Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 55

When Wang Miheng opened his eyes, it was already dark.

Seeing her wake up, Qiumei exclaimed happily: "My lord, are you awake?"

"Where's the child?" She remembered that she had given birth to a pair of twins.

"Don't worry, my lord, there are nuns to take care of her, and the slaves asked them to bring you here." Qiumei turned around and walked out of the hall as she spoke, her actions were more anxious than that of a mother-in-law like her.

In a blink of an eye, the two nuns walked into the hall one after the other, and greeted her with the two infant children in their arms: "My servant greets you."

"Come here, be careful not to drop the child." Wang Miheng leaned on the soft pillow, watched their movements, and couldn't help reminding.

As soon as she finished saying this, she was stunned for a moment. According to her age, she would still be a child in later generations, but now she knew that she was worried about her own child.

This is really...

With smiles on their faces, the two nuns carefully walked to the bed and bent down: "Look at you, my lord, the little elder brother is so handsome, and the little princess is so cute, you are so lucky."

Wang Miheng looked at the baby in the swaddle with joy, it was too small to tell which was the elder brother and which was the princess.

"My lord, this is elder brother, and this is the princess." The two nuns were very good at observing words and expressions, seeing the doubt in Wang Miheng's eyes, they quickly explained.

Wang Miheng smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers to touch this little hand, and rubbed that little face, the tentacles were all soft, Wang Miheng felt that the whole person was too cute.

Suddenly, the little princess raised her white and tender little arm and waved it, and then, a finger hooked her little finger.

Wang Miheng was stunned, and didn't dare to use force, but gently held her little hand, for fear of accidentally hurting the baby.

"My lord, the emperor personally hugged Elder Brother and the princess before!" Qiumei who was standing beside her had a gleam of joy in her eyes, as if she was talking about a great event.

Wang Miheng nodded, instead of being overjoyed by the news, he became worried from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as she entered the palace to teach her, the nanny explained to her the rules of the harem, and she remembered one of them very clearly, that is, nobles and concubines below nobles are not qualified to raise their own children. If they give birth, they must remember Under the name of a higher-ranking concubine.

These days, there was not a day when she didn't worry about this matter, but she didn't want to ask Kangxi directly, for fear that he would feel that she was restless, and her heart would grow bigger just after having a child.

A companion is like a tiger, even though she is not restrained in front of him on weekdays, she can't help being careless when encountering important matters related to the rules of the ancestors.

What's more, if she remembers correctly, in history, she was canonized as a secret concubine only after giving birth to the emperor's eighteenth son, Yinzhu.

A single inadvertent move will lose everything. She doesn't want to fall out of favor and be trampled by others, and she doesn't want her child to be looked down upon in the harem because of her fall out of favor.

Take the eighth elder brother as an example, if Mrs. Wei had the favor of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother would not have such a hard life.

More recently, with the lessons learned from Concubine Ding and Yuan Guiren, Wang Miheng did not dare to have too much hope for Kangxi's so-called doting.

The emperor's favor might disappear because she said a wrong word, so who should she cry to?
What Wang Miheng didn't expect was that this time, she really underestimated Kangxi's friendship with her.

No, early in the morning, Li Dequan came to announce the decree.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Today, there is a Wang family who is gentle and virtuous, abides by the palace rules, respects and cares for the heart, serves the palace for a long time, and has made meritorious service with the emperor's heirs. After that, he will be named a secret concubine and still live in the Qixiang Palace. Don't betray the emperor's favor, don't disobey the holy will, respect this!"

Through the screen, Wang Miheng listened to Li Dequan's high-pitched voice read word by word. Every time she said a word, her heart beat faster.It wasn't until she heard the word secret concubine at the end that she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, God bless, no, Kangxi is reliable, otherwise, she would be really worried to death.

However, this Kangxi is really calm, she has been entangled for such a long time without revealing the slightest meaning.

"The slave congratulated the empress. If there is nothing else, the slave will go back to work in Qianqing Palace first." Li Dequan was full of smiles, and there was a beam of joy through the screen.

That's right, when the emperor is happy, so are their slaves.

The emperor has been on the throne for many years, and it is the first time that a dragon and a phoenix are born in the harem. Such a good omen, who can say that it is not God's favor?

"Thank you, father-in-law." Wang Miheng nodded, and ordered Qiumei to send Li Dequan out.

"Niang Niang?" Wang Miheng said to himself, she is now also an empress, Wang Miheng laughed out of joy.

Originally, she was still worried, but she didn't expect such a big piece of stuffed pie to fall from the sky. Who wouldn't be happy if it was changed?

Wang Miheng never imagined that the reason why she was promoted to the concubine so quickly was more or less thanks to the imperial concubine.

If the imperial concubine hadn't been worried about the fact that Kangxi knew about the child in her womb, perhaps the current situation would not have happened.At least, not as fast as it is now.

So, she was happy, but the imperial concubine of Chengqian Palace threw a set of precious white jade teacups to the ground in anger.

"Concubine? Is the emperor so impatient?" The imperial concubine pushed all the things on the table to the ground with unconcealable hatred in her voice.

"Concubine? Even a Han Chinese is worthy of being the first palace lord?" Her voice was already choked with sobs.

The emperor can be nice to everyone, but he is so ruthless to her alone.

She never wanted to get all the emperor's favor, but the emperor didn't give her even a little affection, which made her feel a hundred times more uncomfortable than killing her.

For the sake of a Han girl who can't stand on the stage, the emperor personally ordered her to be excused and slapped her hard.Now, for the sake of the child in her womb, she was punished for copying scriptures a hundred times, and now, she was also promoted to be a secret concubine?
Why can't she see that nobleman Mi is a little bit worthy of being the first palace lord?
Seeing her appearance, Nanny Gui gestured with her eyes, and everyone retreated cautiously.

"Left and right are just concubines, why should your empress take it to heart? No matter what she does, she can't surpass your empress."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine turned around abruptly, and looked straight at Nanny Gui standing in front of her, as if she wanted to see into Nanny Gui's bones.

"I can't get past it? Huh? I can't get past it?" The imperial concubine laughed foolishly a few times, as if she was speaking to herself, or as if she was speaking to Nanny Gui: "Is it a concubine that I care about?"

Hearing the meaning of her words, Nanny Gui only sighed softly, what else can the empress do when things are in this situation?

Right now, the emperor can't tolerate having a prince by his empress' side, no matter whether it's his own son or adopted son, the emperor will never agree to his empress.

If she had a little bit of expectation before, let the empress do what Empress Xiaoyiren did before, and raise Miguiren's son in Chengqian Palace as her own son.Then since the emperor asked Li Dequan to pass the oral order, all this thought has disappeared.

The empress is right, there are people from the emperor in Chengqian Palace.

That means that all the dirty things that the empress has done these years have fallen into the ears of the emperor.In this way, I can't blame the emperor for treating the empress like this.

When she was in the mansion, she could tell that Da Gege was kind-hearted, but it was the two Gege who were ruthless in doing things like a madam.So she always felt that she was more suitable for this palace than Da Gege, but she never thought that it was precisely this that ruined her.

If it wasn't for the fact that the empress didn't think about it at the beginning, she felt that the emperor's thoughts were all on Empress Xiao Yiren, and she couldn't bear the emperor's kindness to the concubines in the harem, so she resorted to those methods, perhaps the emperor would not ignore the past affection.

It's just that today, it's too late to say anything, the emperor no longer has any place for the empress in his heart.

Otherwise, it would not be the first step to punish the empress for copying the scriptures, and the second step to promote the secret nobleman to be the secret concubine.

Anyway, the Empress is also an imperial concubine, she is in the same position as the deputy empress, and she will more or less know about the canonization of concubines.

She knew that the emperor was no longer willing to bear with his mother.

Concubine De just smiled slightly when she heard the news, as expected, it just came sooner than expected.

It seems that she still underestimated the emperor's importance to nobleman Mi.No, she is already a secret concubine now.

"Prepare some things and send them to the secret concubine, it's my kindness."

After hearing this, Chunxian couldn't help but look at the empress sitting on the soft couch. Seeing her smiling, doubts flashed in her eyes, but she replied, "I'm going now, slave."

It's also strange, it stands to reason that the empress should be angry after hearing the news, but why can she still laugh at this moment.

Chunxian shook her head slightly, feeling that she was getting more and more confused about the empress' temperament.

What Chunxian didn't expect was that Concubine De had already prepared for this, but it was earlier than she expected.Secondly, the decree was issued by the emperor himself, not the empress dowager's decree. After thinking about it, it is clear that the emperor did not inform the imperial concubine about this at all. This is indeed good news for the concubine De .

So what about the same vice queen, isn't it just a gorgeous decoration?

Concubine De picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip lightly, thinking about the news from Chengqian Palace yesterday, the corners of her mouth slightly curved into a nice curve.

The scriptures are indeed a good thing for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the emperor's "kindness" to her is not in vain.
