The holy driver left the northwest extension building and headed towards Huichun Villa.
Kangxi previously sent a message to Concubine Hui, but Concubine Yi did not send a message here.
Because I’m not sure if I can make it through.
Now, on his way back to Qingxi Bookstore, he wanted to go and have a look.
Thinking that Concubine Hui had just come out to pick him up, Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong: "Tell the person in front that you don't need to be whipped."
Liang Jiugong responded, walked a few steps quickly, and sent a message to Luan Yiwei in front.
This also means showing sympathy for Yi Fei.
At dusk, the Holy Master quietly arrived outside Huichun Villa.
Kangxi got off the chariot and went directly in.
The eunuch at the door was about to kneel down to say hello, but Kangxi stopped him with his hand.
In the room, Peilan was persuading Concubine Yi, saying: "Master ordered me to make the ravioli that Brother Seventeen loves to eat. Why don't you leave Brother Seventeen to eat here? Brother is also thinking about the empress. He's here in the afternoon.
Twice.”
Concubine Yi sighed and said: "I'll eat the same food if I send it over. Let's separate slowly while we don't remember much, so as not to bear the stress of being separated later."
Peilan paused and said, "Shall I bring little brother over?"
Concubine Yi shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Qi knows it's time to feel sad, so let's do this for now."
Peilan felt extremely distressed and said: "Master can't bear to leave Seventeenth Brother, why don't you beg the Emperor?"
Concubine Yi said sadly: "If you don't move this year, you will move the palace in two years. It's the same..."
That's what he said, but both the master and the servant knew that something was different.
This little baby who was moved to Yikun Palace when he turned one year old, watching him grow up little by little, and being such a cute and well-behaved child, who would let him go?
Kangxi paused at the door and stepped harder.
The master and servant looked at the door and saw Kangxi standing upright in the sunset.
Concubine Yi, who was leaning lazily, immediately became happy when she saw this, stood up and came out to greet him, saying: "The emperor is here!"
Kangxi said: "It's dark, why don't you light the lamp?"
Peilan took the palace servants with him and went immediately to light the lamps.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "It's hot and I'm sleepy, so I'll be lying a little longer."
The lamp in the corner of the room was lit.
Perrin also took the candlestick and placed it on the eucalyptus table.
Under the candlelight, Concubine Yi's little face was smiling and glowing pink.
Kangxi could talk about Chengqing frankly to Concubine Hui, but he didn't want to mention Brother Eleven in front of Concubine Yi.
In the year when Brother Eleven died, Concubine Yi's pulse became seriously ill and she almost died.
He mentioned the ninth elder brother and said: "Lao Jiu has returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have arranged for Zhang Ying's son Zhang Tingzhan to be his attendant. Let him study for a few years and then go to the imperial court, so as not to go there now.
It's such a mess, and I still want to get angry with those ministers..."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "It's strange that a person who didn't like reading since he was a child can change his mind at such an old age! It's the emperor's arrangement. He is the emperor's son. I have given up long ago, so I don't want to follow him.
Worry, save endless money..."
Kangxi added: "I have also inquired about the fifth daughter-in-law's situation. The due date is around the Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope that she will be the legitimate grandson of the emperor, so that it will be easier for her to live in the same room in the future."
Concubine Yi didn't know what to say.
Who doesn’t look forward to grandchildren?
But before landing, no one can tell whether it is a boy or a girl.
If I am sure now, if I turn around and it is not my brother, the emperor will be dissatisfied, and there is no way he will anger Wufujin.
She smiled and said: "This is the beginning, and there will be more after that. I still remember clearly that when the emperor pointed out Wufujin, in addition to the upright family tradition, it was also because she had several uncles and several brothers.
"
A daughter follows her mother, and after she becomes pregnant, she will have a baby.
The daughter-in-law whom Kangxi chose himself certainly remembered this point.
Just because there was no movement in the first three years, I forgot about this.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Well, it doesn't matter if you are the eldest daughter or the eldest son. Once you have a child, your life will be different. The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about them..."
When it was time to eat, Concubine Yi said: "I asked the kitchen to prepare small wontons today. Would you like to try them, Your Majesty?"
Kangxi said: "Then give it a try. You don't need to ask the kitchen to add more dishes. Just eat whatever is available."
Concubine Yi responded and ordered Peilan to go to the dining room to pass the meal.
Kangxi felt that the room seemed a little different. When he looked around, he found that the wooden horse in the corner and the cloth tiger on the kang were gone. There were also many small pillows and towels for children, and they were all put away.
Already.
The room suddenly became much emptier.
Kangxi didn't know how to comfort her. He sympathized with Concubine Yi's maternal heart, but didn't want to change his mind.
At this moment, Peilan brought someone to prepare a meal.
In addition to two bowls of small wontons, there are four side dishes, sesame spinach, sweet and sour radish shreds, egg rolls, and stir-fried diced chicken with soy sauce.
Yifei's bowl of wontons had a wider soup and fewer wontons; the wontons served by Kangxi were more like a bowl of dumplings.
Kangxi glanced at Concubine Yi's bowl and said, "Isn't this too little?"
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "I love to gain weight, so I always eat less at night. I eat all the delicious food at lunch."
Kangxi didn't say much, and the emperor and his concubine had a meal of wontons.
After putting down Kuaizi, Kangxi said: "I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Concubine Yi sent her outside, watched Kangxi get on the chariot, watched the holy driver leave, and then helped Peilan turn around.
It always feels weird, but I don't know where it is.
It doesn't sound like Lao Jiu is causing trouble, so there's nothing to worry about...
The Holy Master did not return to Qingxi Bookstore, but went directly out of the small east gate. There was already a carriage and guards waiting behind.
Kangxi was sitting in the carriage, looking a little dazed.
He didn't know where Concubine Rong came from. She spent a lot of money just to bribe the little eunuch next to the prince...
He didn't know what else Concubine Rong had done besides this.
No matter how many reasons there were, since Concubine Rong took action against Yuqing Palace, she would have to suffer the consequences.
The carriage will enter the city before the city gate closes at the third quarter of Xu Zheng.
For others, it would be easier to enter the imperial city at this time, but the palace gate would not be open.
Here in Kangxi, the journey was smooth, through Di'anmen, Shenwumen, and into the Forbidden City.
Kangxi walked, took the guards and eunuchs, and came directly to Zhongcui Palace.
At this moment, it was already the second hour of Haizheng, the inner court had been locked, and the palace doors had to be opened again.
When we arrived at Zhongcui Palace, the moon was about to rise, and the stars were twinkling in the night sky.
There was something deserted in Zhongcui Palace.
There is a light in the west corner of the main hall, which is the inner Buddhist hall of Concubine Rong.
Kangxi asked someone to stop the eunuchs and palace attendants who were about to go in to make announcements, and then opened the door and entered Zhongcui Palace.
As soon as we arrived at Xicijian, there were voices of doubt in Xichaojian, and the voices were very soft.
Kangxi walked to the door and heard Baba clearly.
"Bodhisattva, am I going crazy? My eyesight is dazzled and my ears are dying. Everything I hear sounds like the emperor's footsteps..."
Concubine Rong knelt on the ground, picked up Buddha beans, and murmured: "It's time for my ears to die. I'm fifty, and I've been in the palace for forty years..."
Kangxi stood behind Concubine Rong and said, "It's me, I'm here."
Concubine Rong did not stand up, but turned her head directly.
Kangxi seemed to have returned to forty years ago, when he saw the teenage little princess in the Buddhist hall of the Empress Dowager.
Concubine Rong looked directly at Kangxi and said, "It turns out that it's not my concubine who is stunned. It's the emperor who is really here."
There was no emotion or anger on Kangxi's face. He looked down at Concubine Rong and said, "You should know why I came..."
Concubine Rong smiled and nodded, with a very peaceful look on her face, and said: "I have been stupid for most of my life, now I should be a sensible person."
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the ground, without the initial anger, and said: "Ji Nai, you should know that I am a prince, and no one can interfere with me..."
Ji Nai is the nickname of Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was still smiling, with deep sadness in her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty knows, I'm afraid I'm going to be a fool. At the end of the day, I'll ask my mistress in person, except for the ones mixed with musk."
Rose Perfume, several young brothers are gone, is it because of her..."
Kangxi was stunned and said: "Musk perfume?"
Concubine Rong leaned forward and pulled out the drawer under the Buddha statue. There were two bottles of perfume lying in it.
One is an old-style perfume bottle, and the other looks like a modern perfume bottle.
Concubine Rong fumbled with two bottles of perfume and said: "I am timid. After meeting the chickens in the dining room, I didn't eat chicken for half a year. I also want to try it with someone who is a housekeeper.
But I don’t want to and can’t bear it, so let the prince try. It will be considered as cause and effect. If it doesn’t harm anyone, it’s a false alarm; if it harms someone, it’s the fruit planted by the master and his wife..."
Speaking of this, she looked at Kangxi without fear and said: "I know that the Crown Prince is noble, and this is a capital crime. But if I don't understand this matter, I won't live long..."
As she spoke, she took off the hairpin on her head, revealing the gray hair underneath and the top of her head, which was so sparse that her scalp was exposed. She said, "I can't sleep all night long. My hair is falling out in handfuls. Close your eyes."
, that is Chengrui, that is Saiyinchahun..."
Kangxi took a breath and said: "You Hu Tu! You should tell me and let me investigate this matter. They... are also my sons..."
Concubine Rong grabbed the perfume bottle and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty wants to say, maybe it's not the Mistress, maybe it's someone else, but Your Majesty, I remember clearly that the Mistress also liked rose perfume at the beginning, but since she learned
I liked it so much that after I rewarded it, I switched to sweet-scented osmanthus perfume. This way of giving in to inferiority was frightening. I was so trembling because of this that I wanted to kowtow and apologize. The mistress even comforted me, saying that it wasn’t that bad.
She is so particular, she loves osmanthus, but not only does she no longer use rose perfume, but no one else has the same smell, and this has become my concubine’s exclusive..."
At that time, she thought it was a compliment, so she became more respectful.
But this is a long grace reward, and I dare not use it.
It's not that I didn't think there was something wrong, but except for the third son who was born, the other children were all three or four years old, and they were born before their eyes.
Who would have thought that there would be something wrong with this...
Even if the taste has changed before and after, I still think that these are all sent by the customs, not supplied by a foreign merchant, nor produced in the same place...
