After resting for nearly an hour, I ate some almond cheese prepared by Hu Yu, with mint juice added to it. Wen Xi was hungry, so she drank most of it before setting off.
What was sitting now was not the small blue carriage used to escape from Bahrain, but a rather large box carriage inside. The incense burner inside had also been removed, and there were several layers of soft cushions under the body. Sure enough,
It can feel a little better.
Wen Xi's body was still limp, and he could only lie on Kangxi's body, feeling sleepy and half asleep. Kangxi stroked Wen Xi's back and said, "Be patient, and you will get better when you enter the officialdom."
He took out the mint and borneol snuff bottle provided by Gu Chengzong from his sleeve, and let Wen Xi smell it on Wen Xi's nostrils.
Entering the official road, it was already early in the morning. Wen Xi was so sleepy that she finally fell asleep on Kangxi's lap. When she woke up again, she was no longer in the carriage, but in a clean and elegant place.
In the small inn, the sun is warm outside and it is already noon.
Kangxi ordered people to bring all the refreshing side dishes to the room, and the guards had all changed into merchant attire. Kangxi smiled and said: "Originally, it would be shorter to go straight south, but to be on the safe side, we first diverted to Xilin Gol, and then
Return to Beijing again."
I vomited all the food last night, and now my stomach is empty, but I still have a good appetite. I ate a bowl of millet porridge, two milk dumplings, and some green vegetarian vegetables, which finally filled my stomach.
"The people who used to serve you in Chengqian Palace are still there. Just go back and live there with peace of mind. Tong Shizhen will ask people to replace them. Anyway, I also went to Changping Palace after returning to Beijing, but it was announced to the outside world for a month.
Just cover it up a little." Kangxi said slowly.
When Wen Xi was full, she put down her chopsticks and said, "I don't want to go back to the palace."
Kangxi couldn't help but get angry: "Why are you still making trouble? You are already pregnant. How can you not go back to the palace?!"
Wen Xi said: "It's really because I'm pregnant that I can't go back to the palace." Wen Xi put a hand on her belly, "Since I originally lived in Changping Palace, I can continue to live wherever I want in the future." She is now suffering from morning sickness.
The situation in the palace must be very different from a few years ago. Wen Xike didn't want to be pregnant and exhausted physically and mentally to fight with others! There are still two pregnant women in the palace. Can't she go back and cause trouble for herself?!
Kangxi frowned. Wen Xi continued: "I don't want anything to happen to this child."
Kangxi could only console him: "As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"
Wen Xi said angrily: "Didn't I almost die when I gave birth to Yulu Dai? We used all the midwives arranged by the emperor at the beginning? Aren't we still immune to those evil plots? I don't want to experience this kind of thing again.
Got it!"
Kangxi was immediately speechless.
Wen Xi walked to the window and opened the water chestnut window to get some air. This seemed to be an inconspicuous small town, not as lively as Lunuo City. It was more of a place for business than a city. It was built on the side of a yellow willow forest, and the scenery
It’s not bad, and the air is very clear. The Xilingol Grassland is no less than the Horqin Grassland.
Wen Xi breathed in the fresh air and said: "The emperor has had so many princes and princesses. I don't know if they have kept statistics. Only about half of the children born survive. There are many more who will not be born. I
This pregnancy has severe morning sickness. I don’t have the energy to fight with them, and I don’t want to fight! I just want to have a safe and stable place, and I’ll talk about it after the baby is born.”
"Chang Parallel Palace is a very good place, with warm winters and cool summers, and a pleasant climate. It is a good place to raise a baby. Anyway, it is also close to the Forbidden City. The emperor can visit me at any time." Wen Xi explained her idea.
Moreover, the safety of the palace was not within the reach of the concubines in the harem. Looking at her "living in the palace for a long time" and no one found out that there was no one inside, we know that Kangxi's control over the palace was extraordinary.
After leaving Bahrain, the march slowed down and took the official road. Wen Xi's morning sickness was relieved and her appetite was much better. However, Kangxi never agreed to Wen Xi's desire to stay in Changping Palace.
No veto.
"Yulu Dai has to be held by me all the time when he sleeps at night. I don't know if he will get used to it in the palace." Although the distance to the capital is getting closer and closer, Wen Xi has also made up her mind to live in Changping Palace.
You may not see Yu Ludai for a while.
"If you are not at ease, just go back to the palace." Kangxi said.
Wen Xi had already sensed Kangxi's stubbornness, but once she made up her mind, it was not easy to change. Wen Xi shrugged and said, "But I'm afraid of death." Then she tugged at Kangxi's sleeves and said, "Let's
Yu Ludai should also come to the palace, otherwise I won’t worry."
Kangxi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wen Xi held her fingers and said, "And my mother-in-law. I haven't seen her in almost four years. She has to come to the palace to see me. There aren't as many rules in the palace as there are in the palace. I have to let her go when I'm pregnant."
Come and spend more time with me! My sister-in-law has also given birth to two daughters, but I haven’t met them yet! The two nieces are about the same age as Yuludai, so they come just in time to keep Yuludai company. Yuludai loves to have sex.
It's so noisy and the palace is so restrictive, she must not be used to it!"
Kangxi looked displeased: "How did you know that I would promise you so much?"
Wen Xi hurriedly showed a flattering smile, stretched out her belly and said, "Don't you want me to give you a son?!"
Kangxi glanced at his gentle belly: "How are you sure he is a son? What if he is a daughter?"
Wen Xi smiled coquettishly, leaned into his ear and said, "Even if this baby is not good, there will be another baby!" Anyway, you can coax her first, otherwise she will default on you later! Wen Xi is not a good bird anyway!
Kangxi hummed, with a smile on his face.
Wen Xi shook Kangxi's arm: "If you want someone to give birth to a son, there must be a safe place to give birth to him, right?"
Kangxi snorted, noncommittal. Wen Xi knew that this was considered acquiescence. Excited, she kissed him on the face and said, "Remember to bring Yu Ludai to the palace!"
The carriage moved slowly, far from the speed of Hu Yu's six hundred a day trip. It took three times the time to finally reach Changping Palace. Although Wen Xi had been away from the palace for several years, Changping Palace was still the same and had not changed at all.
.
Last time, for the convenience of bathing in hot springs, I chose Mingquan Palace, which is close to Shuqiong's room. But now that I am pregnant, it is not suitable to bathe in hot springs, so I chose the East Palace area, which is far away from the hot springs, and chose Qiu Wu Palace. There are many sycamores planted here.
It's most refreshing and pleasant. Now that the days are getting warmer, it's a good place to enjoy the cool air.
When Wen Xi came, the palace chief, Jing Fulu, had already arranged everything properly. He chose a fair but average maid in the palace to serve him, and even sent his own godson Xiao Shunzi to serve him. Such flattery must be half the price.
It's probably because Kangxi came in person.
Kangxi held the gentle hand and said with some reluctance, "I have been away from the palace for more than ten days. I feel cold because I asked the prince to supervise the country. I must go back now."
Wen Xi nodded, hoping that Kangxi would leave quickly, but she still said obediently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of the baby."
"Remember to write to me every day and ask Jing Fulu to deliver it." Kangxi warned, "I will bring Yulu Dai to see you next time I come."
"It's not appropriate for Yuludai to live in the Qianqing Palace. It's better to move out as soon as possible." It's so jealous. The only one who grew up in the Qianqing Palace when he was young is the prince. Although Yuludai is a princess, there is no chance to compete for the throne. , but it was enough to arouse the prince's dissatisfaction. Wen Xi was pregnant now, so she naturally had to try to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Kangxi patted the back of his warm and soft hand and said, "I know that I won't let her live in Qianqing Palace for too long." He then said, "I will ask Liang Jiugong to arrange for the people who served you in the past to be dispatched to serve you."
That is naturally the best. The clothes are not as good as those of the new couple, and the old people are naturally the most relieved to serve around them. Wen Xi said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be too troublesome. The young girl I brought into the palace at the beginning is still there." A few eunuchs, such as Aunt Fufu, Aunt Rui, Xiaoluzi, and Xiaoenzi will be enough." The girls of the Qing generation are not considered girls now. They are almost over twenty years old. They are not as good as Pine, Bamboo and Plum. Naturally, they have to wait until You can't leave the palace until you are twenty-five years old. At that time, you can be a stepmother, you can stay as a nanny, and you can also leave the palace to be a nun for the sisters of the Niu Hulu family. In short, you have a way out, but you are not as lucky as Song Zhumei.
After seeing off Kangxi, he was warm and exhausted. He ate some light dinner and told Hu Yu that outsiders were not allowed to enter the inner room. He held a piece of snow lotus petal in his mouth and gradually fell asleep due to exhaustion.
The bed is a red sandalwood bed, like an independent small room. The four corners and edge of the bed are seated on a square Xumi-style pedestal with ten pillars. The front door surround of the bed is carved with a pattern of broken branches and flowers. The bed surround and the bed The tooth relief has a curling cloud pattern, which is exquisite and gorgeous.
The purple glazed bead curtain is carved with a lotus pattern, which means fertility, and the lilac curtain is also embroidered with gold threads with grapes, pomegranate patterns, and auspicious cloud pattern curling, all of which have good meanings. The pillow is not a hard jade pillow. , but Wen Xi’s favorite millet jade core, and it is also mixed with bamboo leaves and mint, which is very elegant and has the effect of sleeping peacefully. The pillowcase is not smooth satin, but fine Hangzhou fine silk, and the pillow is made of yellow The silk thread is used to embroider the peony pattern, which is not rough at all.
The small world inside Babu's bed was filled with spiritual mist. Hu Yu sat under the bed and practiced cross-legged, while Wen Xi had already gone to meet Duke Zhou.
One night is enough to consume all the spiritual mist. Hu Yu woke up early, but was quiet all the time. It was not until he saw Wen Xi waking up that he rolled up the curtains and curtains. The maid waiting outside heard a bell inside. Hearing the sound of the bell's glazed bead curtains clashing, he opened the door and filed in from both sides of the huanghuali wood Wanfu Ruyi screen. Wen Xi was presented with toiletries and many novel flags for her to choose from. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
