There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

mid-may.

Since the relationship between Kangxi and the queen gradually became cold a month ago, Kangxi changed his previous favor on the queen and began to implement the standard equalization of rain and dew.

Except for the days when I must go back to the Queen’s Palace to report on the first day and the fifth day of the first day, I occasionally go to see the healthy second elder brother on weekdays, and the rest stay overnight among the elderly and newcomers in turn, which makes the atmosphere of the entire harem gradually change from the tense at the beginning. Be calm.

The most favored ones today are Consort Guo Luoluo and Concubine Hesheli who live in Yikun Palace.

Concubine Guo Luoluo's favor was expected by many concubines. After all, Concubine Guo Luoluo had a charming and affectionate face, and every frown and smile was like a good portrait, but Concubine Hesheli's favor made everyone I can't figure it out.

In terms of appearance, although the concubine Hesheli could be considered a delicate and beautiful woman, she was not the bright and generous style that is popular in the palace today, but rather resembled the slender and soft appearance of Han women in the south of the Yangtze River.

You know, there is more than one Han concubine in the palace, but all of them are lively and quick-spoken.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Concubine Borzigit, who sat on the embroidered pier and listened to the discussions of other concubines, nodded secretly. She did not expect Concubine Yi to be favored by Kangxi so early. The stills are coming!

It's just that this Concubine Hesheli...has never been heard of in history, but I bumped into each other several times during greetings or on the road, except for the first time that the other party was startled by me and showed a frightened look. It looks as cute and docile as a little sheep.

Thinking about how Kangxi favored Han concubines especially when he was old, Borzigit's concubine's eyes flashed suddenly and she suddenly realized.

I'm afraid that in the early years, most of the palaces were tall and bright, but what Kangxi liked was the petite style!

Concubine Borzigit touched her face subconsciously and sighed, this is terrible!

Now her appearance is standard with thick eyebrows and big eyes, similar to the Empress Dowager. Although she is also an outstanding beauty, she is really not outstanding among these beauties in the palace, let alone not Kangxi's dish at all!

"But? Why are there so many people missing today?"

She looked at the group of people chatting, but she didn't see Concubine Dong Shu who was the loudest.

Concubine Dong Shu is no worse than Concubine Guo Luoluo in terms of appearance, and she is even more quick-witted and eloquent. Usually, the other concubines turn pale when they see her.

During this period of time, it was because of the fact that she was not as favored as Concubine Guo Luoluo's indignation, and she was constantly targeting her. Now that she is not present, Concubine Guo Luoluo can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister, I don't know," Concubine Li Shu, who was with Concubine Dong Shu in Zhongcui Palace, replied softly with a flash of envy in her eyes, "Sister Dong felt unwell this morning and called the imperial doctor!"

"sick?"

"Could it be...pregnant?"

These words startled up waves, the joking concubines immediately stopped talking, and looked at each other in surprise.

Concubine Guo Luoluo's hands fell on her knees, and she couldn't help but grasp the hem of her skirt with all her strength.

In less than half an hour, the empress sent Zhou Nanny beside her to the Compassionate Ning Palace to report the good news to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager!

Concubine Dong Shu of Zhongcui Palace is pregnant!

The Empress Dowager was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, I can issue an order to raise the role of Concubine Dong Shu to a concubine, and you must take good care of her!"

"Slave obeys the order!" Nanny Zhou knelt down and kowtowed and said immediately afterward.

"The empress dowager, the mistress checked the records of the imperial hospital. These days, there are several concubines and young masters who have never asked for the Ping An pulse. There is a happy event for the young master Dong. The mistress is afraid that the other young masters will be delayed! So I specially invited you. The Imperial Physician went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask for the pulse of the young lords."

Nanny Zhou looked around at the concubines present, especially staying for a while on one or two concubines whose complexion suddenly changed.

"Oh?"

The empress dowager showed a little smile on her face, "This is a virtuous move by the empress!"

Soon,

Not only Concubine Dong Shu, but also Concubine Nala from Yanxi Palace and Concubine Zhang Shu from Xianfu Palace are all pregnant!

The most favored Concubine Guo Luoluo or Concubine Hesheli is pregnant!You must know, especially Concubine Dong Shu and Concubine Zhang Shu, who are the most unknown in the harem, who have been favored a few times and conceived a dragon heir!

This made the eyes of the remaining concubines red.

Heirs are the most important thing for the royal family, especially for Kangxi who only has two elder brothers under his knees. How can the Empress Dowager have the mind to hold any forum at this moment?

She immediately sent the pregnant concubines back to their respective palaces, and Nala concubine was promoted to concubine, and Zhang Shu was also promoted to concubine just like Dong Shu.

Then they sent someone to tell Kangxi who was still in Qianqing Palace about the happy news of the three pregnancy in the harem. Kangxi smiled even more when he heard this, and his attitude in the court was three points softer than before.

But the good times didn't last long, something happened in the palace within a few days!

"smallpox!?"

Kangxi stood up in disbelief and stared at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground still pale and trembling.

"Yes, yes... Zhongcui Palace is now closed! Eldest Brother had a fever last night, and then receded. In the morning, he had a fever again and had a rash on his body. Doctor Hu's diagnosis is... yes smallpox!"

"……This!"

Kangxi swayed and fell heavily on the chair.

How could he have forgotten smallpox! ?

Regret and panic appeared in his eyes. Smallpox was not like the later generations. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a terminal disease that everyone feared. Being infected with smallpox almost meant death.

Otherwise, after the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager chose her young self instead of Fuquan, and it was not because she had already had smallpox and had immunity and could not die at the same young age as the first emperor.

The little eunuch barely controlled his emotions.

But the fear in his eyes was so clear that Kangxi could tell at a glance that he never lied again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the emperor was speechless for a long time, Liang Jiugong finally couldn't help but approached to remind him.

"...According to my order, the Zhongcui Palace is closed, and anyone inside...is not allowed to come out! Elder Brother...I will hand it over to Imperial Physician Hu."

After a pause, Kangxi said again, "Quickly let someone report this matter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother!"

"The slave obeys the order!!"

At this moment, Zhongcui Palace was in a state of panic, the palace gate was locked from the outside, and dozens of carefully selected guards who had already had smallpox were closely guarded outside the palace wall.

The people inside were not allowed to go out regardless of their identities. The desperate concubine Ma Jiashu immediately went to the elder brother's side regardless of her weak body, which was just confinement—but was thrown out by the doctor Hu !

Concubine Ma Jiashu not only has not suffered from smallpox but is even so weak, if she takes care of her elder brother personally, what should she do?

Qiuyan, who stopped the young master, gritted her teeth and went into the elder brother's room to take care of her personally. The concubine Ma Jiashu had to cry and went into the Buddhist hall to pray to the Buddha and God, and only hope that the elder brother can get through this trouble!

Concubine Li Shu, who was implicated, hid in the bedroom in fear and wept secretly, while Concubine Dong Shu, who had just found out that she was pregnant, was vomiting badly at the moment, and now she was so scared that she couldn't sleep at night after receiving the news!

Smallpox!

The palace people serving in the entire Zhongcui Palace were even more terrified. You must know that the concubines and concubines still have a chance to stay away, but they still have to remove the dirt and clean the items in the palace.

Doctor Hu, who was also locked in Zhongcui Palace, seemed very calm instead.

He had already made a decision in his heart, and it seemed extremely difficult for the elder brother, who had been sick all year round, to survive this calamity.

With this mentality in mind, he relaxed and took heavy medicine frequently, not hoping to make his elder brother healthy in the future, but just hoping to get through this turmoil.

"What! Smallpox!"

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager's expression changed drastically—smallpox took away her most beloved son, and now she wants to take Chengrui away! ?

"The emperor has issued an order to seal the Zhongcui Palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave!"

"Go pass the decree again, let the imperial physician report the condition every day!"

"Yes, the servant obeys the order!"

"Emperor Niang, why did smallpox happen in the palace?" The Empress Dowager's recent joyful mood completely disappeared under the shock of this bad news, and she was extremely uneasy.

"...I just hope Chengrui can survive this calamity."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time and said softly.

Eldest brother, after all, is the emperor's first child, even though he is delicate and frail, he is quite favored by the emperor, but after all, Ma Jia is only the daughter of a small Yuanwailang, and she is a Han girl. I haven't seen him a few times in a year of sickness, and the Empress Dowager has only a trace of pity for Chengrui and no other affection.

As long as Chenghu is fine.

"The Empress Dowager is not good!"

"what happened again?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has entered Zhongcui Palace!"

"what?"

In Zhongcui Palace.

As soon as Kangxi entered, he ordered people to tie up the elder brother's four nurses and pin them to the ground.

The four nurses were frightened out of their wits, and they screamed out their grievances one after another. Concubine Ma Jiashu in the Buddhist hall saw this scene and didn't know that Chengrui's illness was not from heaven but man-made!

She stood at the entrance of the hall limply and was about to cry: "You black-hearted people! Why do you have to use this kind of trick on my son again and again!"

As she spoke, she walked up to Kangxi and knelt down in front of Kangxi, her tears rolled down her cheeks, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for Chengrui! You have to make decisions for slaves!"

Kangxi felt sour in his heart.

Concubine Ma Jiashu's heart is bitter, isn't he bitter?

He looked at Concubine Ma Jiashu silently, swallowed back the blood that welled up in his throat, and his vision was a little distracted for a moment.

"Hurry up and pull the little master away!"

Looking at Kangxi's pale complexion, Liang Jiugong trembled and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is more important!"

Kangxi raised his eyelids, expressionless.

"Search!"

"twitter!"

The two imperial physicians and four young eunuchs rushed into the room in the apse without hesitation and searched carefully, while the other two court ladies were responsible for checking the clothes on the nanny.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there were little eunuchs back and forth carrying things out one after another carefully in the middle of the courtyard.

As things changed more and more, Kangxi, who had been mentally prepared, turned pale.

Concubine Ma Jiashu, who was standing aside, was still in the mood to cry at the moment, her eyes widened and she was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, all these were found on Nanny's body!"

At this moment, the palace ladies also spoke out, and one of the nurses had already collapsed on the ground, her face was pale and her whole body was trembling.

"Gag your mouth and drag it down, stick to death."

Kangxi didn't even look at the things handed over by the maid, he felt dirty in his heart, his tone was calm but the anger in his heart burned more and more intensely.

He strode to the various decorations, furniture, fabrics and accessories that were taken out under the command of the imperial physician.

"My lord—these are dirty things!"

Liang Jiugong repeatedly stepped forward to stop Kangxi, begging in his eyes.

"I understand."

At the same time, the two concubines in the side hall also noticed this situation, especially Concubine Dong who was pregnant suddenly felt a stomachache. She was terrified and helped out of the room by the maid, and Concubine Li stood beside her with a blank face.

A lot of unclean things were quickly found in their house. Fortunately, it seemed that they had been in the palace for a short time. Most of the things were bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and not many were found.

"This is my harem!!"

Seeing this scene, Kangxi finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

"emperor!"
