The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 304 Not Drunk
Qinrou reflexively glanced outside the hall. Kangxi must have come in from this door.

Aunt Chen, Fushun, Cangzi and Xiaoman reacted even more quickly, and all their eyes turned toward the outside of the palace, so as to welcome the emperor again. The servants in Zhenshunzhai were very familiar with the process.

But even if you are familiar with it, you should not take it lightly.

Since everyone was looking at Concubine Shu, Aunt Chen stood up instantly, with a smile on her lips, and said, "Concubine Shu, the Emperor is here."

The emperor hadn't come to see the concubine for more than ten days. As the saying goes, a meeting brings about a third of affection! If he couldn't see her, he might have forgotten her.

Grace is greater than heaven. They can't help but care.

Qin Rou was not too surprised, but rather a little shocked. It was the Fifth Prince's third-day bathing banquet, and she really didn't expect that Kangxi would come here.

However, this thought only flashed through Qin Rou's mind, and then was buried deep in her heart. It didn't matter why the emperor came.

The important thing is that the person has arrived, so she will welcome him. Having made up her mind, Qinrou immediately reached out her hand, and Xiaoman quickly reached out and helped Qinrou up. When they turned around, Li Dequan helped Kangxi into the hall.

Qin Rou took a few steps forward, her mind suddenly changing, and she went through a hundred and eighty detours. The young emperor Kangxi was at the peak of his energy, and he also paid special attention to his manners.

Normally, he would walk in by himself with the gait of a dragon or a tiger. Li Dequan would always follow behind him and wait on him. It was rare that he was supported by Li Dequan to enter the room.

But the moment she saw Kangxi's expression, Qin Rou understood everything. Manchus love wine, and Kangxi drank a lot at the banquet. The ministers toasted the emperor, and the emperor toasted the ministers. He drank a lot, and he was not an iron man.

How could there be no reaction at all? Before Qin Rou could even salute, Kangxi had already hugged her and put his head on her shoulder. Qin Rou was almost pushed back a few steps, and Li Dequan was also startled, so he quickly stepped forward and supported the emperor.

The emperor's body was precious, and the concubine's body was thin and frail, and it was obvious that she could not support the emperor's weight. If the concubine could not bear it, and the emperor and the concubine fell to the ground, the servants serving in the palace would be beaten with sticks and injured.

Not only Li Dequan was anxious, but Aunt Chen and Fushun were also anxious, and they hurried forward to support the two masters. Don't let them fall! With so many servants serving them, if the concubine and the emperor are not doing well, then they are derelict in their duty.

As a result, the servants and masters in the palace were all busy.

A faint smell of alcohol wafted through her nose. Kangxi had already washed up. Qinrou was speechless. After washing up, shouldn't this gentleman sleep well on his dragon bed? He actually came to Zhenshunzhai in the middle of the night.

Kangxi still had time to smile. Most of his strength was on Qinrou, who supported him. But he still had time to notice that his mouth accidentally touched Qinrou's ear while he was talking. He smiled and said, "Your strength is so weak! If you lean on it lightly, you won't be able to keep your balance. Don't worry, you won't fall."

Kangxi didn't think that leaning on them would cause both of them to fall.

As soon as he started to speak, the smell of alcohol became stronger. Qin Rou looked at Li Dequan, but she couldn't see him. Was Li Dequan carefully serving Kangxi?
But he didn't dare to say anything. It seemed that no one could help him. Qin Rou could only rely on herself and help Kangxi to the bed nearby.

Li Dequan, Aunt Chen and several other servants also hurried to help, naturally putting the emperor's affairs first.

Kangxi waved his hand and broke free from Li Dequan's support. Qin Rou's body trembled a bit, and then quickly stabilized.

Li Dequan did not dare to use too much force. As a servant, he was naturally extremely cautious when serving the emperor. But when he supported Kangxi, he also paid attention to the strength he used, so as not to be thrown away by Emperor Kangxi.

Li Dequan said repeatedly: "Your Majesty! My master, you have to be careful. If the emperor's body is damaged, all of us servants will die without hesitation. The concubine cannot escape either!" What's wrong with him supporting her? The concubine has such a small body and she has so much strength. Can she support the emperor?

Li Dequan complained in his heart, but did she dare to speak out? No!

Emperor Kangxi didn't know how much wine he had drunk. Qinrou could avoid it, but Emperor Kangxi couldn't. When the servants warmed the wine and poured it, they always filled it up. Today was still quite proper, not too bold.

In the past, we drank from big bowls! Today, we still drink from wine glasses, which are at least much smaller, but they still can't handle the large amount.

Qin Rou no longer counted on Kangxi, so she could only ask Li Dequan beside her: "Did the emperor drink the hangover soup? Don't let him have a headache later."

Qin Rou was very clear about the symptoms after drinking. This was the emperor, but the emperor was also a mortal. After drinking, his physical condition would be better at most, but he still had all the reactions he should have.

Before Li Dequan could reply, Kangxi had already spoken: "I'm not drunk." Manchus love wine and have a good tolerance for alcohol, some are born with it, and some are trained to do so. "This little bit of wine can't make me drunk."

However, the emperor also had to pretend to be a bit drunk. The idea that the emperor and his subjects were of one mind was just a lie. When he really became an emperor, he was lonely and alone.

Kangxi had to pretend to be somewhat drunk, otherwise some of his close ministers would find ways to persuade him to drink.

Emperor Kangxi said, "I just pretended to be a little drunk. Those court officials have their own thoughts." Drunk people don't have much logic, and Kangxi seemed to be affected a little bit, and immediately changed the topic to Babailiyu. "I saw the twins from Prince An's mansion today. Qinrou also gave birth to twins for me, okay?"

Kangxi seemed to be speaking seriously.

Qin Rou was speechless. Twins, boy and girl? Ha! Does Kangxi have that fate? Does he have that gene? Don't say she looked down on him. Can he give birth to them? Even if Kangxi is an emperor, he can't do it. He is dreaming. Just accept your fate!

She didn't want to have a baby either. Qin Rou didn't want to pay attention to him. In her eyes and heart, Emperor Kangxi was already close to being drunk.

But when Kangxi was not drunk, his execution ability was excellent; and after being drunk, it not only did not affect his execution ability at all, but it made him even more decisive and flamboyant.

Emperor Kangxi didn't need anyone's affirmation. He hugged Qin Rou tightly and touched her sensitive parts such as her neck. "Let's start with the matter of having twins..."

Qin Rou was caught off guard. The emperor took her to the bed with some force.

Li Dequan smiled awkwardly and lowered his head tactfully. The master's excitement was not something they, as servants, could watch. However, Qin Rou could not see his expression, so Li Dequan was a little bolder. He pretended not to notice anything and replied to Qin Rou's question: "The emperor has a large capacity for alcohol, so this little bit of wine will not do anything to the emperor. However, alcohol is something that will inevitably make the dragon body feel uncomfortable after entering the stomach."

Therefore, hangover soup is still necessary.

Li Dequan quickly got to the point and said, "I have already asked the kitchen to prepare a sobering soup, and it is being warmed up now!" He had no way of getting the emperor to drink it. The concubine had great magical powers, so why not coax the emperor and ask him to drink the sobering tea?

Li Dequan had great expectations.

While speaking, he did not forget to lower his head and look submissive like the other servants.

Qin Rou was even more speechless. She was a little bit indifferent to Kangxi's physical advances. She also understood the meaning behind Li Dequan's words and knew that Li Dequan was trying to shift the responsibility. But she could only accept it. She couldn't refuse it!
Qin Rou said with a coaxing tone, "Your Majesty, I just had a few drinks and my head hurts a bit. Your Majesty, can you accompany me to drink a cup of sobering soup?"
