the show.

Anyway, no matter whose fault it is, the royal family cannot be wrong. Just watch the show, but don’t really get involved, or you might be mad to death!

"You don't know all this?" Hepin looked at Wen Yao, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked.
