Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 18 Concubine Congratulations to Kangxi

"Get up, this Yongshou Palace is rarely so lively." Chen Xiuming sat on the main seat.

"Thank you, Madam." After the concubines got up and sat down, Concubine De opened the mouth first, "Before, it was because the concubine was happy and quiet, and it was not easy for the concubines to disturb the purity of the concubine. Now that the concubine is very happy, she should come and send it It's a congratulatory gift."

"Sister Defei said that the empress only entered the palace for more than a month, and she has such a blessing. It really makes the courtiers and concubines envious, so they want to come to enjoy the blessing of the empress." Concubine Hui is the elder brother's biological mother. Having a child is not envious, but her own son is not allowed to say some compliments now.

"I would like to borrow the auspicious words from Concubine Hui, adding a few elder princesses to the palace is also very lively. In recent years, there have been fewer children in the palace and it has become quite deserted." Concubine De thought of it when she said this. Fourteen elder brothers.

Brother Fourteen has been very busy doing business with Kangxi recently, so he has little time to go to the palace to pay his respects to Concubine De.

"There are still 21 elder brothers in the Yonghe Palace of Defei's sister, which is not deserted, but the Yikun Palace in this palace is really deserted." There are no young concubines in Yifei Palace, and Kangxi doesn't go there often, so it's really deserted. It was really deserted.

The concubines and concubines from the palaces below also rarely got together, and they talked a lot, but they seemed to have deep feelings.

Chen Xiuming just sat in the main seat drinking tea and didn't say anything, until Concubine Yi said, "The imperial concubine is not in good health, but it's a bit cold in this palace during the day and night, why don't you go to the palace?" Yongshou Palace will allocate some carbon for use first."

"There is no carbon distribution in the other palaces, so there is no need for this palace, and it's not cold these days." Chen Xiuming didn't want to be a unique person in the palace, so she wanted to push it away.

"The imperial concubine's body is different from other people's. This is not without precedent in the palace." Concubine Rong said, "Besides, this carbon is not a precious item. Now that the empress uses the storeroom, it can be added. It is not troublesome."

"Yeah, the four of us were also discussing when and when we should send out charcoal before, and the empress has cooled down these days because of her refusal. Why don't you start to emit charcoal in the past few days. Empress, let's emit more here, and other palaces. Just send it less." Concubine De is now the leader of the four concubines, no one objected to her words.

"That's what makes it so, it's hard work for you."

"It's not hard for us to divide some cases. Although the people below will work harder, it's good that they can get a lot of money before the year." Concubine De said.

"It's also possible. There are not many concubines in the palace now. Compared with previous years, the expenditure is relatively small, and the income of the people below is also less. This is also a good thing."

Several people chatted like this for a long time, and the lowly concubine did not speak.

After all the concubines left, Chen Xiuming told Madam Su, "Mommy, go to the warehouse to see what is there, and send some to each palace. Don't exceed the quota and don't be too lowly."

It was the first time Chen Xiuming entered the palace in January thinking about sending things to the palaces. After staying in the palace for decades, Madam Su knew what to send and what not to send.

"Yes, ma'am."

Chen Xiuming also thought that it was time to visit the Queen Mother after giving orders to Madam Su.

When I went to the queen mother, I saw Kangxi.

"Long live my concubine, please greet me, and my concubine, Long live God, I wish you peace and prosperity. I greet the queen mother, and my mother is blessed and safe." Chen Xiuming raised the handkerchief in his hand as a salute.

"Come and sit down." Kangxi pointed to the lower chair.

"Thank you Long Live Lord, Queen Mother." Chen Xiuming sat down and asked, "Why is Lord Long Live here at Queen Mother's place at this hour?"

Chen Xiuming also seldom saw Kangxi at the Queen Mother's place. Usually, after she came, Kangxi came to the Queen Mother's place after he went down to handle his official business for a while.

"Today's hand hurts and I can't write, so I let the fourth child take someone to deal with it. It's time for me to rest. I just came to the empress's place to wait for you, and I will go to your Yongshou Palace in a while."

"What happened to Long Live's hand?" Chen Xiuming was very worried.

"It's okay, just rest for a few days." Kangxi replied with a smile.

Kangxi went to the court today as usual, and after the next court, he was reviewing the memorials in the Qianqing Palace. Just as he was about to write the comments, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and the ink brush in Kangxi's hand fell off.

When Li Dequan saw this, he came forward to inquire, and sent someone to invite the imperial physician.When the imperial doctor arrived, Kangxi was no longer in pain, but the previous pain made Kangxi pale.

The imperial doctor did not come to a conclusion, but Kangxi still felt the pain, so he had to stop Zhu Pide's thoughts, and passed on that Prince Yong, who was on duty in the household department, discussed court affairs with a group of ministers, and reported to Kangxi when he couldn't handle it. Kangxi got leisure because of this.

Although seeing Kangxi's relaxed appearance, Chen Xiuming was still very worried, but she couldn't ask any more questions after Kangxi said so.

"Why do you only care about the emperor? You are also going to be a mother, and you have to take care of yourself." The queen mother stood up when she saw Chen Xiuming in a hurry. "Speaking of which, you are also a lucky child. She was pregnant within a month of entering the palace."

"Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of the emperor's mother. It is the blessing of the Long Live Lord that can make the concubines have children."

"Concubine De and the others also went to Yongshou Palace today, and your place is very quiet on weekdays, but today you feel it's noisy," the queen mother asked.

"No, it's Concubine De and the others who have intentions, thinking that the concubine is weak, so they have brought forward the date of carbon distribution, which makes the concubine very ashamed."

"It's their duty to take care of pregnant concubines in the palace, but now that you are less pregnant than them, it may disturb your leisure time and make you feel bad."

"The concubine knows."

The Empress Dowager often said that she would not let Chen Xiuming have contact with concubines, but she should be more careful now that she is pregnant.Whether intentional or not, or an accident is a disaster.

After staying in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace for a while and having some snacks, Chen Xiuming took the things that the Empress Dowager rewarded and went back to Yongshou Palace with Kangxi.

When we returned to Yongshou Palace, the carbon had already been delivered.Chen Xiuming did not expect this speed to be so fast.

"This carbon looks really good, Li Dequan, pick something to send to the palaces." Kangxi glanced at the carbon.

"Yes."

"Come and sit down, you are so tired even standing up now."

It has to be said that although there is a gap in age between Chen Xiuming and Kangxi, Kangxi's physical condition cannot be said to be stronger than that of Kangxi. Chen Xiuming also felt very tired after being reminded by Kangxi.

Before dinner, Imperial Physician Zhou was also ordered to ask Chen Xiuming for a pulse, but Imperial Physician Zhou didn't say anything, but prescribed an anti-fetal medicine, and ordered Chen Xiuming to take a morning meal once a day Just drink.

Because Kangxi's hands were sore and he couldn't write, he was free for a few days.

These days, apart from resting at Chen Xiuming's place at night, Kangxi not only went to pay his respects to the queen mother during the day, but also went to visit a few young elder brothers.

After returning to Yongshou Palace, he talked to Chen Xiuming about the loveliness of those elder brothers, and his tone hinted that he hoped that Chen Xiuming would also give birth to a well-behaved and intelligent elder brother.At this time, Chen Xiuming could only smile.

Although she knew that she was supposed to be pregnant with brother 24, she couldn't say it. Chen Xiuming was also a little distressed.

It's just very strange that Jinlong, who only came to Yongshou Palace once in a while before, has stayed in Yongshou Palace since Chen Xiuming was diagnosed with pregnancy.

At first, Chen Xiuming thought it was strange, but after a long time, he ignored it, and let the golden dragon collapse on the bed in the bedroom or coiled on the pillar outside the gate of Yongshou Palace.Chen Xiuming looked at it and thought this golden dragon was very cute...

In the palace, the peaceful days always passed by shortly. No, just at the end of October, it was reported that the political affairs were leaked, and another big event happened in November.

Chen Xiuming didn't know about this at first, after Kangxi recovered, Chen Xiuming went to greet the queen mother from time to time, Chen Xiuming was very surprised by what the queen mother said today.

"Earlier, the emperor loved Prince Li very much... This morning Li Dequan sent someone to say that he touched the emperor's scales again, and the emperor is very angry now... You haven't seen the emperor for two days, go and see the emperor Let the emperor take care of your body and calm down."

"The concubine knows, the Empress Dowager should also be careful." Seeing the Queen Mother, Chen Xiuming looked a little unhappy.

"You have a heart too, Ai's body, Ai's family knows." The queen mother knew that Chen Xiuming was going to persuade Kangxi at this time, saying that it would be good if Chen Xiuming could not fall, but Kangxi had been ordered by the imperial doctor in recent years not to get angry, the queen mother There is no other way.

"The concubine will leave first."

The queen mother waved her hand, and Chen Xiuming withdrew.After going out, I saw snowflakes falling profusely in the sky. The snow in the capital fell early, and now it is the time for snow.

Chen Xiuming arrived at the Qianqing Palace on his shoulders, and Li Dequan stood outside the door.

Seeing Chen Xiuming, Li Dequan hurriedly came over to salute, "My servant greets the imperial concubine and empress, and the imperial concubine and empress are blessed and safe."

"Get up, I have nothing to do today, let's see if Lord Long Live is free." Li Dequan carefully helped Chen Xiuming up the steps.

"Then I have to work hard, my lady, and wait. This servant will go and tell the Lord Long Live that you are here." Li Dequan helped Chen Xiuming to the door, and handed the hand stove in his arms to Chen Xiuming. The Hand Stove Empress takes it first, so as not to freeze."

Chen Xiuming took the stove and said, "Please trouble Manager Li."

Li Dequan hurriedly entered the door with a smile, and after a while Li Dequan helped Chen Xiuming to enter the door.

Chen Xiuming went in and followed Li Dequan to the left, and saw Kangxi standing behind the table with a cold face, on the ground kneeling Prince Yong and another thin man in the prince's uniform.

Chen Xiuming, who still didn't see the golden dragon on Kangxi, was very calm, but apart from Prince Yong's black snake, Chen Xiuming saw a golden snake with dragon horns and four claws on the thin man. dragon.

Now Chen Xiuming knew the identity of that person, the crown prince of Kangxi who was upright and abolished.

Later generations recorded that the prince was not treated harshly even though he was imprisoned after he was abolished. It seems that there is also the meaning of Kangxi. I think the prince who was watched and raised by Kangxi was also deeply loved by Kangxi, even now.
