Chapter 140 Past Events
In the 14th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Uya was summoned to enter the palace through the Imperial Household Department's selection.
At that time, the emperor's first empress, Hesheli, had just passed away less than a year ago. The emperor was busy raising children in the Qianqing Palace and was not very enthusiastic about matters in the harem.
The emperor rarely goes to the harem, maybe only four or five days in a month.
Even if they come, they just sit for a while and don't stay overnight.
At that time, Tong Jia, who had lost her immediate superior, relied on her status as the emperor's cousin and was very proud of herself. Even the palace maids and eunuchs in Chengqian Palace were considered superior to the servants in other palaces.
Wu Ya was lucky enough to be assigned to Chengqian Palace.
When she learned that she was assigned to Chengqian Palace, Uya was happy. After all, there was a huge difference between serving in the palace of a favored concubine and serving in the palace of an unfavored concubine.
At this time, Uya had no ambition to climb up the social ladder.
She was assigned to clean the palace and rarely showed her face in front of Tong Jia, let alone meet the emperor.
In her impression of the few times she saw Tong Jia, she always seemed to be in high spirits.
This situation continued until Niohuru became the empress, while Tonggiya was only a noble concubine.
Speaking of this, Concubine De couldn't help showing a bit of gloating on her face. With Tong Jia's personality, it would be fine if she was defeated once, but now she has been defeated for the second time.
But she was not like that at the time.
"Cousin! I don't accept it! Why can Niu Hulu be the queen? How am I worse than her?"
The emperor walked out of the main hall of Chengqian Palace, followed by the relentless Tong Jia.
The emperor did not stop. Seeing this, Tong Jia stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's sleeve.
"Cousin! Please take back your order! I don't want to be a concubine!"
"Cousin! Stop making trouble!" The emperor said the first words, "Niu Hulu is the successor after a joint decision between me and the Empress Dowager. There is absolutely no possibility of changing it."
As if he felt his words were too ruthless, the emperor comforted Tong Jia with a few more words: "Okay, cousin, I will compensate you. I have something else to do in the Qianqing Palace, I will come to see you another day."
After saying this, he gently pushed away Tong Jia who was hugging him and strode away.
Tong Jia looked at the emperor's receding back and cried, "Cousin! You lied to me! You liar! This is the second time you've lied to me!"
Uya was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the palace at that moment. Upon hearing this, she secretly looked up at the emperor's back, fearing that the emperor would punish Tong Jia and charge her with a crime of disrespect.
But the emperor didn't say anything. He just stiffened and left Chengqian Palace on his own without anyone noticing.
This was the first time that Uya saw Tonggiya, the proud phoenix, look defeated.
But at that time she only saw that Tong Jia was ungrateful for what she had, and took advantage of the emperor's favor to say anything.
Unlike the palace maids, they were afraid that the emperor would blame them and Tong Jia would vent her anger on them.
Later, the crown prince was appointed, and the emperor no longer had to watch over him every day. The emperor finally had the heart to linger in the harem.
At this time, Guo Luoluo entered the palace.
As soon as Guo Luoluo entered the palace, the emperor treated her as the most favored of all the concubines. Eighty to ninety percent of the people he summoned to sleep with him every month were Guo Luoluo, and the remaining ten to twelve were given to other concubines, and even fewer of them were given to Tong Jia.
How could Tong Jia not be anxious?
Of course she was anxious.
Especially after Guo Luoluo entered the palace and was made a concubine without a child within a year, Tong Jia was desperate and tried every possible means to recommend a palace maid to the emperor. It didn't matter who it was, as long as they could share Yipin's favor.
Thus, Uya, who was a completely different type from Concubine Yi, was recommended to Tonggiya.
She will always remember that day when Tong Jia's eyes, as if she were examining an object, fell on her and felt like a needle pricking her.
She had no choice, and she became the concubine Wuya, who was kept by Tong Jia in a small room in Chengqian Palace.
But she only served the emperor for a day or two before he forgot about her. Tong Jia despised her for being useless and not being able to share Yipin's favor; she also resented the emperor for actually favoring her.
She and Jinzhu were in a difficult situation in Chengqian Palace, and they didn't even have the freedom they had as palace maids.
It wasn't until two months later that she started vomiting non-stop.
Jinzhu hit her head and broke it, so she asked Tong Jia to send an imperial physician to treat her.
The arrival of this child was not what she expected, nor was it what Tong Jia expected.
After the pregnancy pulse was diagnosed, Tong Jia stared at her belly with hatred, wishing that the piece of flesh in her belly would disappear.
Jinzhu was standing in front of her at the time, and she also protected her belly tightly, fearing that Tong Jia would come forward and do something.
"This child is you, Yinzhen." Defei looked at Yinzhen tenderly and wanted to touch his face. "Fortunately, mother protected you."
Yinzhen was full of disbelief and kept backing away.
Seeing that she was rejected, Concubine De was not discouraged and withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.
Just as she was about to continue speaking...
"You are lying!" a voice came from outside the hall.
Then the next second, the palace door was pushed open and Yuying walked in, followed by Lu Chen, Zi Shang and Su Peisheng.
Yes, the reason why Yuying was late was that she went to Chengqian Palace on purpose to bring Zishang here.
After all, she thought that Zishang must have more experience than her in confronting Concubine De.
Yuying didn't expect that they came at such a coincidence, just in time to catch Concubine De criticizing Queen Tong Jia.
Fortunately, she brought Zishang with her, and Yuying was glad in her heart.
As a loyal servant, Zichang could not tolerate her master being slandered by Concubine De.
So, the female voice just now was made by Zichang.
Defei and Jinzhu were shocked and frightened when they saw the aggressive group of people.
But Yinzhen didn't care about them. He walked over and said, "Aunt! And Aunt Zishang."
Yuying nodded at Yinzhen and looked at Concubine De.
"Fourth Prince!" Zishang's eyes were red. "You have grown a lot taller. The Queen will definitely be very happy to see you."
Yinzhen nodded vigorously, "Aunt Zishang, are you doing well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Prince. I am doing fine."
Seeing that the two were still planning to reminisce about the past, Yuying glanced at Concubine De's increasingly dark face and couldn't help coughing twice to remind them that now was not the time to reminisce about the past.
Eh, it turns out that people who normally look smiling are the scariest when they turn sour.
Yuying puffed out her chest. She was not afraid of her!
She brought a lot of people with her!
"Sister Defei, I wonder why you detained my fourth prince in Yonghe Palace? This really made it difficult for me to find him."
Yuying deliberately emphasized the three words "this palace's". Now, who dares to say that she is not sarcastic? Immediately, Concubine De shot her a hateful look.
Yuying's words reminded Zishang that she was still in Yonghe Palace. She stood up and blocked Concubine De's sight, "Your Majesty, let me speak."
Yuying knew what was going on and hid behind Zishang.
How come you feel so safe?
Yuying glanced at Yinzhen beside her and couldn't help but pat his little bald head lovingly.
You are worthy of it.
