Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 26

The two exchanged a few pleasantries without pain, and Jingui got up to leave.Wang Miheng looked at her back with deep thought in his eyes.

It seems that her premonition is correct, the monopoly of these days should end at this moment, otherwise, not only the concubines in the harem, but even the one in the Compassionate Ning Palace will definitely not be able to tolerate her.

Kangxi's biological mother was Empress Xiaokangzhang, and now the second empress of Shunzhi lives in the Palace of Compassion, the empress dowager Renxian in history. It is said that this empress dowager believes in Buddhism and has a relatively peaceful personality. If you can't see it, it means that Kangxi really favors her a lot.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not let the nobleman Jin warn her about Concubine Dong E. You must know that Emperor Shunzhi only favored Concubine Dong E back then. If Xiao Zhuang hadn't tried his best to stop the Zhonggong Notebook in her hand, she might have become the second abolished empress in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when Mrs. Jin uttered the three words "Concubine Dong E", Wang Miheng knew that she was too high-profile these days, so high-profile that even the empress dowager, who devoted herself to worshiping Buddha on weekdays, had to warn her.

Wang Miheng gently put the tea cup in his hand aside, stood up, walked to the desk a few steps, picked up a brush, and began to copy with all his attention.

Next to her, the maid Qiumei glanced at her hesitantly.

Wang Miheng raised his head to look at her, and said, "Just say what you want to say!"

Seeing that her face was still calm, Qiumei knew that her master had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything in the end, she just quietly stood behind Wang Miheng with her head down.

Wang Miheng was still writing intently, as if he didn't care whether Qiumei spoke or not at all, but when he wrote the last stroke, the ink fell on the paper and fainted immediately.

Wang Miheng stared at that place for a long time before picking it up and kneading it into a ball in his hand.

She knew what kind of situation she was in the harem, but she was just a little nobleman and a Han woman, so many things were out of her hands.

It is impossible for her to want to be favored by Kangxi without arousing criticism from Liugong.

Now she only hopes that Kangxi can enjoy the same rain and dew as before, so that the eyes of the palace will not fall on her alone.

Of course, the premise is that she can get at least two or three opportunities every month.

Otherwise, she would suddenly "fall out of favor", and she might not be able to stay in the harem any longer.

Wang Miheng threw the ball of paper in his hand on the ground, then took a deep breath, picked up the pen again, and wrote Su Shi's "Fixing the Storm":
Don't listen to the sound of Chuanlin beating leaves, why not scream and walk slowly.Bamboo straw straw shoes are as light as a horse, who is afraid?Ren Pingsheng in a mino of misty rain.The spring breeze blows and wakes up, slightly cold.The mountain top is slanting but greets each other.Looking back at the place that has always been bleak, when I go back, there is neither wind nor rain nor sunshine.

Looking at her handwriting, Qiumei couldn't help admiring: "My little master's handwriting is really good!"

Wang Miheng smiled: "Then do you know what my master wrote?"

Qiumei smiled indifferently: "Although the servant girl doesn't know what the master wrote, she can guess that the master's handwriting is very good."

Wang Miheng glanced at her and said with a smile, "How do you say?"

Qiumei explained in a flattering manner: "If the young master's writing is not good, why would the emperor let the young master copy these books?"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Miheng thought to himself: The good thing she wrote is true, and it is also true that Kangxi wanted to torment her.

Thinking this way in his heart, Wang Miheng still smiled softly on his face: "Well, what you girl said makes sense."

She knew that Qiumei was trying to make her happy, and she was willing to say it, so naturally she would not lose face.

Someone accompanied me to say a few words, not to mention how fast the time passed, Wang Miheng was writing, while chatting with Qiumei who was standing beside him from time to time, not long after, it was time for lunch time.

Qiumei first offered a cup of Longjing jasmine to moisten Wang Miheng's throat, and then gently placed the dishes in the food box on the table.

Stir-fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, steamed duck fermented with wine, breasted goose with rouge, chicken skin soup with shrimp balls, and a small bowl of steaming rice with fragrant green rice, and finally a small dish of creamy pine rolls.

She doesn't like to eat too greasy food, although the dishes in the palace are all good, but every time she eats a few bites, she feels tired.

Speaking of which, the only thing she couldn't let go of was the bowl of chicken skin soup with shrimp balls in front of her.

Chicken skin is a holy product for beauty and skin care, and the shrimp balls are thick and fat. It is very sweet and delicious to eat with rice soaked in soup.

She used a bowl of rice, took a few bites of other dishes, then put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the snacks on the plate and started eating.

There is no woman who does not like sweets, and Wang Miheng is no exception, but why does today's butter pine roll taste weird?

Wang Miheng spat out what he ate, picked up the plate and smelled it carefully.

"Is this snack delivered by someone from the imperial dining room?"

Seeing her actions, Qiumei Qiulan's face changed a long time ago, and when she heard this, she said solemnly, "Yes, does the young master feel that there is something wrong?"

Wang Miheng frowned, and put the dish in her hand on the table. She couldn't tell what was wrong, she just felt that the taste was not right.This cream puff pastry was a little sweet at the beginning, but then it was slightly bitter, which was different from the usual taste.

Her tongue has been extremely sensitive since she was a child, and she can taste something right away if it tastes wrong.

So she dared to conclude that this snack has been tampered with.

Wang Miheng thought for a while, who is so impatient to attack her?Imperial Concubine, Concubine De, Ding Guiren, or...the Empress Dowager of Compassionate Ning Palace? "

Thinking of the Queen Mother, Wang Miheng shook his head again, excluding her.What is the status of the queen mother, if she really wants to deal with her, a little nobleman, she will not use such indecent means.

Furthermore, if it was really the Queen Mother, there would be no such thing as Jingui.

Since the Empress Dowager ordered nobleman Jin to come to the Qixiang Palace to warn her, it meant that she would not do anything to her until she saw her performance.

Then, the most likely ones are Imperial Concubine, Concubine De, and Ding Guiren.

Of course, others are not impossible.

Qiumei's face turned pale, and she was even more horrified in her heart.If the little master hadn't found out that the smell was wrong, what would have happened now?

However, the only ones who know that the little master loves sweets are the servants of the Qixiang Palace.

Qiumei wanted it, and so did Wang Miheng, but who could this person be?

The House of Internal Affairs dispatched four court ladies and two eunuchs, Qiumei Qiulan to serve her personally, Qiuzhu, Qiuju and the two eunuchs to do some rough work.

Among these people, who would betray her?
Eunuchs are the easiest to be bribed, and the words of court ladies will find another way out if they are not reused.

Wang Miheng took a deep breath, and said to Qiumei: "You and Qiulan keep an eye on them these few days, and see what they do."

The two were still in shock, and when they heard Wang Miheng's words, they knelt down on the ground and bowed their heads, their voices were deeply moved, and their throats were a little choked: "My lord has believed in the slaves and maids." , the servants must be loyal to the young master with all their hearts, and will not let anyone harm the young master."

Wang Miheng raised his hand to signal them to get up.Qiumei and Qiulan served her personally. In all fairness, both of them were very attentive, and she didn't want to doubt them.

When she saw the touch and shock in the eyes of the two, she felt that she had made the right bet.

The so-called confidant is to trust each other.If today, she had suspected both of them and chilled their hearts, things would not have been so simple.

After lunch, Wang Miheng lay in bed and took a nap in the morning as usual, but he was not flustered by what happened just now.Ever since she entered the palace, she knew that such a thing would happen sooner or later, not today, but also tomorrow.

She fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, and when she woke up, more than half an hour had passed.

Wang Miheng drank a cup of milk tea slowly, then walked to the desk and began to copy.In all fairness, copying a book really makes people feel a different kind of ease and tranquility, so this time Wang Miheng copied it very carefully, copying dozens of pages back and forth.

Looking at the thick rice paper on the other side, Wang Miheng felt a sense of accomplishment.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and after dinner, Wang Miheng wanted to go to bed early. After copying books all day, his wrists and back felt a little sore.

"My lord, let's go to bed later." Qiumei hurriedly advised from the side.

Looking at the expression on Qiumei's face, Wang Miheng pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the emperor won't turn over the signboard of our Qixiang Palace today."

Since Kangxi ordered her to return to Chengqian Palace tomorrow, he would not turn over her sign today.

The reason for this is clear when you think about it.

Hearing Wang Miheng's words, Qiumei still couldn't believe it, went to the table and poured her a cup of tea, and suggested in a low voice: "Young master, let's wait a little longer."

Wang Miheng was very depressed and wanted to tell her that if you wait any longer, it will be the "bad news" you don't want to hear.

Although she attracted criticism from the Six Palaces because of her exclusive favor, as a servant, which one would not want the emperor to favor her master? Perhaps in their opinion, as long as Kangxi is willing to flip her brand, it will be a great thing.

Not long after Wang Miheng waited, the little eunuch from the foreign affairs office came in and sent a message: "My servant pays my respects to the young master, the emperor turned over the sign of Concubine De today."
