Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 50

The news that Concubine De was punished to kneel in Chengqian Palace had not yet passed, when news came that Yuan Guiren died suddenly in the prison. It was said that she died suddenly, but everyone knew that she would not have wanted to die without the emperor's will That opportunity seemed to confirm everyone's speculation, and then Kangxi made a decree.

The house was ransacked, imprisoned, and exiled, and the Yuan family disappeared in just one night.

Kangxi's thunderous fury calmed down the hearts of the harem, so in the following months, the harem became much calmer, at least on the surface.

After Wang Miheng finished her breakfast, she lay down on the soft couch for a while. The day of giving birth was getting closer, and she became more and more lethargic. She spent most of the day in bed, He didn't even care about the affairs of the palace.

Fortunately, apart from drowsiness, there is no other discomfort.Besides, in her Qixiang Palace, apart from daily eating and drinking, she really doesn't have anything that needs her attention.

At this time, having a servant who is as comprehensive as Qiumei is extremely useful.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. These days, everything she wears and uses is boiled in boiling water before being delivered to her.

As it gets to the end, the more you can't be sloppy.

After all, she is the only one who is pregnant in this harem now.

An hour had passed when Wang Miheng woke up, and the sunlight outside the window was extraordinarily warm. She sat up and reached out to touch her growing belly, silently counting the date in her heart.

If there is no mistake, it will be in these few days.

"My lord, are you awake?" Seeing her waking up, Qiumei hurriedly put down the half-finished embroidery, then stood up and walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Wang Miheng picked up the teacup and took a few sips, then grabbed a handful of plums from the silver plate and ate them.

Green plums look sour. In Qiumei's words, they seem to be sour on the tongue, but Wang Miheng loves them very much.And I like to eat this kind of unpickled plums the most, and I feel that the taste becomes more and more addictive the more I eat it.

"Concubine De still going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning as usual these few days?" After eating for a while, Wang Miheng asked softly.

Qiumei nodded slightly: "I heard that she would kneel outside the Cining Palace for an hour every day, but the Empress Dowager devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha and never saw her once."

Qiumei's voice paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "However, yesterday, the nurse next to the Empress Dowager came out and took in the scriptures copied by Concubine De."

When Wang Miheng heard this, there was no trace of surprise on his face.Concubine De's methods are much better than others.

The previous concubine was convicted of Kangxi, but she just knelt outside the Qianqing Palace every day. Not only did Kangxi not see her, but ordered someone to reprimand her.As for Concubine De, she would never go to Qianqing Palace by herself at this moment to find her uncomfortable.

She has been in the palace for many years and has always served by Kangxi's side. She definitely has a deeper understanding of Kangxi's temperament than ordinary people.So she took the road of "curve to save the country".

First, kneeling in the Palace of Compassion and Ning just wanted to pay respects to the Queen Mother, and second, she copied the scriptures not to plead guilty, but to show her filial piety to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager worships Buddha devoutly, and I don't know which concubine in the harem.

Who can say that Concubine De has ulterior motives in honoring the Empress Dowager?Even if he was mocking in his heart, he couldn't utter a word, let alone show a trace of resentment, otherwise, it would be a crime of disrespect.

Smart people never destroy the Great Wall themselves.

Concubine De is a smart woman.The only thing wrong was finding a pig teammate like Yuan Guiren, and dragged her into the water when things didn't work out.

No, the Empress Dowager's side has been a little loose, although Concubine De was still not allowed to enter, but the scriptures she copied were all presented to the Empress Dowager.

I believe that it won't be long before Concubine De can regain her favor with the help of the Queen Mother.

She had to admit that Concubine De was a ruthless woman, she could be so ruthless to herself, let alone others.

Going to the Compassionate Peace Palace every day to pay respects, and kneeling for an entire hour, how many people in this palace can do such a thing?
Wang Miheng asked herself, she couldn't bear this hardship.

Qiumei looked at her little master's thoughtful expression, thinking that it was the matter of Concubine De that bothered her, and she only persuaded: "Young master, don't worry, even if Concubine De turned over, she wouldn't look for the young master." Little master, please don't forget what happened in Chengqian Palace that day."

Going to Yizhang blame, although it hit the maid, but in the eyes of everyone, it was tantamount to hitting Concubine De who was kneeling on the ground.

This kind of humiliation will definitely be unforgettable to her heart, no matter how much Concubine De can bear it, she will not be willing to let people be so bad.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Qiumei's face, Wang Miheng only said with emotion: "If she is impatient, she won't be able to achieve the current climate."

Qiumei smiled worryingly: "As long as the little master can give birth to a little elder brother for the emperor, the little master will not have to be afraid of anything in the future."

Hearing her words, Wang Miheng smiled and said sullenly: "I don't know if it's the prince or the princess?"

It is said that sour girls are hot girls, but when they come to her, they have all taken up. Could it be possible that they can still give birth to twins?

Wang Miheng shook her head, feeling that she was overthinking, how could such a thing happen to her by such a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Wang Miheng had to lament the thoughtfulness of a woman. Ever since her belly got bigger day by day, she loved to think more and more.I wonder if the baby in my stomach is healthy, whether it is a boy or a girl, how painful it will be on the day of delivery, and whether she will die of pain.

In short, although she is not sentimental, she has thought back and forth about what she should think and what should not be these days.

While the two were talking, they heard a sharp cry from outside: "The emperor is here!"

Wang Miheng wasn't surprised, in fact, these days Kangxi came to her Qixiang Palace almost immediately, counting carefully, the time she spends with him these days is twice as much as before.

I don't know, what kind of wind is Kangxi, maybe he was stimulated by Concubine De, so he came to find comfort in her.

Wang Miheng got up, straightened his clothes, and walked out holding Qiumei's hand. Just as he reached the door, he saw Kangxi's figure.

"Your Majesty Wanan." Wang Miheng made a gesture to bless his body, and then he straightened up on his own.

Kangxi's gaze stayed on her for a moment, and he asked, "Is your body okay?"

Wang Miheng listened, and laughed in his heart. These days, every time Kangxi came to visit, the first sentence was these five words. He was not tired of saying it, but she was tired of hearing it.

Taking care of it every day, where is there any inappropriate place?
Wang Miheng nodded slightly, and thanked Kangxi: "The emperor asks this every day, but my concubine can't give any other answers."

Kangxi laughed loudly, put his arms around her body and walked towards the hall.

As soon as she sat on the soft couch, Qiumei served tea respectfully, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Kangxi said suddenly.

Qiumei turned around with obvious surprise in her eyes, then she frowned and waited for Kangxi's order.

Kangxi has come to Qixiang Palace so many times, but he has never taken the initiative to talk to anyone other than Wang Miheng.No wonder Qiumei was surprised, even Wang Miheng felt a little surprised.

"Li Dequan has clothes newly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will tidy them up for your master."

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Wang Miheng saw Qiumei and let out a sigh of relief.Wang Miheng looked at her, smiled, and nodded to her.

Qiumei blessed her body respectfully, then turned and left.

Only Wang Miheng and Kangxi were left in the hall.

"Why does the emperor want to scare her like this?" Wang Miheng asked with a smile as soon as Qiumei left.

"When did I scare her, and you came to tell me?" Kangxi laughed, and he became interested rarely, wanting to tease her well.

Seeing what Kangxi meant, Wang Miheng pretended to be angry and said: "I know what the emperor said. If the emperor has any orders in the future, just tell the servants directly. The concubines can't listen to it and can't control it."

Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help laughing out loud: "So much jealousy? I won't dare to say a word to people in your palace in the future."

Sure enough, Wang Miheng knew how to read words and expressions. Although Kangxi was joking with her today, his mood was obviously not as good as before.She deliberately acted jealously, just to make him laugh.

Wang Miheng never asked about court affairs, and since ancient times, it has been said that too many words will be lost, especially a woman who has become an emperor, the last thing she should do is talk too much.

There are all kinds of exquisite and small pastries on the table, as well as a plate of unpickled plums.

When Kangxi finished the tea in his hand, seeing Wang Miheng eating plums one by one with relish, he frowned, casually picked up a plum between his fingers and observed it.

"It's better to eat less of this stuff. Let the imperial dining room make and deliver what you want to eat." There was an undisguised disgust in Kangxi's eyes.

Wang Miheng rolled his eyes in his heart, looked at Kangxi who was sitting opposite her, and muttered in his mouth: "You will never understand women's things in your life."

"What?" Kangxi narrowed his eyes, and his eyes fell on Wang Miheng's face.

"The concubine is saying that what the emperor said is very true." Wang Miheng glanced at Kangxi, and then said flatteringly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw four big words written on Kangxi's face: I believe you will be blamed.

Wang Miheng choked for a moment, so he had to put down the unfinished plums in his hand in embarrassment. Kangxi saw her movements, and his eyes showed a little bit of complacency.

Old Kang, why do you want to bully the Yin family like this?

Kangxi looked at the table and wanted to pick up a book on the table, but when Wang Miheng reached out to grab it, it was already too late.

"Why do you prefer to read these things? I don't see you watching other things?" Kangxi looked at the four characters "You Jiuhua Ji" on the cover and asked strangely.

Kangxi was holding one of the travel notes written by Shi Guizhang. At this time, Shi Guizhang was not as famous as later generations, but he had made some achievements.

A Jinshi in Shunzhi, he was a erudite scholar in Kangxi, and now he has been an official to serve as a servant.
