Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 111

The next day, Kangxi ordered the patriarchal government to change the jade certificate of the fourteenth elder brother to the name of the imperial concubine. So far, it is a foregone conclusion that the fourteenth elder brother will be raised in Chengqian Palace.

In less than a few months, Concubine De first lost the phoenix seal in her hand, and now even her most beloved son was snatched away by others.When hearing this news, Concubine De's eyes went dark and she passed out on the spot.

No one in the Yonghe Palace dared to go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor.My mother fainted after hearing the emperor's will, and it fell into the ears of others, so she became resentful to the emperor?My own mother can't bear such a crime, and those slaves like them can't bear it even more.Therefore, only a few personal maids were left in the room to wait on them in turn.

It wasn't until the next morning that someone went to Chengqian Palace to complain to the imperial concubine, saying that his mother had a cold and could not come to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects.

When she heard the news, the imperial concubine only slightly nodded, and ordered someone to go to the imperial hospital to send the imperial physician over to have a look.

As soon as the palace maid left, someone said meaningfully: "Ms. De Concubine is always in good health, why did she catch a cold in just one day, you must let the imperial doctor take a good look at it, don't just pretend to be sick and don't want to come here to say hello to your empress.

"Sister's words are very true, but then again, this can be avoided on the first day of the new year but not on the fifteenth day. Is it possible that Empress Defei really doesn't intend to step into the gate of Chengqian Palace?"

"Okay, let's all be quiet, this palace is a bit tired, you all go back to your respective palaces." After hearing a few words, the imperial concubine frowned and said angrily.

Last night, Brother Fourteen cried and made noise all night. She didn't sleep well all night, and her mind was so dizzy that she didn't have time to listen to what they said.

Hearing the imperial concubine's words, all the concubines immediately fell silent in embarrassment, stood up to bless their bodies, and said: "Yes, the concubine will leave."

The imperial concubine waved her hand, and all the concubines turned around and retreated.

Nanny Gui gestured to the maid standing in the hall, and after a while, there were only her and the imperial concubine left in the hall.

"Your Majesty, if you feel tired, you might as well sleep a little longer." Nanny Gui stepped forward and persuaded.

"Forget it, let me pour you a cup of tea." The imperial concubine rubbed her forehead with a tired look on her face.

"Yes." Nanny Gui replied, and quickly walked to the table and poured a cup of hot tea into her hand.

After taking a few sips of tea, the imperial concubine's complexion improved, and she asked, "Is Brother Fourteen awake?"

"I just went to see it, but I'm still asleep. I'm afraid I'm tired after a night of fussing last night." Hearing what her mother said, Nanny Gui hurriedly replied.

The imperial concubine nodded her head: "It's good to fall asleep, if he continues to make such a fuss, I won't be able to bear it anymore."

After saying this, she went on to say: "By the way, go tell the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and pick two experienced nuns to come over in a while."

Nanny Gui's eyes tightened, knowing that her mother was about to make a move.That's right, those two in the side hall are the concubine De's usual slaves, so the empress naturally looked at her.Besides, even the emperor said that if the empress is not used to it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send a few more.

"Yes, I know about it." Nanny Gui responded, and asked casually, "What is your empress going to do about Brother Fourteen?"

She knew that her mother didn't like Concubine De's fourteenth elder brother, but the emperor sent everyone here, and now the clan's mansion changed Yudie. From now on, the fourteenth elder brother would be her mother's son , honor and disgrace are all involved with the empress.

Therefore, what she meant by saying this was to remind her mother that even if she doesn't like Brother Fourteen, she should think about it in the long run.The fear in the palace is that there will be no sons, and it's just a matter of course, so it's right to raise them well.

Maybe in the future, the blessing of the empress will depend on this one?

Hearing Nanny Gui's words, the imperial concubine was stunned unconsciously. It took a long time before she sighed and said: "What plans can this palace have? Just educate it well, after all, it is the emperor's will." She said, The hands moved slowly towards the abdomen.

"Your Majesty?" Nanny Gui watched her movements, with a worried look in her eyes.

The empress has been using that medicine for half a month, and there is no movement until now.It's no wonder that the empress is impatient, this tiger and wolf medicine can only be used for two months at most, otherwise, there will be fear of life.

"Go to the small kitchen to see if the medicine is ready?" The imperial concubine sighed.

"Yes." Nanny Gui opened her mouth, she wanted to persuade her, but she swallowed all the words.

Although she watched her mother grow up, she is still a slave after all, and her mother's temperament is the kind that once she has made up her mind, she will not listen to others' persuasion, so she can only keep some words in her heart, or look at them. When the master is in a better mood, he will say a few more words, and the empress will have to say something else if he can listen to it or not.

Therefore, even though Nanny Gui has always had taboos about the medicine to help her conceive, she can only go to the small kitchen to stare at it every day.

The matter of the imperial concubine drinking the pregnancy aid was kept very tight. On weekdays, Ulan and Nanny Gui would stare at her in the small kitchen, saying that it was the nourishing prescription prescribed by the imperial physician.After it was boiled, Nanny Gui brought it up in person, so there were only two people who handled it back and forth, so as not to cause any trouble.

After a while, Nanny Gui brought the boiled medicine into the hall, and the strong smell of the medicine permeated in an instant.

The imperial concubine raised her head, reached out to take the medicine bowl in her hand, scooped it up with a spoon a few times, and then drank it while it was hot.

"In a while, go to the imperial hospital and ask the imperial doctor to come over and feel the pulse of this palace."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui responded, and then said: "The news came from the Yonghe Palace just now, saying that Concubine De is really suffering from a cold, and it has been dragging on for a day. The servants of the Yonghe Palace did not dare to say anything, and they just took advantage of this morning to report back." Let the empress send the imperial doctor to the past."

Hearing this, the imperial concubine glanced at Nanny Gui, and said: "After all, she has become a master from a slave, and even her bones have become delicate." Her voice paused, and said: "Is there any What's happening?"

Nanny Gui shook her head, and said back: "The emperor doesn't seem to care much about Concubine De's affairs these past few days. I heard that someone has gone to Qianqing Palace to report to the emperor. The emperor just said something for the imperial doctor to watch."

The corner of the imperial concubine's mouth curled into a sneering smile: "Yes, at this time, what else can I do other than let the imperial doctor take a good look at it? It is said that heart disease needs heart medicine, but Defei's medicine is currently in the hands of the imperial concubine. In Gong's palm, Bengong finds it interesting when he thinks about it."

Nanny Gui nodded, and replied: "Concubine De is very scheming, and the emperor knows it. It is reasonable to be rejected by the emperor now. It's just that the empress has to spend some time, saying that she has become a master from a slave. It is the most ruthless."

Hearing Nanny Gui's words, the imperial concubine laughed and said, "No matter how hard she can be, she can't ignore her own son."

"By the way, the fourth elder brother has been to the Yonghe Palace?"

Nanny Gui looked up at her, and said: "Si elder brother is a filial person, every now and then he would go to Yonghe Palace to pay respects to Concubine De. After the emperor's order was issued, Si elder brother would go every day, but I heard that Concubine De had I was deeply saddened by the matter of the fourteenth elder brother, and did not let the fourth elder brother go in."

When Er Niang is partial to this, it is rare in the harem.

The imperial concubine nodded slightly, as if she said with some emotion: "Back then, the fourth elder brother was raised in my sister's palace, and now the fourteenth elder brother is recorded under my name, maybe she was not lucky enough to be a mother-in-law." .”

"What the empress said is that Concubine De's status is lowly. Although the emperor values ​​it these years, it is only for appearances. The empress only needs to look at the Wei family to know."

The emperor doesn't like the Wei family, it's not because of Wei's status as a lowly slave in Xin Zhe Ku. Speaking of which, Concubine De is also an unworthy court lady. It is her good fortune that the emperor can spoil her for so many years.Could it be that she still thinks that she will be favored by the emperor for the rest of her life, and even one day she will be promoted to a noble concubine or an imperial concubine?

If she has two sons, the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, then this matter is still possible, but now the fourteenth elder brother is recorded in the mother's name, and the fourth elder brother is the son of Queen Xiaoyiren. The queen went to the emperor and did not order the clan mansion to be changed to Yudie.

Therefore, this noble concubine or imperial concubine can only be a delusion, and the emperor is thinking of his past affection to be able to keep his concubine position.

Concubine De is ill.

Who would have thought that this illness has been really ill for a long time.

For two consecutive months, Concubine De's illness was still up and down, intermittent, and she only woke up for a while every day, leaning on the pillow to take some medicine and feeling tired.

According to the imperial physician, Concubine De was overwhelmed with rage, coupled with excessive sadness, which led to depression in her heart. If her heart disease cannot be eliminated, even if the disease is cured, it may not be able to be eradicated.

Of course, when Li Dequan replied, he didn't dare to finish the words of the imperial physician verbatim, but the meaning was similar.

Kangxi was sitting behind the dragon case reviewing the memorial. When he heard Li Dequan's words, he didn't even raise his head, but said coldly: "If you are sick, you can give birth. I am not an imperial physician."

"Yes." Li Dequan bowed his body, said yes, and naturally heard that the emperor didn't care.I don't know how this concubine De has offended the emperor. Looking at the past few months, it's like watching a play. Even watching a play is not so exciting.

Li Dequan was thinking about it, when he heard Kangxi ask again: "How is Mi Concubine doing today?"

Kangxi made a sudden sound, which startled Li Dequan. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, everything will be fine for the secret concubine, except for the lethargy, so far you haven't had any troubles?"

Li Dequan was Kangxi's close friend, so he naturally knew about the secret concubine's pregnancy.

Speaking of which, no one in this whole palace is so lucky as a secret concubine.

It seems that the feet are grounded, does the emperor care about it?The secret concubine asked about every detail of what she did and what she ate every day.

Sometimes, even Li Dequan felt a little unbelievable.

Kangxi nodded, put down the memorial in his hand, and said calmly: "Well, according to my order, I will spare my concubine from being grounded tomorrow morning."
