Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to go to Jingren Palace to deliver the decree: to depose the noble Hezhe family as a commoner and resettle him in the cold palace. A brief oral decree decided the fate of the Hezhe family. However, this fate often took twists and turns.
Wen Xi just asked someone to prepare two cups of lotus root flour dumplings, and she tasted them slowly with Kangxi. The garden was refreshing, the soup was delicious, with the crispness of lotus roots and the astringency of lotus seeds, and the soup was added with fresh new leaves cut like hair.
The fresh lotus leaves are not only refreshing, but also look great.
Kangxi ate it smoothly, "The lotus root flour dumplings in your palace taste the most authentic!"
Wen Xi smiled but didn't answer. She only ate half a cup and then put it down.
Li Dequan came back very quickly. He seemed to have run all the way back. Panting, he came in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and reported: "Your Majesty, your master, Zhaogui has committed suicide by throwing himself into a trap!"
Wen Xi couldn't help being slightly surprised. As far as she knew, Hezhe was not a person who had the courage to commit suicide! Listening to Li Dequan's name for Hezhe, she knew that the imperial edict had not yet been conveyed, so he also called Hezhe "Zhaoguiren"
”.
Kangxi's eyebrows were filled with deep dissatisfaction, and he asked coldly: "Are you dead?"
Li Dequan shook his head hurriedly, "The people around Empress Tong Bin found out in time and saved her!"
Kangxi snorted and said, "Then why don't you move her to the cold palace?!"
Li Dequan first looked at Wen Xi's face and then said cautiously: "Mother Wei who is beside Empress Tong said... that Zhaogui is already two months pregnant."
As soon as Li Dequan's words came out, Wen Xi was so shocked that she could not recover. Kangxi grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it hard on Li Dequan's head. Naturally, Li Dequan did not dare to dodge, and was hit hard on the head.
Broken blood flow.
Kangxi was really angry, "You useless dog slave! Every time I say 'no'?! How could she be pregnant?!" Kangxi counted the time and found that two months ago, he was indeed pregnant with Hezhe.
Many times he called for luck, but each time he was given decoction! Ever since Tong Bin became pregnant "unexpectedly", Kangxi asked Li Dequan to secretly order the Taiyuan Hospital to improve the "hi-avoiding soup". Unexpectedly, Hezhe was actually pregnant!
"That's all, Tong Concubine! Just a slave of the Hezhe clan -" Kangxi was filled with rage and stepped forward to kick Li De all over.
He heard a cry of pain. Li Dequan fell to the ground and seemed to be in too much pain to get up.
In such a situation, Wen Xi had no choice but to comfort Kangxi with her usual tone: "Since we have it, we can only give birth to her. At most, she will be like a good concubine."
Wen Xi only briefly mentioned the concubine, and Kangxi's eyebrows welled up with deep disgust. Then he said: "Instruct the imperial physician that the emperor's heir must not be in the way." Those ordinary words were said in an unusual tone, which contained murder.
Meaning. "The emperor's heirs cannot be in the way", which means that the Hezhe family can be "in the way".
Li Dequan had been serving Kangxi for many years. How could he not understand what Kangxi meant? "Hey!" he got up and responded hurriedly.
Zhaogui was two months pregnant. She was conceived in the first month of the year, which was also the day when Kangxi returned to the harem like a butterfly. Zhaogui was one of the most favored concubines during that period.
"Although Zhaogui was born as a palace maid, she can't be considered humble." Wen Xi said lightly, "The concubine De in those days was also a palace maid." - Didn't she have so many children?
Kangxi took a deep breath and said: "At first, I had very few heirs, so no medicine was given to the concubines in the harem regardless of their birth status. Now that I think about it, people like Wu Ya should not have let her get pregnant. Fortunately, I am old.
Fourth, you don't follow your biological mother, and your character is valuable." Fu looked at Wen Xi again. "It's you who taught me well."
Yinzhen only stayed in Chengqian Palace for a year, but Wenxi also agreed with Kangxi's words, "Whether a child is good or not depends mainly on how well he is taught."
Kangxi hummed lightly and added: "The princes and elder brothers all studied and grew up in Xiefang Hall, but they are all different. Yinshan and Yinyou have mediocre qualifications, Yinxiang and Yinzhen are good at riding and shooting, but Yinlu is not.
It is both civil and military! It can be seen that even if you teach well, you may not always learn well."
"Why didn't the emperor say anything about Yin Li?" Wen Xi couldn't help but smile.
Kangxi also smiled and said: "Yinli is not very interested in riding and shooting, but he has learned poetry and calligraphy well and is good at music. He will naturally be an elegant man in the future."
"'Elegant'?" A gentle smile appeared on Wen Xi's eyebrows, "Your Majesty, don't blame him for being ignorant." However, Yinli's piano skills have really become more and more advanced, even Wen Xi doesn't understand much.
People who are fond of music will also be intoxicated by it.
"Why don't you ask him to come over and play a song? Classes at Xie Fang Hall are over now," Kangxi said.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you think that's a singer and dancer? She comes as soon as you call her? Yinli has a very bad temper now! Don't even think about asking him to play a song if you don't have a good luck."
"What's so difficult about this? A few months ago, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang donated a green-tailed guqin. Let's take this as a bonus." Then he told Xiao Xizi to get the guqin.
With such a good fortune, Yinli came in a hurry. In addition to Lu Tan, the one holding the Nine Heavens Ring and Piano was an extremely elegant little palace maid. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Wen Xi had never seen her before.
, and asked: "Why did you change the maid holding the piano again?" Since Yinli untied the knot in his heart, he no longer hates the good-looking palace maids, but has developed to the other extreme, that is, the palace maid who plays the piano for him must be
If she is extremely beautiful, especially the palace maid holding the harp, she must be beautiful. According to him, it is only fitting for a beauty to hold the harp!
Yinli is eight years old this year and has a bit of a hairy temper. The clothes must be gorgeous and spotless. He loves cleanliness more than gentleness! Yinli came up and bowed and said: "Mother, I am here to serve Brother Sixteen.
Yes, at the beginning of the year, Emperor Ama rewarded Brother Sixteen with several maids. The son saw that they were beautiful, so he asked one of them to come over and hold the piano! Take a look, mother-in-law, is she prettier than before?!"
Indeed, each of Yinli's maids holding the piano was more beautiful than the last. To be precise, he was only willing to replace the original maid when he saw one that was more beautiful!
Kangxi was a little unhappy, "You are so young and you are ignorant and incompetent!"
Naturally, Yinli could see that Kangxi was not really angry, and because of his gentleness, he was extra courageous, so he said coquettishly: "It's the emperor who is partial, and only gives the beautiful maid to Brother Sixteen and not to me!"
"You're still young!" Kangxi frowned.
"Brother Sixteen is only three years older than me!" Yinli pouted.
Wen Xi lowered her head and rubbed her temples. What did Kangxi mean? How old was Yin Lu? Why should he give his beautiful palace maid?! Huh? Ci'ao, you old pervert, you are just a pervert yourself. Do you want to do this to your son?
The direction cannot be cultivated?!
Wen Xi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Yinlu is only eleven years old!"
Kangxi patted his gentle hands and said: "They are not young anymore. The ones I have given you are all thirteen and fourteen years old. Just prepare them in advance so that you will not be unable to choose the right ones when you need them.
"
When the temples of a warm skin are bulging, what does "when needed" mean?
"My concubine has already chosen a roommate for Yinzhen. I saw that you didn't care about it, so I arranged it for you! Although it's not needed now, it's better to be prepared." Kangxi seemed to be talking about something ordinary.
Wen Xi was already dizzy after hearing what happened. She was so dizzy that she couldn't even hear what Yin Li was playing the piano.
After finishing the song, Kangxi was quite satisfied and asked Xiao Xizi to bring up the green-tailed harp. "This is a green-tailed harp made of green sandalwood. You are a person who knows how to play harp. You will know if it is good or not by trying it yourself."
Already."
Yinli hurriedly tried the sound of the piano with joy, and immediately said with joy, "The sound of the piano is clear, it is indeed a green tail!" He turned around and said, "Sister Lu Tan, this piano is just right for you to hold!"
Lutan has been following and protecting Yinli. The older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. However, she doesn’t know much about music, so she has never been a maid holding a piano. Now when she heard this, her big eyes blinked twice, "Slave
Hold the piano?!"
Lutan's task is not as arduous as Lutong, it only needs to protect Yinli. Lutong also has to teach Yinlu martial arts, and he is very diligent, which makes it much easier for Lutan. He follows Yinlu every day.
I can still listen to music often and feel more leisurely. Lutong and Lutan practice "Tuna Sutra", so they still look the same as when they first came here. Time seems to be particularly attached to those who have practiced "Tuna Sutra"
.
Lutong followed Yinlu, and her temperament became more mature and silent. As Yinlu's martial arts improved, she rarely needed to supervise Yinlu's martial arts training, and her temperament became more and more silent. But Lutan followed Yinli, and inevitably had to deal with children.
It seems that if you are simple-minded, you will not grow up.
Lutan listened to Yinli's instructions and picked up Luwei carelessly, looking jerky.
Yinli hit Qian'er and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, E Niang, my son has resigned!"
It seems that apart from Zhaoguiren's belly, Wenxi has one more thing that needs to be solved.
After a few days of free time, Wen Xi went to Jingren Palace where Tong Bin lived, to visit Tong Bin who was still in confinement, and to see what happened to Zhaogui Ren.
Tong Bi was a little weak after giving birth. When Wen Xi left, she was lying on the bed drinking ginseng soup. She had a silver-red forehead bandage on her forehead. She was also wearing a mink fur coat. Her face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits.
fine.
Tong Concubine was not surprised by Wen Xi's arrival. She couldn't get up, so she just said hello, respectfully brought a chair to the table, and asked Wen Xi to sit down. "The draft is coming soon, and the imperial concubine is free to come to the concubine's palace."
?"
The draft, yes, this year is the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, and the preliminary election has already begun. I just asked the fourth concubine to do it. I am not in a hurry. "There is no rush. Tong is not in a hurry. What should I be anxious about?"
"
Tong Bin's pale face showed a smile like ripples of autumn water, "Yes, there is no rush. I have a little princess, this life is enough, so there is no rush."
The corners of Wen Ru's lips raised, and she said: "Not just a little princess? There is also the one in Zhaogui's belly!"
Tong Bin wiped her lips with silk and said, "Zhaogui people are so lucky."
"It should be said that Tong Bin gave her such good luck, right?" Wen Xi asked immediately.
Tong Bin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise, concubines are just following the other's way, and give it to the other." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support,
