"Sister Namu came to visit the noble concubine, why didn't you call me?" Concubine Fu said as soon as she came in, she was full of childish words.
Concubine Xuan covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a deep smile: "If you don't scream, you will come, right?" These days, every time she comes to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Fu has to step in and announce her.
The concubines are all used to it.
Concubine Fu choked immediately, biting her lip with a look of aggrievement on her face.
"Your stupid sister is kidding you!" Wen Xi chuckled and said jokingly.
However, Concubine Xuan stood up and said to Wen Xifu Shen: "I have been disturbing the imperial concubine for a long time. The imperial concubine is also tired. Concubine Xuan and Concubine Fu will come to visit another day."
Without waiting for Concubine Fu to express her opinion, Wen Xi closed her eyes with a look of exhaustion, waved her hands and said, "Please give me a gift, Concubine Fu."
So, all the Fu concubines said a word before they were invited out. As soon as they left the palace, Fu concubines had a look of annoyance on their faces: "Sister Namu, we are all Horqin's princesses, why did you do this?"
Xuan Bin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What have I done?"
"You were favored for no reason, and you didn't even tell me!" Concubine Fu said angrily, with more of a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Concubine Xuan burst into laughter: "When you were favored, you never told me."
"You -" Concubine Fu suddenly suppressed her emotions and her face flushed red, "These days, the imperial concubine doesn't want to see me anymore. It must be you who said bad things about me!"
Xuan Bin pursed her lips and said: "Since you know that you are not welcome, don't stick it on yourself like a dog-skin plaster and make others dislike you for nothing!"
"Hmph! Don't think that I don't know your plot! Don't try to replace me!" As she said this, Fu Bin raised her head proudly and turned to give Xuan Bin a slap on the back of her head.
In March, with the sudden warmth, the branches and leaves are turning green.
After changing into a ventilated shoulder carriage, I went to Cining Palace to pay my respects to Xiaozhuang. It turned out that my warm belly was already five months old. Her lower abdomen was slightly raised, no different from ordinary pregnant women, except that her face was rosy and slightly
Just to gain weight.
Because Xiaozhuang didn't say anything, Wen Xi still had to kowtow with his hands on his belly. Fortunately, there were mats on the ground. However, Wen Xi's body became heavier, so it was a bit difficult to salute. Moreover, kowtowing and bending down can easily cause pressure on the abdomen.
Xiaozhuang, who was sitting on top, seemed to have not seen her. He watched the concubines bowing politely without shouting. They lowered their heads and drank tea. Suddenly, he turned around and said to Aunt Sumala: "Concubine De.
You've been sick for more than two months and you still haven't gotten better?"
Aunt Sumala shook her head and sighed: "Every day, there is no improvement with the decoction and medicine."
Xiaozhuang hummed and said: "You will take the imperial doctor to Yonghe Palace later to have a look. She is always so sick and it is not good. But Concubine De is still virtuous. She is sick and can't sleep with her. She doesn't use it to pester her.
The emperor always asks his concubine to serve her in bed." As he said that, he looked at Wen Xi who was kneeling at the head of the concubines, and said coldly: "Concubine Wen Xi, you should follow suit! The Ai family
I heard that the emperor stayed at your place last night?!"
Wen Xi protected her stomach with one hand and had been kneeling for a quarter of an hour. Her body was unavoidably swaying a little. She bit her lip and lowered her head to admit her mistake and said, "I know I was wrong!"
"Hmph!" Xiaozhuang put the tea cup on the table and said coldly: "What's the use of just knowing your mistakes?! Knowing your mistakes and not correcting them is your usual style!"
Wen Xi felt resentful in her heart. She had to lower her head under the eaves, so she could only hold on and said: "Please beg the Empress Dowager to punish me."
Xiaozhuang had an unhappy look on his face, "It's not that the Ai family wants to embarrass you, there is no reason for any pregnant concubine to ask the emperor to stay with him all night! And last night was not the first time! The Ai family is worried about your pregnancy.
I'm pregnant, so I kept suppressing it! I didn't expect you to become more and more ignorant!"
"It's my fault!" Wen Xi lowered her head deeply. She couldn't look directly at Xiaozhuang, so the hatred and anger in her eyes could no longer be concealed. Then she said loudly: "It's my concubine who is at fault. He Gong
Sisters have no fault, so please let the other concubines be equal!" Behind Wen Xi, many concubines were still kneeling!
After Wen Xi died, the concubine Dai Jia couldn't help but plead: "The Empress Dowager has always been the most kind and lenient, please forgive me this time! At least you have to worry about the heir in her belly!"
When Xiaozhuang heard this, he snorted coldly, "If the Ai family talks to the imperial concubine again, why are you interrupting? It's getting more and more unruly!"
Concubine Cheng kowtowed hurriedly and begged: "I have violated the rules and I am willing to accept the punishment. I just ask the Empress Dowager to put the emperor's heir first, and the rules second!"
Concubine Xuan also kowtowed and said, "The Empress Dowager used to protect Concubine Wen Xi the most. Why don't we let Concubine get up first and teach her slowly?"
Wen Xi suddenly raised her head and said clearly: "I made a mistake, I am just punished by kneeling down. I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to let all the sisters who have no faults be freed!"
After hearing this, Xiaozhuang's face turned red with anger, but he had to hold it down and said: "Everyone, get up! If the Ai family continues to be polite, they will become the number one sinners of the Qing Dynasty! Su Mo'er, go and help Wen Xi.
Concubine, get up."
"I don't dare, my concubines, thank you so much for your grace!" Then the concubines stood up unsteadily one by one.
Aunt Sumala also came forward to help Wen Xi, Wen Xi smiled and said: "Can you help me, Aunt Su????" As she stood up, her eyes suddenly closed, and her body fell straight backwards, just in time to fall.
In the arms of Concubine Cheng.
"The imperial concubine fainted——" Concubine Cheng exclaimed.
All the concubines were in a panic, but Xiaozhuang was extremely calm. He raised a sarcastic smile on his lips and said calmly: "What are you yelling about? Help us to the next room. Su Mo'er, go and ask the three imperial doctors to come with you."
Come and check your pulse!" They invited three people at once. They were sure that Wen Xi was faking fainting, so they asked them to diagnose her. This confirmed Wen Xi's accusation of faking fainting!
While Qing Lan supported Wen Xi, she secretly checked Wen Xi's pulse. Wen Xi naturally pretended to be dizzy. She was wearing a cloak, so naturally she couldn't notice the movements under her clothes. Wen Xi closed her eyes and her body fell weakly to others.
Qinglan understood and immediately knelt down, kowtowed and cried: "Please allow me to give the imperial concubine acupuncture first to stabilize the fetus!"
Xiaozhuang hummed and said solemnly: "Hurry up, if you make a mistake, I will be the first to chop off your head."
So, several maids and maids carried Wenxi into Nuange Pavilion with all their hands and feet. Qinglan carried all the silver needles used for acupuncture with her. Wenxi lay flat on the soft couch of Nuange, and she quickly took out the silver needles and inserted them into Nuan Pavilion.
The needles are applied quickly and smoothly on the forehead, neck, arms, etc. The technique is more focused than usual on giving people a dazzling visual impact.
The concubines didn’t know acupuncture, so they just saw the medical girl flying like a butterfly with her bare hands, which was extremely dazzling, and felt that it was powerful. Concubine Shen whispered: "I originally only knew that the medical girl of the imperial concubine was good at making medicinal meals, but I didn’t expect that acupuncture is also good.
So awesome!"
Xuan Bin pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Isn't it true that if you don't have any ability, you can let the ancient imperial doctor be accepted as a closed disciple?"
After a series of acupuncture, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Qinglan's forehead. Although most of it was "show", this "show" was also very tiring! She just had to apply the acupuncture as soon as possible, otherwise the doctors would come later.
If you perform it in front of the imperial doctors, I'm afraid the secret will be exposed, but luckily the concubines don't understand.
Wen Xi still closed her eyes and pretended to be dizzy, not moving at all. The three imperial doctors invited by Aunt Sumala also hurried in. One of them was Qinglan's senior brother Gu Chengzong, and the other two were slightly younger.
, looking about thirty or forty years old. After coming in to say hello, Gu Chengzong politely asked the other two to feel his pulse first, and he did take a good look at his younger junior sister Qinglan.
After the first imperial doctor took her pulse, he immediately exclaimed: "The fetus of the imperial concubine is weak, which is very bad! From today on, you must concentrate on raising the fetus, and it is best not to go out!"
The diagnosis of the second imperial physician was not very different from that of the first imperial physician. Until the end when Gu Chengzong checked his pulse, he looked at Qinglan with a calm expression and said, "Please take good care of your fetus."
Qinglan smiled back, Gu Chengzong must have seen some clues, but he is an extremely smart person, so he naturally knows that he must not be smarter than others when he should act stupid!
After hearing the reports from the three imperial doctors, Xiaozhuang couldn't help but frown deeply: "Is it really so serious?!" She didn't believe that Concubine Wen Xi was seriously ill, but the joint diagnosis of the three imperial doctors couldn't be wrong.
Even though Gu Chengzong and Cheng Qiangong have a close relationship, the other two were just invited by Aunt Sumala, so they couldn't be bribed! Xiaozhuang is a Mongolian after all, so he naturally doesn't know the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
.
Gu Chengzong looked at the other two who were sweating anxiously, but he was smiling in his heart. If he hadn't known that his little junior sister was beside the imperial concubine, he would have been deceived! The pulse was weak, especially the fetal pulse.
, who would think that there is something wrong with the fetal appearance, right? However, there is a special needle technique in acupuncture that can temporarily change the pulse. It is said that this technique has been lost, but I didn't expect that my junior sister is proficient in it!
Aunt Sumala said hurriedly: "The imperial concubine came here in a carriage today, and she must have been blown by the cold wind! After all, she is already five months pregnant, and she really needs to take good care of her!"
Xiaozhuang also looked a little angry and said displeasedly: "Then move her back to your palace quickly!"
Since she had to move, she couldn't sit on the original carriage. Concubine Cheng used her own sedan chair to drive Wen Xi back to Chengqian Palace. After returning to the palace, Wen Xi faintly woke up and looked at Concubine Cheng who had come with her.
, Concubine Shen and Concubine Xuan showed a smile and said: "I am safe and sound."
Concubine Xuan understood immediately after saying "Concubine Cheng". Concubine Shen did not understand. She stroked her chest and said with lingering fear: "Concubine is finally awake! There was no warning just now. She fainted as soon as she said she fainted. It's not like she was going to faint."
It’s so scary!”
Concubine Cheng pulled Concubine Shen's sleeve and said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to report to the emperor, so I will leave first."
Concubine Xuan also smiled and said: "Miss Qinglan's acupuncture skills really amaze me??? Haha, concubine, take your leave."
With a warm smile, she ordered the people below to see them off. After all, she was a "weak" person, so it was better to continue to lie on the bed "weak"! Naturally, she had to do her best in acting. Kangxi should have gone to court by now, but
Her face was warm and slightly rosy, but she didn't look "weak" at all, so she asked Song'er to get some pearl powder, spread some on her face, and put on makeup to make herself look really "weak".
Then just wait for Kangxi to open! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
