Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 116

After returning from Chengqian Palace, Wang Miheng lazily leaned on the soft couch in the hall. On the square table were a plate of brewed plums, two plates of dim sum, a plate of emerald jade bean cake and a plate of red date cake.

"Master, don't take it to your heart. It's none of our business if the noble lady fell and gave birth prematurely. Even if we go to the emperor, we will talk about it. They are jealous of the master's blessing, and the master wants to give birth to more elder brothers." Show them." Qiumei said indignantly.

Listening to Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng almost spit out the tea he had just drank. What do you mean by giving birth to more elder brothers? Can this kind of thing be used to get angry?Besides, which eye of hers saw that she was angry about this matter, she felt that she was not that kind yet, right?

It is true that she is pregnant, and it is true that she inadvertently pissed off Yugui, but this does not mean that Yugui fell and accidentally gave birth prematurely, so she has to feel guilty and self-blame. Can't live with others.

I don't know where this girl can see that she is uneasy. She obviously has nothing to do with her. Naturally, she can't afford to sulk over those jealous words. In the end, it's not her stomach that is angry child.

Seeing her master's expression, Qiumei breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't that she was careless, it was that the concubine Xiang's words were too harsh, what is meant by the fact that Yu Guiren will be bad when the master comes out? It is said that the master caused Yugui to give birth prematurely.

"It's good that the master is not angry. There are too many gossips in this palace. If we all care about it, we just can't get along with ourselves. Left and right, the emperor values ​​the master. No matter what those people say, it is useless." Looking indifferent, Qiumei secretly despised herself in her heart, feeling that she still had no master to hold her breath.

However, then again, anyone who hears these words will be more or less angry, but his master is an exception, and he is still in the mood to eat snacks at the moment.

Wang Miheng put down the teacup in his hand, and joked casually: "Where is there so much anger, you little girl takes one emperor at a time, you seem to care more than I do."

After hearing this, Qiumei immediately became a little annoyed, kicked her foot, and said angrily: "Master, this servant is not thinking of you. If the master says such things again, this servant will not dare to say anything." To turn around and leave.

Wang Miheng hurriedly grabbed her arm, and said: "Okay, okay, you just said something casually, and you will be annoyed. Then I ask you, who is your light green purse embroidered for in the past few days?" What?" Wang Miheng said, his eyes were full of gossip.

The purse was found by Wang Miheng by accident, looking at the shape, it doesn't look like it is for his own use, but it looks like it was embroidered for his sweetheart.

Qiumei likes plum blossoms, but she definitely has no reason to embroider plum blossoms on her purse. There are two mandarin ducks embroidered on the front of the purse, and a few plum blossoms on the back, so she can't help but think about it.

Qiumei panicked, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Master, forgive me, slave..."

Wang Miheng glanced at her, and Qiumei said falteringly: "Master, forgive me, I have already betrothed my cousin when I was young, and my cousin said, wait for the slave to be released from the palace...then marry the slave. It will be my cousin's birthday in a few days, so this servant thinks..."

Another cousin and cousin story.

After Wang Miheng listened to it, he felt very touched.Qiumei has served her for such a long time and devoted herself to everything. She can be regarded as the most capable person around her.But she knew very little about her affairs. If she hadn't seen her purse hidden in the basket by chance, she would never have known these things.

Not hearing her speak, Qiumei couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and just about to open her mouth to confess, she was pulled up by Wang Miheng himself.

"Get up, since you have such a heart, I will always take care of you. Wait for two more years and I will intercede for you and the emperor, and let you go out of the palace earlier." Wang Miheng held her hand , said softly.

"My servant thanked the master for his kindness, and will serve the master with all my heart." Qiumei was moved and knelt on the ground again and made a big salute.

For some reason, looking at Qiumei kneeling on the ground, Wang Miheng suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She felt that the Forbidden City seemed to have a depressing atmosphere at all times, which made her unable to avoid it. avoidable.

The only thing that can comfort her is that she is more or less a master in this Forbidden City, unlike Qiumei who allows others to control her own destiny.

Just as Wang Miheng was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, Wang Miheng raised his head, and heard the little eunuch outside report back: "My Majesty, Eunuch Li who is beside the emperor is here."

Wang Miheng motioned to Qiumei who was kneeling on the ground, and waited for her to stand up before saying, "Come in, please."

Soon, a court lady led Li Dequan in.

Li Dequan stepped forward a few steps, slapped Qian'er, bowed and said: "My servant pays my respects to the secret concubine."

Wang Miheng raised his hand and said with a smile: "Eunuch, come here, but what orders does the Emperor have?"

Li Dequan listened, with a smile on his face, he said respectfully: "The emperor said, come here today to accompany your mother for lunch, let the servant come here first and let her know."

"It's time to thank you, father-in-law." The news came really suddenly to Wang Miheng, Wang Miheng nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is serious. If your Majesty has no other orders, this servant will go back to Qianqing Palace to serve you."

Hearing this, Wang Miheng nodded to Li Dequan and said, "Qiumei, send off Eunuch Li for me."

"Yes."

After Qiumei and Li Dequan withdrew, Wang Miheng stretched slowly, thinking that he hadn't seen Kangxi for some time, and the most recent time was when he beat him up.

Thinking of this, Wang Miheng couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.But after thinking about it, she felt that the beating was not embarrassing, but what was the embarrassment of her being beaten.Anyway, just do whatever you want, she has been humiliated in front of him too many times, and this is not a bad time.

Maybe, Kangxi accompanied her to have this lunch with the aim of apologizing.

Wang Miheng comforted himself, completely forgetting how easy it is for a man as arrogant as Kangxi to let go of his figure. This lunch, at best, can be regarded as a grace for her.

As soon as Qiumei came in, she saw her master had a thoughtful look on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Because Kangxi often came to Qixiang Palace for meals before, Wang Miheng knew Kangxi's taste very well, so he told Qiumei a few words and asked the small kitchen to prepare.

As for her, she was lazily leaning on the pillow and reading the book. The book was still the Manchu-Chinese dictionary that Kangxi specially asked Li Dequan to send her. During these days of confinement, she read a lot in her spare time.

Not to mention, with the foundation of her previous life, her self-taught ability is not bad.After a few months of hard work, I knew most of some daily vocabulary.Of course, it is only limited to the understanding in writing, and if she really wants to communicate, she can't even say half a sentence.

In fact, she has never been able to figure out the reason why Kangxi asked her to learn Manchu so abruptly. She is a concubine in the harem, to put it bluntly, she is Kangxi's concubine. Please be safe from the Palace of Compassion and Ning.Even if she learns it, it won't come in handy, will it?

Of course, after thinking about it, she still dare not not listen to Kangxi's words. The longer she gets along with her, the more she understands a truth. Kangxi's words cannot be vague at all. If you are vague, he will suffer in the end. yourself.

When Kangxi came in, he saw Wang Miheng leaning on the soft couch, holding a book in one hand and picking up a plum in the other, eating with relish
That way, it was very comfortable.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Miheng raised his head, saw that it was Kangxi, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, sat up and got off the steps.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Wang Miheng stepped forward to bless his body, but did not reprimand the people outside for not notifying him.

Don't think about it, I also know that I want to report but was stopped by Kangxi.It's not that she doesn't know this man, he is used to sudden attacks from time to time, and she doesn't know what kind of psychology he is.

"Get up, you are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite in the future." Kangxi helped her up with his own hands and said.

Wang Miheng raised his head and smiled slightly: "The concubine thanked the emperor."

The two walked towards the soft couch hand in hand, and soon a court lady brought tea.

"How are you these few days?" Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood, before Wang Miheng could open his mouth, he began to speak on his own.

Wang Miheng smiled slightly, and asked back: "The emperor is watching, is the concubine okay?"

Kangxi glanced at her and laughed: "You!"

Seeing the undisguised smile on Kangxi's face, Wang Miheng felt a little proud.Look, she still understands Kangxi's temperament. If she said in this situation: Everything is fine with the concubine, thank you for your concern, she dared to say that Kangxi's little interest would be drowned out by her immediately.

"I've imprisoned you for three months, and I haven't seen you make any progress." Kangxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, expressing emotion meaningfully.

Hearing what he said, Wang Miheng was speechless for a while, what does it mean to make no progress? Could it be that he was still counting on her to change her personality in three months.

Besides, if she really became well-behaved, how could she have fun for him.

Wang Miheng thought to himself, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty said it yourself, it's only been three months, maybe the Emperor will lock up the concubines for three to five years, and the concubines will naturally grow up."

Kangxi laughed and said: "If I say one word, you will have ten sentences waiting behind."

After hearing this, Wang Miheng didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"Tell me, what have you been doing these days?" Kangxi asked with great interest.

When Wang Miheng raised her head, she saw Kangxi's mouth slightly raised. She was most familiar with that half-smile expression.
