Chapter 454: Making up for the virtuous concubine’s plan before it’s too late
After the reunion banquet, Concubine Xian first respectfully sent Concubine Rong back to the palace together with everyone else, and then took a warm sedan back to her palace.
It was sunny and windless when we got off the sedan chair, but for some reason a whirlwind blew up from the flat ground, which blinded Concubine Xian.
Everyone hurriedly came forward, but Concubine Xian said calmly and gently: "It doesn't matter, just blow it on and put a few drops of pure jade dew on it and you'll be fine."
Kang Guang and others carefully helped her back into the house. At the same time, they ordered someone to open the box, took out the clear jade dew from Ouchi's expensive eye drops, carefully dipped a hosta in it, and gently dripped it into her eyes.
Concubine Xian called Shucong over again, blew into her eyes twice, blinked, and rubbed them. Although they were still a little red, she was fine.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired from preparing for the banquet these days. I drank wine again today. You might as well undress and take a nap. I'll have nothing to do in the rest of the day." Jinglian asked carefully and attentively from the side.
Kang Guang also watched Concubine Xian's face closely, fearing that he would say something wrong and arouse Concubine Xian's anger.
Concubine Xian's expression was the same as usual, and she said to them: "You have worked hard these days, so go down and have a rest! Just replace it with two people to serve me."
Jinglian and Shucong wanted to say something else! Kang Guang stopped them with a look.
The three people retreated and were replaced by two second-class maids to serve the concubine and rest.
The two maids helped the concubine take off her coat, take off her hairpin, and help her lie down.
Concubine Xian fell asleep peacefully and slept for two hours before she woke up.
By now it was getting dark and it was time to turn on the lamp.
Kang Guang and others came in to wait on her. Concubine Xian yawned and said, "I have slept for a long time, and my fatigue has improved a lot."
"Your Majesty, please drink a glass of warm water first. Later, we will see what we are going to have for dinner. I will go to the imperial kitchen and tell you." Shucong said.
"Just make it lighter," Concubine Xian said warmly, "Just don't use white fungus anymore."
"Your Majesty, I will give you a massage! Loosen your muscles and bones." Kang Guang said, kneeling down and carefully beating Concubine Xian's legs. "There is nothing special today. I have just handed it over as usual."
"You can now be on your own," Concubine Xian nodded, "which saved me a lot of trouble."
"This is all thanks to the Queen," Kang Guang said with a smile, "otherwise, how would I have such an opportunity?"
"Go back to each palace and ask for me to see what the master of each palace lacks. Don't ask others to carry gifts." Concubine Xian ordered.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will be there soon." Kang Guang agreed repeatedly.
Seeing Concubine Xian talking and laughing with him, Kang Guang finally felt relieved.
At this time, a little palace maid came in with a wash basin, knelt down and said, "Please wash your hands, my queen."
Another palace maid quickly covered Concubine Xian's clothes with a handkerchief to prevent them from getting wet, and carefully rolled up Concubine Xian's sleeves.
Concubine Xian put her hand into the basin and washed it twice. The maid with a towel wiped her dry, but accidentally dropped a drop of water on Concubine Xian's sleeping shoes.
This was just a small oversight. Normally, Concubine Xian would never take it to heart. But today, her expression suddenly changed. She raised her hand and slapped the little palace maid.
The applause was crisp and clear, and it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.
The little palace maid was beaten until her body was tilted, but she quickly knelt down to apologize.
"How did you do it?! So careless?!" Kang Guang scolded, "You are so clumsy that you only know how to eat for nothing all day long, why don't you get out of here!"
The two little palace ladies quickly retreated in panic.
Kang Guang became more attentive again and said to Concubine Xian with a smile: "Concubine, please calm down. You won't be angry with these two bastards. I will teach them a lesson later and don't want them to be an eyesore in front of Concubine."
Concubine Xian let out a sigh of relief and said, "You said it's not a big deal, so why should the punishment be so severe?"
"What your Majesty said is that your Majesty has always been kind-hearted. It was the slave who got it wrong." Kang Guang said, giving himself a gentle slap. "It is also the slave who was careless. He only focused on targeting Concubine Fu and the others, but he actually treated Concubine Li.
Forgot."
"I don't blame you, who would have thought that Concubine Li would hide so deeply!" Concubine Xian then talked about Concubine Li, "I asked her why she has been so frivolous these days. It turns out she has some support.
"
"Concubine Li is close to Zhang Ze, who is beside the emperor. No wonder she wants to squeeze out Eunuch Shang." Kang Guang said, "When the empress had just rested, I went to the imperial hospital to ask the doctors who diagnosed Concubine Li's pulse.
, they all say that the child Concubine Cong Li is pregnant with is definitely a boy."
"She has been pregnant for four months. The imperial doctor can easily tell the male and female from the pulse." Concubine Xian said, "None of the concubines in the harem have been pregnant in the past few years. Who wants to be pregnant at this juncture?
She is actually pregnant."
"Empress, the emperor loves Concubine Li. If she gives birth to a prince, won't she threaten us?" Kang Guang said, "Why don't we start early..."
But Concubine Xian shook her head and said, "It's too risky to commit."
"Then what are you going to do?" Kang Guang asked for instructions. "Although this Concubine Li has no brains, she is ambitious. Just two days ago, the Taoist priest of Qingque said that Taiweiyuan had changed from darkness to light, and it was time to re-register the crown prince. She jumped
Isn’t it too obvious to come out and say that I am pregnant and that I am pregnant with a prince?”
"She must have had this plan," Concubine Xian sneered, "The way to deal with her is simple, just let Qingque say in front of the emperor that the child she is carrying is unlucky, will harm the country's fortunes, and will punish her parents.
"
"What the empress said is really wonderful! Just a few casual words from Qingque can kill their mother and son." Kang Guang rubbed his hands with joy, "So what if she gives birth to a prince? It won't be the same.
People are disgusted!"
"Find a time to inform Qingque, but tell him not to rush in. Use this time to test Shang Qiyan's tone again. Concubine Li is being favored now, and she wants Zhang Ze to replace Shang Qiyan. Shang Qiyan
If you are not stupid, how can you sit back and wait for death? Maybe they will take advantage of the situation and join us.
Although things can be accomplished with or without him, Qingque cannot always be with the emperor after all. With him as the royal steward, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to do what we want to do?" Concubine Xian is like a spider spinning a web, here in an orderly manner.
Set up the formation.
"This servant knows about it and will take care of it later." Kang Guang said, "That idiot Li Fei must be still dreaming right now!"
"I don't know what happened over there at the border fortress. Feng Ming and the others didn't send any more messages. I think they have already arrived at the Huns." Concubine Xian looked at the lamp on the table and said, "Lao Wu died in the desert. The imperial court will definitely send people again.
When we go to the border, let my brother ask the court for orders."
"Don't worry, Madam, even if I ask my uncle to go there, we can still negotiate peace." Kang Guang said, "If we want to fight a long-term war, the Huns will not be able to afford it."
