Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 133

As if to confirm Qiumei's words, after only one day, Concubine Xiang was kicked out of Qianqing Palace by Kangxi because she was overdressed.

After another day, the little princess died.

And Kangxi, as if venting his anger, decreed to confine Concubine Xiang in his palace.

This is a silent deterrent, and all the concubines in the six palaces are at ease.At least, it seems so on the surface.

So, the days are leisurely.

The imperial concubine was banned from going to the Chengqian Palace to pay her respects every day, and the emperor was in a bad mood and could not go to the Qianqing Palace to compete for favor, and even lost the mood to dress up.

It is said that women are those who please themselves, and if there is no one who appreciates them, there will be no interest.

Ever since Wang Miheng entered the palace, the harem has rarely been so quiet.

Cheng Qiangong

The imperial concubine, who was grounded because of the matter of the nobleman, seemed to be in a good mood.Since the empress came back from Zhongcui Palace a few days ago, she has not shown any signs of anger.Even Nanny Gui couldn't understand such a noble concubine.

It stands to reason that the empress has suffered such a great grievance, how can she hold back from crying and fussing, and she is even interested in playing chess pieces there.

"Your Majesty, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell your servants, don't hold yourself back." Nanny Gui stepped forward to remove the teacup that the imperial concubine had finished drinking, and said worriedly.

Hearing Nanny Gui's words, the imperial concubine smiled: "What's wrong with this palace, I wish the emperor would confine me to Chengqian Palace."

Nanny Gui didn't understand what it meant, she raised her head and said, "Your Majesty means..."

The imperial concubine smiled lightly and said, "Ma'am, don't you think that the emperor's confinement of the palace means that he will not pursue the matter of the Cheng family?" It will be dealt with at the end.

Therefore, such a result is what she is most happy to see.Regardless of whether the emperor cared about the past friendship or the Tong family, she was relieved.

Hearing the meaning of the imperial concubine's words, Nanny Gui was half happy and half happy and said: "God bless, this old slave can finally feel at ease."

The imperial concubine felt the mood of Nanny Gui, and her eyes turned slightly with deep meaning.

Nanny Gui watched her grow up. Although in her heart she often regarded the Tong family as more important than her, and would even do things on her own initiative, it is undeniable that in this palace , she is the only one who treats her sincerely.

As for that girl Ulan, she was only loyal to her because of her majesty or to get a generous reward.Compared with the nanny who watched her grow up, Ulan's loyalty is not so important.

"It's all because of my recklessness, which made me worry about following me." The imperial concubine grabbed Gui's hand, her eyes were full of sincerity.

Hearing this, Nanny Gui's heart felt hot, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.

"Your Majesty really offends this old slave by saying this. The old slave has watched her grow up since she was a child. If she says something disrespectful, she has long regarded her as her own daughter in her heart. This old slave has never been in this life. I don't ask for anything else, I only ask that the empress can live a stable life in the palace, and this old slave will be satisfied even if she dies."

The imperial concubine's eyes slowly swept across Nanny Gui's face, and comforted her with a light smile: "What are you talking about, Madam, with Mammy accompanying me, I will be fine."

Nanny Gui nodded again and again, and said with relief, "What Your Majesty said is true."

The imperial concubine listened to Nanny Gui's words, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Nanny Gui wiped away her tears, went to the table with a smile and opened the food box, took a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar and put it on the table.

"I remember that when my mother was in the mansion, I loved to eat the sugar-steamed crispy cheese I made myself."

Hearing Mammy Gui's words, the imperial concubine unconsciously smiled: "That's right, every time I ask for food, Mammy will make it for me."

As the imperial concubine said, she picked up a spoon, scooped up a small spoon and blew on the hot air before putting it in her mouth.

Nanny Gui stood there, looked at the smile on the imperial concubine's face, and said: "Your Majesty, if you like it, this old slave will do it for you every day."

For some reason, since entering the palace, the empress has changed her preferences in the mansion.Take this sugar-steamed crispy cheese as an example. When she was in the mansion, the empress thought about it every few days, but since she entered the palace, especially in recent years, sometimes she made it, and the empress just put it there without taking a bite. move.

Gradually, she understood that the empress didn't like it anymore.

Although she didn't know why the empress didn't like it, but as a slave, she naturally had to take into account the empress' preferences.Since then, it has never been eaten like this again.

But today, thinking that my mother was wronged by the emperor, and these days because of taking medicine and suffering so much, I thought of making a bowl of sugar-steamed crispy cheese for my mother to taste.Maybe, when the empress remembers the things in the mansion, she will feel better?

Now it seems that this idea is not bad.

Just as he was thinking, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Nanny Gui turned her head to look, and saw Ulan lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Your Majesty, just now, the emperor sent Ning Guiren to go to Qianqing Palace to accompany him." Ulan blessed her body, took a cautious look at the imperial concubine, and then said.

Hearing Ulan's words, the imperial concubine's face suddenly turned ugly.

Ning Guiren, Ning Guiren again, a nobleman who can't stand on the stage, why is the emperor so caring.In the past half a month, the emperor has flipped Ning Guiren's brand three times. If this continues, it is impossible to guarantee that Ning Guiren will not become the second secret concubine.

"Bengong underestimated her. If she can coax the emperor to let her live alone, I should see that she is not a small character."

Nanny Gui stood there and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how noble Ning is favored, as long as she has no heirs, she won't be able to achieve anything."

Hearing Nanny Gui's words, the imperial concubine snorted coldly, and said: "The emperor dotes on her so much, it's not a matter of time before the emperor's heir. When she has an emperor's heir, it will be too late."

Seeing the coldness in the imperial concubine's eyes, Nanny Gui was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must hold your breath at this time, lest you lose your tongue."

The imperial concubine glanced at her, and said slowly: "I know that this matter is not urgent, and we need to plan slowly." The Cheng family's affairs have just come to an end, so naturally she can't act at this time, lest she be caught by someone who wants to Pass the handle to the emperor's ears, and in that case, the loss outweighs the gain.

Fortunately, Nanny Gui is right, Ning Guiren's status is not high, even if the emperor favors him, he won't be able to achieve anything in a day or two.

Just wait, after a while, she is trying to get rid of her.

The imperial concubine was thinking, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and her fingers fiddled with the gold-embroidered and jade-encrusted armor, wondering what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty." Nanny Gui called out.

The imperial concubine just came back to her senses, and said after a while: "Go down, I'm a little tired, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes." Nanny Gui and Wu Lan blessed themselves, turned around and backed out.

Watching the two walk out of the hall, the imperial concubine looked away, and glanced at the half-cold bowl of steamed sugar cheese on the table, with a mocking smile on her lips.

She has long since hated this thing.That time, the emperor ordered the people in the imperial dining room to make a bowl of sugar-steamed crispy cheese. She was overjoyed, but the emperor said, this is what your sister likes to eat, and you will like it too.

No, the emperor has never cared about her, so how would he know what she likes to eat?In the eyes of the emperor, she is just a substitute for her sister, not even a substitute.The emperor may not care as much about his sister as she imagined.

In the past, she always thought that the emperor cared about her sister.But these days, she thought about it for a long time.I feel more and more that I was afraid that my thoughts were wrong.In the early years, she went to the palace to stay with her sister for a period of time, and she also saw how the emperor and her sister got along.

At that time, she thought that the emperor was very kind to her sister. Such a high-ranking man was gentle and considerate to her sister. Naturally, he was willing to let go of his figure because he valued her.That's so good, it makes her envious, makes her jealous, wishing that the person sitting there is her instead of her sister.

So much so that for so many years, she has always regarded her sister as her imaginary enemy, and always thinks that if it is her sister, what should the emperor do?
It wasn't until these days that she watched the emperor's kindness to his concubine from a distance, that she knew what kind of kindness the emperor would have if he wanted to be kind to someone.

He will give her favor, status, and heirs, so that everyone in the harem will know how much he values ​​her.

This kind of goodness, neither her sister nor herself, has never received it.

In just a short moment, the imperial concubine's eyes showed a strong hatred.

"Why, the emperor is only good to you alone, I always have a way to make you bad."

Clean up the palace
Kangxi was sitting behind the dragon case reviewing the memorial, and this state had lasted for several hours. When Kangxi didn't speak, Li Dequan could only stand there motionless.

After a while, Li Dequan glanced at Kangxi cautiously, then turned his head and motioned to the tea-serving maid who was standing not far away, then took a cup of tea from the tray and walked up.

"Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Kangxi gave him a majestic look, then put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Only then did Li Dequan heave a sigh of relief. The emperor has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and he punished the servants at every turn. All right.

Kangxi took a few sips before putting down the teacup in his hand.

Li Dequan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Ning Guiren has arrived and has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he ordered Mr. Ning to come and accompany him.

"Send her in."

"Yes." Li Dequan responded, and just turned around, and heard Kangxi say: "Forget it, let her go back to her own palace."

Hearing Kangxi's words, Li Dequan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly replied: "Yes, the slave will go now."

Although it was the emperor's decree to pass on Ning Gui, it is possible that the emperor changed his mind temporarily.

He has served Kangxi for so many years, and he has never seen anything. The current situation is nothing more than the emperor's loss of interest.

He just said, no matter how favored Ning Gui is, it is nothing more than a plaything to the emperor.

This point, he has long seen clearly.
