The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 205

When Yinzhen heard that Kangxi ordered the imperial doctor Liu Shengfang to go to the beekeeping lane to treat Yinxiang's leg disease, and moved Yinxiang out of the beekeeping lane, and imprisoned him in the better environment of Chongjingxuan, so that the imperial doctor Liu Shengfang could heal his leg disease , Yinzhen was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears.

Yinzhen was puzzled, obviously in Qianqing Palace yesterday, when Huang Ama heard that he was pleading for Yinxiang, he was furious on the spot, and unceremoniously taught him a lesson.Why did Huang Ama's attitude towards Yinxiang change so dramatically in just one day?

Yinzhen is puzzled, although he still hasn't figured out why Kangxi suddenly changed his mind, but he is absolutely sure that the person who has the ability to change Kangxi's attitude towards Yinxiang is definitely not himself.

The festive time passed faster than usual, and it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.This year's Lantern Festival is extraordinarily lively because of Kangxi's intention to celebrate with great fanfare.

Although the first day of the Lantern Festival is the 24th day of the first lunar month, the [-]th day and the two days before and after are the climax of the Lantern Festival celebration.According to the rules of the Qing Palace, in addition to the sky lanterns and longevity lanterns set up in front of the Qianqing Palace on December [-], and the lights on the two corridors and stone railings on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the Qing Palace also needs to be lit on the eleventh and fourteenth of the first lunar month. On the [-]th, [-]th, and so on, the lights are all lit up until the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, there are exquisite ice lanterns in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, and various flowers, birds, animals, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are carefully carved, with various types and exquisite craftsmanship, very crystal clear, exquisite and lovely.All the concubines and princes in the palace found that there are all kinds of lifelike dragon and phoenix lanterns in different poses among the ice lanterns in the palace this year, and the number exceeds that of this year's zodiac.

Everyone couldn't help but think of the twins of the dragon and the phoenix, who were much loved by Kangxi. Elder brother Yinxi and the twelve princesses, Yue Ning, were born in the Year of the Dragon in Renchen. The many ice lanterns in the image of dragons and phoenixes must be gifts specially prepared by the emperor for the 21st elder brother and the 21th princess.When everyone thinks of this, some people are envious, some are jealous, and some just want to be alone and clean up the door, and just laugh at other people's comments.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Kangxi held a family banquet in the Qianqing Palace for all concubines, princes and clan relatives.

Since today is the Lantern Festival, there must be a variety of Lantern Festivals on the banquet. There are snow-white and lovely doughs, tender yellow and delicate, emerald green, and pink festive ones; Red bean paste, hawthorn, peanut, pumpkin, sweet-scented osmanthus, and sesame; the soft and glutinous Lantern Festival is served with thick soup, full of fragrance, good color and taste, and everyone can't help but twitch their index fingers and eat it.Even Kangxi, who has always been averse to sweets, ate a lot of Lantern Festival filled with five kernels and sesame seeds in order to celebrate the festival and take the good intention of a happy reunion.

Ever since she was pregnant with her second child, Nian Xilan discovered that she has become more and more fond of sweets that are sweet but not greasy, and have a timeless fragrance.Now looking at the colorful, soft and sweet Lantern Festival in the bowl, Nian Xilan couldn't help but twitch her index finger. She had a good appetite and tasted two of each filling, and drank two small bowls of longan and red date soup , I still feel that I have not eaten enough, and I still have more to say.

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan's clear and bright starry eyes, obviously thinking about what kind of stuffed Yuanxiao to eat later, he couldn't help dissuading him worriedly: "Although Yuanxiao is delicious, it is made of glutinous rice. Grain, eating too much may easily cause stomach discomfort. I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some delicate porridge that is easy to digest and rich in nutrients. Laner has used a lot of Yuanxiao today. If you feel that you are not full, wait a while Then use some fine porridge, but this Yuanxiao, Lan'er must not enter again tonight!"

Nian Xilan had just decided to eat two more sweet but not greasy jujube-filled Yuanxiao. At this time, she heard Kangxi's dissuasion, and her face was obviously disappointed.

Nian Xilan was about to ask Kangxi to allow her to use two more Lantern Festivals, when she heard a mellow and soft voice and said slowly: "The emperor really loves the imperial concubine! How many Lanterns did the imperial concubine spend? It's really shocking." All the sisters in the harem are envious!"

Nian Xilan was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look, and saw that Hepin was elegantly wiping the corners of her mouth with a lotus root pink brocade handkerchief, her slender eyes were full of a faint smile, although her eyes were so sincere that there was no trace of sarcasm, but The inexplicable sense of hostility makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The concubine stared at Nian Xilan's slightly stupefied gaze, then continued to cover her mouth with a small smile and said, "The imperial concubine is naturally beautiful and blessed. , with a slender waist that is not full of grip, makes all the sisters and sisters in the harem far behind. Although she is pregnant now, she is still slender and radiant. If it is not for the high bulge of the abdomen, it is impossible to see that the imperial concubine is pregnant; I heard Not only did the imperial concubine not have any morning sickness, but her appetite was much better than usual, which made my sister very envious! Unlike when my concubine was pregnant, not only did she have severe morning sickness, she couldn't sleep at night, but she also had a bad appetite. After a few months, I have lost all appearance due to tossing and thin, and my face is so haggard that it can't even compare to a little fingertip of a noble concubine!"

He concubine's eyes darkened when he said this, and he lowered his eyes and sighed sadly: "Not only is my concubine's life poor, it is not as blessed as the imperial concubine's empress, even the little Gege born of my concubine's life is as thin as paper, there is no such thing as a concubine. Compared with the twelve princesses born by the imperial concubine..."

When Nian Xilan heard this, she already saw that the concubine's mention of the pain of pregnancy and the early death of Xiao Gege at this time was nothing more than to arouse Kangxi's pity from the bottom of her heart and win Kangxi's favor again.Nian Xilan frowned, looking at the goose-yellow flag dress on Hebi, which was very similar to the color she was wearing, and then thinking of what Hebi had meant just now, she couldn't help but think a little more.
