Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 124

After sending Li Dequan away, Concubine De ordered her fourteenth elder brother to be carried down, while she sat on the soft couch and remained silent for a long time.

Concubine De sat there without saying a word, but Nanny Zhang couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you, Ma'am, the emperor can let elder brother stay for a few more days, Madam, you should be happy."

Hearing Zhang Nanny's words, Concubine De came back to her senses, smiled, and said slowly: "I am naturally happy that Yinzhen can accompany me. However, I don't understand why the emperor suddenly stepped down." Such will."

Concubine De couldn't figure it out, and Nanny Zhang couldn't figure it out even more.She only knew that with the emperor's decree, the Yonghe Palace could live comfortably for a few more days.Seeing that Elder Fourteen's illness is cured now, if Chengqian Palace sends someone over, the empress will not be happy in her heart, the master will be unhappy, how can the slave be at ease.

Fortunately, the emperor is sympathetic, thinking about it, he also took into account the past relationship with the empress.

It has to be said that although Nanny Zhang has been a slave in the palace for so many years, her understanding of Kangxi is really shallow. You must know that if the past affection was taken into consideration, Brother Fourteen would not be recorded in the palace. The name of the concubine is under.What's more, Concubine De's two sons were given to others because of Kangxi's will.

There are conspiracies and calculations in the harem, but the word "love" is pitifully rare, let alone talking about love with the emperor.No matter how deep the love is, it is not as deep as the country, the country, or the affairs of the court.

What Zhang Nanny couldn't see through didn't mean that Concubine De couldn't see through. Concubine De had served Kangxi for so many years, so she didn't know Kangxi's temperament at least seven points, at least three points.

After listening to Li Dequan's announcement of Dao's will, Concubine De's joy was second to none, and more of a kind of bewilderment.I don't understand why the emperor suddenly gave her such a big grace. This is not a simple decree. This decree is also related to the master of Chengqian Palace. More precisely, the emperor's decree is probably For Tong Jiashi to see.

However, after a detour, Li Dequan was specially ordered to come over and read out the imperial edict.This alone was enough to make her feel strange.

Concubine De thought for a while, raised her head and asked, "Has there been any movement in Chengqian Palace recently?"

Zhang Momo was slightly startled, and replied: "The slaves have sent people to watch, and there has been no movement. Even the fourteenth elder brother was taken back to the palace by the empress, and the imperial concubine seemed to only get angry, and then went back again. I didn't mention it." At the end, Zhang Nanny's voice became smaller and smaller.

Obviously, the imperial concubine just didn't want to see the fourteenth elder brother. I heard that the imperial concubine valued the newly born son of the secret concubine, but before she had time to speak, the emperor had already issued an order.

Speaking of it, it was because of my own mother's bad luck. The fourth elder brother was hugged by Empress Xiao Yiren when he was born. He thought that he would be able to protect the fourteenth elder brother when he became a concubine, but he didn't expect that the emperor's decree would be recorded in Under the name of the imperial concubine.After going back and forth, the two sons of the empress eventually became the sons of others.

I am afraid that only the empress knows the taste of it.

In this way, it is not surprising that every time the secret concubine is mentioned, the empress's face is not very good.This is not the same as the fate of the same person. Didn't the secret concubine be an unworthy nobleman when she gave birth to the fifteenth elder brother? How could her child not be missed by others.

It can only be said that everything in this palace is fake, only the favor of the emperor is real.As long as the emperor is willing to pamper and support you, you will be the most proud person in the harem, and you will tell others about your birth and family background.The emperor doesn't care anymore, who has the right to care?

Hearing Nanny Zhang's words, Concubine De immediately lowered her face, and slammed the table, perhaps too hard, the armor on her hand was broken.

Obviously, the meaning revealed in Zhang Nanny's words was something that Concubine De couldn't tolerate.Or, this has become a thorn in Concubine De's heart, and it hurts badly just to mention it.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant has made a slip of the tongue." Madam Zhang shuddered and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

The imperial concubine naturally couldn't hide from Concubine De's eyes about the Fourteenth Elder Brother, just thinking about it, Concubine De felt uncomfortable.

That feeling is very subtle.On the one hand, she didn't want to see the imperial concubine get close to Yinzhen, but on the other hand, when the imperial concubine really alienated her son, she felt that both mother and son were insulted.No matter how Yinzhen is the emperor's son, why does the imperial concubine look down on Yinzhen? Isn't it because she was born as a court lady?
Concubine De's gaze lingered on Nanny Zhang for a long time before she said calmly: "Get up, I'm not angry with you either. If there's anything else, come and tell me."

Nanny Zhang just wanted to get up, when she heard the second part of Concubine De's words, her face showed panic and nervousness again.

"Speak!" Concubine De sat motionless on the soft couch, and said coldly: "I want to listen, there is something I can't know."

Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head for a long time before faltering and saying: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I also listened to the people below me, saying that the imperial concubine was thinking about the fifteenth elder brother of the secret concubine, and I don't know. Why, just..." At the end of the sentence, she dared not say a single word, but De Fei naturally understood the meaning of her words.

The imperial concubine looks down on the fourteenth elder brother, but due to the emperor's will, she has to recognize the fourteenth elder brother as her son, which can explain why the imperial concubine has always been indifferent to the fourteenth elder brother .

It's been a long time since everyone was picked up by the empress, and there is no word from Chengqian Palace.It can only be said that what people look at is the fifteenth elder brother who is highly valued by the emperor, and there is no fourteenth elder brother in his heart.

But so what, even if the imperial concubine is like this, people can't find a trace of fault. The fourteenth elder brother eats and uses the best food in Chengqian Palace, and there are mothers who take care of him carefully. Even if she didn't put her heart into it and fulfilled her responsibility as a mother-in-law, what can others say?
Concubine De glanced at Nanny Zhang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Which palace did it come from?"

Nanny Zhang lowered her head and replied cautiously: "Returning to your mother, the slaves also heard the private eunuchs discussing in private yesterday that this thing has so many masters in six palaces and so many palaces. Maybe it came from which palace?" from."

"Then why don't you report back to me?" De Fei looked at her thoughtfully and said.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My Majesty is in good health. Now I have to take care of Elder Brother Fourteen. How dare this servant annoy Your Majesty with these things." Hearing the meaning of Concubine De's words, Zhang Nanny hurriedly said.

In fact, this statement is not very true, but also nine points.She was not the only one in Yonghe Palace who knew about this kind of thing, there were so many court ladies and eunuchs, but none of them dared to report to the empress.That means that this word cannot reach the empress's ears.

It's one thing for the servants to talk in private, but it's another thing for the empress to know about it. Besides, this is a better day, and I can't make the empress unhappy because of this matter.

Those who are slaves have the rules of being a slave, what should be said and what should not be said, they are all clear in their hearts.

Hearing Nanny Zhang's words, Concubine De's heart tightened, and she knew that she might not be able to ask anything.Only she and the imperial concubine knew about this matter. If she didn't say anything, then only the imperial concubine would be alone.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, she immediately denied it. Although the woman was a little restless at times, she was not so stupid.

How could she spread the word about a matter that was already in the past and was doomed to be fruitless, so that everyone in the palace knew about it, and even offended the secret concubine.

De Fei calmed down, stood up abruptly, her face suddenly changed.

"Miss!"

Nanny Zhang knelt on the ground, looked at Concubine De who stood up suddenly, and cried out hastily.

Concubine De is usually the most prudent, seeing her mother's appearance now, Mammy Zhang naturally realized the seriousness of this matter.

It's just that she was a little puzzled, because the empress would lose her composure like this.

At this moment, Concubine De is linking this matter with Li Dequan's will just now.

This whole thing, it's like someone is behind the scenes.The imperial concubine has lost her sacred heart, and her side is in such a mess again, who will hand over the affairs of the harem.

Concubine De walked a few steps in the hall with a serious face, and thought about the recent events in detail, but she still had no clue.

Just one thing, she faintly felt that the emperor's decree and the current gossip in the palace might be from the same person.

Qixiang Palace
Wang Miheng, who heard the rumors, was sitting there sullen. She was pregnant and no one around her dared to tell her about it. However, Qiumei is a person who can't hide things, and she writes all her thoughts on her face. Naturally, Miheng's understanding of her was quickly seen through.

After repeated questioning, Wang Miheng knew that his son had been missed since he was born.

"Master, don't be angry, isn't the fifteenth elder brother good-looking? Besides, the imperial concubine already has fourteenth elder brother by her side, so she can't miss us anymore." Qiumei arrived at Wang Miheng with a bowl of almond tea In front of him, he persuaded in a low voice.

Wang Miheng reached out to take the almond tea, but she was not in the mood to drink it. Apart from being angry, she was more afraid now.

At that time, she didn't know anything, and she was just a little nobleman.

According to the rules in the harem, nobles are not qualified to raise their own children.Therefore, if it hadn't been for Kangxi's decree to promote her to her position, her situation would probably be the same as that of Concubine De.Just thinking about it made her frightened for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Luzi's voice came in from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li who is beside the Emperor is here."

Wang Miheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still ordered: "Please come in quickly."

Soon, Li Dequan walked in from outside the hall.

"Slave pays respects to the empress." Li Dequan gave a respectful slap with a smile on his face.

"Get up, the father-in-law is here, but what is the emperor's order?" Wang Miheng asked, Li Dequan was a celebrity around Kangxi, so it was Kangxi's intention that he came here.

After hearing Wang Miheng's words, the smile on Li Dequan's face deepened: "The emperor ordered the servant to come and tell the empress that he will come over for dinner at noon, and the empress will prepare it first."

Wang Miheng nodded, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa..." Wang Miheng stopped talking just after saying two words.

On the other side, Li Dequan had already guessed what she meant.

"Your Majesty, just be careful. No matter how difficult this matter is, it's not just a matter of the emperor's words."

Hearing Li Dequan's words, Wang Miheng just smiled, but he couldn't understand it in his heart.

There are some things that others can say, but she cannot.

Fortunately, since Kangxi is willing to come over, it means that his father's matter should have passed the test smoothly.
