Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

"The emperor is very busy these days. He asked the kitchen staff to cook ginseng chicken soup. Go and ask the imperial dining room what food is prepared today. We are cooperating to do something else here." An He walked away with steam all over his body. When he came out, he had already changed into a light yellow flag dress embroidered with light green persimmon stalks, and said while having his hair dried.

"Yes." Feihong agreed.

After drying his hair and combing it into a bun, Kangxi walked in with Li Dequan.An He took a look, saw Kangxi's face was pale, and looked up at Li Dequan, and saw that Li Dequan made a mouth shape of "Empress Dowager" and "Wei Shi", so he knew that Kangxi must have come from the Palace of Compassion and Peace just now. When I came out, I was afraid that the Empress Dowager had told me about Wei Shi.So he took a step forward and said with a smile, "Greetings to the emperor."

"Get up." Kangxi sniffed, "Your place smells so good, did you cook something delicious?"

"Your Majesty is really hungry." An He said with a smile, "My servant knows that the Emperor was busy with government affairs a while ago, so I ordered someone to cook ginseng chicken soup for the Emperor. Today, the Imperial Dining Room will prepare fried shredded duck with bird's nest and fried coriander. Pigeons and braised yellow croakers have a bit of a strong smell, so the kitchen has made noodles in clear soup, the emperor should eat first."

"Alright, I'm hungry too." Kangxi rubbed his brows wearily, just now the ancestor called him over to reprimand him.It's not difficult for the emperor to accept the maidservant. Deguiren, Concubine Wan Liuha, Concubine Zhang Shu and others all came here like this.But these women were all born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Wei family was a criminal slave, and was brought into the harem because of her beauty. If it spread, some people might talk about the emperor's serious sex.Kangxi was also overjoyed for a while because things in San Francisco were going well, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that his behavior is very inappropriate, and he has made up his mind to neglect that Wei family for a while.

The clear noodle soup is prepared with long-simmered chicken broth. It is delicious without a trace of meat oil. Accompanied by pickles, cucumbers and pickled radish, Kangxi has an appetizing meal and finally feels much better.Seeing that An He had put down his chopsticks, he suddenly remembered what Li Dequan said about An He and Wei Shi, and said, "You seem to have met Wei Shi from Zhongcui Palace?"

An He frowned, and said softly, "I've seen it before. Back then, she was bullied in the Royal Garden, and the servants bumped into her and said a few words for her as a relief."

Kangxi suddenly remembered that when he met Wei, she still had a wound on her face, she spoke in a pitiful manner, and her eyes were full of admiration. Now thinking about it, she felt suspicious.Thinking of the four words "unpredictable intentions" said by the ancestors, Kangxi committed the suspicious problem again.He hates being calculated and ruled by others, no matter whether Wei Shi is really innocent or not, he will be locked up in Zhongcui Palace during this time so he can "learn the rules".

An He saw that Kangxi's face changed instantly, so he asked someone to bring hot tea, and after he recovered, he brought it up and told him to drink it: "This is chrysanthemum tea prepared for the emperor. I'm tired, drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea is good for my body."

Kangxi felt that his mood of being calculated was finally better, and he also felt that he had neglected many people during this period, so he took it and drank it all, and then changed his pajamas to wait for him to go to bed.

For three days in a row, Kangxi turned over Anhe's brand, and the turmoil caused by this woman Wei finally calmed down a lot.Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have the intention to pamper Wei for the time being, the women in the harem breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to prepare a birthday gift for the empress dowager.

"Master must be exhausted to embroider this screen." Madam Wanyan felt distressed when she saw that An He's face, which had gained weight with great difficulty, became sunken again. Rock candy bird's nest, master will eat them all later, no excuses are allowed."

"Mommy is really getting more and more fierce." An He put down the scissors in his hand, "It took me a long time to draw this screen, so naturally I should pay more attention to it. Don't worry about me, Mommy."

"How can we not be worried, the master has been preparing for this screen since April, and the master is pursuing perfection and refuses to do it lightly. It is only one month away from the Empress Dowager's birthday, and if you keep going like this, your eyes will be blinded "Wanyan Mama said worriedly, "Master doesn't like to eat during this period of time, is it because the people in the kitchen don't cook well? If so, the slaves went back to the Empress Empress, and asked the Empress Empress to change a new batch. Come cook."

"There is no such thing, I just want to eat something light recently." Kangxi likes light food and pays attention to health preservation, but even so, the food made by the imperial dining room is cooked with the most precious ingredients, and it tastes really good after eating , but An He always felt that it was not suitable for her.Now she just wants to eat porridge and side dishes, or just bring her a cup of stewed soup for a meal, the appetite is so small that Mammy Wanyan is worried that her master is not feeling well.An He glanced at the silk thread in the embroidery basket, "Jinxiu, I've run out of golden silk thread here, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get some back for me later."

"Yes." Jinxiu replied.

Wanyan's mother rolled her eyes, and while An He was concentrating on dealing with the screen, she held Jin Xiu and said, "Master, I haven't asked for Ping's pulse for a month, and when you go to the House of Internal Affairs, go and get the imperial physician over. It’s not good for your health if you don’t eat like this.”

Jinxiu grew up with An He since she was a child, and she has a deep bond with her. She also expressed concern about An He's situation, and quickly agreed.

But when the imperial doctor came to take a look, he found that An He really just had a bad appetite, and the imperial doctor stroked his beard and prescribed a prescription to nourish and whet the appetite, that's all.An He Piansheng didn't even want to drink medicine, and when his temper came up, no one could persuade him. Seeing this, Wanyan could only surrender, and spent every day trying to force the people in the small kitchen to cook some appetizing dishes, until the The cooks were forced to create a unique skill.

The screen sent to the empress dowager was finally completed on time, and the empress dowager was very satisfied, so she immediately said that she would put it in her bedroom. An He, who has always been low-key, also received a lot of rewards from the empress dowager.

"You are thoughtful, so don't mention me, so that I can also get the reward from the empress dowager." Concubine Hesheli smiled and said, "But I see if you are tired, why do you look better than before?" Still thinner?" Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi was very graceful, and the queen and An He both followed the appearance of their biological mothers, and they looked so slender that it was worrying.

"Sister, what nonsense, I just didn't like to eat much a while ago." Besides porridge, An He only ate melons and fruits these days, and after the end of September, his appetite gradually improved, and he was able to eat some meat.But this body is easy to thin and not easy to get fat, even if Madam Wanyan wants to give her nourishment, there is nothing she can do.

"I've heard about your problem, but luckily the imperial doctor said it's nothing wrong." Concubine Hesheli asked concerned, "Is it too hot?"

"Maybe, there have been times like this before, but it's not as serious as this time, but it frightened many people." An He smiled mischievously, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the yuan that Fei Hong had brought over before. Hooves into the mouth.It is simmered with rich spices and broth until it tastes delicious. The outer skin is colored with soy sauce, which looks delicious.An He took a bite and thought it was okay, so he asked Feihong to take another piece.

"Don't worry about eating meat, finish the soup." Concubine Hesheli signaled Feilan to give her soup, "Tofu soup with crucian carp is very delicious."

"I appreciate my sister's kindness, but I can't smell the fishy smell recently." An He ate two pieces of yuan hoof meat and stopped moving her chopsticks. She had eaten before going out, but looking at this yuan hoof was very I can't help but eat two more bites because of the attraction.

Fishy?Concubine Hesheli laughed secretly: "The soup made by the imperial dining room has spent many efforts to remove the fishy smell, but you have a good nose, so you can smell the fishy smell."

"Maybe I just have a good nose." An He wrinkled his nose, "I'm afraid that rouge and gouache are free now, so why do I feel that the smell of rouge and powder in the room is particularly strong?" After smelling too much, I still feel a little stuffy in my chest.

"Mou worked hard to win the emperor's attention, so can you not spend time on dressing up?" Concubine Hesheli was a special case. She entered the palace not to win favor, but the emperor's move to appease the Hesheli family.She is smart and sees clearly, so she doesn't bother to do these things of fighting for favor.

An He only felt that the smell was getting worse and worse, so he held a handkerchief in front of his nose, until Kangxi got up to send the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassion, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: he could finally go back to his bedroom.

"Master's complexion is a bit grim, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that she was frowning slightly, Fei Lan asked.

"Perhaps I'm bored. It's okay. I'll call the imperial doctor tomorrow for a safe pulse." An He felt that he urgently needed to rest, and the turbid air in his chest couldn't be suppressed, but he felt like vomiting.

"Yes." Feilan hurriedly sent people back to tell Madam Wanyan to prepare hot water, so that An He could wash up as soon as she returned.

The next day, when Dr. Wang came to take his pulse, he brought good news to An He. An He was already pregnant for more than a month.Although An He was happy, he remembered that another imperial physician hadn't found anything when he came to take the pulse, so he asked.

"At that time, I was afraid that the pulse of the little master was too shallow to be diagnosed, so I couldn't find it in time." Doctor Wang replied, "Your master should have a good rest during this period, so as not to hurt your mind. My minister will prescribe an anti-fetal medicine for you The prescription, please take it on time, my lord."

"There's an old doctor here." An He sent Doctor Wang away, and the queen brought people over.

"Look at you, the lack of appetite a while ago was probably related to pregnancy, so I didn't pay attention." The queen was both happy and scared, and couldn't help nagging.

"I know I made a mistake, and I will definitely correct it in the future." An He stroked her stomach, feeling very novel.Historically, Concubine Wen Xi had never given birth to a child at this time, so I don't know if her birth is a variable.But now that she is pregnant, she must take good care of her and give birth to the child safely.
