Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

The Taiji Hall was brightly lit, and the banquet had just begun, when Wen Xi arrived, the hall was full of people, and it seemed that everyone had already arrived.Wen Xi's announcement to the Sixth Palace has always been set at the third quarter of the unitary hour, and now the scheduled time has passed.

Everyone saluted in turn, and Wen Xi asked them to sit down according to their status.

It's just that Kangxi never came. On such an occasion, it's no big deal for a venerable to be late. Wen Xi told Xiao Luzi, "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and see if the emperor is coming tonight." Such a big banquet is also needed by the emperor as usual show up.

Wen Xi's eyes swept over the concubines. Even nobles can participate today, so there are many more faces. Although they are familiar, many of Wen Xi can't name them.A nobleman, but one of the fifth rank and the last concubines, unlike the four concubines and six concubines who have a fixed number, which cannot be exceeded easily, and the nobleman can be canonized as much as he wants.

Wen Xi frowned suddenly after scanning the range of the sixth concubine's seats, and said, "Why hasn't Mrs. Wang come yet?"

Concubine Cheng stood up from the seat of the head of the concubines, and said: "Master and empress, before the banquet, the concubines have already sent people to each palace to invite them, and just now I saw that the secret concubine had not attended, so I have already sent people to invite people. It's just... ..." Although the Yonghe Palace of the secret concubine is a little far away from the Taiji Hall, it has been so long late... Concubine Cheng couldn't help feeling a little bit dissatisfied.

Sitting in the middle and back of the prince's seat area arranged according to title, the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen stood up, and said in a high-spirited tone: "The empress is sorry, my mother has been feeling unwell recently, so I asked my ministers to tell you."

"Tell me?!" Wen Xi savored these two words carefully, that is to say, the secret concubine just asked her son to inform Wen Xi that she would not come!

The smile on Wen Xi's face gradually turned cold, and she said to Concubine Cheng: "I haven't restrained my concubines for a long time, why are all of them so ignorant of the rules?" Wen Xi's tone was gentle, but it contained guilt mean.

Become a concubine.There was a disdainful smile on his face: "The mistress has always been kind, and it is inevitable that some concubines will become more and more impolite! The mistress told Liu Gong as early as this morning that if she was feeling unwell, she should have sent someone to apologize for the crime. Retire!" Concubine Cheng glanced across the face of the already angry Fourteenth Elder Brother, "You said yes, King Xun?!"

The fourteenth elder brother said with a proud face: "Emiang has indeed been unwell for a long time. It was only when the ministers went to pay their respects before the banquet that the condition suddenly worsened. If you are a concubine, why are you puzzled, you can ask Physician!"

Concubine Cheng couldn't bear it immediately. She has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she has the status of the first concubine under the empress. Has she ever been so disrespected by the juniors? !

Wen Xi said with a cold face: "My concubine looks really sick! Then you don't have to show up for any big banquets or new year's festivals in the future! Stay in the Yonghe Palace to recuperate well. There is no imperial decree from the palace or the emperor's decree. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Yonghe Palace!"

"Empress Empress!" The fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen couldn't hold back any longer.Hastily came out and said, "Emiang has no fault, why did the empress seal the palace?!" No one is allowed to visit, no one is allowed to enter or leave, what is the benefit of sealing the palace?

Wen Xi sneered, with a few cold sneers on the corners of her lips: "My palace is also for the good of my concubine. I have been ill for so long, not only did I not get better, but it got worse! Don't be suffering from tuberculosis. Coming out will not only make you sick The condition is getting worse. In case of infection, what should I do?!"

"Er Niang didn't suffer from tuberculosis, it was just an ordinary cold!" Yinzhen argued hastily and fiercely.

Wen Xi didn't change her face, and said slowly: "If it's windy and cold, how come you haven't seen him for so long?" Wen Xi originally thought that the secret concubine knew shame and didn't go out, but she didn't expect that today she wanted to give her, the queen, a bad blow!That being the case.If you don't want to go out, then never come out again!

"Empress Empress—" Yinzhen wanted to defend again, but Wen Xi immediately interrupted him in a cold voice: "Besides, since this palace is the middle palace, the affairs of the harem are naturally arbitrarily decided by this palace, and even the emperor will not interfere in my palace's management of the harem! Why fourteenth brother. Could it be that he is more lenient than the emperor?!"

"I——" Yinzhen blushed suddenly because of being forced, but Wen Xi's last sentence was something no one could refute!If you refute it, it is not only unfilial, but also has the heart of coveting the throne. Yinzhen's face gradually turned purple, "My son is just reporting the condition of my mother according to the facts. Please ask the empress to learn from her! At least call the imperial physician. ..”

"No need!" Wen Xi's tone was indifferent and condensed, "The matter of the harem, my palace's control method, you, a prince who has divided the mansion, really shouldn't ask! And you are disrespectful to the concubine today, Later disrespect to Bengong means that the secret concubine has been incapable of raising her son for many years! I didn't ask her about her crimes, but instead allowed her to rest in the palace, fourteenth brother, you should thank me!"

In front of so many concubines and princes and grandsons, Wen Xi didn't give the newly canonized prince any face, every sentence poked at the key point of the fourteenth elder brother's "disloyalty and unfilial piety", and beat him to death. Criticism in public is indiscriminate.The other princes looked at their fourteenth brother (fourteenth younger brother) jokingly, showing their eyes watching the show.

At this time, Yinyou was biting a piece of pastry in his mouth, squinting and said: "Brother Fourteen, my mother-in-law told you to thank you! Could it be that Brother Fourteen is hard of hearing?"

As soon as the words came out, more or less sneers appeared on the faces of everyone in the palace—except for Prince Yong, who had an iceberg face.

Yinzhen's face was completely gone, his face was purple and black and ugly, his fists under his sleeves were clenched, and he gritted his teeth almost word by word and said those few words: "Xie, Huang, Empress, mother, mother, grace!"

"Brother Fourteen is wrong!" Yinyou said with a smile on his face, "The Queen's Mother is not only the Queen's Mother of me, Sixteenth Brother, and Seventeenth Brother, but also the aunt of the prince I use, doesn't Fourteenth Brother think so? Or are you dissatisfied with Huang Ama's appointment of my mother-in-law as the middle palace?!"

If Wen Xi gets angry, his harsh words can make people speechless, and Yinzhu is Wen Xi's son, so naturally he is not bad in this respect!

Indeed, Wen Xi is the empress and the aunt of all the princes, no matter whether you are born of the empress or not, you must respectfully address her as "Emperor's Mother", otherwise you will be suspected of being unfilial.Since Wen Xi was established as the empress, except for Yinreng and Fourteenth Elder Brother, the other princes have changed their tunes, and they are always respectful and respectful when they meet each other, without losing any courtesy.Fourteenth elder brother's unruliness, it seems that he is three points better than the old prince!

At this moment, Yinzhen was blocked and had an ugly expression on his face.Wen Xi was indifferent to this, and her tone was not salty: "I don't have such a good fortune! Elder Brother Fourteen is only the son of a secret concubine. It's too late for me to be happy!" She just It's just the nominal aunt of the princes. You are willing to ask Wen Xi to listen, but you don't want to be called down.Especially for elder brother Xiang Fourteen, Wen Xi wished he would stop barking!Lest I feel uncomfortable listening to it.

Yinzhen bent over hastily, and said, "I dare not!" He naturally listened to the queen's words as irony.

Xiao Luzi also came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, and Ma Liu trotted to Wen Xi's side.Bowing his body, he said: "Mistress, the emperor suddenly felt unwell and said that he would not be coming today. Please host the celebration banquet, mistress."

Wen Xi hummed lightly, on such an occasion, if the secret concubine did not come, it would be considered disrespectful, Wen Xi would have a reason to punish her, and if Kangxi did not come, it would be justified.

Xiao Luzi added: "A few capitals from the Imperial Hospital are in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Wen Xi frowned, it seemed that Kangxi was really unwell.Unlike the secret concubine, it is definitely not pretending.Thinking of this, Wen Xi became more and more anxious, and said to the concubines: "This palace is too strong to drink, so go back to the palace first!"

"Respectfully send off the Empress (Emperor Empress)!" Wen Xi flung his sleeves away now, I'm afraid that everyone would think that the Empress was angered by King Xun.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, as Xiao Luzi said, there are several imperial physicians with the highest medical skills in the Imperial Hospital: Imperial Physician Gao, Imperial Physician Xu, Imperial Physician Qin and so on.They are all old doctors over half a century old.

Seeing Kangxi lying on the dragon bed in the bedroom, Wen Xi frowned deeply.His eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them, and his face was abnormally pale, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Kangxi slightly opened his eyes, his brows frowned in pain into a word "Chuan", "Old problem—"

When Kangxi said so, Wen Xi also understood.Cervical spondylosis is an inherent old problem of people who have been working hard all year round, which causes headaches caused by the compression of the cerebral blood vessels by the cervical spine.Wen Xi hurriedly took off the sharp armor on her hand, handed it to Zhu'er for safekeeping, and then sat sideways on the Kangxi dragon couch.Hands fell on his temples, slowly rotating and rubbing.

Kangxi took a long breath, which seemed to relieve some pain, "Why did you come here so soon?"

While rubbing, Wen Xi said: "It's just a celebration banquet, just let them enjoy themselves. Anyway, I don't have the heart to stay in the Tai Chi Hall anymore."

Kangxi suddenly held Wen Xi's hand, "I feel much better now that you are here."

Wen Xi's hand stopped slightly, and said: "I have been working hard all year round, the emperor should take a good rest."

Kangxi hummed lightly, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wen Xi softly and said, "Hurry up, these few months, I will always deal with the rest of these messy things." He took a deep breath In one breath, "What kind of fragrance do you have on your body? It smells so good."

Wen Xi smiled and said: "It's just the usual plum blossom fragrance." It's just the petals and pollen of the iron-bone red plum and green calyx plum in the space, blended with mint, borneol, agarwood and other spices, and used to diffuse the fragrance. Spices for clothes.The natural smell is particularly clear, and it is also effective in relieving pain.

Kangxi took two breaths, and said: "It smells Gaohua Qingyuan, it suits your temperament very well, I will use this incense from now on!"

With a soft smile, Wen Xi nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Dequan took the opportunity to bring up the soup and preserves. Although Kangxi was not afraid of suffering, he frowned slightly as he looked at the black concoction. Kangxi was not a person who shunned diseases and avoided medicine. Even though he knew that the medicine was very bitter, he still frowned. Drink slowly.Kangxi ruled the world for sixty years and never bowed his head to anyone, but now he was suffering from illness and had to succumb to the bitter medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.

Wen Xi smiled and ordered: "Li Dequan, go make a glass of honey water."

Li Dequan bent down and said, "I've been preparing it for a long time!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup containing honey water from the red sandalwood tray held by the eunuch Xiao Tang behind him, and handed it to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi lifted the lid of the cup, peeked into it with her little finger, poured in a small stream of spiritual spring water, and handed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi's stomach was disturbed by the bitterness of the medicine juice, so he drank the honey water in big gulps, and after three or two gulps, he found the bottom line, and said: "Today's honey water is very sweet!"

Wen Xi pursed her lips and said: "It's the emperor who is so bitter. Only when the bitterness is in your mouth, you will feel that the taste is extraordinarily good when you drink sweet things!"

Kangxi chuckled and said, "This can be called the end of suffering!"

It can also be said to be having fun while suffering, Wen Xi secretly said in her heart. (To be continued..)
