Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 62

As soon as Kangxi left, the little eunuch next to Li Dequan went to Zhongcui Palace to convey the order, saying that the emperor was already on his way, and he asked the empress to be ready to meet him.

Concubine Hui was full of smiles, and asked someone to reward the visitor with a bag of broken silver. She turned her head, but found her niece standing there looking at her shyly.

"Go and tidy up quickly, let the emperor take a good look at Rong'er." Concubine Hui burst out laughing, motioned for a glance at the nurse beside her, and ordered softly.

"Auntie!" Nala Yurong blushed, stomped her feet, and followed the nun behind the screen.Not long after, she changed into a light green flag dress embroidered with peonies, which was elegant and gentle, and with those vivid almond eyes, people couldn't take their eyes off for a while.

Concubine Hui nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid there won't be many of them in the harem."

The nurse next to her also praised her: "Your Majesty is right, Yurong Gege is Your Majesty's own niece, so she naturally follows your Majesty's appearance."

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, as long as the emperor..." Her voice paused for a while, she carefully looked at Nala Yurong standing there, and then beckoned to her come over.

Nala Yurong stepped forward slowly, and called out a little nervously: "Auntie."

"Don't be afraid, think about what your Ama told you." Concubine Hui took Nala Yurong's hand and looked carefully, then took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand.

"Auntie." Nala Yurong looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist and said doubtfully.

"Put it on, it was rewarded by the emperor himself." After finishing speaking, he said in a slightly serious voice: "Since you have entered the palace, you must understand the rules in the palace. The Department of Punishment will deal with it, don't lower your status."

Nalayu was startled, no one saw her when she tied the maid, why did it reach her aunt's ears now?
Before she could speak, Concubine Hui sighed and said, "There are eyes everywhere in this palace. You think others don't know, but it's just you who don't understand."

"Although aunt can protect you a little bit, you have to restrain yourself a bit. You must never be the same as when you were in the mansion."

Nala Yurong nodded, "Yu Rong has remembered what Auntie said, and she will definitely not cause trouble for Auntie."

Listening to Nala Yurong's words, Concubine Hui frowned indistinctly, this girl is still immature after all.It's just that she has no other choice now. Anyway, Yurong's surname is Nala's, and only she and herself are of one mind.

Besides, although Yurong's temperament is a bit more flamboyant, if she is a little restrained, the emperor will like it.

I heard that the secret concubine in the Qixiang Palace is not as submissive and gentle as she appears on the surface, and she has had tempers with the emperor in private.If this is the case, Yurong's temperament might be able to catch the eyes of the emperor.

When Kangxi's Luanjia came over, Concubine Hui had already led Zhongcui Palace to kneel outside the palace and waited for a long time.

Concubine Hui knelt at the front, Nala Yurong knelt behind Concubine Hui on the right, and the maids and eunuchs of Zhongcui Palace knelt on both sides.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Such a respectful battle made Kangxi frowned uncomfortably, but he still stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and said, "Just waiting in the hall, why did you come out?"

As soon as he said this, an unnatural look flashed across Concubine Hui's face, and in a blink of an eye she changed into a gentle smile: "The room is a little stuffy, and this concubine wants to come out and wait for the emperor."

Hearing Concubine Hui's words, Kangxi immediately understood most of the rules, also, the rules in this palace, which palace he wants to go to, there will be eunuchs in advance to deliver the decree, once the decree arrives, who would have the guts not to come out to greet him?

Thinking of this, Kangxi's face was a bit strange, but no one except Li Dequan could guess what was going on in his mind. At the moment of doubt, Kangxi had already walked straight into the hall.

Concubine Hui came back to her senses, gave Nala Yurong a look, and hurriedly followed in.

Concubine Hui held the teacup and handed it over with her own hands: "Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

Kangxi took the teacup and took a sip slowly, his eyes fell on Nala Yurong who was standing aside, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Concubine Hui glanced at Nala Yurong, and said with a smile: "Yurong, I haven't seen the emperor yet."

Nala Yurong stepped forward slowly, and greeted respectfully, with a soft and soft voice: "My daughter Nala Yurong greets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The hall was quiet, Kangxi didn't call out, Nala Yurong knelt on the ground, a little nervous after a long time.

"Yurong is lonely and shed tears, and a branch of pear blossom brings rain in spring." Kangxi's eyes fell on Nala Yurong, and he read a poem with great interest.

"Get up, this name is quite interesting." Kangxi chuckled and glanced at Nala Yurong who was still kneeling there.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing these words, Nala Yurong stood up, a slight blush appeared on her face, she raised her head cautiously, her eyes were like water, and she met Kangxi's gaze.

Nala Yurong smiled, she was generous and did not avoid Kangxi's sight, but she also carried some shyness unique to her daughter's family.

Kangxi looked at Nala Yurong who was standing there shyly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Hui looked at this scene, and smiled knowingly in her heart, the emperor is obviously interested in Yurong like this.It's just that this matter was much easier than she imagined, which made her a little uneasy for no reason.

Concubine Hui shook her head to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, which one the emperor likes depends entirely on the emperor's will.It is also the blessing of the Nala clan that Yurong can be seen by the emperor.

If Yurong can win the favor of the emperor, Yinyi will also have a little more help.

As for Mrs. Wei, let's put this pawn first, anyway, the eighth elder brother is raised under her name no matter what, and calls her mother-in-law.

After thinking about this, Concubine Hui smiled, and turned around to order the maid to pass on the meal.

One after another delicacies were served on the table, and Concubine Hui stood aside, helping Kangxi prepare the dishes.She was standing like this, so it was not easy for Nala Yurong to sit down.

"Okay, sit down, leave these things to the maids to do." Kangxi's gaze stayed on Nala Yurong for a second, and then ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the two thanked each other, they sat down, and immediately after that, a court lady stood at the table and served Kangxi carefully.

The ancients paid attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, so apart from the occasional sound of the maid serving dishes, there was no movement in the hall.

Kangxi frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked casually, "How old is Yurong this year?"

Hearing Kangxi's words, Nala Yurong bowed her head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, my daughter is seventeen this year."

"Seventeen?" Kangxi muttered to himself.

"What do you do at home on weekdays?"

"The courtier has been literate since she was a child, and has read the Four Books and Five Classics. She has also learned some riding and archery with her mother and elder brother. In her spare time, she is a female celebrity."

Kangxi was not surprised by Nala Yurong's answer.It's just that it sounds awkward to be a female celebrity in this spare time.

After Nala Yurong said this, although she didn't show it on the face, she was unavoidably nervous in her heart.It was the first time she entered the palace and also saw the emperor for the first time, so I don't know if the emperor is satisfied with her answer.

But she always remembered what her mother-in-law said, that the emperor sees too many ordinary women, so there must be something unique in order to attract the emperor's attention.

The aunt also said that the emperor's favorite now is the secret concubine of the Qixiang Palace, and this secret concubine is a Han woman.

She has read the Four Books and Five Classics, although she is not as knowledgeable as the emperor, she is considered a leader among the noble ladies of the Manchu family.

Kangxi nodded, and suggested with great interest: "Since I have read many books, is Yurong willing to serve ink in Qianqing Palace?"

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, Nala Yurong froze there, her heart was beating very fast, what the emperor meant was to...

"My daughter is willing." Nala Yurong held back her excitement and knelt down to thank her.

Concubine Hui seemed a little uneasy about Kangxi's proposal. After the emperor ascended the throne, it was very easy for a woman in the harem to serve Mo. Yurong just entered the palace, and she has gained such a great respect. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

No matter what Concubine Hui thinks, since Kangxi has spoken, it is the will, and no one has the courage to disobey the imperial order.

Everything depends on Yurong's own good luck.

In the Qixiang Palace, when Wang Miheng heard the news, he was surprised for several seconds before he burst out laughing.

With this Yurong Gege serving Mo, she doesn't have to worry about how to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

She believed that the news that Kangxi had a new favorite should reach the Queen Mother's ears by now.

In this way, the queen mother still has no reason to accuse her of monopolizing Kangxi's favor.

Serving Gege?Wang Miheng thought to herself, she felt that Kangxi was really talented, thanks to him being able to figure it out, and she didn't know if Gege from Nalashi felt wronged.

Anyway, if she was replaced, she would feel wronged more or less.After all, she entered the Qianqing Palace and served Kangxi, but she was not a proper court lady.Even if the two of them had done nothing innocently, rumors and rumors were flying all over the sky.

Such dignity is really tricky!
