Kangxi waited but received no news until the fourth day, when he heard from the secret guards that Sheng Huan had finally come out of the temple. Before he had time to think about it, he heard from the secret guards that she did not return to Tongjia Mansion, but instead went to live in a farm not far from the outskirts of Beijing.

Kangxi: "..."

The hidden guard did not hear Kangxi speak, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the lady has Doctor Zhang with her, and everything is fine."

Kangxi was feeling very complicated at this moment.

Very good, it seems that if he doesn't take action, she really plans to hide outside until the end of the world. Haha, she is really capable.

Thinking about this, I felt a little funny while being angry.

The hidden guard paused as he thought of something: "It's just that the Madam doesn't know she's pregnant, and sometimes her actions are frightening..."

The lady had wanted to climb the mountain before, but if she hadn’t gone later because it was getting late, they would have been scared to death. Pregnant women are the ones who cannot stand being tired the most.

The mountain is rugged and uneven, if you slip...

OK.

"Keep an eye on the people. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible." Kangxi's eyes darkened and he waved his hand, "Go away."

The hidden guard kowtowed and quickly withdrew. After he left, Liang Jiugong stepped forward silently and said, "Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already repairing the Jingren Palace in an urgent manner."

Kangxi didn't say anything, just said "hmm".

The Imperial Concubine was handling palace affairs when she saw the palace maid Yue Xin walk in from outside.

She bowed: "Master, the four concubines Hui, Yi, De and Rong are here."

"It's not even the twice-monthly greeting time yet, how come they all came together?" The Imperial Concubine was a little surprised, and subconsciously reached out to touch her haggard face: "Let them wait in the side hall first, someone, come, put on makeup for me."

The four concubines were invited to sit in a side hall. After about a cup of tea, they heard noises coming from outside.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Get up, why are you all here today?"

The Imperial Concubine sat in the main seat, her eyes sweeping over the faces of the four concubines.

Concubine Yi spoke first: "Your Majesty, I came here today because I really have something I want to ask you."

"Oh?" The Imperial Concubine took the tea brought by the palace maid and asked: "What is it that you four are so concerned about?"

Concubine Yi's smile faded, and a trace of worry appeared on her face: "Your Majesty has not been in the harem these days, and I dare not ask if it is because he is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty. I just think that you, the Imperial Concubine, are in charge of the palace now, and you must know something that my sisters don't know. So I want to come and ask your Majesty if there is something wrong with me and others, so that Your Majesty is not coming to the harem."

The other three concubines looked at the Royal Consort calmly, their ears pricked up.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine didn't know why Kangxi didn't enter the harem, but since he didn't enter anyone's palace, she felt more relaxed than before and chuckled, "Sisters, why are you so anxious? If His Majesty wants to enter the harem, he will enter naturally. If he doesn't enter, it must be that something is holding him back. You have always been responsible and should know whether you have done anything wrong."

She looked at everyone present meaningfully, and said indifferently: "As for the matter of entering the harem, His Majesty will have his own considerations. All the sisters just need to do their duty. His Majesty may enter the harem one day."

After chatting for a while, the Royal Concubine's eyes were filled with fatigue: "It's getting late, I won't keep you here any longer."

The four concubines did not learn anything from the Imperial Concubine, but they did not dare to ask more questions. They bowed and retreated unwillingly.

It seems that I have to let the palace servants keep an eye on it.

In the suburbs of Beijing, at Zhuangzi, at 3:15 pm, Sheng Huan woke up from his nap. Madam Lin, the manager of the Zhuangzi, came and brought a tray. She was very respectful and enthusiastic.

"Master, it's a rare visit for you. This is peach blossom cake made from peach blossoms just picked from the back mountain. Please try it. Oh, and there is also newly brewed peach blossom wine."

Hearing the word "wine", Feng Qi and Feng Hua's movements froze slightly. Pregnant women can't drink alcohol. How can they stop the young lady? Their expressions became tense. They had...

Feng Qi took the lead: "Young Madam, you are not in good health before... It is not appropriate for you to drink now."

She spoke vaguely, but Sheng Huan understood what she meant. He made a "hmm" sound and nodded casually.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Lin lost her joy and said in a panic, "Master, Master, I didn't know you couldn't drink. I..."

Sheng Huan shook his head: "It's okay, after all, you don't know, just put down the peach blossom cake, I'll try it."

She took a bite and said, "Not bad."

Seeing that Sheng Huan was not angry, Nanny Lin also relaxed: "This is made with the freshest peach blossoms. Master, you can eat more if you like it."

Sheng Huan nodded, as if he didn't notice anything unusual about Feng Qi and the others. He asked Nanny Lin with great interest, "Are there a lot of peach blossoms in the back hills?"

Hearing Sheng Huan's question, Feng Qi and Feng Hua looked at each other and their hearts froze.

"Master, we planted a lot in the past two years, and peaches should be available this year." Nanny Lin nodded repeatedly. When she saw Feng Qi and Feng Zhu looking at her with strange expressions, she thought they were also curious, so she quickly said, "Master, you came at the right time. Now is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. When I went up the mountain yesterday, the pink peach blossoms made my eyes dazzled. They are very beautiful."

Sheng Huan's eyes lit up slightly: "This place is not far from the back mountain."

"It's not far, just a few steps away. There's a pavilion in the mountains where you can rest if you're tired."

Nanny Lin knew everything. This farm was a dowry given by the lady to the master. The master did not come here often, so she was not surprised if she did not know the specific situation.

"That sounds good. It's not too hot outside at this hour. It's a good time to go out and enjoy the flowers."

"Young Madam, the mountains are rugged, this..."

"Don't worry, young lady. The road is flat. It's behind our farm. The road is very flat. There is a pavilion every few steps. You can rest if you are tired." Nanny Lin said with a smile.

Feng Qi wanted to say something, but Sheng Huan looked at her calmly and said, "If you don't want to go, just stay in the manor."

How could this be possible? Feng Qi immediately bowed and said, "Young Madam, that's not what I meant."

Sheng Huan ignored her. Feng Qi felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw this.

"Zhu Yu, go and see if Yue Xing'a has woken up. If not, we will set off on our own and not call him." When Yue Xing'a first arrived at the farm, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He played with the chickens and ducks on the farm for a long time and just went to bed.

"Yes, young lady."

Zhu Yufu was very happy. When he left, he glared at Feng Qi and Feng Hua. No one knew what was wrong with these two people. They were a bit annoying these days.

The young lady has finally come out, so of course she has to have fun. This is her own farm, with so many family members around. It's okay to be concerned about safety, but why is she even concerned about food?

-

The peach blossoms in the mountains were in full bloom just as Nanny Lin had said. From a distance, they looked a sea of ​​pink. When you got closer, you could smell a rich, sweet and pleasant fragrance.

Sheng Huan stood under the peach tree. As soon as she stretched out her hand, a few petals impatiently fell into her palm. They were so light and soft that the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.
