After the newborn monkey was washed three times, its redness gradually faded away, revealing its fair and tender skin. It became whiter and whiter day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was white and rosy, as beautiful as a peach.
He poked his son's tender little face, and the little guy's big black pearl-like eyes looked at Wen Xi, who smiled happily, and there was another interesting thing.
"Master, the Crown Princess wants to see you." Zhu'er opened the curtain and came in to report.
Although the Crown Princess has not been officially registered yet, the title has already been used. Wen Ru's mind was entirely on her son, without raising her head, she said: "I am still confinement, let her go back." Confinement.
Guarjia couldn't help but know that she couldn't see anyone during her pregnancy. She was just impatient, right? That's why she kept asking to see her.
It's just... Wen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. Wen Xi had already told the maids and eunuchs who were in the palace that day not to tell anyone about the sachet. But among them was a nun sent by Kangxi to take care of her fetal appearance. Kangxi must have known about it.
.But how did Guarjia know? If she was just a pawn being used, she shouldn't have known that the sachet was harmful! If she was involved, then she shouldn't have come and just pretended not to know the inside story!
Wen Xi suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is there anyone else here to see you?"
Zhu'er shook his head and said: "Yesterday, all the concubines and concubines of the palace were here for the third bath. And this morning, Nanny Xu who was next to Concubine Rong came to ask for instructions. Several people from the Internal Affairs Office who were detained in Shenxing Division were in charge of the items.
How to deal with it?"
This month it was Concubine Rong's turn to manage the Sixth Palace... Wen Xi couldn't help but become suspicious and said, "Go and ask Concubine Cheng to come and talk to me."
Although it has been many years, I can still remember clearly the circumstances of Shun Guiren Song's birth: Dong Guiren sent a batch of small clothes embroidered by his own hands. There was a light and elegant fragrance on them. Ordinary people could smell it without any serious problems, but they were pregnant.
Mrs. Song smelled it, but her fetus immediately became restless, causing dystocia and massive hemorrhage. If it hadn't been for the gentle Snow Lotus Pills, Mrs. Song would have died a long time ago.
What happened in the first place was obviously not done by noble Dong. However, Concubine Cheng secretly investigated, but found nothing. It was as if it was done by Dong! In the past, Dai Jia was already a concubine, but it was a pity that she had obtained palace power.
It was too late, and the power in the palace was far less than that of the previous concubines, so the matter became a mystery. Later, Shun Guiren, Qi Buchen and his daughter were never assassinated again, so the matter was settled.
Now, Wen Xi smelled almost the same smell as before. She encountered almost the same experience as the Song family! She couldn't help but think of what happened back then again.
When the Song family escaped death, everyone thought it was the work of the gentle medical girl Qinglan. Song Guiren also gave birth in nine months. Although it was nearly a month earlier than the scheduled delivery date, it was common sense to give birth in nine months.
The incident, and the birth was just a princess. It did not attract much attention. This incident gradually faded away, but now it has to be mentioned again.
Wen Xi had just given birth a few days ago. She sat on the bed with a month-old bandage tied on her head and led Concubine Cheng into the bedroom to talk. Wen Xi dismissed everyone except Hu Yu and Zhu'er. Concubine Cheng
He also ordered the palace maid who followed him to wait outside.
"What happened back then..." Concubine Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Shun Guiren and her daughter are really lucky. If the empress hadn't been here, I'm afraid..." The unlucky words that followed were never uttered.
Wen Xi held a cup of milk tea in her hand. She drank it warmly and said: "Now that I think about it carefully, the Song family was just a Chang Zai and a Han army flag. Even though she was favored, she was not born well enough to be able to do anything.
What kind of threat does she pose? The Song family has always been modest in dealing with things, so she would not have such a grudge. Now that I think about it, the only reason should be because she is a member of your palace."
Concubine Cheng was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "What the imperial concubine means is..."
Wen Xi handed the dried tea cup to Zhu'er and said slowly: "Brother Seven's foot disease is also his great blessing!"
Concubine Cheng nodded and agreed. At least the seventh elder brother has not been harmed since he was a child. Which of the other elder brothers didn't grow up after three disasters?
"Ms. Song is pregnant. There are rumors in the palace that she is pregnant with an elder brother. If she really has a son, it will be your son. If you have a healthy son, I'm afraid many people will refuse!
"
Concubine Cheng nodded and said: "I have nothing to do with the world. It's just that others are afraid that they won't believe me, so they will take action against Mr. Shun." As she said this, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that while the queen was in the palace, Mr. Dong fell ill and passed away.
, otherwise we can check it out now.”
"Died of illness? Maybe it's not that simple..." Wen Xi said. It was well known to everyone that Dong and Guo Guiren had a good relationship at the time, so they were at odds with Concubine Yi. Now Guo Guiren is just a submissive and obedient person in Concubine Yi's palace.
An unfavored existence, without the help of Dong's wisdom, she has long been a person who is not worthy of attention.
"Dong Guiren's death... must have something to do with Concubine Yi." Concubine Cheng suddenly said, her tone very sure.
"Concubine Yi?!" Concubine Yi has two sons. For the long-term plan, it is indeed possible to do such a thing! What's more, she and the Dong family are not on good terms, so it is not impossible to use the Dong family to achieve some goals. However,
Why did it take so many years to kill Dong Guiren?
Concubine Cheng recalled: "Although there is no evidence, one month before Dong's death, he had close contact with Guo Guiren of Yikun Palace, and I don't know what he was planning. Not long after, Guo Guiren made a mistake and was imprisoned in her by Concubine Yi.
In the palace. Then Mr. Dong died of illness."
Concubine Yi... none of the women in the harem is clean. The reason for the lack of guarantee is that the Dong family found out something about Concubine Yi being unclean. Otherwise, Concubine Dong and Concubine Guo had repeatedly plotted against Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi was also
He had never killed anyone? Why was he so cruel all of a sudden? Of course, it is also possible that the Dong family and the Guo family plotted against Concubine Yi again and offended her, so they acted so cruelly.
This time, similar spices were used, which caused dystocia. Wen Xi had to suspect that it was the same person. This time, the target was probably her, followed by the child in her belly. Wen Xi's children are still young, if
She died in childbirth. The young Yulu Dai and Yin Lu had no ability to protect themselves. Children without the protection of their biological mothers were like meat on the chopping board and could be assassinated at any time! Especially since Yin Lu was not yet six years old, the intermediary
I have to find a biological mother for him. I'm afraid I don't know who got the advantage.
If Concubine Yi is said to have done it, she does have this motive. Which woman in the harem has no extravagant hopes for the queen's position, or even the position of queen mother in the future? What's more, because of Ruyan's incident, Chengqian Palace and Yikun Palace have already been in trouble.
Stiff!
Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi are all suspected of getting rid of a powerful opponent for their children! These three people have experienced many years in the palace, and their influence in the harem is intertwined. They also have the ability to do such a thing!
Wen Xi couldn't help but have a headache. The three concubines Hui Yirong all had sons, and they were sophisticated and calculating people. Wen Xi had tried her best to avoid becoming hostile to them from the beginning. But now she has two sons and one daughter.
.And occupying the position of imperial concubine has indeed posed a threat to their son! It will only be a matter of time before they become hostile.
Except for the concubine's seventh elder brother who is not destined to be a concubine, Concubine Hui has the eldest elder brother, Concubine Rong has the third elder brother, and Concubine Yi has the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. Who doesn't have that idea? This was also the case when Wen Xi Yili
One of the reasons why he took Dai Jia as his wing and promoted her to become a concubine.
Concubine Yi is naturally suspicious. But Wen Xi is also suspicious of Concubine Rong. Back then, the third elder brother planned to let Wen Xi's niece Ruyan hook up with Wen Xi's "son" Yinzhen, which shows that he has no interest in Chengqian Palace.
What kind of intentions? Among the concubines who accompanied Mulan at the time, there was Concubine Rong, but I don’t know what role she played in this matter?
"Master, the Crown Princess wants to see you." Zhu'er, the person who reported the report, was a little helpless and tired.
Wen Xi let out a long sigh and said, "I can't live well during the confinement period."
Concubine Cheng smiled gently and said: "Since the sachet was given to the Sixth Princess by the Crown Princess, let's listen to what she has to say."
Speaking of which, the status of this "Crown Princess" who has not yet been formally registered in the palace is really embarrassing. She is the mistress of Yuqing Palace and the future mother of the country. But she is surrounded by a large group of concubines and has no power in her hands. What?
I can't control it either.
Seeing the Crown Princess come in, Concubine Cheng stood up. Although the Crown Princess was lower in seniority, her status was no less than that of the concubines.
Guarjia greeted Wen Xifushen and said, "Well done, your concubine!" Then he greeted Chengfei, "Well done, concubine Cheng."
Concubine Cheng smiled and bent slightly as a return gift.
Wen Xi raised her hand and asked Zhu'er to move an embroidered pier with an enamel painting of Luan and Phoenix for the Guarjia family. The Guarjia family used to come to Chengqian Palace to say hello, and she was like an ordinary daughter-in-law, sensible and virtuous.
.I think it was the prince’s intention to have a good relationship with Chengqian Palace.
Today, Guarjia looks more reserved, with careful eyes, "Shuying feels relieved when she sees that your mother and concubine are well." Shuying is Guarjia's maiden name.
Wen Xi couldn't help but feel a little tempted, "You can't tell whether I'm well or not by looking at it. You're not an imperial doctor, how do you know I'm well?"
Guarjia hesitated for a moment, with an unnatural expression on her face, and said hurriedly: "I just saw that your mother-in-law seems to be looking good, so I said this."
Wen Xi smiled and said: "I am indeed fine. I have caused you to worry for so many days."
Guarjia's face looked evasive, and she didn't know how to answer Wen Xi's words. Wen Xi continued: "I am still in confinement, so it is not suitable to see people. It's just that you have come several times and you have never seen me.
That's not good either. I thought that you must be in a hurry, otherwise you wouldn't ask for an audience again and again."
Guarjia smiled hurriedly, "There's nothing urgent, I'm just worried about your mother and concubine."
Wen Ru said with deep meaning: "You are worried too much. This is not the first time that I have given birth. Is it possible that there will be any accidents?" Giving birth for nine months is not a big deal.
"Shuying, it's just, it's just..." Guarjia's eyes were filled with anxiety, and she muttered not knowing what to say.
She smiled warmly and said, "Since you are here, I just have something to tell you." Then he glanced at Zhu'er.
Zhu'er held a prescription and handed it to Guarjia. Fu Shen said: "Princess, please look at this. This is a new fragrant powder recipe that my master got. He was thinking of sharing it with the Crown Princess."
!”
Guarjia hurriedly took it and looked at it. It read: oleander, poinsettia, five-color plum, poppy poppy, mandala, yellow azalea, iron begonia, aconite flower, knotweed flower...a large bunch of twenty flowers in total.
There are many kinds of flowers, but they are names of flowers that have never been seen before. Guarjia was full of doubts and said: "Shuying really doesn't understand spices, but it must be rare to see so many flowers and plants, right?" (To be continued. If you
