Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 185

After Yu Jia left Beijing, the harem was peaceful for a few days, which was rare.

Until, the maid next to Concubine Hui accidentally bumped into Concubine He, and was taught a lesson by Concubine He Haosheng.

When the news came, Wang Miheng almost felt that he had heard it wrong.

He concubine is soft-tempered, a little gentler than her who came from the Jiangnan water town, why is she angry at this moment.

"What's going on, why did they collide when everything was going well?" Wang Miheng asked casually.

Qiumei found out everything clearly, and just as Wang Miheng finished speaking, she said: "I heard that I was taking a walk in the imperial garden with my concubine, but unfortunately I was bumped into by a maid next to my concubine, and I have a relationship with my concubine." Pregnant women are naturally more delicate, so they ordered the maid to be tied up, and Empress Hui's face was ashen with anger."

Hearing Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng smiled: "That's right, Concubine Hui entered the palace early. Although she has been demoted by the emperor, no one dares to treat her slowly as long as Elder Brother is here. This is the same as Concubine Hui. It's only been a short time since she entered the palace, yet she dared to beat the maid beside her. It's up to the owner to beat a dog, so I'm afraid there will be troubles in this matter."

Qiumei has been in the palace for many years, so she naturally knows Huibi's temperament, so she just agrees: "That's right, Hefei just entered the palace, how can I know how powerful Huibi is."

Just as he was talking, he heard the voice of the eunuch Xiao Luzi outside: "My lady, Yin Guiren and Xu Chang came to pay my respects to my lady."

Hearing this voice, Wang Miheng just smiled and said, "Come in."

Yin Guiren and Xu Changzai were the two beautiful girls whom Wang Miheng called before. Although Chang Zai and Guiren were named, they were not favored by Kangxi.She nominally assumes the position of a master, but her life is not as good as that of a court lady who can stand on the stage.

These days, the two often come to the Qixiang Palace to sit and sit. Although they were a bit restrained at first, they can talk a few words after getting along.

The palace is very stuffy, so it's good to have someone to talk with.

Besides, everyone is here, so it’s not easy to see them.

Yin Guiren was dressed in a plain blue flag dress, with a jade hairpin inserted in his head, combing his hair twice, with some velvet flowers on it, looking very plain.

As for Xu Changzai, Xu Shi was younger, and he was dressed in a pale pink flag dress, which looked a little cute.

But in front of Wang Miheng, both of them behaved well, they only laughed and did not dare to be presumptuous.

"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Mi." The two blessed their bodies and bowed in unison.

"Get up, Bengong said long ago that there is no need to be so polite." Wang Miheng gave a little support and said.

"The empress is sympathetic, but the concubines dare not be disrespectful, they have lost their sense of propriety." Yigui spoke first.

After Wang Miheng heard this, he didn't say any more. In this palace, concubines without favor naturally only know how to measure.

Otherwise, if you lose your sense of proportion, you will not be far from death.

After chatting for a while, I couldn't help but talk about the matter of concubine Hui's personal maid being tied up by his concubine's palm.

"He concubine is pregnant with an emperor's heir, so it is naturally more precious." Speaking of the word "emperor's heir", Yigui could not hide her envy in her eyes.

"During the audition, the concubine was also fortunate to meet the concubine. She didn't look like the daughter of a military officer, as if she had stepped out of a Jiangnan painting." Xu Changzai said casually while thinking.

Hearing these words, Wang Miheng couldn't help but take another look at Xu Changzai. After all, he was young. If it was someone else, he would definitely be unhappy after hearing these words.

As soon as Xu Changzai's words fell, Yin Guiren's face changed slightly, and the subject changed, and he said: "Yes, she looks really quiet and weak, but she can't compare to your empress. She grew up in Suzhou since she was a child. Concubine I’ve heard people say that the scenery in Suzhou is beautiful, but I’m not lucky enough to see it.”

Wang Miheng smiled slightly: "When the emperor makes his southern tour, maybe he can take a look."

"Where is the empress, the status of the concubine is lowly, and she has been in the palace for so long, but she hasn't..." Yin Guiren spoke normally, but suddenly stopped, and forced a smile: "What does the concubine say? It upsets the empress."

She didn't say anything, but Wang Miheng knew what she was going to say, so he said a few words of relief.

After talking for a while, Yin Guiren saw that Wang Miheng was a little tired, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

After the two of them left, Wang Miheng told Qiumei: "Xu Chang is there, let someone take care of him, don't let anyone neglect you."

After listening to her words, Qiumei responded and said with a smile: "The master is kind-hearted, if it's someone else, I can't control so much."

Wang Miheng wasn't kind-hearted, he just looked at Xu Changzai who was really young, if he was in an ordinary family, he would still be loved at home.Now, in the palace, it depends on people's faces.

"Where is kindness, it's just a casual sentence."

"Yes, it's all right that Xu Chang is here, and the servant of Yin Guiren is not a simple one." Based on her flattering words just now, she knew that she was scheming.

It's just that I don't know how deep the city mansion is.

Hearing Qiumei's words, Wang Miheng only said: "In the future, when she comes, she will say that I will take care of the little elder brother, so just disappear."

"It can't be like this. As soon as she opened her mouth, the servant was tired and flustered. I don't know where there are so many twists and turns at such a young age."

Wang Miheng listened, and said casually: "It has nothing to do with age, maybe it's a family tradition."

Qiumei was speechless for a moment, master, can you stop being so sharp.

The days passed day by day, and it was not until May 15th that news came from the front that Kangxi's imperial conquest led to chaos in the Galdan army, and they fled northward. Conquered 3000 people and killed Galdan's wife Anu.Galdan fled west with only dozens of cavalry, and Sheng Jia will return to the dynasty soon.

As soon as this news came out, the harem became lively, thinking that the emperor was already on his way back to the capital, all the concubines were counting the days and looking forward to the early return of the emperor.

It took half a month to wait.

When Shengjia returned to the palace, all the concubines greeted him at the designated place.

A mighty team entered the Forbidden City.

"The emperor is here, kneel!" A shrill voice was heard from afar.

Wang Miheng stood at the front, dressed in a court uniform, knelt on the ground with the crowd, and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The loud shouts actually echoed in the Forbidden City. Kangxi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, raised his hand slightly: "Pingshen."

All the concubines stood up now, but without saying a few words, Kangxi went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

There were only a group of well-dressed concubines left, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they all went back to the palace.

That night, Kangxi stayed in the Qianqing Palace and did not turn over the sign.

When the news came, the concubines couldn't help feeling a little lonely.After thinking about it again, I felt that the emperor was tired from the journey, so naturally he wanted to take a good rest.

On the second day, all the concubines got up early in the morning, dressed themselves up, put on their best clothes, ordered the small kitchen to make snacks or porridge, and went to Qianqing Palace to pay their respects to the emperor.For a while, it became a scene of the harem.

Sitting behind the dragon case, Kangxi looked at the food boxes that Li Dequan brought in, opened them a few times, and then waved him to take them away.

Li Dequan responded, and just as he turned around, he heard Kangxi say: "Is there any food from Concubine Mi?"

When Li Dequan heard this, he hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to pick out a food box, and opened it with his own hands: "Your Majesty, the concubine Mi concubine gave me a mint soup with heart, the mint relieves fatigue, the empress really put her heart into it."

Seeing Kangxi's expression, Li Dequan quickly brought up the bowl of mint soup with heart.

Kangxi stroked the soup with a spoon, and said: "Decree, order Concubine Mi to accompany you in Qianqing Palace."

Li Dequan heard the words, responded, and hurriedly headed towards the Qixiang Palace.

When he heard the decree, Wang Miheng took a bath and changed his clothes again before arriving at the Qianqing Palace.

When standing at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Wang Miheng suddenly thought in her heart that she did not know how many times she had been to this Qianqing Palace.

Every time, he would be bullied by Kangxi Haosheng.

"Your Majesty, go in quickly." Li Dequan said with a smile on his face, bowing his body.

Wang Miheng pushed the door open, and at a glance he saw Kangxi sitting behind the dragon table with a memorial in his hand.

I have to say that being the emperor is really a hard job, and I just returned to the court yesterday, and now the memorial to the dragon case has been corrected.

Wang Miheng stepped forward slowly, and said softly: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kangxi already raised his head, listening to her greeting now, he couldn't help showing a smile.

"Get up."

Wang Miheng stood up, and without waiting for Kangxi to speak, he consciously walked behind the dragon case.

"There are so many discounts, the emperor really worked hard." Wang Miheng said in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart. Sure enough, it is not so easy to be a Ninth Five-Year Master.In comparison, it seems that it is better to be a concubine in the harem.It's enough to just think about how to compete for favor, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking on weekdays.

Hearing her words, Kangxi couldn't help but smiled, and said: "That's right, it's better for Mier to help me sort it out, so I can feel more relaxed."

Wang Miheng froze there immediately, looking at Kangxi with a little more defense in his eyes.

Seeing this, Kangxi laughed and said, "Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'm so scared to do this."

"The emperor's words are wrong. Since ancient times, concubines in the harem have not been allowed to take part in politics, and it's not like the courtiers don't know about it."

As Wang Miheng said, he took out a purse embroidered with gold thread, and took out a jade pendant from it.

"This jade pendant is the emperor's favorite thing, so the emperor should keep it."

Kangxi sat there without opening his mouth or answering, Wang Miheng's hand fell in mid-air, he couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.

Kangxi glanced at Wang Miheng, waved his hand, and said casually: "Take it away, aren't you afraid of being bullied? With this, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

Hearing Kangxi's words, Wang Miheng still didn't dare to accept, thinking in a daze, is Kangxi probing or probing?
Originally, I didn't say I would give it to her, I just borrowed it to wear it.

Thinking of this, Wang Miheng asked unconsciously.

"That day, the emperor didn't say to reward his concubines."

As soon as the words fell, Kangxi glared at her angrily.

"Take it, I never take back what I give away."

Ever since, this jade pendant was classified as a gift by Kangxi.

Listening to Wang Miheng, he felt deeply that Kangxi's strong words were unreasonable, seriously, really, really the imperial aura.

That night, Kangxi flipped Wang Miheng's sign.

When the news reached Yikun Palace, the pregnant He concubine knocked over the teacup by mistake.
