Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 80

"What are you talking about so lively, why don't you tell me?"

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, the imperial concubine glanced at Kangxi who was sitting on the soft couch very quickly, and replied with a slight smile: "The concubines are talking to Sister Hui about Zhi's promise, and Zhi's promise was made by Hui's sister/ The etiquette is thoughtful, so I came to Chengqian Palace early this morning to pay my respects."

Listening to her casual words, the concubines standing below exchanged glances with disdain on their faces.

What the imperial concubine said was too insincere.But the emperor never stepped into the gate of Chengqian Palace, why did he come here today?
Wang Miheng withdrew his gaze and stood there with eyebrows frowned, as if he didn't hear what the imperial concubine said at all, just staring at the ground in a daze.

Hearing what the imperial concubine said, Kangxi didn't say a word.The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressing, all the concubines trembled a little when they saw Kangxi's face suddenly sinking, and the voice of the imperial concubine who was smiling just now was a little trembling at the moment.

"emperor."

"Li Dequan, the imperial concubine doesn't know, so tell her." Kangxi instructed Li Dequan, and then picked up the teacup on the table and fiddled carelessly.

Li Dequan bent over and said back: "Last night, the Empress Dowager suffered from the wind and cold, and her whole body was hot, and she is still in a coma."

The imperial concubine's gaze was fixed on Li Dequan, and as soon as he finished speaking, a horrified expression appeared on her face, she turned her head to look at Kangxi who was sitting there expressionless, and fell to her knees with a "plop".

When she knelt, all the concubines standing in the hall knelt down.

"Your majesty forgive me, my concubine..." The imperial concubine was frightened and angry at the same time. The queen mother was ill, but she didn't even hear any news. It was really abnormal.

Hearing her hesitant words, Kangxi's face became even more gloomy, and he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground suddenly, angrily scolded: "You are a noble concubine who is easier than I am. You don't even know you're sick?"

This is a great crime.

The imperial concubine's eyes widened and she was absent-minded for a moment. She obviously did not expect that Kangxi would accuse her of such a serious crime. Her pale face was full of sadness, and she bent over and kowtowed heavily, "My concubine must not Dare to think this way, this matter is a concubine's dereliction of duty, and I ask the emperor to come down."

She buried her head on the ground, full of grievances and desolation, she really didn't know about the queen mother's illness, but the emperor refused to believe her and questioned her about it.

Kangxi stared at the imperial concubine kneeling on the ground for a moment: "The noble concubine Tong Jia disrespected the empress dowager and violated her duties as a concubine. I think she has served the palace for many years and made her meritorious service. I ordered her to be confined for half a month to copy the "Heart Sutra" a hundred times for the empress dowager."

After hearing Kangxi's will, the imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, then raised her head suddenly, unable to believe what she heard.

Not only her, none of the concubines kneeling on the ground thought that disrespecting the queen mother is a serious crime, but the emperor just raised it high and put it down gently.Looking at the emperor's furious look just now, they thought that the emperor might depose Tong Jia's imperial concubine?

After all, the imperial concubine has no favor at all now, and there is no elder brother princess under her name. Seriously speaking, she really can't bear the title of imperial concubine.

Seeing the imperial concubine, everyone took a deep breath, and received an order to express their gratitude: "My concubine, thank the emperor for his kindness."

Kangxi raised his hand and signaled everyone to get up.

When she stood up, the imperial concubine's legs were a little weak, and her nails were firmly pinched in the palm of her hand. Only the pain could wake her up.

This time, she was tricked.

Fortunately, the emperor only grounded her for half a month, and did not take much blame for it.

Otherwise, her position as imperial concubine would be at the end.

"Your Majesty, since the Empress Dowager is ill, it's better to let the concubine and several younger sisters go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to take turns serving the sick." As soon as the imperial concubine stood up, Concubine De took a step forward, her words full of worry.

When Kangxi heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he said, "You can arrange this matter."

"Yes, the concubine thinks, the queen mother doesn't like crowds, so the concubine and concubine Hui will take care of the queen mother, so as not to disturb the queen mother's peace." Concubine De's tone is very respectful, as if she is always respectful and decent But extraordinarily thoughtful.

Wang Miheng stood there, stunned for a few seconds.It seems that in this way, the imperial concubine was grounded, and the concubine Hui went to the Compassionate Palace to serve the sick, leaving behind the nobleman Yu and Zhi, who was born as a court lady.

After listening to Concubine De's words, Kangxi nodded, obviously thinking that Concubine De's suggestion was very good.

It can only be said that Concubine De has a thorough understanding of Kangxi's temperament.Otherwise, she wouldn't have transformed from a humble court lady to the current Concubine De step by step.

Wang Miheng was very close to Concubine Hui, she glanced at Concubine Hui standing there without a trace, although she had a smile on her face, but the handkerchief tightly squeezed in her hand revealed her inner dissatisfaction .

Thinking about it, it's not a good job to serve sickness, and it's serving the queen mother's sickness. To put it bluntly, you can't complain even if you are being used as a palace maid.Especially since the queen mother is still unconscious, the sick person has to stay by the bed all day long, and she must not be sloppy at all.

What's more, Concubine Hui has only been a concubine in the palace for many years, and she would not get any substantial benefits because of her meritorious service in serving the sick.In addition, just as the imperial concubine said, the Zhongcui Palace is very lively now, and she didn't know how many things happened when she came back after going there?

Therefore, for Concubine Hui, serving the sick is definitely a thankless job.

But no matter how reluctant she was in her heart, Concubine Hui still showed a decent smile, stood there blessing her body and said: "This concubine must serve the Queen Mother with all her heart."

Seeing Concubine Hui's reluctance but she had to show that being able to serve the Queen Mother was a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life, Wang Miheng firmly felt that it was not easy to be a woman in the palace, even if she became a concubine. In Kangxi's eyes, he was nothing more than a decent slave.

"Well, I can feel at ease when you and Concubine De go to the Palace of Compassion to Serve the Empress Dowager." Kangxi didn't feel that the atmosphere in the palace was particularly weird at all.

Kangxi sat for a while, then moved his car and left first.

As Kangxi approached, Wang Miheng raised his eyes subconsciously, and just met Kangxi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and there was only one thought in his heart: Sure enough, Kangxi came here specially to "trick".

She was a little skeptical, how could the queen mother be ill at this time.

Thinking about this, Wang Miheng glanced at the imperial concubine standing there again, and saw that her face was still pale, obviously frightened by what happened just now.

Nanny Gui winked, and a court lady stepped forward to help the imperial concubine sit on the soft couch, and the imperial concubine waved her hands and said coolly, "Okay, I'm a bit tired too, you guys Let's all go back to our respective palaces."

After hearing this, all the concubines glanced at the imperial concubine sitting on the soft couch, a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes.

Even being grounded by the emperor, what kind of airs is there for a noble concubine? Those who don't know think why the emperor rewarded her?
"Yes, the concubine is retiring." Everyone respectfully blessed Fu's body, stood up and retreated, leaving the imperial concubine sitting there with a blank expression on her face.

What happened today is really weird.

Although the Empress Dowager devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha and didn't like many people, the Empress Dowager's illness was a big deal. From last night to this morning, why didn't she hear a single movement?

There was a flash of hatred in the eyes of the imperial concubine, how could she not know that someone was behind this matter.But in the harem, she would not think of anyone other than Concubine De as the one who could do it in the harem.

What's more, the emperor only blamed her and didn't blame Concubine De who was in the harem at all, which meant that Concubine De knew about the Empress Dowager's illness early on.

Thinking of this, the hatred in her heart grew deeper.

Xia Zhi had just become Zhi's promise, and she might give up this pawn if she grounded her feet.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi's existence has created a rift between Concubine Hui and Yugui.However, the secret concubine could not be involved.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but frowned.

"Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to calm your shock." Nanny Gui poured a cup of tea and handed it to the imperial concubine, then comforted her: "It's because the Empress Dowager is ill, and it's possible for the emperor to lose his temper with his empress in a hurry. Anyway. The emperor always thinks about his relationship with the empress, but he only confines the empress for half a month, so that the empress can feel relieved."

The imperial concubine took the teacup and took a sip of it, and said bitterly: "This matter won't just end like this, if Concubine De dares to plot against me like this, I will definitely return it to her a hundred times in the future!"

Nanny Gui sighed indistinctly, if the empress could really beat Concubine De, she would not be crushed to death by Concubine De.

Not to mention anything else, when it comes to the matter of the emperor's heir, my mother has no confidence.Next to Concubine De, there are two elder brothers, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and her own mother has been in the palace for so many years, and she has not even been able to give birth to a princess for the emperor.

Not to mention, that master's scheming is extremely deep, if not for the emperor's favor, the empress would definitely not be a match for Concubine De.

After returning to Qixiang Palace, Wang Miheng smiled brightly, not because of anything else, but because he would not have to go to Chengqian Palace to greet the imperial concubine in the next half month.

In such a cold day, she has to go to Chengqian Palace every day. Now, she misses the days when she slept until she woke up naturally in confinement?

"My lady, what's the matter, so happy?" Qiumei poured a cup of warm tea for Wang Miheng and handed it to her, asking casually.

Sitting on the soft couch, Wang Miheng told Qiumei what happened just now with great interest.

"You don't know, the veil in Concubine Hui's hand is almost torn to pieces."

Before Qiumei could speak, she heard footsteps coming from outside, followed by a eunuch reporting: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li is here."

Surprise flashed in Wang Miheng's eyes, Li Dequan?But what kind of reward did Kangxi send him over?

What she didn't expect was that what he brought was Kangxi's order to accompany her to the Qianqing Palace.

Listening to Li Dequan's words, Wang Miheng suddenly remembered that she hadn't come to Qianqing Palace to thank her for the last reward?
