[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Three days after he was canonized as the crown prince, Hong Hui brought his son Fujin to the palace to pay his respects.

Honghui is Yinzhen's eldest son, and now that Yinzhen has become the crown prince, his status has naturally risen. He got married last spring, and he married Fujin, the daughter of Niu Colu's family, Zhuo Yuan's grandniece.

This was not proposed by Zhuo Yuan, but Yinzhen and Ulanara clan made a decision first, and then came to ask Zhuo Yuan for his opinion, and after getting his consent, they asked for the marriage proposal.

I heard that the Tong family has been unhappy for a while because of this, and Mrs. Tong even went to the palace to talk about it with Concubine Yi.

However, Imperial Concubine Yi was already holding fire with her natal family because of E Linzhu's affairs, and then she was angered by her father's two-sided betting.

So he ignored the other party, barely said a few words, and served tea to see off the guests.

On one side is the baby girl who is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the filial son who has been raised under her knees since she was a little old, and on the other side is her natal family who has been away for many years. Not to mention, the choice of Concubine Yi is naturally self-evident.

Chengqian Palace.

"Grandson/granddaughter-in-law, please greet Grandmother Huang and Grandmother Wen..." The young couple saluted together.

Zhuo Yuan smiled and said: "Get up quickly," and pointed out the seats for them, and made them serve refreshments.

Honghui is a young man who is very similar to Yinzhen. At first glance, the first impression he gives is two words - reliable!

He sat down with Fujin, and said with a smile: "This time I came to visit the two grandmothers, one is to say hello, and the other is to announce the good news."

Both Yimin and Zhuo Yuan looked up at him.

He only heard him say: "This morning, Fujin was found to be pregnant, and in a few months, you two will have a great-grandson." Xiao Niu Gulu's face beside him was also full of smiles.

Yi Min was naturally happy. She took Xiao Niu Gulu's hand and asked, "Have you notified Concubine Yi? As well as the Emperor, the fourth wife..."

Xiao Niu Gulu said quickly: "Huang Mafa's place has already been notified, and Ama Erniang's is also there. Only grandma's is there. The uncle said that he will go to announce the good news in person later."

Yimin nodded, and told her carefully how to avoid pregnant women. From time to time, she even told Honghui to take care of his wife.

Knowing that they were going to see Concubine Yi, Zhuo Yuan and Yi Min didn't stay any longer, and let them go after saying a few words.

Seeing the backs of them leaving hand in hand, one is tall and powerful, the other is dignified and elegant, they are a pair of lovers made in heaven!

Yimin thought to herself: Even if you don't look at the family background, but just look at the individual, none of the girls selected by the Tong family can compare with her, whether it is in bearing, ability, or vision...

Hong Hui is the eldest son, so his Fujin was naturally selected by the fourth couple. The requirements for him must be prior to the requirements for his family background. From this point alone, the Tong family's girls It's out.

Not to mention... Now the Tong family is very likely to be in the book of the fourth master!

……

After entering Kangxi for 53 years, Kangxi seems to be nostalgic overnight...

Suddenly he began to frequently summon some senior concubines, often having meals, playing chess, chatting, visiting the garden and so on.

Not to mention Yimin and Concubine Yi, the rest, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, Concubine Jing...even Concubine Xuan, have all been summoned to meet several times. Grounded in the Palace of Yanxi Palace.

You know, in the past ten years, Han concubines in the harem have entered the palace one after another. Although these high-ranking concubines are important and Kangxi is also very face-saving, but if you talk about holy favors, they are really gone.

Kangxi came here suddenly, not to mention what concubines Xuan, who had never been treated by Kangxi before, thought, that is, concubines Yi, concubine Rong, concubine Cheng... these concubines who have long been accustomed to a peaceful life and play with their grandchildren Also very confused.

It's super speechless, okay? It's the same as re-employment after retirement, and it's mandatory!

……

In the imperial garden, the emperor and Concubine Wen walked and chatted together.

"I remember that Hong Xu from the old ten family should be of school age?" Kangxi asked with a smile as he patted Concubine Wen Gui on the arm supporting him.

Yimin smiled slightly: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, Hong Xu has grown up so much, my concubine still remembers his full moon appearance, a small ball..."

She moved her eyes down, and lightly swept over Kangxi's trembling right hand without knowing it, the smile on her face remained unchanged.

Since the first prince was abolished, Kangxi's physical condition was not very good, his hands often trembled, and he seemed to have a stroke.

——I heard that the excerpts during this period were all written by Yinzhen on his behalf.

Walking through the cobblestone path, the group bumped into several low-ranking concubines head-on.As soon as they saw Kangxi and his party, their eyes lit up, and they all stepped forward to salute.

Yimin looked at these young and charming faces, and then turned her head to look at Kangxi's old face, in her heart, she couldn't help but want to sigh.

But she was impatient to reminisce with Kangxi, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since the younger sisters just met by chance, why don't you go for a walk together, there are so many people and it's lively..."

One party intends to withdraw, and the other party intends to join.

But within an instant of incense, the person supporting Kangxi changed from Yimin to a certain person surnamed Chen, and Yimin also stood a little further away from Kangxi.

After walking for a while, Yi Min was thinking about how to resign Kangxi first, and wanted to go back to Yongshou Palace to rest and sleep early.

See you - misfortune happens!

On the next step, Kangxi fell down!

He fell headfirst!

It stands to reason that he is an emperor, and he is old, so the people who serve him are naturally extra careful, so it is impossible for him to have a chance to fall, but... the eunuchs and maids who accompanied him were all pushed aside by several concubines.

And those concubines were not strong enough, and when the incident happened, they couldn't support and hold him in time, which caused Kangxi to fall down the stairs with a bang.

Then switch the time back to when Kangxi was about to fall.

In fact, Yimin was in a very coincidental position at that time. If she had reacted in time, she would have been able to grab him, or pounce on him as a pawn.

but……

Sometimes, people's consciousness and thoughts are extremely strange. At that moment, Yi Min never thought of saving Kangxi.

What she was thinking was: if Kangxi really fell into something wrong, how would she get out of it?And how to explain that she never reached out to hold the other party?

Before she had time to think about it, the next second, almost coincident with the time when Kangxi fell, she gritted her teeth secretly, her knees softened, and let herself fall hard, and when she was hurriedly helped up, she saw herself There were bloodshot marks on the palm of his hand.

To be honest, things happened so fast, Yimin didn't think much about it, a large part of it was relying on subconscious instinct.

And her instinct said: she would rather hurt herself than pull Kangxi.

……

Kangxi's fall was a bit hard, and he passed out on the spot. He was already old, and he still showed signs of stroke in the past two years, and his body was very brittle.

Concubine Wen Gui, as the person with the highest status present, naturally wanted to stand up and preside over the overall situation at this moment.

She touched her beating heart, tried her best to calm down, and ordered: "Hurry up and get someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and then go and inform the empress, prince, and concubine Yi..."

Waiting for the imperial doctor to come and confirm several fractures, they were carefully immobilized and Kangxi was carried back to Qianqing Palace.

When Zhuo Yuan, Concubine Yi, Yin Zhen and others arrived after hearing the news, Kangxi was still receiving treatment inside, while Yi Min stayed outside, and a medical woman was helping her to bandage the wound on her hand.

After basically explaining the situation to them, Yimin pressed the center of her eyebrows wearily, "...that's probably the case, the accident happened suddenly, and everyone didn't react..."

Looking at her hand wrapped in gauze, Zhuo Yuan asked softly: "What's the matter with your hand?"

Yimin smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "I was shocked by the emperor's movement, and I didn't stand firmly on my feet, so I fell down, it's nothing serious."

Concubine Yi said, "Go to the side hall and rest for a while. If there is anything wrong, we will send someone to call you."

Yinzhen also echoed: "Yes, you must have been shocked today, go and rest for a while..."

Seeing their concerned eyes, Yimin felt warmed up, and went to the side hall to rest as she said. She is not young now, and this time she was really tired, both mentally and physically.

……

As soon as she woke up, she received two messages: First, Kangxi woke up and just took medicine and fell asleep.Second, one leg and one arm of Kangxi were broken, and he had to stay in bed to recuperate. During this period of time, the affairs of the DPRK and China were taken care of by the prince...

Yimin's first reaction was: Is it just a broken bone?

It's a pity!

……

That night, Chengqian Palace.

After waiting in Qianqing Palace for a long time, Zhuo Yuan was extremely tired, but she never fell asleep.

It wasn't until late at night that Sang Ruo walked into the room with a nanny that she fixed her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "How is it going?"

The nanny lowered her head, and said in a calm voice, "Going back to your mother, everything has been done, and the medicine has already been put in."

Feeling relieved, the corners of Zhuo Yuan's lips curled up, "Very good!"

There are many secret medicines in her hands, most of which were collected by Ge Fuhe in Mongolia.

Not to mention that the Mongolian aristocrats themselves had many strange but very effective prescriptions. Let’s just say that Genghis Khan obtained many secret recipes from various places during the Southern and Northern Wars. Although most of them were destroyed, many of them were still handed down.Not all of them are so subtle that even the imperial doctor can't detect them.

Ever since she thought about it, she wanted to find a chance to attack the emperor.

But... Qianqing palace is tight outside and inside, and the emperor attaches great importance to his own safety, so she really didn't find a loophole for a while.

Even though she has been a powerful queen for 37 years, she is proficient in the practicality of palace power and personnel scheduling, and even has her own nails in the Qianqing Palace, but if she really does that, she still lacks some opportunities.

——Fortunately, with God's help, the emperor had an accident and she found a chance.

Zhuo Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly on his lips.

……

Originally, although Kangxi's injury was a bit serious, he just needed to take good care of him.

But from the third day of his recuperation, he has been suffering from minor illnesses, either a cold or a fever, and his trembling hands have become more and more serious.

The doctor didn't find anything wrong.

Everyone, including Kangxi himself, felt that it was because he was getting older and his body was not as good as before.

In the face of aging, some people are very calm and think it is a natural law, but some people can't accept it. Kangxi is obviously the latter. He has a hard time accepting the fact that he is getting old, and his temper has become much more irritable.

When facing the young and strong prince, he became more and more picky, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes.

……

Kangxi was injured, so the concubines in the harem naturally had to actively participate in the sickness.

Especially Concubine Yi.

In order to say good things to Yinzhen when necessary, so that Kangxi would not criticize too much, she would go to Qianqing Palace almost every day, and she never gave rewards to the maids and eunuchs.

For more than a month, Kangxi's attitude towards Yinzhen has softened a bit, but she has also lost a lot of weight and is haggard.

Seeing the bruises in her eyes, Yimin couldn't help but said: "I'm here today, so you can go back and rest."

In fact, everyone works in shifts, and the workload is not very heavy, just like Yi Min, who only needs to come to the Qing Palace for half a day every three days, and there are palace maids to help. Kangxi talked and handed him some medicine or something.

But Concubine Yi is different. Ever since Yinzhen was reprimanded by Kangxi frequently, she has been serving illnesses in front of Kangxi every day, diligently and diligently, and refused to lie to others in everything.

Only then did Kangxi soften his heart a little.

Hearing her words, Concubine Yi smiled and shook her head, "No, I'll be more at ease if I stay here, otherwise even if I go back, I'll always be thinking wildly..."

Yimin couldn't persuade her, so she could only sigh.

At noon, Kangxi went to bed early, Yi Min said: "Let's go to the side hall to sleep for a while." Kangxi has already slept, so naturally there is no need for them to stay here.

Concubine Yi hesitated for a while, then said, "Go and rest first, I'll be back later."

After watching Yimin leave, she turned around and told the maid: "The emperor has been having nightmares these past two days, and his sleep is extremely restless. Go and fetch the tranquilizing incense, order more..."

The maid quickly replied: "Yes." She went to fetch incense and light it.

Concubine Yi stood there watching, until the smell of Anshenxiang filled the whole room, then she lifted her foot and left.

But she did not rest in the arranged room, but sat quietly on the bed, silently calculating the time in her heart.

After about half an hour, her half-closed eyes slowly opened. She did not bring a maid, nor did she disturb Yi Min who was sleeping in the next room, but walked slowly to the bedroom of Qianqing Palace alone.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace had just changed a group of maids, and when they saw her coming, they all looked respectful, and because they were afraid of disturbing the sleeping emperor, they could only whisper: "I have seen the empress, what orders does the empress have?" ?"

During this period of time, Concubine Yi had to come to Qianqing Palace every day, and the ladies in the palace were used to it, so it is not unusual to see her now.

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "I don't worry about the emperor, come and have a look, you just go to your own business, there is no need to come in to serve."

Those maids looked at each other, hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes."

If it was someone else, they would definitely stop her, but the other party was Concubine Yi, the adoptive mother of the prince, and the rewards she got from her these days alone amounted to dozens of taels...

Walking into the inner room, the smell of Anshenxiang became more and more obvious.

Kangxi fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Concubine Yi called softly.

It wasn't until he called more than a dozen times and still didn't see any movement from the other party, that he smiled, and finally called out: "Your Majesty..."

She pulled out a hairpin from her head, twisted it slightly, and poured out a thin rusty needle from it. Without the slightest hesitation, she gently lifted a corner of the gauze on Kangxi's leg.

Then... from the hidden place where the fracture was red and swollen, he stabbed in quickly and ruthlessly!

At this moment, she was thinking a lot. She thought of Yinzhen, Erlinzhu and Tai Fenzhu, and even more, many, many years ago, when she and Concubine Wen were very young, when Yinyi not yet born...

For a while, Concubine Wen liked to read some weird books, and whenever she saw something, she liked to tell her and the queen.

She forgets some things after hearing them, but she remembers some things very firmly, such as... don't let the wound touch the rust, and don't let the rust-stained sharp objects pierce the body...

Kangxi frowned in his sleep, but he didn't wake up after all.

Concubine Yi just looked at him quietly, until his face calmed down again, then put the needle back into the hairpin, and then slowly tied the gauze back on.

She is very skillful, it seems that she is used to it these days.

Taking one last look at Kangxi, she smiled lightly—cousin, don't worry, my Yinzhen will be a good emperor.

Before going out of the inner room, she went to the incense burner and added some tranquilizing incense into it.

——The imperial doctor said that the emperor has been having nightmares for some reason recently, so he added a lot of drugs to calm the nerves and help sleep in the decoction.

——Combined with an excessive amount of tranquilizing incense, no matter who it is, they will have to sleep for a while...

……

Three days later, Yi Min woke up early in the morning and heard that Concubine Yi was ill, and she did not go to the Qing Palace to attend to her sickness today.

She was about to pack up and go to visit Yi Er, when someone reported that Kangxi had a high fever and was not well.

Yimin: ...

Can't it?As soon as Concubine Yi was away, Kangxi became seriously ill?

But no matter how much she complained in her heart, Yimin went to Qianqing Palace immediately to start a new round of sickness.

……

Kangxi's illness this time was different from the past, and the imperial physicians worked day and night, but they couldn't alleviate it.

On the third day of high fever, the seventh day of June in the 53rd year of Kangxi, the death knell sounded for the Forbidden City.

Kangxi, the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs - passed away!

……

Kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace, when the sound of "the emperor's death" and the cry of the prince sounded at the same time, everyone bowed down and knelt down, crying loudly.

At the front of the crowd, the Empress, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Wen also wiped away their tears.

But what they think in their hearts is completely different from what they show.

Concubine Yi: Success, success, effort was not in vain!

Yimin: No, why did Kangxi burp early?No, it can't be because I didn't pull him, right?No way?

Zhuo Yuan: Why is it different from what was expected? Is the secret medicine so powerful?

The author has something to say: Kangxi: So how did I die?

Concubine Yi: I did it!

Zhuo Yuan: I did it!

Yi Min: Maybe... I did it too?
