Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 85

It should be a good thing for a concubine to be pregnant, but these days, seeing the emperor's indifferent attitude towards Yugui, everyone secretly guessed that this good thing might turn into a bad thing.

Otherwise, why would the emperor not even take a look at Yugui's fetal gas? Even since she became pregnant, the emperor has not even rewarded her once.

It was obvious that even if the emperor didn't dislike the child in her womb, at least he didn't value it that much.

In this way, wouldn't this good thing become a bad thing?

If you are pregnant, you can't go to bed, and the child in your womb is not valued by the emperor.After the hardships of pregnancy in October, who still remembers that there is a noble person in this palace?
No, Mrs. Yugui just got pregnant here, and the emperor stayed in her Qixiang Palace for seven or eight days. I heard that Mrs. Yugui's pregnancy was aroused because of this, but even so, she was stunned. Failed to invite the emperor to his palace.

Speaking of it, the secret concubine is capable, how long has it been since she entered the palace, now that the emperor has an heir, the position has been given, and even the favor of the emperor has not been lost.

When everyone was anxious about the special favor of the secret concubine, Kangxi finally turned over the signboard of the Yonghe Palace. This news finally made the concubines of the sixth palace heave a sigh of relief.

As soon as Kangxi's Luanjia arrived at the gate of Yonghe Palace, Concubine De had already greeted her, blessed her body, and said respectfully: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"Get up." Kangxi gave her a little support, motioning her to get up: "Don't come out in such a cold day, what should I do if I'm freezing?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine De stood up with a smile, followed Kangxi into the hall, and soon a court lady came up with a cup of tea.

Concubine De took it, and walked slowly to Kangxi.

Kangxi took a sip of the teacup she handed over, and immediately said, "I'm sorry for the empress dowager."

Hearing this, Concubine De's eyes flashed with strangeness, she quickly covered it up, Fu Liaofu said obediently: "It is the duty of a concubine to honor the Empress Dowager."

Others don't know that she can't. The queen mother is not sick, but she is just pretending.Otherwise, how could such a serious illness be cured in just two days.It's just that the emperor said that the queen mother is sick, so who dares to say that the queen mother is not sick? Didn't the imperial physicians guarding the Palace of Compassion and Peace say that the queen mother has an occasional cold and needs to be recuperated?

So, upon hearing Kangxi's words, Concubine De immediately felt a little strange, but it didn't show on her face.

Kangxi glanced at her, raised his hand to signal her to get up, but changed the topic: "Although the matter of the harem is important, you have to take care of your own body, so don't get exhausted."

Hearing Kangxi's words, the smile on Concubine De's face froze slightly, and then she replied with a smile: "Yes, my concubine, thank you for your concern." After saying this, she continued.

"The emperor said so, and the concubine also happened to have something to discuss with the emperor."

"Speak." Kangxi raised his eyes and ordered.

"Now that the imperial concubine is still under confinement, the concubine is not able to deal with the affairs of the harem alone. Besides, Yinzhen is still young and cannot do without the concubine, so the concubine thinks that it would be great if someone can share the burden for the concubine. My concubine has thought about this matter for a long time, but I just don't know how to tell the emperor." Concubine De said gently but respectfully.

"Is there any candidate for Concubine Concubine?" Kangxi was very satisfied when he heard Concubine De's words, and the outspoken title naturally became much more intimate.

"The concubine feels that the concubine Mi is smart and steady, so she is reassuring when she handles things. Furthermore, the concubine heard that the concubine rarely goes anywhere other than her own palace since she entered the palace. I'm afraid it's boring to be in my own palace, so why not share some harem affairs for the concubines, and relieve the emperor's worries." Concubine De said sincerely.

"Well, if that's the case, let's follow Aifei's wishes." After listening to Concubine De's words, Kangxi thought for a few seconds before readily agreeing.

Seeing the expression on Kangxi's face, Concubine De couldn't help but feel a little bit aggrieved.However, she knew better that no matter how noble she was, it was given by the emperor, and since the emperor could give it, he could also take it back.

The emperor valued the secret concubine, so she could only promote the secret concubine along with her. Isn't what she did all these years to make the emperor feel that no matter what time, she is the one who can understand his mind best?
There is no reason to ruin everything she has worked so hard for because of a secret concubine.

After having dinner with Kangxi and talking for a while, the two settled down.

In the early morning of the next day, after sending Kangxi away to go to court, the maid Chunxian came in, and seeing the blue eyes of Concubine De, she knew that her mother must have not slept well last night.

"If your lady is tired, you might as well lie down for a while." Chunxian walked up and couldn't help persuading her.

The expression on Concubine De's face was very calm, without raising her head, she just said: "How can I fall asleep? You can go to Qixiang Palace in a while and say that I have something to discuss with my concubine."

After hearing this, Chunxian nodded, but she still couldn't help asking: "My lady, why..."

Concubine De was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty values ​​the secret concubine, so I naturally have to lift her up. To lift her up is to lift me up."

Chunxian responded with a vague understanding, but she didn't understand what her mother meant by her words, and how she wanted to praise that master?

However, although she was puzzled, she couldn't keep asking.

It has to be said that Concubine De is different from many concubines in the palace in this regard. She is a very assertive person and will never be influenced by the servants around her.Otherwise, over the years, the Yonghe Palace would not have lost even a good-mouthed nun.

Seeing that her mother didn't intend to continue to rest, Chun Xian helped Concubine De to change her clothes and wash up. After everything was tidied up, breakfast happened to be served on the table.

A bowl of lily and lotus seed soup, two dishes of side dishes, and a dish of delicate desserts.

"Forget it, take it, I have no appetite." Concubine De looked at the meal on the table and waved her hands, obviously not in the mood.

"Yes." Chunxian winked, and someone immediately took the things off the table.

She thought in her heart, did the emperor say something last night, otherwise, why would the empress not even be able to eat.

However, the emperor didn't see anything wrong when he left this morning.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that she was thinking too much.

Wang Miheng had just finished his breakfast, when the eunuch who passed on the news said that Miss Chunxian, the maid next to Concubine De, had arrived.

When he heard this, Wang Miheng was surprised and even more puzzled.

Kangxi only turned over De Concubine's sign last night, and she sent someone to look for her this morning, could it be that she wanted to show off in front of her?

As soon as this idea changed, Wang Miheng immediately denied it.The Concubine De who she knew well would naturally not be able to do such a substandard thing.

But if it wasn't for showing off, she wouldn't be able to guess what she and she would have to discuss.

Until she walked into the gate of Yonghe Palace, she still didn't understand this question at all.

When Wang Miheng entered, Concubine De was sitting on the soft couch with a book in her hand, when she saw her coming in, the corners of her mouth smiled a bit.

Wang Miheng stepped forward slowly, Fu Liaofu said softly, "My concubine pays her respects."

Seriously speaking, this is the first time she greeted Concubine De so solemnly.In the past, there were either Kangxi or the imperial concubine present, so naturally it was not the concubine De's turn to receive this gift.

Tsk tsk, she didn't feel that her status was low before, but now she does, Wang Miheng thought to herself.

"Get up quickly, my sister doesn't need to be polite." Concubine De winked at the maid next to her, and the maid moved over.

Seeing this scene, Wang Miheng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, saying that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. She has been in the palace for so long, and she has never seen Concubine De be so attentive!

"Sit down. There are many things in the harem. My sister has been in the palace for so long and I haven't been able to invite my sister to sit in the palace. It's my fault."

Wang Miheng is now full of puzzles, but he can only bless his body and say: "Thank you, Madam."

Then he sat down.

Concubine De saw that Wang Miheng knew the rules so well, she was relieved and at the same time had new worries.

The secret concubine's temperament has always been docile and not quarrelsome, but is there really anyone in this palace who is not quarrelsome?Maybe it was Cheng Fushen who didn't show his thoughts.

Think about it carefully, this secret concubine can change from a small nobleman to the current head of the first palace by herself, give birth to the emperor's heir, and let the emperor value him so much, there may not be such a person at all. scheming?

The more Concubine De concubine thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

It was obvious that the secret concubine would become her opponent in the future, but at this moment, she had to let her help with the harem affairs.

It is her ability to speak out through the mouth of the emperor!

Sitting there, Wang Miheng didn't hear Concubine De's words for a long time, and felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

She subconsciously felt that what Concubine De would say next must be quite shocking.

It's just that she didn't expect it to be so shocking.

"... I thought, it's better to let my younger sister take care of me for a few days, firstly, I can share some burden for my younger sister, and secondly, my younger sister won't be so boring." Concubine De opened her mouth slowly, and said gently.

Wang Miheng's complexion changed, obviously frightened by what Concubine De said. She has been in the palace for so long, although she has been promoted to the throne, and she has also won Kangxi's favor, but God testifies, she really never thought about it. To intervene in the affairs of the harem.

Is she crazy, she just puts away her leisurely life but thinks about doing those thankless things?

There is no salary to get a lot of bad things, and you are always taking risks. If you do well, it is your duty. If you do not do well, you will be dereliction of duty. What she can get is the envy, jealousy and hatred of Liugong. She only does such things when she is full and feels that she is too free.

Seeing the reluctance that could not be concealed on Wang Miheng's face, Concubine De was startled, could it be that she didn't know about this?
As soon as this thought changed, Concubine De's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Co-authored, the emperor dotes on the secret concubine like that, is it really for this reason?
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that she had been in the palace for so many years, and she had never seen the emperor pay such attention to any woman.

This kind of favor reminded her of the deep affection the late emperor had for Concubine Dong E.

Concubine De looked at Wang Miheng who was sitting there with a smile on her face, but there was a hint of cruelty in her eyes.
