Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 107

Cheng Qiangong

Nanny Gui entered the hall with a bowl of medicine, looked at the imperial concubine who was sitting on the soft couch and was embroidering her nightgown stitch by stitch, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine stopped what she was doing, raised her head and reached out to take the medicine bowl handed over by Nanny Gui. A strong smell of medicine filled her nose, and she couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, you have to think about it carefully." Gui Momo thought for a while, but she still persuaded her aloud, but she had known for a long time that her mother would definitely not listen to people's persuasion. in the ears.

It is a three-point drug, not to mention such a tiger-wolf medicine, even if it can help conceive, but the empress has been in poor health since the last miscarriage, how can she stand such a toss.

Hearing Mammy Gui's words, the imperial concubine slightly paused the hand holding the medicine bowl, hesitated for a moment, then handed it to her mouth and drank it one gulp at a time.

After she finished drinking, Nanny Gui quickly picked up a glass of water and handed it over, still saying: "Your Majesty, why bother, Your Majesty is now in charge of the Phoenix Seal and has the emperor's favor, so why not follow the example of Xiao Yi back then?" Empress Ren, hold an elder brother by your side, the emperor will definitely agree to the empress's respect."

The imperial concubine raised her head and glanced at Nanny Gui standing in front of her, with a slight look of sadness on her face: "Adopted son is not a parent after all, it's not like Mammy doesn't know, filial piety..." Her voice paused for a while, and then Said: "Isn't my sister's fourth elder brother raised in Concubine De's palace at the moment?"

Speaking of this, the imperial concubine's eyes were obviously ironic, her sister was favored by the emperor, but she ended up like that, not only died, but even her son was taken away by others.

"Even though that's the case, you should also take care of your own body, the imperial doctor said..."

Before Nanny Gui finished her sentence, she was interrupted by the angry voice of the imperial concubine: "Okay, relying on those quack doctors in the imperial hospital, I have no hope in this life!"

Since the last miscarriage, she drank the medicine for two or three years back and forth. Every time the imperial doctors came over, they only said that her body was hurt by the miscarriage and needed to be recuperated slowly. Watching others give birth to the emperor's elder brother one by one, even Yugui, who just entered the palace, is pregnant, how can she bear the temper and recuperate slowly?

In particular, she managed to get the emperor's favor. If she can give birth to a little brother for the emperor, even if the emperor has another woman in the future, she will not be left out in the cold.

Nanny Gui stood there, seeing her mother's impatient look, and sighed slightly in her heart.

"Is there any movement in Yonghe Palace these days?" The imperial concubine asked casually without looking up.

"Concubine De is too cautious. She stays in her own palace except for paying her respects once a day. She doesn't even go to the emperor's place. I heard that Concubine De only cares about Elder Fourteen these days, and the rest of her time is the most That is to take a walk in your own palace."

The imperial concubine snorted, and said: "The emperor doesn't want to see her, so she naturally doesn't want to join in the fun. These days, can the emperor turn over her sign?"

Nanny Gui thought for a while, and said: "In this month, most of the emperor stayed with the empress, and only went to the concubine De's once. The rest are the concubine Xiang and nobleman Jin."

"Your Majesty Jin?" The imperial concubine raised her voice and said, "Why does the emperor think of her?" Hearing Nanny Gui's words, the imperial concubine thought she had heard wrong. Could it be because Mr. Jin and Concubine Mi are Han Chinese?
As soon as this thought changed, thinking of the emperor's love for the secret concubine some time ago, she felt uncomfortable.

Don't just leave a secret concubine, and another Jingui came, maybe the emperor likes those flimsy and flirtatious bastards!

"A Han girl, how can she be worthy to serve the emperor? Tell the people in the respect room that the imperial doctor said that Jingui's body needs to be recuperated, so there is no need to put her green card these days." The imperial concubine said indignantly, no Those who knew it thought that something big had happened.

Nanny Gui has been with the imperial concubine for so many years, it is not difficult to guess her thoughts.After the secret concubine entered the palace, the concubine first disdained it, thinking that the emperor was just trying something new, even if a Han empress with no background could pamper her, how long could she pamper her.But the longer the days, the disdain in the empress's heart gradually turned into hatred and jealousy.

Even, compared to the master of the Yonghe Palace, the empress is more afraid of the secret concubine who has just entered the palace.

After all, the emperor's love for the secret concubine can be seen by everyone in the palace.Not to mention anything else, let's just say that she gave birth to the emperor's little elder brother not long after she entered the palace. Not only that, the emperor also made an exception and canonized her as a concubine.

Ordinarily, a Han woman is a noble person if she is great, but the secret concubine can become the lord of the first palace, one can imagine how much the emperor values ​​her.

Therefore, the emperor turned over Jin Guiren's brand at this moment, and his own mother would inevitably feel jealous because of the secret concubine, fearing that she would become the second secret concubine at that time.

But then again, this kind of thing cannot be prevented by withdrawing the green card.Over the years, the emperor's majesty has become more and more serious. Sometimes he doesn't tell the eunuchs in the respect room, and he goes directly to whichever palace he wants.What if the emperor went to Jingui himself?The empress can't pull the emperor over from Jingui's room.

Besides, the empress has just obtained the phoenix seal, and everyone in the six palaces is watching. At this time, she hastily withdrew Jingui's green head card, and there will inevitably be some discussions in the six palaces, saying that the empress is jealous of Jingui's favor and deliberately makes things difficult. Keep the emperor in his own palace.

Rumors and rumors in the palace spread the fastest, if they accidentally reach the ears of the emperor, it would be bad to blame the empress.

Thinking of this, Nanny Gui hesitated for a while, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Your Majesty, why don't you invite an imperial doctor to diagnose Jingui's pulse in the name of Your Majesty, so that it will be safer. Your Majesty, you know, Jin The nobleman is weak, and he is often a little unhappy in winter. A few days ago, the maid beside nobleman Jin came to complain to the empress, saying that nobleman Jin could not come to pay his respects to the empress because of the cold at night."

In this way, people will not be able to find the fault, and at the same time, they can take the opportunity to give Jingui a grace.

The imperial concubine nodded slightly after hearing this, and said: "Well, you can deal with this matter according to your own needs, and tell Mrs. Jin that it's windy outside, so she doesn't have to come over to thank you."

"Yes." Nanny Gui replied, blessed her body, then turned around and backed out.

After Nanny Gui left, the imperial concubine's face showed a look of arrogance. If God could give her an elder brother, she would have nothing to ask for in this life.

Of course, even though adopting a son is not as good as having a parent, it doesn't mean that she can't take one into her palace first.

At such a time, she has to think more for herself, the emperor dotes on the fifteenth elder brother, if the fifteenth elder brother is raised in Chengqian Palace, the emperor will come over often to sit and sit.After a long time, it will become a habit, and the emperor will never neglect her again.

"The emperor is here—" she was just thinking, when a shrill voice came from outside the hall.

The imperial concubine was slightly taken aback, and then a look of joy appeared on her face, she hurriedly got down from the soft couch, and just as she walked to the door, she saw a bright yellow figure appearing in front of her eyes.

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor." The imperial concubine said softly.

Before she could get down, Kangxi stretched out his hand to help her up.That movement seemed to have been done thousands of times, it was extraordinarily natural.The imperial concubine smiled, and the brows were full of smiles.

"Why, feeling unwell?" Xu Shi had just finished drinking the medicine, and there was still a lingering smell of medicine in the air, which Kangxi could smell as soon as he came in.

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth froze, and said: "It's just some medicine for recuperation, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it."

Listening to her words, Kangxi nodded and said: "You have been in poor health since the last miscarriage, so you need to take care of yourself. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs bring a few boxes of high-quality swallow lamps to make up for your health."

The imperial concubine hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "My concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness."

"Get up, you are in charge of Fengyin now, and there are many things in the harem, it is time to make up for it."

The imperial concubine stood up and said with a smile: "No matter how busy the concubine is, it's just some trivial matters in the harem, but the emperor must take good care of the dragon's body when he is busy with official duties."

Kangxi sat on the soft couch, and soon a court lady brought tea. The tea was the best Mingqian Longjing tea. As soon as the lid was lifted, the strong fragrance of tea filled the air.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat silent.The imperial concubine stood there, seemingly unintentionally said: "Speaking of this Yanzhan, I think of something."

Kangxi took a sip, put down his tea, glanced at her, and signaled her to continue.

The imperial concubine hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, the maids around Mr. Jin came to plead guilty, saying that Mr. Jin was caught in the cold and could not come over to pay his respects. The concubine thought that Mrs. Jin has always been weak, and even more so in winter. Shu Tan, how about letting the imperial doctor take care of her, maybe it will be fine?"

Kangxi picked up the teacup, took a sip, then glanced at the imperial concubine standing there, and said indifferently: "You can do as you please, she is just a noble person, and you don't have to pay too much attention to it."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine quickly replied yes, and did not dare to say too much, for fear of arousing Kangxi's suspicion.

The imperial concubine stood there, but she heard Kangxi say: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Yugui is also more than six months pregnant, you should take some time to send someone to reward you."

The imperial concubine nodded, not knowing what the emperor meant, the child in Yugui's womb, the emperor never cared about it from the beginning.Otherwise, it won't be more than six months, and I haven't been to Mr. Yugui once.

Even yesterday, Yu Guiren waited at the gate of Qianqing Palace with his stomach full, but he couldn't see the emperor.

Before she could figure it out, she heard Kangxi say thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, Chengqian Palace is also deserted. I see that little Fourteen has a good temper, so I might as well hug him and raise him under your name."

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, the imperial concubine froze there.
