Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 47

The next day, just after dawn, all the concubines in the palaces woke up. There was such a commotion in the Changchun Palace last night that everyone struggled for a long time before falling asleep, but their hearts were still not at ease, and they didn't close their doors almost all night. Eyes, finally waited until dawn, packed up in a hurry and rushed to Chengqian Palace.

A whole room of people sat below, all with nervous expressions on their faces, whispering a few words from time to time, and the whole hall seemed extraordinarily depressed.

Under the fury of Kangxi's thunder, everyone in the harem was in danger, for fear that if they were not careful, they would incur a heinous crime and end up like Yuan Guiren.

While everyone was sighing, they couldn't help but wonder how this Yuan Guiren offended the emperor, so that the emperor threw her into prison without even caring about the emperor's heir in her womb.

After staying in the palace for such a long time, the concubine was either sent to the cold palace or directly sentenced to death. She was sent to the prison, which was really the first time.

It is precisely because of its rarity that this incident is strange from the inside out.

When Wang Miheng walked into Chengqian Palace, there was no one in the courtyard. Nanny Gui, who was standing at the door, saw her coming, smiled and greeted her, and blessed her body.

"Mommy, but I'm late?" Wang Miheng asked with a little worry after giving her a little support.

Ordinarily, she got up very early these days, it shouldn't be like this.

"You don't have to worry, little master, it's just that the masters arrived earlier, the empress is still eating." Nanny Gui lifted the curtain with her own hands while speaking.

Seeing this action, Wang Miheng smiled slightly. Although she didn't know why Nanny Gui took extra care of her, she did not reject such kindness.

As soon as Wang Miheng stepped into the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was extraordinarily weird. The quietness in the room was a bit scary. Everyone sat there, although there were smiles on their faces, but the tension and haggardness in their eyes could not be concealed.

Wang Miheng stepped forward slowly and sat down on a chair on the right.

Everyone was sitting quietly. When they saw her coming, they all looked over in unison, all of them were speculative.

Wang Miheng's rank is too high, sitting there without moving, only smiling slightly, no one can find the slightest fault.

It's not that she can't understand the meaning in everyone's eyes, but it's not her turn to say some things, not to mention that this matter is related to Kangxi.

Concubine Yi was about to get angry with a sullen face when she heard Chen Guiren who had been sitting silently next to Wang Miheng ask.

"The emperor went to my sister last night, does my sister know why the emperor is furious?" The voice was as soft as a mosquito, if it wasn't very close, Wang Miheng would not have been able to hear what she was saying.

Wang Miheng turned his head, looked at the cautious Chen Guiren in front of him, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: "Sister, don't worry, we will always know about the affairs in the harem, why don't sister wait first."

After entering the palace for such a long time, she didn't learn much else, but this perfunctory words were practiced perfectly.

Chen Guiren gave a dry laugh, and only said: "What my sister said is very true, but my sister is abrupt."

Chen Guiren glanced at Concubine Yi who was sitting opposite without any trace, then bowed her head politely and remained silent.

Wang Miheng didn't see her action, but in the eyes of caring people, it was another meaning.

In the past few years, Concubine Yi was a bit arrogant relying on her favor, but in recent years she has become more and more calm, and she is quite in the realm of a concubine De.

While speaking, there was a sound of footsteps, and the imperial concubine walked out of the inner room slowly with luxurious makeup.

Everyone stood up from their seats and greeted in unison: "The concubine greets the empress!"

The imperial concubine raised her hand and smiled lightly: "Get up, why did you come here so early today, but what happened?"

The imperial concubine's questioning made everyone quite embarrassed, but fortunately the expression on her face did not change at all because of her majesty.

"All sit down."

"Thank you madam."

Wang Miheng raised his head slightly, and the sense of pride in the eyes of the imperial concubine happened to fall into her eyes.

She really didn't understand the temperament of this imperial concubine.

Although it is a happy thing for Yuan Guiren to fall out of favor, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

So, she really doesn't know, why is she "complacent"?
After everyone was seated, the imperial concubine slowly took a sip of tea, glanced at the person sitting below, and said: "I won't say much about the extra things, there is only one thing, everyone in the harem is not allowed to talk about the emperor's affairs. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being able to spare her."

"I would like to obey the imperial edict." As soon as her words fell, everyone stood up again and responded in unison.

The imperial concubine's words were obviously hitting the concubines present. When she said these words, no matter how great the curiosity was in everyone's hearts, they all suppressed at this moment.

There was silence for a while, and when Wang Miheng's legs felt a little sore, the imperial concubine waved her hand: "Okay, let's all get up."

Everyone restrained their expressions, but they were secretly annoyed, they had never seen the imperial concubine put on airs like this before, how could she become proud when Yuan Guiren fell out of favor.

I don't know, but I thought her imperial concubine replaced Yuan Guiren as the emperor's new favorite?
Here, Li Dequan followed Kangxi's order and rushed all the way to Chengqian Palace.

I don't know if it's because of his age, but there was nothing wrong with the [-] boards last night, but now his legs are shaking. Li Dequan frowned and cursed to himself. One sentence: "Things to die!"

Nanny Gui accompanied Li Dequan into the Chengqian Palace. The imperial concubine sat on the soft couch, looking at Li Dequan who walked in with surprise in his eyes. Li Dequan was a celebrity around the emperor, and rarely came to her Chengqian Palace.

"My servant pays my respects to my mother." Li Dequan took a step forward, hit Qian'er and knelt on the ground, and respectfully greeted her.

"Elder-in-law, please, but what orders does the emperor have?" The imperial concubine asked politely after giving her a little support.

Sitting there, Wang Miheng looked at Li Dequan who was a little sluggish, and thought to himself that the life of a slave is suffering. Obviously, the matter has nothing to do with him, but in the end, he was the first to suffer.

However, who told him to be the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace? The greater the dignity, the greater the risk.

Just as Wang Miheng was feeling emotional, he heard Li Dequan reply: "The emperor got a good thing, and ordered his servant to bring it to the empress to see."

Li Dequan smiled respectfully, but there was a deep meaning in his words, everyone could see Kangxi's attitude towards Chengqian Palace.

Not to mention being cold, at least you won't be the first to think of Chengqian Palace when something good happens.

Therefore, as soon as Li Dequan's words fell, everyone's eyes showed the same surprise.

At this time, a little eunuch following Li De's whole body held a scarlet tray in both hands and walked up to the imperial concubine with a few steps bowed.

On the tray was an exquisitely carved sandalwood brocade box.

"The emperor said, let the empress open it herself." Seeing the hesitant movements of the imperial concubine, Li Dequan hurriedly reminded.

The imperial concubine nodded slightly, stretched out her hand to take the sandalwood brocade box, opened it with her hand, but saw her eyes tightened suddenly, a look of shock appeared in her eyes, and the hand holding the sandalwood brocade box was still trembling slightly.

"This is..." The imperial concubine was stunned, even her voice changed.

Li Dequan nodded, and said: "Mother, this thing was rewarded by the emperor himself. The emperor said, let the empress keep it carefully, and don't accidentally lose it."

The sound was particularly strange in the silent hall, everyone's eyes were all on the sandalwood brocade box in the hands of the imperial concubine, but they couldn't see what was inside, which could make the imperial concubine lose her composure.

At this time, Li Dequan took out a roll of bright yellow imperial decree from his sleeve, with a slight majesty on his face.

"The emperor said that the slaves don't need to read the decree, the empress can just see it for herself."

Wang Miheng knelt on the ground behind the imperial concubine, he could almost hear everyone's heartbeat, the whole hall felt tense and restless, even his breathing was a little short.

She was as curious as everyone else about what Kangxi's decree said, but curiosity was nothing more than curiosity, and only the imperial concubine could know.

It wasn't until the next day, when she saw the pale Concubine De kneeling outside Chengqian Palace, that she realized it belatedly.

It turns out that there is a saying that is true. In the harem, there is only Kangxi who doesn't want to know, and there is nothing he can't know.

No, in just one night, he checked the matter clearly.Otherwise, no matter how the imperial concubine is the same deputy queen, she will definitely not slap Concubine De in the face so blatantly.

As soon as this idea came up, Wang Miheng became a little nervous again. Since Kangxi checked so clearly, would he know all the things she did intentionally or unintentionally.

Just thinking about it, Wang Miheng felt that the whole person was not well!
