The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 60
The next day.

Yonghe Palace.

Ningde came back in a chariot, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Liuli and Feicui smiling, and they both knelt down at the door: "Congratulations, master, congratulations, master!"

Ning De nodded and smiled: "Get up, I didn't expect you to know so soon."

Liuli stood up first, and smiled: "The master is happy, who in this harem doesn't know about such a big event? It's a big festival, and it's a good time for the slaves to say that this little elder brother has come. Our Yonghe Palace It's time to have a good time!"

Ning De's face turned cold for no reason when he heard this, Fei Cui walked over, secretly took Liu Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Master, it's because the slaves are too ostentatious, right?"

Ningde glanced at her with a smile, and said lightly, "Follow me in and talk."

Walking into the inner hall, Ningde glanced sideways at a few more scrolls wrapped with red ribbons on the table, walked over to take a look, and opened a pair of "Autumn Mountain Asking Map" by Juran from the Five Dynasties period. He was a painter and monk in the Five Dynasties and Southern Tang Dynasty in China. He was especially good at painting the misty and misty weather in the south of the Yangtze River and the "light ink and light mist" scenery of high mountains and rivers.This "Ask Mountain in Autumn Mountain" is a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation. Although I like calligraphy and painting, it is not as precious as this painting after counting the previous collection for many years and the emperor's reward after entering the palace.So I immediately opened several other paintings: Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling"... There are five masterpieces in total, and all of them are invaluable masterpieces.

Ning De was secretly suspicious, who made such a big hand, and asked sharply, "Where did this come from?"

Liu Li and Fei Cuiyuan saw that Ning De was still talking and laughing, and their brows and eyes were filled with joy, but when they suddenly saw her change color, they were puzzled for a while, so they had to reply first: "I just want to go back to the master, this is Concubine Rong last night. I just sent it here, saying it is to thank you, master, for saving San Gege last night, and to wish you New Year’s greetings, and to congratulate the master on being pregnant with the gift of a dragon seed, as her older sister."

Seeing that Ningde's expression was still unkind, Fei Cui boldly asked, "Master, why is there something wrong with this gift?"

Ningde sighed: "Her father is Yuanwailang, not even as good as my family. How could she be able to produce such a big deal. Just the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Gongwang, let alone ordinary people Common people, even an official like me would have to go without food or drink for hundreds of years to barely buy it. This matter will never be so simple."

Liuli heard Ningde's words, and panicked: "What can I do? What can I do? It's all because I don't know the goods, or I will return the painting right now?"

Ningde smiled: "It's not your fault. If she dares to send it, I won't dare to accept it? When the emperor comes, I will forward this painting to the emperor and explain the reason. You give the painting like a snake Going back, firstly, it was unattractive to Sister Rong and I, it seemed that we were stingy and didn't know how to flatter us; secondly, it caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone knew about it, so it's time to spread something bad. "

She paced a few steps in thought, sighed softly: "Conceived in October, and now it's only the beginning of January, there have been so many disturbances, thinking about Concubine Rong, I'm really afraid of the next nine months now. "

Jade nodded worriedly: "Amitabha, master, you are such a good person, the Buddha will also bless you to give birth to your little brother safely."

Ningde burst out laughing: "I haven't even seen a shadow here, so you're called by the little elder brother. If it's Ge Ge, I'll see what you say."

Liuli shook her head desperately: "Master, Sister Fei Cui and I offer incense to the Buddha every day, and beg him to let you give birth to a little elder brother."

Ningde touched his belly that was not yet bulged, as if he was feeling the little life in his belly, and said softly: "Whether it's a man or a woman, I just hope that I can give birth to a healthy baby safely." The child will be fine."

Fei Cui responded: "Master, let your servants say that after such a thrilling accident last night, both mother and child are safe. It can be seen that there must be Buddha's protection."

Ningde sneered: "Is it predestined? I don't think so. How could Concubine Jing fall down for no reason? Someone must be watching her and waiting for an opportunity to make trouble. I happened to run into it. Fortunately, at that time No one knows that I'm pregnant, otherwise she will be more ruthless and don't know what will happen?"

Liu Li exclaimed in surprise: "Master, do you mean that someone pushed Concubine Jing? Who could be so bad?"

Ningde smiled: "I don't know about that." He suddenly changed his tone and said coldly: "Don't bother with the disputes outside, it's just one thing, our own Yonghe Palace, you and Fei Cui must be firmly Show it to me, and if you put any unclean things in, even you and I will be impolite!"

Liuli and Feicui were silent like cicadas, and said in unison: "Cha!"
