Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 53

Concubine De didn't mind at all that this matter would make the concubines in the harem look down on her. If she could win the Queen Mother's favor, everything would be worth it.

She didn't worry if this matter would reach the emperor's ears. She had served the emperor for so many years and knew the emperor's temper well. She respected the queen mother not only in terms of etiquette.

Today's empress dowager is the second empress of the late emperor, and also the grandniece of the empress dowager. Although she is not favored by the late emperor, she is extremely peaceful, so she gets along very well with the emperor, and the emperor is also extremely filial to the empress dowager.

It's just that the queen mother believes in Buddhism and never asks about the affairs of the harem on weekdays, so she doesn't appear to be so high-profile.

She knew very well that as long as the queen mother is willing to see her, the emperor will not refute the queen mother's face and continue to "blame" her.

Concubine De knelt on the ground expressionlessly. The losers in this palace are nothing more than two fates, one is old death in the palace, and the other is dying. She can go from a little maid to today's step , must not give up all previous efforts just because of this incident.

Fortunately, the day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager had asked people to accept the scriptures she copied.

Just as Concubine De was thinking about it, Nanny Cui, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came out of the hall, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager let you in."

Hearing this, Concubine De was slightly relieved, the Queen Mother was willing to see her, and it was not in vain that she had suffered so much these days.

Xu Shi knelt for a long time, Concubine De's body staggered, and Nanny Cui hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Your Majesty, this servant will help you in."

Concubine De nodded gratefully towards her, as Concubine De could naturally afford her support, but now that she is being blamed by the Emperor, many things are different.

It is most common in this palace to see the wind and turn the rudder, not to mention Cui Mama is still a member of the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

As soon as Concubine De entered the hall, she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood. The Empress Dowager was sitting on the soft couch reading scriptures. She seemed in a good mood. My family read the scriptures you copied, and they were very careful."

"The empress dowager praises it. The concubine just wants to show some filial piety for the emperor. If the empress dowager can be satisfied, it is the concubine's good fortune." After hearing this, the concubine De replied very respectfully.

After all, Concubine De was promoted as a court lady, she spoke decently and sincerely, after a few words, the Empress Dowager looked at her with more satisfaction.

"Okay, come and sit down. If you feel unwell, the imperial physician from Ai's family will come and take a look for you."

Although the Empress Dowager said this, Concubine De didn't dare to do anything wrong, she just said: "The Empress Dowager has betrayed the concubines, how dare the concubines disturb the Queen Mother's peace."

Listening to Concubine De's words, the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the soft couch didn't force her, but only gave a glance to Aunt Cui who was beside her, and asked her to help Concubine De to sit down.

"This is the Longjing tea from Xingong this year, just try it and see if it tastes good."

Concubine De responded, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said: "The tea in the Empress Dowager's Palace is naturally excellent."

"Yes, everyone knows the emperor's filial piety." The queen mother said with emotion: "The emperor is the king of a country, and the affairs of the court are the most important things. All the people in the world will poke his spine."

Concubine De could faintly hear some clues, she only said respectfully on the face: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, my concubine will definitely remember it in my heart."

She didn't know if the Queen Mother's words were intended for her, but at least they were not casual.

"Ai's family doesn't go out on weekdays, so what's going on in this palace?" The Queen Mother seemed not to have heard what Concubine De said, and just asked casually.

Concubine De saw the Queen Mother like this, so she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is going to have a grandson in the next few days, and the concubines will congratulate the Queen Mother first."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with joy: "But the nobleman who was brought into the palace during the emperor's southern tour?"

Concubine De nodded: "It is the nobleman Mi, and it is also the blessing of sister Mi. There are so many sisters in the harem, but few are lucky to have sister Mi."

Concubine De deliberately mentioned this matter, but she wanted to put some eye drops in front of the Queen Mother.When the first emperor reigned, he only favored the Dong E family at that time, and the Dong E family was a Han.Now that the emperor is pampering the secretive nobleman so much, why is the empress dowager so upset?
Not to mention, will the Empress Dowager remember the industrious lady who had a miscarriage a few days ago.

The child in her womb is fine, but the noble man is unlucky, and so many things that the queen mother bestowed were wasted.

"Well, isn't it, royal heirs, there is no such good fortune anymore." The Queen Mother sighed, and then ordered: "Let someone take care of it, and don't make any mistakes."

Concubine De was a little surprised by the Queen Mother's reaction, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, she just replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the concubine will arrange it carefully."

Even though she said that, she knew how she could intervene in the affairs of the Qixiang Palace. Even the imperial concubine of the Chengqian Palace might not be able to arrange anything.

Who among the concubines in the Six Palaces today doesn't know that the emperor attaches great importance to secret nobles, not only rewarding them constantly, but also personally ordering the imperial physician to take care of them carefully.

That's all, Migui is pregnant, but the emperor is still with her every day, this is what makes people jealous.

But the matter of Yuan Guiren has just passed, and the harem is shocked by the emperor's thunderous fury, who dares to make a move at this time?
The two chatted for a while, and Concubine De got up to say goodbye. After walking outside the hall, she breathed a long sigh of relief and saw that the sky above her head was also a little bit blue.

"My servant congratulates the empress." Chun Xian said with a smile in her eyes.

Although she didn't know why the empress dowager was only willing to see her master today, but after all she did, the emperor would not neglect the empress because she was in the way of the empress dowager's face.

Qianqing Palace

After Kangxi listened to Li Dequan's words, his face froze tightly, and there was an indescribable chill all over his body.

Standing under the dragon case, Li Dequan knew that the imperial concubine really angered the emperor this time.

The emperor valued the master of the Qixiang Palace who didn't know anyone in the palace, so he couldn't figure out why the imperial concubine couldn't be peaceful, and she had to make some noise to be satisfied.

The child in Migui's womb hasn't been born yet, but she is worried about it.

Ordinarily, as a secret nobleman, he is not qualified to raise the prince himself, but whether he is qualified or not is not a matter of the emperor's words.

Just looking at these days when the emperor went to the Qixiang Palace as soon as he came to court, anyone with a wink knew that the master would not be able to move, let alone the prince in her stomach.

Li Dequan felt that the imperial concubine was simply seeking her own death.

Back then, Empress Xiao Yiren raised the fourth elder brother by her side because the emperor was thinking of each other's love, but what did her imperial concubine do these years that didn't completely wipe away the old love?It is a great grace for the emperor to keep her alive.

"Li Dequan, draw up the decree. The nobleman of Jin Dynasty is the secret concubine, and I will pass on the oral order, ordering the imperial concubine to copy the scriptures a hundred times, so as to cultivate her self-cultivation." Kangxi's eyes were faintly as cold as a sword.

Li Dequan responded, and hurriedly drafted an imperial decree, but he was not in a hurry to go out. He had followed the emperor for so many years, and he knew that even if the emperor valued a secret nobleman, he would not let him deliver this decree at this time.

In this palace, there is no concubine who has been promoted to the throne before the birth of the emperor. If this decree is made, not only will the entire harem be alarmed, but even the master of the Qixiang Palace will become a thorn in the eyes of all the concubines. .

The higher it is held, the harder it falls when it falls, even if the emperor can always pamper the secret nobleman, he can't guard against the open and hidden arrows in the harem!

"Let's go to Chengqian Palace to pass on my oral instructions." Kangxi took a look at Li Dequan and ordered.

"Slave is going now." Li Dequan hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out of the hall. When he walked out of the hall, his back was covered in cold sweat.

Come on, the imperial concubine took up the pole to find a way for the secret master, why is he so anxious as a slave!

In Chengqian Palace
After listening to Kangxi's oral instructions, the imperial concubine froze there on the spot, and asked after a long time: "Eunuch Li, but there is something wrong with this palace."

Li Dequan smiled: "Your Majesty is being overwhelmed. The Empress Dowager worships the Buddha on a daily basis. My Majesty should just treat it as a filial piety for the Empress Dowager."

Seeing Li Dequan's appearance, the imperial concubine understood, and only said: "I have to thank you, father-in-law."

Li Dequan said he didn't dare, then turned around and retreated.

The imperial concubine looked at Li Dequan's back and completely slumped on the soft couch.

She clearly felt the emperor's anger from the emperor's oral instructions, and she recalled the events of the past few days in her mind several times.

After a long time, he murmured something.

"Mommy, there are people from the emperor in Chengqian Palace."

The only thing she could think of was that matter, but she only said those words in Chengqian Palace, if it wasn't for the emperor's people in her palace, the emperor would not have known about it just now .

Before she could say anything, she heard footsteps coming from the outside, and the imperial concubine raised her head and looked forward.

"I want to report to your empress, the secret nobleman has activated, and the emperor has already got up and drove to the Qixiang Palace."
