Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 35

The fact that nobleman Ding was cast into the cold palace and then hanged himself caused quite a stir in the harem. While everyone sighed, they had to sigh at the stupidity of nobleman Ding. I don't know if it's worth it or not for the palace lord to be in such a miserable situation now?
After a few more days, it seemed that everything had calmed down. The nobleman Ding who had been talked about before had long been forgotten, and what came into everyone's sight was that the emperor finally released the nobleman's restraint.

It is said that the ban is lifted, but who doesn't know that the previous ban was just for show, and it was not for the unborn emperor's heir in the womb of Mr. Migui?
It's just that this nobleman's luck is too good.As soon as she entered the palace, she won the sole favor of the emperor, and now she has just fallen out of favor, but she is pregnant with the emperor's heir again.Everyone saw it for real, they didn't make a move at all, and pulled the emperor back to their side.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that the emperor rewarded a lot of things in the Qixiang Palace over and over again in the past few days, and it was not just a whim.Those people in the harem who wished that Kangxi would never remember Migui for the rest of his life, seeing such a scene, secretly tore up how many veils.

In the morning, Li Dequan came to the Qixiang Palace again, and brought Kangxi another reward for mobilizing teachers and mobilizing the crowd.

"Slave pays respects to the nobleman." Li Dequan smiled and made a gesture of saluting: "The emperor is busy with official business now, so he can't come to accompany the young master, but the emperor asked the slave to bring these things, saying that it is for the young master Play around in your free time, if the little master has anything else you want, just ask the servant, and the servant will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs deliver it as soon as possible."

Li Dequan winked, and the little eunuch who was following behind bent forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and lifted the red tray above his head.

Wang Miheng smiled and said, "I am sorry for my father-in-law, please thank the emperor for his kindness on my behalf."

Li Dequan cupped his hands respectfully: "My master is serious, the servant will definitely bring the words to you. If the master has no other orders, the servant will return first."

Wang Miheng nodded: "Qiulan, give my father-in-law a ride for me."

"Don't dare, my master is really a shameful old slave." Li Dequan made a gesture of not daring, but the smile in his eyes grew more and more.

They are eunuchs, they usually look at the scenery, but they don't know how many people look down on their worthless things behind their backs. The Miguis are being favored, and they don't mean to belittle them by saying these words.

He remembered this face.

Wang Miheng only smiled slightly, Li Dequan couldn't shirk anymore seeing this situation, so he had to ask Qiumei to send him out.

All the way to the gate of the Qixiang Palace, Qiumei blessed her body, said something like father-in-law and walked slowly, and then turned around and came back.

After sending Li Dequan away, Wang Miheng took a general look at the things on the table, picked out a delicately carved white jade hairpin from it, and asked Qiumei to tidy up the things on the table.

"My lord, the emperor treats you so attentively, this servant is really happy for my lord." Qiumei smiled as she stood beside her.

Wang Miheng glanced at her, couldn't help laughing and said: "You have said this no less than dozens of times, you don't mind it, your master's ears are about to callus."

Hearing Wang Miheng's joking words, Qiumei's face turned red, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence: "Your servant doesn't care about the young master. Others want to hear your servant's talk, but your servant still doesn't say anything?"

After hearing her words, Wang Miheng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, put this hairpin in for me first."

Qiumei supported Wang Miheng to sit in front of the dressing table, and said with a smile: "My lord, it seems a little different these days?"

Wang Miheng turned his face slightly: "Why is it different?"

Qiu Mei lowered her voice and said: "It's not that the emperor has never rewarded the young master with things before, but the servant girl has never seen the young master care about it. The servant girl feels that the young master is caring about the emperor at least."

Wang Miheng glared at her, and scolded with a smile: "What is it that you care about? Could it be that your little master didn't care about it before?"

Qiumei stuck out her tongue, and while untying her hair, she said, "This servant just thinks that even if the young master is for the child in his womb, he should pay attention to the emperor."

Putting your heart into it instead of putting your heart into it, the difference between one word and the difference is thousands of miles.

Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Wang Miheng watched Qiumei deftly retie her hair into a bun, and handed the white jade hairpin to her hand.

She understood the deep meaning of Qiumei's words, so she didn't blame her for her boldness. She just smiled at the mirror and said angrily, "Otherwise, what do you think your master wants to do now?"

Wang Miheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, your master is not that stupid."

Kangxi rewarded her with so many things back and forth. She didn't care about the trouble when she was grounded before, but now that Kangxi has lifted her ground, it means that he may visit her Qixiang Palace at any time.

In this case, she would naturally wear the things he rewarded on her body to show her liking.

She may not understand other people's thoughts, but she can guess Kangxi's preferences to some extent. If she puts away the things he rewarded at this moment, he will not appreciate her frugality, but will only think that she refuted his face , then how will she mess around in the future?
Qiumei looked at her and said with a smile, "It's good that the young master understands."

Wang Miheng smiled, and was about to speak when he saw the eunuch Xiao Luzi coming in from outside the hall, slapped him a thousand times, and said: "My lord, the concubine Xiang and Yuan Gui are here."

After hearing this, Wang Miheng sighed helplessly: "Please come in quickly."

This morning, she had already dealt with three waves back and forth, and the more she was like this, the more she missed the deserted days before.

In the past, her Qixiang Palace was desolate and there were no birds. Since she was pregnant and Kangxi sent people to reward so many things with great fanfare, the threshold of the Qixiang Palace was almost stepped down. Congratulations There was an endless stream of people, if this continued, Wang Miheng would really have to give up.

In other words, she suspected more than once that Kangxi's repeated rewards were for her to increase hatred, right?

While talking, Concubine Xiang and Yuan Guiren walked in one after the other.

Wang Miheng stood up and went up to meet him. Just as he wanted to bless his body, his concubine stopped him.

"Get up quickly, my sister is pregnant, so I don't need to be so polite." Concubine Xiang grabbed her hand with a smile, and pulled her to the table to sit down.

At this time, Qiulan and Qiumei walked over slowly, carrying the prepared tea and pastries.

"It is said that there are many good things in my sister's palace, and I happened to take this opportunity to open my eyes." The concubine looked at the decorations in the palace without any trace, and then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip .

"Sure enough, it's a good tea. It's mellow and full of fragrance. I've never tasted such a good tea." The concubine Xiang said with half envy and half emotion.

Wang Miheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty just thinks it's fresh, this tea is made from high-quality jasmine mixed with high-quality Longjing tea, if your Majesty likes it, there are some concubines here, your Majesty might as well take it home to taste. "

Hearing this, Concubine Xiang nodded in satisfaction, and the smile on her face deepened: "I'll just wait for my sister's words."

Wang Miheng smiled, glanced at the silent Yuan Guiren who was sitting next to the concubine Xiang, and said in his heart, he had long heard that the concubine Xiang was a capable person who tidied up the people in her palace. At first sight, as expected.

Although Yuan Guiren is a small nobleman, not as high-ranking as a concubine Xiang, but she is too low-key.

This Yuan Guiren hasn't said a word since he entered the door. If he speaks nicely, he is taciturn, but if he speaks poorly, he is like a quiet puppet.

As if sensing her gaze, Yuan Guiren raised his head, glanced at her timidly, and then looked away.

This kind of action made Wang Miheng a little dumbfounded, she was so timid like a little white rabbit, she wondered how she survived in this harem.

Concubine Xiang looked at all this with a smile, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, don't be offended. Yuan Guiren has such a temperament. I have also talked about her secretly many times, but nothing has been seen. Speaking of which, we are both nobles, or Qingui has a stable temperament, so it's no wonder that he can get into the eyes of the Queen Mother."

It can be regarded as waiting, Wang Miheng thought to himself, but he couldn't help saying: "It's her ability to please the empress dowager, and concubines are absolutely incomparable."

When he said this, Wang Miheng's eyes deliberately revealed a trace of jealousy, just to see Xiangfei's reaction.

"That being said, the Empress Dowager is the biggest master of the harem after all. If she can please the Empress Dowager, that would be a great blessing." There was no sign of strangeness on Xiangbi's face, as if she was just discussing the matter.

Before Wang Miheng could open her mouth, she smiled and changed the topic: "Since my younger sister is pregnant, the emperor has started such a big battle, which shows how the emperor treats my younger sister."

"Sister knows that I am thin-skinned, but now she still says such things. Who in the whole palace does not know that the emperor values ​​children the most. I only hope that the child in my womb can be delivered safely. Just don't disappoint the emperor's wishes."

The two chatted about some innocuous topics, and when the concubine Xiang was sent away, Wang Miheng felt a little hungry.

"Qiumei, tell the small kitchen to make a bowl of hot and sour noodles." A few days ago, Wang Miheng didn't have anything in particular to eat, but these days, she especially wanted to eat that kind of sour and spicy food, and Once you eat it, you will be out of control.

Such as hot and sour noodles, hot and sour crayfish, hot and sour potato shreds, and hot and sour bamboo shoots, which were shelved in the past, have now become her favorite dishes.

But after a while, a bowl of steaming hot and sour noodles was placed on the table. The base soup of the spicy noodles was made from chicken bones, with bright red chili oil floating on it, sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, giving off a burst of aroma. A seductive aroma.

When Kangxi came in, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily when he saw Wang Miheng happily eating the bowl of spicy-looking hot and sour noodles on the table.

Does pregnancy really make people taste so different?Kangxi deeply remembered that this woman's favorite food in the past was sweet and delicious desserts.
