Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 40

The days passed day by day, and it was July in a blink of an eye. Apart from going to Chengqian Palace to pay his respects every day, Wang Miheng stayed in his own den for the rest of the time, eating and drinking, and raising his baby with peace of mind. Because Yuan Guiren was favored, he was not affected in any way.

"It is said that the young master is kind-hearted, but the emperor dotes on Yuan Guiren so much, the young master has to think of a way." Qiumei watched Wang Miheng eat the whole bowl of cheese bit by bit to the bottom. Yes, and at the same time feeling emotional, I finally couldn't help but persuade.

Yuan Gui is favored, isn't the young master the one who should be most worried in this palace?Anyway, the emperor's favorite person before was the young master.To put it inappropriately, it was Yuan Gui who snatched the emperor's favor from the young master.

If it was someone else, he would have tried everything possible to bring the emperor's attention back to him.

But as for my little master, he still acts like a normal person, without even a tinge of jealousy.If she hadn't known the young master's temperament long ago, she would have thought that the young master was a little confused after being stimulated.

Hearing Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng licked his lips, deliberately pretending to be suddenly enlightened: "I don't know if you don't tell me, so your young master, I am already an old man in the eyes of the emperor."

I only see the newcomers laughing, but don't hear the old ones cry. No wonder these ten words have been passed down for hundreds of years and they are never tired of being used.

"Little master!" Qiumei looked at the little master who was sitting on the soft couch and was still thinking about teasing her, her voice couldn't help raising her voice, her eyes were full of accusations, Wang Miheng thought she had done something treacherous things.

In fact, she was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface. In fact, Kangxi was still in high spirits. If she disturbed his interest at this time, would he think she was unkind?

The point is, even if she got rid of one Yuan Guiren, there will be Xin Guiren next, and Wan Guiren has countless nobles. She can't expect a big stallion like Kangxi to defend her like a jade, can she?

If this is the case, she will be scared to death, okay?
Wang Miheng glanced at Qiumei, and sighed quietly: "Whoever the emperor wants to spoil, there is no way you and I can stop it. Probably this is Yuan Guiren's blessing."

"However, this Yuan Guiren is really lucky." He was simply a dark horse born out of nowhere.

Wang Miheng sighed meaningfully before Qiumei spoke.

Based on her understanding of Kangxi, he should not be good at women like Yuan Guiren, but why is it unexpected, not only eating, but also addicted to eating?
It's been half a month now, no matter how sweet and delicious Yuan Guiren's dish is, it's time to withdraw it and add another one, right?
Wang Miheng put on a contemplative look, pondering seriously.

After a long time, she finally asked, "Is there any movement in Changchun Palace these days?" When Wang Miheng said this, he was obviously not as nonchalant as before.

Seeing that her young master finally took her heart, Qiumei's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly told the things she had inquired about in the past few days.

The Changchun Palace is the seat of the concubine Xiang. Yuan Gui's status is not high and he is not favored by the emperor, so he has always been oppressed by the concubine Xiang.But in the blink of an eye, Yuan Guiren, whom she looked down upon, became Kangxi's new favorite. This time, the situation of the two of them was about to be reversed.

"Hang Concubine looked happy after Yuan Guiren was favored, but the servant girl heard that Changchun Palace has broken a lot of porcelain these days. It's no wonder that Xiang Concubine is so strong, watching the people in her palace overtake the limelight If you go by yourself, you must be a hundred unhappy."

"If Concubine Xiang used her old methods, Yuan Guiren would not be her opponent, but this time she just kept her composure." Wang Miheng's eyes showed a look of confusion.

She had seen Xiang concubine show embarrassment to Yuan Guiren more than once in front of so many people, but at this moment, it was rare that she didn't make any movements, only relying on throwing things in her palace to relieve her anger.

If it's not that the city is too deep, it's that the concubine Xiang has some scruples herself.Of the two, in Wang Miheng's view, the latter is more likely to be the latter.

Because no matter how good a person's acting skills are, they can't hide her true nature.Besides, if Concubine Xiang had such a deep city, she wouldn't embarrass an unfavorable nobleman that day.

"That's right, the slaves don't understand either. Could it be that the concubine Xiang has changed her temper?" Qiumei murmured softly.

"Besides Qianqing Palace, where else has Yuan Guiren been?" Wang Miheng always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Yuan Guiren has been in the palace for many years and has always been unknown. Why did Kangxi flip her brand, and this flip took only half a month.

If it is all her luck, then her luck is too good.

Everyone in the palace wants to compete for favor, and those who are a little decent dangle in front of Kangxi's eyes from time to time. The name is to send a bowl of soup to Kangxi to relieve his fatigue. Word: Compete for favor.

Therefore, it was hard for her to imagine how the low-key Yuan Guiren managed to take Kangxi down in one fell swoop?

"Except for the emperor's summons, Yuan Guiren stays in Changchun Palace on weekdays, and only goes to Chengqian Palace to pay his respects to the imperial concubine and empress every day."

Hearing Wang Miheng's question, Qiumei also felt a little strange. For an unfavorable concubine like Yuan Guiren, the people in the respect room would not put her signboard in a conspicuous place, but the result now is obvious. It's just not right!
Unless, behind Yuan Guiren, there is a master who is bigger than the concubine Xiang.

Qiu Ju thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "My lord, do you remember? A few days ago, the concubine Xiang and Yuan Guiren came to pay my respects to the lord. The slaves heard that after the concubine Xiang left our palace, she went towards the Yonghe Palace. Gone, my lord, do you think she might have gone..."

Yonghe Palace?
These three words flashed in his mind, and Wang Miheng's eyes became a bit more profound. If it were Concubine De, the matter would be easy to explain.

In this palace, there are only two people who can order the respect room, one is the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace, and the other is the concubine Defei of Yonghe Palace.

However, according to the temperament of the imperial concubine, it is absolutely impossible to send other women to Kangxi's bed with her own hands.

Then, the master behind Yuan Guiren is definitely Concubine De.

Just, why would she do this?

"Ms. De Concubine has a calm temperament, but she is very resourceful." Qiu Mei frowned, and said with a face full of anxiety.

If the Empress Concubine De is to deal with the young master, then the young master's situation will be difficult.

Compared with the master of Chengqian Palace, Concubine De is a truly formidable character.Otherwise, she wouldn't have climbed from a little maid to her current position.

"My lord, please be careful. This servant feels that the concubine de concubine is here for my lord this time."

Wang Miheng nodded and sighed heavily. Before she could speak, she heard footsteps outside.

Xiao Luzi ran in, and said with a panicked expression: "My lord, the industrious lady of Zhaoxia Palace has had a miscarriage."

After hearing this, Wang Miheng's complexion changed, and he asked incredulously, "What's going on?"

"The servant only heard that Qingui accidentally slipped while walking in the imperial garden, and he bled a lot at that time, and when he was carried back to the Zhaoxia Palace, the child could no longer be kept."

"Qiumei, follow me over there to have a look."

With such a big incident, she has no reason not to show up.Otherwise, it is a guilty conscience.

When Wang Miheng arrived, there were already a lot of people standing in the room, and the miserable shouts came out through the curtain, and then she saw a few court ladies coming out with pots of bloody water .

Wang Miheng's throat rolled a few times, and he began to retch while holding on to the door frame.

It was the first time since she became pregnant that she felt so uncomfortable.

At this time, a strong arm supported her body from behind: "What's going on?"

Wang Miheng turned his head and saw Kangxi standing there with a serious face.

"Your Majesty." Surprise flashed in Wang Miheng's eyes, and he couldn't help crying out.

As soon as she made a sound, everyone's eyes turned. When they saw Kangxi, they all knelt down and saluted: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Wang Miheng knelt at the entrance of the hall, feeling an indescribable strangeness in her heart. Seriously speaking, she rarely appeared in front of Kangxi with so many women at the same time.

More often, the two are either missing or just the two of them.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Get up, everyone."

After everyone thanked them, they all stood up and stood on both sides in an orderly manner.

"How's the situation?" Kangxi glanced at the curtain and asked aloud.

"The humble minister is incompetent, and the child is already lost." The imperial physician knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

It's not that his medical skills are not good, it's just that this noble man fell to the ground and became pregnant.

"Let's all go down." After hearing this, Kangxi waved his hands, and there was no sadness or loss on his face, as if he was listening to the most common thing.

Wang Miheng saw it in his eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart, saying that the Tian family is ruthless, that's all.

He didn't come when Mrs. Qin was found to be pregnant, but he waited for the miscarriage of the child before he came to show his face, and he still had such a calm expression.

This man is too cold.

Wang Miheng tightly held the handkerchief in his hand, and there was a trace of accusation in his eyes. At this time, Kangxi's gaze happened to look over.

Looking at each other, Wang Miheng was unconsciously embarrassed.

But Kangxi's gaze only paused on her for a moment, and then moved away.

In the eyes of caring people, this scene naturally has a little more meaning.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the noble man?" Kangxi's voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it hit everyone's hearts.

"Your Majesty forgive me, it's because the servants didn't serve you well and couldn't support the young master in time." A court lady who was kneeling in the corner stumbled over, her face was pale without a trace of blood, she was obviously frightened.

"Your Majesty, it's not an exaggeration to beat such a servant to death, otherwise, if the servants follow suit, the palace may be in chaos." The concubine Xiang didn't make a sound early or late, she clearly came here to show her presence of.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qingui is still unconscious. If the Emperor disposes of this court lady at this time, Mr. Qingui will not have any capable people around her." As soon as the concubine's words came out of her mouth, Yuan Guiren retorted.

Looking at the situation, Wang Miheng came to understand. It turned out that Concubine Xiang and Yuan Guiren had reached such a point of incompatibility.
