The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 86

In the early morning of the next day, Kangxi issued a decree to demote Concubine Tong to concubine on the grounds that she was jealous and murdered the emperor's heir. Concubine Yi and Concubine Yi are in charge of the harem together.

As soon as this matter came out, the palace was in an uproar.Gradually, some rumors began to circulate in the harem, saying that the emperor actually didn't care much about Concubine Xi and the dragon fetus in her womb.Otherwise, how could concubine Tong be demoted and allowed to continue living in Jingren Palace.It wasn't until people in the palace gradually discovered that Tong Bin stayed behind closed doors all day long, was a vegetarian, worshiped Buddha, and meditated on his own past in Jingren Palace all day long, and gradually understood Kangxi's thoughts.

And all the palace people who served in Jingren Palace before were all severely interrogated by the emperor in the Punishment Department. Not only were they severely punished, but many even lost their lives.The very few palace people who were lucky enough to save their lives were rough envoys and maidservants serving in Jingren Palace. Because they were not trusted by Concubine Tong, they did not follow Concubine Tong to Yikun Palace to murder Concubine Xi that day.It is said that Qiao Xin, the close servant who served Concubine Tong, was the most miserable, locked in the darkest cell in the Punishment Department, and now no one knows whether she is dead or alive.

Seeing this situation, everyone finally gradually understood Kangxi's favor and importance for Nian Xilan's mother and son.At this point, the rumors in the palace that were not good for Nian Xilan gradually disappeared, and no one dared to mention them anymore.Not long after, when they learned that Nian Xilan was pregnant with twins, and they were the two little princesses, they all stopped thinking about Nian Xilan and the fetus in her womb.

The concubines in the palace couldn't help but feel that since Imperial Doctor Liu, who was skilled in medicine, diagnosed that Concubine Xi was not only carrying twins, but also two little princesses, it didn't matter if Concubine Xi gave birth to a child.It's just two little princesses, and they're either little elder brothers or the emperor pampers them to heaven, so what can they do?At most, there is no need to make peace with Mongolia, and find a son of an important minister, Xu, to stay in the capital.

In fact, Liu Shengfang has already diagnosed that Nian Xilan is pregnant with twins, but he has not confirmed whether the child in her womb is Little Elder Brother or Little Gege.The reason why Kangxi deliberately ordered people to spread the rumor that Nian Xilan had two little princesses was just to reduce the jealousy and wariness of other concubines towards Nian Xilan, so as to better protect Nian Xilan.

Although Fang Wan and the others tried their best to conceal these rumors, Nian Xilan, who stayed in Yikun Palace to recuperate her injuries, did not even hear a word.However, every time Kangxi sees Nian Xilan's clear eyes looking at him affectionately, he feels inexplicable guilt in his heart.

Therefore, after Nian Xilan recovered from the injuries on her cheeks and body, Kangxi chose a sunny day to surprise Nian Xilan.

Since Kangxi did not reveal anything to Nian Xilan in advance, when Li Dequan came to Yikun Palace to deliver Kangxi's oral instructions and asked Nian Xilan to accompany him to Qianqing Palace, Nian Xilan thought that Kangxi was just planning to be with Nian Xilan as usual. She ate together and got along for half a day, so she only wore a rather comfortable home-cooked clothes, her hair was simply combed into two small buns, and only the topknot of Xishangmei that Kangxi had just given a few days ago was worn on her bun. Jin Buyao had a pretty face, although no makeup was applied on it, but the skin was still creamy and the eyebrows were far away.

Li Dequan was amazed when he saw it, and he thought to himself that when the other concubines in the harem were pregnant, they were more or less fat and dull, but after the concubine Xi was pregnant, not only did she not lose half of her color, but she added a little bit of it Charming beauty and charm.With such a unique and unparalleled beauty, it is no wonder that the emperor fell in love with her at first sight and would never forget her.

When Xi Lan came to Qianqing Palace that year, she was surprised to see Kangxi wearing a light blue thin cotton gown with a dark blue silk outer cover and a large fur cape inlaid with sable fur. But there are no decorations that should be worn by emperors.

Nian Xilan blinked her eyes, and asked in surprise: "The emperor is wearing this dress, is he going to go out of the Weifu palace?"

Kangxi nodded, looking at Nian Xilan with bright eyes full of expectation, observing the change of expression on Nian Xilan's face with burning eyes, and said softly with a hint of meaning: "I really want to go out of the palace in a humble way. Go. Because, I want to give you a gift."

Nian Xilan smiled when she heard the words, walked to the concubine's couch by the window and sat down in a familiar way, took the unfinished little clothes from Fang Lin, and said softly to Kangxi: "The emperor has given the concubine too. What an expensive gift, this time I will leave the palace and just bring back some interesting gadgets outside the palace. It just so happens that the clothes in my hand are not enough to be sewn, and I will help my concubine look at them when the emperor comes back Let's see if my concubine's craftsmanship has improved."

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan with her head down and started to sew the clothes very seriously, dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.

Kangxi walked up to Nian Xilan, took her hand, shook his head and sighed: "You silly girl, aren't you usually very smart? Why are you a little stupid now!"

Kangxi said while pulling Nian Xilan up from the beauty bed, "Hurry up and ask Fang Wan and Fang Lin to help you change your clothes. I have already arranged everything, and I will take you out of the palace right away! Didn't you say that the last Do you like to eat candied haws in the streets of Beijing! You can still eat them these few days, but when the weather gets warmer, you will have to wait until next year to eat authentic candied haws.”

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to take this concubine out of the palace to eat candied haws?" Nian Xilan looked at Kangxi incredulously, her big soft eyes were full of surprise.

Kangxi pampered Nian Xilan's little nose, and said softly: "When have I ever lied to you? Hurry up and change your clothes. If there is time, I plan to take you to the most famous Eight Immortals' Residence in the capital." Eat the signature dishes there, West Lake Vinegar Fish and Osmanthus Lotus Root. The taste of these two dishes is very authentic, exactly the same as what I ate in Jiangnan back then."

Looking at Kangxi's doting eyes, Nian Xilan finally understood that Kangxi was really planning to take her out of the palace in low clothes. She couldn't help but happily threw herself into Kangxi's arms, stretched out her arms to gently wrap around Kangxi's neck, and quickly walked around Kangxi. A kiss was printed on his thin lips.Then he quickly backed out, and happily took Fang Wan and Fang Lin to the bedroom to change clothes.
