Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 183

The next day, Li Dequan went to Yonghe Palace to convey Kangxi's will.

Concubine De knelt on the ground and only listened to Li Dequan's words: "The emperor said, let the empress take good care of the fourteenth elder brother. The fourth elder brother has always studied hard. If there is no important matter, there is no need to go to the Yonghe Palace to pay his respects." Li Dequan's voice paused After a pause, he continued: "The emperor also asked, the empress treated the fourth elder brother so harshly, is it because of the matter of Empress Xiao Yiren that she harbored resentment towards me?"

Li Dequan raised his voice, and there was something meaningful in his eyes.

"The concubine dare not, the concubine is originally a lowly body, it is a grace to serve the emperor, how dare she resent the emperor." After Li Dequan finished announcing the will, Concubine De's face was already pale, and she hastily explained.

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the servant. If the servant speaks too much, I think the emperor will understand what the emperor means. From now on, the empress will treat her as the only son of the fourteenth elder brother, so as not to make the emperor angry."

Concubine De felt that she was frightened for a moment, and knew that the emperor was angry because of punishing Yinzhen to kneel yesterday.But what happened yesterday, she lost her sense of control because of her desperation.

"Your Majesty, accept the order, the emperor is still waiting for the servant to go back to work."

Unable to guess what the emperor meant, after a while, Concubine De kowtowed and said: "The concubine respectfully obeys the emperor's edict." Although she felt that this matter was inappropriate, she knew that at this time she should not panic.

Since the emperor has issued a decree, she can't help but disrespect the decree.

The look on Concubine De's face was all in Li Dequan's eyes, if I knew it was like this, why did I do it in the first place?He has served the emperor for many years, and he sees it for real. From now on, even though the fourth elder brother is still the son of Concubine De, it is just a false name.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Concubine De for being unkind and too eccentric, which made the emperor angry and the fourth prince chilled.

"If Your Majesty has no other orders, then the slave will go to Qianqing Palace to answer." Li Dequan said seeing the maid helping Concubine De up.

"It's time for you, Father-in-law." Concubine De nodded and said politely.

After Li Dequan withdrew, Concubine De's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" The nanny next to her worriedly said, seeing her mother's pale face, with unconcealable panic in her eyes.

Concubine De fell to the ground, comforting herself desperately in her heart, no, no, the emperor was only angry for a while and would not blame her.

In particular, what happened yesterday was clearly Yinzhen's intention to harm her little fourteenth. The emperor must have known about it, so he let her take care of little fourteenth, and ordered the fourth elder brother not to enter Yonghe if nothing happened. palace.

Even though she was thinking this way, Concubine De still had a block in her heart.No matter how bad the fourth elder brother was, he should abide by his filial piety and come to pay her respects from time to time, but with the emperor's will, he will be more relaxed in the future.

Thinking of these, Concubine De felt a little unwilling.The son raised by Empress Xiao Yiren, he came to pay her respects every day, and knelt at her feet, what is it like now?She is his mother-in-law, can't she bear his kneeling?
Seeing that Concubine De's complexion was not good, the mother beside her hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and said with concern: "Your Majesty's complexion is not good, why don't you call the imperial physician over...?"

"No need." Before the nanny could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Concubine De, Li Dequan left, and she passed on to the imperial physician, and in the eyes of those who cared, wouldn't it be to accuse her of resenting the emperor.

The emperor is already dissatisfied. At this time, nothing can happen again.

In less than half an hour, the emperor's will spread throughout the entire harem.Hearing this decree, the concubines in the harem couldn't help but be a little surprised.The emperor is like this, did he believe in the fact that the fourth elder brother pushed the fourteenth elder brother into the water, or he angered the concubine De for being too biased and trampled on the fourth elder brother, that's why he came up with this will.

When the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send many rewards to the elder brother's office, the whole palace went up and down to realize that the emperor was clearly protecting the fourth elder brother.

That's right, with a eccentric mother like Concubine De, what good can the fourth elder brother get? Instead of watching his own mother love her younger brother in every possible way, but treat herself harshly in every possible way, it is better to distance herself and be at ease up.I just don't know how Concubine De will feel right now.

No matter how the people in the palace discussed, after Kangxi's decree came out, for several days in a row, the fourth elder brother really never went to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects.

Even though Concubine De was dissatisfied in her heart, she couldn't say a word. After all, the emperor's will was blocking her, so she couldn't blame her if she wanted to, otherwise, it would be a crime of resentment and disrespect to the emperor.

The matter of the fourth elder brother gradually subsided, and everyone got used to the way that the fourth elder brother and Concubine De were strangers to each other even though they were mother and son. At this time, there was news that he and his concubine were pregnant.

Since the newcomer entered the palace, the concubine was the most favored, counting the days, she should be pregnant.

When the news reached Qixiang Palace, Wang Miheng only nodded to show that he knew.

The concubine Guerjia in history only gave birth to a daughter for Kangxi, who unfortunately died before she grew up.

If she guessed right, the one in Hefei's belly would be the eighteenth princess in the future.

So, she wasn't worried.

Wang Miheng was sitting on the soft couch, holding a jade bowl in his hand, feeding the little buns on the couch spoon by spoon.

"Um... Erniang." Xiao Shiliu smiled, and held on to her hair with his hands.

Wang Miheng frowned in pain, but stretched out his hand to untie the bead flower from his hair, and handed it to him to play with.

Xiaoliu liked to grab things on her body since she was a child, such as hairpins, pearl flowers, and jade pendants. Wang Miheng told the story to the nanny, and the nanny only said that children love these shiny things. There is also curiosity.

Wang Miheng thought about it too, but he was watched carefully, for fear that he would grab something and stuff it into his mouth.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

Xiaoluzi raised the curtain in a panic and walked in, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this morning it was reported that Ge Erdan's soldiers had invaded Outer Mongolia, and the Emperor intends to personally conquer again."

Hearing Xiao Luzi's words, Wang Miheng's complexion changed drastically.

Ge Erdan, the imperial conquest?

After coming to this dynasty for so long, Wang Miheng has always lived in peace, but now he is really stunned when he hears it.

In the 27th year of Kangxi, before she entered the palace, Galdan personally led [-] cavalry to march eastward from Yili, cross Hang'ai Mountain, attack Khalkha, and occupy the entire Khalkha area.The leaders of the three tribes of Khalkha hurriedly led hundreds of thousands of people to the east and fled to the Ujumqin area in Monan, where they appealed to the Qing court for protection.

Kangxi's imperial conquest, successively defeated Junggar in Ulan Butong and Zhaomoda, only returned to Beijing due to illness, but failed to eliminate hidden dangers.

"Master, the emperor's personal conquest is really worrying." Before Wang Miheng could speak, Qiumei said worriedly.

The people in the harem, when they heard about the war, they all thought of danger.Although the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but if something happens, the master can...

Qiumei thought about it, but didn't dare to say these words.

Sitting there, Wang Miheng came back to his senses after a brief moment of stupefaction, and ordered: "Confess, this is a court matter, and no private discussion is allowed."

Qiumei also knew the severity, so she blessed her body, turned around and walked outside the hall.

Wang Miheng motioned for a glance, asked the nanny to carry Xiaoliu down, and ordered all the servants in the hall to go out.

For a while, only Wang Miheng was left in the hall.

She raised her head and looked out the window, picked up the snack on the plate, and felt a little lack of interest before she put it in her mouth.

Wang Miheng curled his lips, but couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.Anyway, it's like being blocked by a stone, stuffy.

As if he didn't want to be dominated by this feeling, Wang Miheng casually picked up a book on the table, opened it and read it.

I flipped through several pages, but couldn't even read a single word.

Well, she admitted that she felt a little uneasy when she heard that Kangxi wanted to conscript himself.

This kind of uneasiness is not fear or worry, but like a relative or friend leaving me, feeling empty and unspeakably uncomfortable.

Wang Miheng closed the book, put it on the table, and lay down on the table looking at the string of red coral bracelets on his wrist.

Hey, there is no way, who made her get along with Kangxi the most in this palace, and who is also the most familiar?Although the two of them hadn't seen each other for several days, to be honest, deep down in her heart, she still had some dependence on this man.

After all, since entering the palace, he has treated her fairly well, even a little indulgent.

When she thought that she was going to be alone in the palace, she felt a little faintly afraid.Of course, this is not fear, but just a feeling that there is a familiar person missing.

Wang Miheng lay prone on the table and fell asleep without knowing it.

When she woke up, she just raised her head and saw a bright yellow figure.

Wang Miheng blinked, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"Your Majesty." Wang Miheng whispered.

How did he come here at this time?
Before Wang Miheng got up, Kangxi took a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Have a cup of tea to wake up, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Wang Miheng blinked, forced himself to wake up, reached out to take the teacup in Kangxi's hand, and took a few sips before staying on the bed to say hello.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Wang Miheng just got down and was helped up by Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say that you don't need to be so polite in front of me?"

After hearing this, Wang Miheng curled her lips indistinctly. Why didn't she remember when she said this?

Seeing Wang Miheng standing there blankly, Kangxi smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Miheng's fair cheeks, thinking: It's really a blessing, even those poisoned by that kind of poison can be cured.

Thinking of this, Kangxi's eyes stayed on her face for a while.

Wang Miheng took a step back, and said angrily: "Didn't the emperor promise that his concubines would not move their hands?"

For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable.

What was it like to come to her before leaving? Did he think she was really easy to bully?
Regarding Kangxi not coming to the Qixiang Palace for several days, Wang Miheng still had a little mind in his heart, especially when he was in a bad mood today.

Listening to her words, Kangxi was not angry at all, his eyes fell on the string of red coral bracelets on her wrist, and he said softly: "Okay, it's my fault, I have neglected you these days."

Hearing this voice, Wang Miheng couldn't help being startled, raised his head to look at Kangxi, saw that his face was a little unnatural, obviously he seldom said such words.

Before Wang Miheng could open his mouth, Kangxi said again: "This bracelet is pretty good, you look very good on it." As he spoke, he smiled and pulled her into his arms with a little force.
