Queen Xiaoxi

Seeing that it was getting late, Kangxi whispered a few words gently to Wanxian and said: "If you feel comfortable, go to the house outside and have a look. I asked Liang Jiugong to tidy up the Buddhist hall outside. You can do it yourself." Let’s take a look and see if there is anything that still needs to be rectified. Just let others do it. It’s getting late and I really need to go to court.”

"Okay, I understand. Long live my lord, go and do your work." Although Wanxian was a little reluctant to leave Kangxi, she was concerned about the busy government affairs and no longer wanted to retain Kangxi.

Kangxi patted Wanxian's little hand and walked outside.

Outside the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, the Bu concubines had already got off the chariot sedan with the help of Ji Heping. The little eunuch in front of the palace courtyard quickly said hello. Bu Bin also learned from the little eunuch's reminder that Kangxi had not gone out yet. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only wait outside the palace gate quietly.

Kangxi took Liang Jiugong out of the palace gate, and along the way he saw Bu Bin standing with low eyebrows and obedient eyes.

The Bu concubine quickly saluted Kangxi and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Lord Long Live. May the Lord live forever."

"Get up. Are you here to visit Concubine Shu?" Kangxi called.

"That's right, Lord Long Live. I originally wanted to come to visit yesterday, but I just thought that Concubine Shu was not feeling well yesterday and had no time to receive her. Therefore, I postponed the visit to today." Bu Bin spoke respectfully and answered every word according to the rules. .

Kangxi nodded and said: "If you are interested, go in. Concubine Shu has just woken up, and she is still leaning on the kang. You came early. Let's have breakfast with Concubine Shu."

"Hey, I thank you, Lord Long Live, for your kindness." Bu Bin quickly saluted and thanked her.

Bu Bi was not favored, and she had felt sour because Wan Xian was favored earlier. But since I got the concubine position, my heart has become inexplicably calm. Since he was not favored in the first place, seeing that Wanxian, who was close to him, was favoring her more, he actually enjoyed it. Now when I look at Kangxi, I don't think he is a king and husband anymore, but he looks like a son-in-law who is dissatisfied with his old age.

Kangxi didn't say anything more, but went straight into the dragon chariot and rushed to Wanhe Songfeng ahead.

The Bu concubine bowed respectfully and sent the dragon chariot away. Then she stood up and was supported by Ji Heping and walked inside.

As soon as Wei Zhu, who was on duty in front of the palace, saw Bu's concubine, she hurriedly smiled and came forward to greet her, saying, "I would like to pay my respects to Bu's concubine. I wish you good luck."

"Eunuch Wei, please get up quickly. Where is Concubine Shu?" Bu Bin waved her hand and said politely.

"Replying to Empress Bu Bin, Empress Shu is washing up in the Nuan Pavilion. If I see Empress Bu Bin, you will definitely be happy. I would like to invite you." Wei Zhu knew Bu Bin's position in Wanxian's heart, so he was extremely polite.

Bu Bin was extremely satisfied when she heard the politeness and respect in Wei Zhu's words. Now that I have both status and the respect of my father-in-law, my life is much better than before. As long as I can see more of my daughter, who was born in ten months of pregnancy, there is nothing to be satisfied with.

With Bu Bin thinking like this, Wei Zhu was introduced to Yanbo Zhishuang Palace.

When she stepped into the gate of Xinuang Pavilion, Bu Bi took one look and couldn't help being surprised. Even if the concubine is not favored, she naturally has her own source of information for following her this time. Everyone in this summer resort knows that there is a Buddhist hall in the Xinuang Pavilion of Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, which enshrines Buddha statues donated by various Mongolian ministries. Going in from the Buddhist hall is where the Long Live Lord rests. But now this place is not a Buddhist hall, it is clearly an exclusive guest room for concubines.

Although Bu Bin was confused in her heart, she saluted the Buddha statue that was still enshrined in the same place and said: "Is this the Buddha statue that the living Buddha of Mongolia donated to the Long Live Lord? Although I have never been here, I can't Do you know this place is a Buddhist temple, but what is it like now?"

"Replying to Empress Bubin, it was indeed a Buddhist hall originally. However, according to Lord Long Live's orders, she was afraid that the empress would feel occlusion while living there. Therefore, it was specially set aside as the empress's living room." Wei Zhu quickly explained.

"So that's it." Bu Bin understood the reason and walked inside without asking any more questions.

Wei Zhu hurriedly approached the door and reported back: "Empress Qi, Empress Bubin has come to visit you."

Basically, as soon as she finished speaking, Wanxian's urgent voice came from inside, saying: "Please come in quickly, Sister Bubin."

Hearing this, Wei Zhu quickly opened the small door and respectfully invited Bu Bin to enter.

Ji Heping Zhili stood guard in front of the door, and Bu Bin's personal palace maid Qinglu followed Bu Bin into the inner room carrying a food box.

As soon as Bu Bin walked into the inner room, the fragrance of lotus hit her face. I saw a large vase with lotus flowers and leaves on the large table in front of me.

Before she could take a closer look, she heard Wanxian's affectionate shouting: "Sister Bu Bin, you are here. Come and sit down." As Wanxian said this, she wanted to lift the thin quilt covering her body. Go down to the Kang to welcome the concubines. Bu Bin hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "You don't have to be so polite. We don't need these courtesy between us. Just lie down." As Bu Bin said this, she sat down beside Wanxian's Kang.

Wanxian couldn't refuse, so she quickly said: "Then Wanxian won't be polite."

"What on earth is going on? Why are you so sick when you are fine? Are you still feverish now? What did the imperial doctor say?" As soon as Bu Bin sat down, she took Wanxian's hand and eagerly said a series of The question popped out of my mouth.

Wanxian was a little embarrassed to answer. Qiaoguo quickly brought the tea cup to Bu Bin and explained respectfully: "Replying to Bu Bin, the empress was unconscious when the imperial doctor came yesterday. It was the servant who accompanied the empress to see the doctor. Bu Bin, your Majesty, you Have a cup of tea, and I will tell you everything one by one."

"Well, you have always been careful, so let me tell you." Bu Bin also knew Wanxian's temperament, so she followed Qiaoguo's words, took the teacup, and ordered.

"Hey. Yesterday morning, I felt unwell as soon as I got up, but I thought it was because I was playing too much with Princess. But at noon, I fell to the ground with a somersault. Only then did I realize that The empress' body felt a little feverish, so Long Live Master quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician. The imperial physician checked her pulse and said it was due to fatigue, overwork, and a deficiency of Qi caused by acclimatization. Ten of them were relayed to Bu Bin.

Bu Bin listened to Qiaoguo's words and looked at Wanxian carefully. Seeing the bruises on Wanxian's forehead, she nodded and said: "So that's it. No wonder you have some bruises on your forehead. Why can't you believe it? If you feel unwell, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. Some diseases But we can't delay it." Bu Bin's words were all words of advice to Wanxian.

Wanxian felt a little embarrassed and smiled at Bu Bin.

Seeing this, Bu Bin looked around at Nai Niang Gu, Qiao Guo, Yun Xia, etc. who were serving in the room, and said dissatisfiedly: "You slaves are the same. Even if the empress is young and ignorant, you slaves should always pay attention to her. Always comforting."

Nurse Gu and the other three quickly lowered their heads and accepted the criticism humbly.

"Especially Nanny Gu, you are Concubine Shu's nanny, so you should always pay attention to Concubine Shu's body." Bu Bin pointed at Nanny Gu and accused her dissatisfiedly.

Listening to Bu Bin's accusation, Wan Xian felt a little guilty. She quickly took Bu Bin's hand and said, "It's none of their business. In fact, I got up late last night, and I only thought it was because I slept too much because I had a headache. 's sake."

Following Wanxian's words, Bu Bin walked up the stairs and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet. I specially prepared a cup of bird's nest stewed with lotus seeds, which is best for replenishing the mind and replenishing blood. You can use it." Bu Bin said to him Qinglu waved the handkerchief in her hand.

Qinglu, who was carrying the food box, hurried forward, opened the food box and took out a soup cup and placed it on the Kang table.

Seeing the soup cup, Wanxian quickly thanked Bu Bin and said, "Thank you, Sister Bu Bin."

"You're welcome. I remember that you always like to eat lotus seeds, so I thought of this bird's nest stewed with lotus seeds. You should use more nourishing foods now." Bu Bin said with a concerned look.

Wanxian took the porcelain spoon specially presented by Qinglu, nodded, and asked Bu Bin, "Can Sister Bu Bin use breakfast? There is breakfast prepared in the small kitchen, why don't Sister Bu Bin use some too?" "

"That's fine, it will be a long time before the long live Lord returns to court. I have nothing to do now." Bu Bin agreed.

Qiaoguo quickly replied: "The servant will go down and prepare immediately, and bring the concubine's soup and medicine." Qiaoguo said and winked at Yunxia.

Yunxia understood and hurried out of the house with Qiaoguo.

Bu Bin reminded Wanxian: "Now is the best time to take this bird's nest stewed with lotus seeds. You should use some first."

"Okay." Wanxian quickly took a spoonful and fed it into her mouth.

After taking several sips, Wanxian suddenly asked: "Long live the previous one, I said that Princess Duanjing and her party will arrive almost today, but I don't know where they are now?"

"Yes. But take your time. You and I have been waiting for so long and there is no need to hurry up." Mentioning her daughter, Bu Bin had a smile on her face.
