Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 60

On the eighth day of January in the 29th year of Kangxi, Wang Miheng finally confinement.She took a beautiful bath for half an hour, and when she came out, she chose a lake-green dress embroidered with peonies, and asked Qiulan to comb her hair into a small eight-character hairstyle, and inserted a sapphire tassel hairpin. A little rouge was applied on the face, and looking at the makeup in the mirror, it really made people's eyes shine.

"Master, you are really looking better and better. The emperor will be happy to see you soon." Qiumei said admiringly while helping Wang Miheng to dress up.

Wang Miheng was speechless for a while, this girl is really a typical ancient woman, although she is a woman who pleases herself, but she is so good-looking, can't it be for myself to see?

"That's true, your young master is born beautiful, and the emperor will definitely like it when he sees it." Wang Miheng turned around in front of the mirror and said jokingly.

This time, Qiumei was speechless.Where there is such a boast, the master is not afraid of being heard.

But then again, my master is really good-looking. After confinement, his skin is tender and tender. Although he is a little fatter than before, there is a unique aura all over his body, which can make people fall in love at a glance. go in.

Although Qiumei couldn't express that feeling, she just felt that her master was very good, and the emperor would definitely not be able to look away when he saw her.

While the two were talking, Li Dequan came in.He bowed and saluted Wang Miheng.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting there, let the servants come and urge you."

Wang Miheng nodded, and said politely, "Eunuch Lao, please come over."

When she was in the later generations, she only knew that Li Dequan was the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and he was shrewd and experienced, but after getting to know the truth, she felt that this famous father-in-law was also a pretty good person.

After being in the palace for so long, he took good care of her. I don't know if it's because they are both Han Chinese.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a traditional rule in the palace, that is, all eunuchs were Han Chinese, and a respectable court lady must be a bannerman. Although Li Dequan has now been mixed into the position of chief eunuch, he is still a Han Chinese after all.

Hearing Wang Miheng's words, Li Dequan bowed his body, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really offends this slave, your Majesty's business is the Emperor's business, and this slave should do his best."

When Li Dequan said this, he was not sloppy at all. Ever since Eunuch Liang left the palace for retirement, he has become No.1 in front of the emperor, but all these years, the only one who can make the emperor value him so much is the secret master. Regardless of whether it is a nobleman or the lord of the first palace, as long as the emperor keeps it in mind, the good days of the secret master are yet to come!
No, the secret master was just out of confinement, and the emperor gave him a meal in the Qianqing Palace. Not everyone has such a blessing.

The emperor's behavior clearly shows that he has the secret master in his heart, and he can't wait for a moment.

The sedan chair walked slowly, and Wang Miheng lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window, probably because he had been locked up for too long, and now that he came out to let the wind out, he felt extraordinarily comfortable.

When passing the imperial garden, Wang Miheng heard several cries and reprimands.

Wang Miheng lifted the curtain, and saw a brightly dressed woman slapping a court lady, and yelling loudly.

Wang Miheng felt a little strange, when did such a bold woman appear in this palace?
This is the Imperial Garden, although it is not very close to the Qianqing Palace, it is only a short time away.This woman is going to fight here, and she is not afraid of spreading it to Kangxi's ears.

The point is, everyone in the harem knows that there is a little bit of discipline, and the master never has to do it himself to teach the slaves, so as not to lower his status.

And this one, without even thinking about it, just started it himself.

Wang Miheng couldn't help frowning, he had seen someone without a brain, but he had never seen such a mindless one.

"Miss, this servant is aware of his mistake, please spare this servant."

"You maidservant, where are your eyes? How do you go to see the emperor when your clothes are dirty?"

The court lady knelt on the ground and sobbed, Wang Miheng saw the gleaming palm marks on her face, and felt uncomfortable for no reason.

This forest is so big that there are really all kinds of birds. This woman's domineering is a little bit more than that of the original concubine Ding.I don't know which concubine of Kangxi it is.

Seeing Wang Miheng lift the curtain, Li Dequan ran over a long time ago, looked at the doubt in her eyes, and quickly explained: "Master, that is the niece of Concubine Hui, who will live in the palace for a while."

Concubine Hui?

Wang Miheng secretly slandered in his heart, this concubine Hui looked stable, but she did not expect her niece to be a flamboyant person.

He has just entered the palace, yet he dares to tie up the palace maids in the imperial garden. If it has been a long time, he still doesn't know how to be arrogant?
"Let's go." Wang Miheng withdrew his gaze and continued to let people move forward without meddling.There is a saying that the more you manage, the more trouble you will have. She doesn't think she has the potential to be a saint.

After the sedan chair walked for a while, it arrived at the Qianqing Palace. There were two rows of guards standing outside the palace, maintaining the same posture and looking extremely serious.

Li Dequan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please go in."

Wang Miheng nodded, opened the door and walked in slowly.

When Wang Miheng entered, Kangxi was sitting behind the dragon table and reviewing papers. His serious appearance really had a unique charm.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Wang Miheng stepped forward, blessed his body, and said softly.

Hearing her voice, Kangxi raised his head, which made Wang Miheng very speechless, she pushed the door very loudly, but every time Kangxi had to wait for her to greet her before pretending that he just knew she came in.

As it is now, those who don't know think that he enjoys her kneeling especially?

"Why so long?" Kangxi's familiar voice slowly sounded in her ear.

Wang Miheng hastily explained: "When you come to see the emperor, your concubines should wash and groom carefully, lest... lest they offend the emperor."

Listening to Kangxi's question, Wang Miheng felt a little strange, he didn't tell her to come over right away, he only asked her to accompany her for dinner in Qianqing Palace, but doesn't it happen to be lunch time now?

In other words, she came just in time.

What's more, isn't it natural for men to wait for women?Although Kangxi was the king of a country, he had so many women one after another, so he should know something about women's dressing habits.

Besides, when she was really late before, she didn't see him ask a question, did she?

Listening to Wang Miheng's explanation, a smile flashed in Kangxi's eyes, and he waved to her, as if he didn't see the puzzlement in her eyes.

Seeing the smile in Kangxi's eyes, Wang Miheng felt that Kangxi had treated him as a pet all his life, but he could only walk over slowly according to Kangxi's wishes.

On the dragon case, there are memorials one by one. The part on the right hand side was seen by Kangxi, but the part on the left hand side was not. Wang Miheng was secretly surprised when he saw the high-level memorials. She has been to Qianqing Palace many times, and she has never seen so many memorials. It seems that the past few days, the previous court should not be peaceful again.

Kangxi took Wang Miheng's hand, exerted a little force, took Wang Miheng into his arms, took a deep breath, and jokingly said: "As expected, Concubine Ai has carefully dressed up, smelling it makes me feel comfortable."

Sitting on Kangxi's lap, Wang Miheng listened to his jokes and said coquettishly, "Then the emperor should not blame his concubine."

Kangxi glanced at Wang Miheng thoughtfully, with a smile in his eyes: "Why would I be willing to blame Mier?"

Wang Miheng found out a long time ago that Kangxi would call her Mier when he was in a good mood. Hearing these two words, she was slightly relieved and said with a smile: "The emperor should pass on the meal, right? Are the concubines a little hungry?"

He said he was asking her to come to accompany him for a meal, but now he didn't even see her. If she didn't open her mouth, she didn't know when she would be able to eat the meal.

"Pass the meal!" Hearing Wang Miheng's "complaint", Kangxi raised his voice to order.

Following Kangxi's order, the eunuchs and maids came in one after another from outside the hall, came out and went in again with food boxes in their hands.

In this palace, the food cannot be served directly on the table. Firstly, it is afraid of getting cold, and secondly, it is disrespectful.It can only look decent if it is placed in a food box.But Kangxi had so many dishes in one meal, Wang Miheng sat there and looked at the court ladies and eunuchs coming in and out, his eyes were almost blurred.

How much manpower and material resources will be saved if this is to be placed in later generations, Wang Miheng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

After everything was ready, the eunuch who tasted it came forward to check whether it was poisonous with a silver needle, and then added a little bit of each dish to try, so Wang Miheng didn't really use it until half an hour later. lunch.

Wang Miheng sighed in her heart, after tossing and tossing for such a long time, she almost fainted from hunger, okay?No wonder people say that eating with the emperor is suffering, no, she realized it again.

Fortunately, she was used to this kind of thing, so even after waiting for a long time, she was still very interested in seeing the dazzling array of dishes on the table.

Who made Kangxi the best food in the whole palace?
Shredded lotus seed powder, almond tofu, shrimp roe, stewed chicken with mushrooms, roast lamb, stewed ham with yellow sprouts, stewed meat with cauliflower head, smoked fish roe, coir raincoat cake... There is also a pot of shabu-shabu.

Wang Miheng's favorite is this hot pot, which is steaming hot, and it is extraordinarily fragrant.

I don't know if it was because she was hungry, but Wang Miheng's appetite was exceptionally good. Seeing her like this, Kangxi was also infected, and for the first time, he ate two bowls of rice.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Li Dequan walked in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty." Li Dequan bowed and called out to the Emperor.

"What's the matter?" Seeing him coming in, Kangxi didn't get angry, just put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui sent someone to ask the Emperor to come to Zhongcui Palace later, saying that dinner is prepared for the Emperor."

Hearing this, Kangxi's eyes flashed doubts, but Wang Miheng understood, there is no such thing as dinner, it is obviously a beauty, and she is still very individual.

Wang Miheng lowered his head and secretly laughed.

"Mi'er seems very happy?" Although he was talking to Li Dequan, Kangxi did not miss Wang Miheng's little gesture, and asked with a half-smile.
