Mrs. Li didn't realize it, and she was delighted that the emperor noticed the hairpin: "Return to the emperor, the hairpin of this servant girl is made to order, does the emperor like it?"

Kangxi was furious: "Dong Shi imitated me, especially without knowing it! You don't deserve to wear this hairpin, get out!"

As he spoke, he took off Li Shi's hairpin and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Li didn't know how she returned to Changchun Palace, she just felt extremely humiliated, angry and jealous.

Damn Ma Guan, dare to design her on purpose!

Although she still didn't understand what was going on, she was sure that it must be something that Ma Guan did to make the emperor hate her so much.

Dong Shi imitated?In the eyes of the emperor, she is actually Dong Shi?Could it be that only that woman, Ma Guan, deserves to wear that hairpin?

"**!**!" As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Mrs. Li broke down and cried loudly.

Tonight's bedtime service but being returned will definitely spread throughout the harem, and she will definitely become the laughing stock of the harem at that time, she is not reconciled!

The fact that Mrs. Li was returned was known to the people in the Qing Palace that night. They heard that the emperor had lost his temper, and everyone speculated on what exactly Mrs. Li did to offend the emperor.

Ma Guan played with the hairpin in her hand, not in the slightest bit of joy, and of course, she didn't regret it either.

If Mrs. Li hadn't targeted her like that, she wouldn't have been easily fooled to create the same hairpin, and what happened tonight wouldn't have happened.

"It's your own fault." She put the hairpin on the dressing table and sighed softly.

Early the next morning, when she was practicing boxing in the yard, Kangxi suddenly walked over.

"My maidservant has met the emperor." She hurriedly put away her posture, since she had finished her studies, she hadn't practiced with the emperor.

"The hairpin I gave you..." Kangxi held the rose hairpin in his hands, and before he finished asking, he saw an identical one stuck in Ma Yu's hair.

"What's wrong with the hairpin?" Ma Guan raised his head and touched it, with a suspicious expression on his face.

"I saw that you didn't wear it a few days ago, so I thought you threw it away." Kangxi quickly changed his words and said casually.

Ma Quan smiled and said: "This is a gift from the emperor to the servant, how could the servant throw it away? It's just that a corner was accidentally broken a few days ago, so I took it to someone to repair it, and it was only sent back yesterday."

Kangxi nodded, it seems that Li Shi's hairpin was indeed custom-made by herself.He must have seen this branch of Ma Guan and was happy to see Lie Xin, so he did this.

A few days ago, Ma Guan's hairpin was broken, I don't know if it has something to do with Mrs. Li...

"It's good that it's still there. You've worn this hairpin for some years, and I'll have someone give you a few more hairpins for you to wear in rotation."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward." Naturally, Ma Quan would not refuse, as the Emperor's rewards are all good things.

In the afternoon, Liang Jiugong really went to Ma Guan with a tray. There were four hairpins in total, all of which were beautiful in style and better in workmanship than those bought from outside.

Ma Guan reciprocated the favor, and changed a new one the next day, and went to Xinuange to show Kangxi.Kangxi's eyes moved slightly, these hairpins really look the best when worn by Ma Guan.

A few days later, the story of Mrs. Li's return really spread throughout the harem, even the maids and eunuchs were whispering and laughing.

On the way to the imperial garden, Ma Guan heard at least three discussions, which belonged to different palaces.

She smiled, seeing how rampant Li Shi was this time.

Surprisingly, when I arrived at the Imperial Garden, I met a person I didn't know very well: Mr. Yigui.

Compared with the last time we met, Yigui has changed a bit, not to mention more luxurious and beautiful clothes, but also a different demeanor, he has become more calm and confident, and his gestures are elegant and noble.

She was young and beautiful, but with such a dress, she was even more beautiful than Ma Jiashi, and she seemed to be the number one beauty in the harem.

"I have seen Mr. Yigui." Ma Quan bowed respectfully.

This one can't be offended, but she will become the emperor's favorite concubine in the future!

"Aunt Ma Juan is polite. I didn't have a chance to thank you last time. I didn't expect to meet you here today. If Aunt Ma Yuan doesn't mind, please go to Yikun Palace to talk about it later." Yigui smiled kindly and treated her Maru is very polite.

"Your words are serious. Ma Yuan dare not refuse to invite you." Ma Yuan also said politely, always feeling that this noble man was here specially to wait for her.

But the time when she came to the Royal Garden is not fixed, how did the other party know?You can't wait here every day, can you?

After picking some petals, Ma Guan smiled and went to Yikun Palace with Mr. Yigui.

Yigui and her younger sister live in the east and west side halls respectively, while the main hall is vacant, so Yigui invited her to his residence and ordered someone to call his younger sister.

"Aunt Ma Guan, thank you so much last time. My sister and I have long wanted to come to thank you, but we haven't been able to find an opportunity." Guo Luoluo promised that he was only fourteen this year, and he was a child who hadn't grown up at all, so She is more innocent and lively, not as mature and stable as Yigui.

"The two masters are too polite, but it's just a small effort, how can I thank you?" Ma Yu said with a smile: "Afterwards, Li Concubine didn't bother you anymore, did she?"

"No, after my elder sister was summoned and promoted to nobleman, Empress Li did not dare to come." The little girl really said anything.

Yigui glared at his sister, Xiao promised to stick out his tongue.

"That's good. I think she won't dare to come here anymore." Ma Guan heard that Mrs. Li didn't even go out in the past few days, so she was afraid of being laughed at.

Mrs. Yigui obviously knew about this, and said in a low voice: "I heard that she offended the emperor because of a hairpin."

When he said this, he took a special look at Ma Guan, laughing at Li's stupidity in his heart.

Could it be that the emperor is such a superficial person that he likes Ma Yuan just because she wears a rose hairpin?Mrs. Li actually imitated this, she is so stupid!

Or her method is the best, if you want to imitate, imitate the essence.

Today I invited Ma Quan to come here not only to thank you, but also to get in touch with him at a close distance and observe more, so that I can imitate more like him.

Ma Guan pretended not to understand, but felt a little weird in her heart, always felt that Yigui was staring at her as if nothing, since they met in the imperial garden before.

She was very puzzled, could it be that Yigui was also captured by her beauty?She quickly discarded this strange idea.

"I heard that the emperor is going to confer the title of empress, and he will also confer the title of a group of concubines." Guo Luoluo promised with longing, and suddenly mentioned this matter. "I'm afraid that Concubine Li will be formally canonized as a concubine, and then..."

"Xiulian, don't talk nonsense." Yigui pretended to reprimand, but actually observed Ma Yuan's expression.

Ma Guan knew about this matter, the emperor did intend to formally confer the title of queen and concubines recently, but the final conclusion has not yet been made.

"The two masters actually don't have to worry, and you may not have a chance." Ma Guan comforted.

Not to mention the concubine, this Yigui is going to become Yifei in the future, what are you afraid of, Mrs. Li?

Yigui's sisters looked at each other with joy in their eyes, and Yigui's heart was beating wildly. Could it be that she also has a chance to be promoted to concubine?Did Maru get any inside information?

But it's not easy to ask too directly about this kind of thing. They are already quite content with Ma Guan's reminder.

After Ma Guan left, the two sisters discussed quietly for a while.

"Sister, Ma Yuan has already said so, and you will definitely be promoted to concubine." Xiao promised to brow happily. If her sister becomes Yi concubine, she will become the master of Yikun Palace, and they will not be forced to be concubines in the future. Bullied.

"Will I be promoted so quickly? The emperor just promoted me to be a nobleman not long ago." Yigui frowned slightly, and felt that the chance of being promoted to two levels in less than a year was not high.

"The emperor dotes on my sister, what's so strange about you being promoted? Besides, wouldn't that noble concubine Tong Jia be promoted faster? She just entered the palace last year and will soon become a noble concubine." Xiao promised to whisper: "She is not as beautiful as her sister , but relying on good family background."

Mrs. Yigui solemnly warned: "Don't talk about the imperial concubine when talking about anyone, she is not a good person to get along with."

"Got it, sister, I'm just talking to you in private... I'd rather Ma Guan, and I found that she's pretty again. Sister, you said she's so pretty, and the emperor dotes on her so much, why didn't you bring her into the harem? ?" Xiao promised to change the subject quickly, she was more interested in Ma Guan than other concubines.

"Incorporation into the harem is only a matter of time. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for all the concubines in the harem." Yigui murmured softly. Thinking of Ma Guan's appearance, she felt sour. No wonder she was favored by the emperor.

……

Ma Guan didn't know what the pair of sisters were thinking, after hearing them mention the conferment of queen and concubine, she paid more attention in the following days.

One day when I was delivering snacks, I saw Kangxi staring at a booklet for a long time, thinking for a long time, and finally made several circles with a Chinese ink pen.Ma Guan didn't dare to interrupt, so she waited quietly, thinking that the emperor had encountered something troublesome again.

"I heard that you have gotten close to Yigui recently? Do you like her?" Kangxi suddenly said with a slight smile.

Ma Ju didn't understand his intentions, and said honestly: "Back to the emperor, my servant went to the imperial garden to pick petals that day, and met Mrs. Yigui by chance, and Mrs. Yigui invited my servant to sit in Yikun Palace. Later she invited my servant again Once, I met twice in total. She is...not bad."

She just likes to stare at her, she didn't dare to say this, for fear that the emperor would feel that she was cheated on.

"It seems that you have a good impression of her. Yigui is really different from other concubines." Kangxi didn't ask any more questions, took a pen and wrote a few words on the notebook, and then started to make some snacks.

Ma Guan was at a loss, and really couldn't figure out what Kangxi meant.

However, on the second day, news came out that the emperor would confer the titles of the empress, noble concubine and seven concubines, and even the titles had been drawn up. The canonization ceremony would be held only after the cabinet wrote the document and the Qin Tianjian selected an auspicious day.

As soon as the news came out, the harem was boiling.

Since the death of Empress Hesheli, the throne of the harem has been vacant for three years, and the emperor is finally going to appoint a queen!

For a moment, the Jingren Palace, which has always been quiet, was almost broken through the threshold, and the position of queen must belong to Niu Gulu's family!Niu Gulu's face was calm, but her heart couldn't help causing ripples. She had waited for this day for too long.

The scene in Chengqian Palace is similar, Tong Jia was promoted to imperial concubine just over a year after entering the palace, and since then she has been in the harem below one person and above ten thousand people, which is really enviable.

The empresses and concubines paid the most attention to the candidates for the seventh concubine. They may not be able to figure out the position of empress and concubine in this life, but they can still work hard for the concubine.

Especially the few who enjoyed concubine-level treatment at the beginning of the year, couldn't help but rejoice, this can be regarded as officially canonized.

Only when it is officially canonized and the gold book is issued can it be justified.

Those who don't enjoy concubine-level treatment are looking forward to a miracle, in case they crowd out other people's places!

"Seventh concubine... It seems that I have no hope." In Yikun Palace, Yigui was in a very low mood. At the beginning of the year, there happened to be seven concubines who were treated as concubines, and they were supposed to be those seven.

"Sister, don't worry too. The emperor has favored you so much during this period, maybe he will replace one of them and let you be promoted." Guo Luoluo promised and knew that this possibility was very small, but she had to comfort her sister.

Mrs. Yigui smiled wryly: "I have been in the palace for half a year to have the current status, it is already very rare, that's all, don't be too ambitious and dream about being a concubine."

"Would you like to invite Ma Quan to come over and inquire about it?"

"Don't worry. After all, Ma Guan is someone close to the emperor. If the emperor finds out that I have a close relationship with her, I'm afraid she will be suspicious of me."

While discussions in the harem were in full swing, Ma Guan saw a large stack of gold books, all of which had been drawn up, and sent them to Kangxi to review them one by one.

"Who is the curiosity?" Perhaps because her eyes were too fiery, Kangxi glanced at her amusedly.

Ma Guan nodded, his eyes sparkled slightly: "This is the first time that the emperor has conferred such a large-scale concubine. Not only the servants, but the whole world are curious."

"Are you wondering if you have yourself?" Kangxi joked.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of your servants. Your servants are just maids of honor." Ma Guan's cheeks were slightly red, she really hadn't thought about it, after all, she had already told the emperor about being a disciple.

Unless the emperor has a cuckold, it is absolutely impossible to bring her into the harem.

Besides, she was born wrapped in clothes, no matter how favored she was, she couldn't be conferred directly as a concubine without being favored.

Kangxi snorted softly, this girl didn't seem to be jealous at all, so she really didn't like him at all?

But seeing her blushing, shy and cute, he felt better again.

……

Two days later, the candidates for the empress, imperial concubine and seventh concubine were finally revealed:

Niu Colu's family Wanning was canonized as a queen!

Tong Jia. Xiuyi was canonized as a noble concubine!

Ma Jia was canonized as Rong Concubine, Nala was canonized as Hui Concubine, Dong was canonized as Duan Concubine, Hesheli was canonized as Xi Concubine, Wanyan was canonized as Jing Concubine, Guo Luoluo was canonized as Concubine Concubine Yi and Mrs. Li were canonized as concubines An!

Ma Guan didn't know the rankings in history. If he knew, he would find that things had changed.Li and Wanyan, who should have been ranked first and second, were ranked last and third from last!

And because Ma Jia gave birth to an elder brother at the beginning of the year and regained the favor, he actually ranked first.

However, as soon as these titles came out, she knew who would be favored in the future.

The most famous one in the Kangxi Dynasty was the fourth concubine of Huiyi Derong, but now there are three of them!

She never expected that the Ma Jia who hated her to death was actually the Concubine Rong, which was too bad.

At the same time, she was curious as to who the remaining Concubine De was.Concubine De is actually more legendary than these three, because her son becomes the emperor, who will be the future Emperor Yongzheng.

And as soon as the list of the seventh concubines came out, there was an uproar in the harem!

Borzigit, who enjoys concubine-level treatment, is not among them, but Yigui is on the list. This promotion speed is too fast.

Yigui was overjoyed, this was too unexpected, it seems that Ma Guan's previous reminder was indeed correct.

She was happy, but Li Shi gritted her silver teeth. She was ranked behind Yigui. Does the emperor hate her so much?

It's all the fault of Ma Guan, if she hadn't angered the emperor last time, how could the emperor have ranked her at the bottom?

Everyone was looking forward to it, and the canonization ceremony finally arrived.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already delivered the court clothes of the palaces, and the queen, noble concubine and seven concubines are waiting respectfully in the Hall of Supreme Harmony according to their positions, waiting for the canonization ceremony to proceed.

The ceremony was very complicated and lasted for more than two hours.Ma Guan, Xueyin and others watched from a distance, and many court ladies looked envious.

Afterwards, Xueyin hated iron and said: "Ma Guan, it's not my sister who said you, why are you so stubborn? If you show a little love to the emperor, you will definitely be the seventh concubine today. How about a maid?"

Ma Guan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister Xueyin, you know me, I like to be free, and I'm still waiting for the time to release the palace."

"So what if you're released from the palace? You'll be free? You'll be thirty by then, what kind of good family can you find? It's better to be a concubine in the palace." Xueyin knocked her on the head: "Not to mention, the emperor will definitely He's the best man in the world."

Ma Guan does not deny this point, and Kangxi was hailed as the eternal emperor by later generations.

After coming to this era for more than three years, she also figured out a lot of things, or had to give in.

Even if he leaves the palace in the future, if he is lucky, he can find a good family as Fujin, but if he is not lucky, he may only be a concubine.Even if he becomes a Fujin, the husband may marry a few more Fujin or even pass through the house.So what if you are unhappy?She couldn't resist.

Compared with this, being a concubine in the palace is probably the best way out. Not to mention eating and drinking without worrying about being served, you can still sleep with Kangxi!

For the first time in such a long time, she thought carefully about this matter. Since she was looking for a man, she might as well find the most powerful and capable man in the world!

With such thoughts, she couldn't help staring at the emperor when she went to Xinuang Pavilion to deliver snacks in the evening.

Kangxi's heart moved, Ma Guan was stimulated by today's canonization, and finally figured it out?

"Come here." Kangxi was overjoyed and couldn't help but speak.Ma Quan's eyes were too straightforward, which made him feel itchy in his heart.
