As the master of Chengqian Palace, if Wen Xi didn't know what happened in her palace, wouldn't she be deaf?! From that day on, Xiao Mi Tao had been bored in the house all day long and could not go out. Wen Xi's chest also became numb.
Sighing with a sigh of relief, what about Xiaomi Tao herself? Then she ordered: "She will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future!"
When Wen Xi went to the side hall to see her son again, Xiao Mi Tao's Nine Heavens Ring Peiqin was actually put away. In the dead of night, she had not yet fallen asleep, and the maids who were watching the night were extremely sleepy.
Under the candlelight, Xiao Mi Tao was holding Wen Xi's pen, and according to Wen Xi's copybook, she was practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke. She practiced so seriously that Wen Xi didn't even notice when Wen Xi came.
Wen Xi sighed slightly, put her hand on his four-fingered hand, and said softly: "Stop writing."
Xiao Mi Tao was startled, "Why is E Niang here?"
He took off the pen from Xiaomi Tao's hand and saw that his middle finger was pressed down by the pen so much that the flesh was dented, so he rubbed it distressedly, "Don't be impatient, just practice slowly. Pen calligraphy is easier to write than calligraphy with calligraphy."
Xiao Mi Tao bit her lip with a pleading look on her face: "Mom, my son doesn't like Heshuo Huining Gege, please don't let her come into the palace in the future, okay?"
Wen Xi nodded, which showed that Xiao Mi Tao disliked Al Ling'a's wife very much. Otherwise, she would not have even called her "aunt" and directly addressed her identity, "Okay, E Niang doesn't like her either." Huining originally also said
She is just a bit more irritable, but she actually said such words, Wenxi naturally stayed away from her, and then changed the subject: "But, don't take her words to heart. Because there is no need to be angry at other people's prejudices!"
Xiao Mi Tao thought for a while and finally nodded, "My son knows and will try his best to do it."
"How are Xiang Ping and Bao Zheng taking care of you?" she asked in a gentle voice.
Xiao Mi Tao paused, showed a little smile and said: "The people chosen by E Niang are naturally the best. The palace maids are attentive and considerate, which is naturally different from eunuchs and nuns."
Wen Xi nodded, "Now that you have figured it out, I will feel relieved."
"My son wants to go to school!" Xiao Mi Tao suddenly said these words.
Wen Xi was slightly startled and said: "Didn't we agree that we would move to my brother's institute at the end of the year? Don't you also want to spend more time studying piano? If you enroll, you will have very little free time."
"Son... you have to enroll in school. If it's too late, I'm afraid you'll be left behind." Xiao Mi Tao looked straight at Wen Xi and said.
Not only my elder brother, but also many children from close clan clans were studying in Jie Fang Hall. They all entered the school at the age of six, so some of them were the same age as Xiao Mi Tao. Naturally, Xiao Mi Tao was afraid of falling behind her peers.
His unwillingness to admit defeat was exactly the same as that of Xiao Pomegranate. But because of his insistence, Wen Xi had no choice but to agree. She told Kangxi that she would ask him to move to his elder brother's house on a certain day.
Another son was given away. With only Yulu Dai left by his side, Wen Xi felt empty. Without Xiao Mi Tao's piano sound in the Chengqian Palace, it seemed as if something was missing. He used to learn the piano, and Wen Xi still felt a little...
Noisy, now that the sound suddenly disappeared, it felt too quiet. This son will grow up too - Wen Xi let out a long sigh in her heart.
Although Xiao Pomegranate was taking care of her in the study, Wen Xi was afraid that there would be a rift between the two brothers because of Huining's words. Later, she saw that the two sons came in and came out together to greet each other every day. The intimacy was better than before, and Wen Xi felt at ease.
Already.
After this day's greetings, the Queen Mother actually left Wen Xi behind, which made her a little confused. Because Concubine Xuan became a medicine pot, her health was in and out, and she could not often come to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother. She also had to have
With Shu Yier at his knees, the Queen Mother and the old lady will never be lonely.
Wen Xi saw the way the Queen Mother hesitated to speak, and smiled and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I see that Concubine Xuan is getting better today, and I think she will recover soon."
"What Aijia wants to say is not Concubine Xuan..." The Queen Mother paused. The gold and ruby-studded tiara on her head was so luxurious that it made people's eyes hard to open. "Come in, the emperor is busy with government affairs and doesn't have time to come to the harem.
That's all. It's okay to tell you to go and sleep with me. Except for the queen, concubines are not allowed to spend the night in Yangxin Hall. It's an ancestral rule."
The smile on Wen Xi's face disappeared. As Kangxi grew older, his love for Wen Xi became stronger and stronger. The previous dynasty was busy with affairs, so he often called Wen Xi over, inevitably neglecting the other concubines. Wen Xi became more and more prominent.
It is a matter of being the only one to favor, so the Queen Mother said it once. Wen Xi had to lower her head and said: "I, my concubine, please bear this in mind."
The Empress Dowager's tone was still gentle. She did not ask questions, nor did she say it in front of other concubines. She continued: "The emperor favors you because you must be better than others. But if one person monopolizes the favor, he will be favored by others."
The sixth house is filled with resentment and jealousy. Today, Aijia is not scolding you, but teaching you."
"Concubine... I understand." Wen Xi's tone was extremely low. Although she complained in her heart that Kangxi kept asking her to stay up late, she still went anyway.
"The Ai family has seen that the emperor's face has not been very good these days. As a concubine, you should give some advice. The emperor is not young anymore. How can he be like he was when he was young? Too many blessings will not be beneficial to the dragon body!" The queen mother said in a slight tone.
A bit heavier.
Did Kangxi look bad? He didn't pay attention to this point of warmth. During this period, he only cared about whether Xiao Mi Tao could adapt to the life there after entering his elder brother's house, and whether he could get through to study at Xie Fang Hall? Wait, these evenings
When Kangxi called her to the Yangxin Hall, she went to bed early, and Kangxi didn't make any fuss about her, as if she really wasn't feeling well.
Wen Xi had to admit that the Queen Mother's words made sense. Since last year, Kangxi seemed to be suddenly full of energy. Wen Xi didn't pay much attention at that time. She clearly heard that he was injured when he conquered Galdan and his energy declined. But
Suddenly energetic, Wen Xi only thought that he was recovering well, but now that he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
While she was melancholy, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace suddenly came in a hurry to report that Kangxi had fainted in the morning! The Queen Mother was so frightened that she had no intention of saying anything to Wen Xi, and went to Yangxin Palace without saying a word.
Go. Wen Xi hurriedly followed behind.
In the back bedroom of Yangxin Hall, almost all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital came. When the Queen Mother and Wen Xi came, the imperial doctors had just finished giving Kangxi acupuncture. Kangxi had already woken up, but he was a little confused. "I... this
What happened?"
The Queen Mother walked in and called out Amitabha, "Just wake up! The Emperor has not been taking good care of himself recently. He even fainted in the court hall!"
Kangxi seemed a little dizzy and had a headache. He frowned deeply and said, "I'm worried about the queen..." He held his forehead with one hand and shook it vigorously, as if there was something inside that he wanted to shake out.
As if, his tone was understated: "I just haven't had a good rest these past few days, it's nothing serious."
The Queen Mother also breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that since the Emperor was awake, he must be fine. She looked at Wen Xi again and said, "The Imperial Concubine, please stay here and take care of her." Then most of the gentleness disappeared from her voice, "
The emperor is not in good health, so please don’t ask your concubines to sleep with you in the next few days!"
Kangxi's brows were deeply furrowed due to pain. He seemed to have aged several years, and his face was abnormally pale, but he still said: "The imperial concubine has only been serving pen and ink these days. The emperor has thought too much."
.I wasn’t feeling well earlier because I didn’t care. I just thought it was because I stayed up late. I don’t know what happened today. I feel dizzy and my head hurts badly!”
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The Emperor is not young anymore. He has a filial prince and so many progressive sons. It's time to make yourself more relaxed." The Queen Mother did not dare to get too involved in the affairs of the government. She could only do this.
A little reminder.
Kangxi couldn't open his eyes because of his headache, so he just said: "Let the prince supervise the country for a few days." After saying this, Kangxi knitted his brows deeply and tiredly. The wrinkles were so deep that they looked like ravines.
When did you feel so tired and old? Wen Xi looked at it quietly, but she had never noticed it before.
The Queen Mother nodded, left Wen Xi at her service, and went back.
Wen Xi waited for Kangxi to sleep, put down the curtains, and felt something was wrong. It seemed that Kangxi was particularly tired these days, but Wen Xi's heart was not with him, so she didn't pay much attention.
The current head of the imperial hospital is Imperial Physician Qin. Physician Qin is a disciple of Gu Chengzong who has become an official. He is also nearly half a century old. At this time, he broke out in a cold sweat. Qianxi walked up to Wenxi, bowed and lowered his voice to reply.
He said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's dragon body... seems to have accumulated toxins."
He tried his best to keep his voice low, for fear of being heard by others. But Wen Xi was horrified and asked hurriedly: "How could the emperor be poisoned?!"
Doctor Qin wiped the sweat from his head, and his anxious words were full of fear: "Actually, it cannot be said to be poisoning. Based on the old slave's many years of experience, the emperor's body should be cinnabar."
Cinnabar?! Wen Xi’s eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that Kangxi was taking Alchemy Pill?! Otherwise, how could cinnabar enter the body?! In the minds of people of this era, cinnabar is a non-toxic thing, but in fact it is a
Chronic poisons can indeed make the body strong and lively if used sparingly, but if used for a long time or too much, they will damage the internal organs and shorten life span.
Wen Xi secretly guessed that Kangxi had been taking these things for at least a year! This was also the fundamental reason why Kangxi had been so lively and vigorous since last year! He and Wen Xi had to have fun with Wen Xi inside the curtains every day until midnight.
Only then was he willing to fall asleep. He was extremely sleepy, and he didn't notice anything strange about Kangxi's body. He just thought it was because he had taken good care of himself! Unexpectedly, he had taken a pill containing cinnabar!
Doctor Qin's face was also extremely pale. Naturally, he was frightened and turned pale, but he was helpless. "Concubine, please advise the emperor! The emperor's five internal organs have been seriously damaged... His longevity has been shortened."
Doctor Qin gritted his teeth and told the truth. It was actually cinnabar poison, which was difficult to diagnose. By the time someone could diagnose it, they would have suffered deeply from it.
"Loss...of lifespan?" Wen Xi's lips and teeth were trembling a little. Before he could ask Imperial Physician Qin how much lifespan he had lost, Kangxi woke up again.
Wen Xi hurriedly helped Kangxi stand up, put a soft pillow on his back, called the eunuch to bring him some ginseng soup, and asked, "Is the emperor feeling better?"
Kangxi raised his heavy eyelids, "I..." and then rubbed his temples with one hand, "My head feels heavy and I feel very uncomfortable! Just smelling your scent makes me feel better."
The smell of Wen Xi's body naturally has the smell brought out from the space, which is naturally useful. If there are not people everywhere, Wen Xi also thinks that it will be better to put some mist in his tent. (To be continued. If you
