"Little Master!"

Concubine Niu Hulu's concubine Taozhi rushed into the Buddhist hall in the back hall of Yikun Palace in ecstasy, panting and calling out to concubine Niu Hulu who was kneeling on the futon.

She didn't care about the annoyed Tang Nanny who was standing next to her, and she was so excited that she almost cried out.

"Master, the emperor is driving the Yikun Palace!"

Before Concubine Niu Gulu could speak, Nanny Tang was overjoyed: "Really?"

She felt that she had slipped her words again, so she slapped herself lightly, and then looked at Concubine Niu Colu, who was still kneeling on the futon, reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Master, hurry up, hurry up, the emperor is coming, you need to dress up properly!"

"What are you changing clothes for? I'm afraid it's just for the two beautiful girls sent today."

Concubine Niu Colu stopped reciting Buddhist scriptures and said calmly.

What does she not understand about the Queen's thoughts?The show girls sent here are the two best-born and best-looking students in this batch.

One was born in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Shufei Jia Yuanchun, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Rong. He was about to be elected to the palace that year.

The other one was Concubine Guo Luoluo, who was born with a common Manchu surname in Xianghuang Banner. Although her biological father's official position was not high, she was a worthy concubine.

Any one of these two people is likely to be the first to win the emperor's favor, and once conferred the title of concubine or concubine, it will become the main seat of Yikun Palace.

And I... I'm afraid I have to wait on the newcomers.

Concubine Niu Colu closed her eyes and began to chant reverently again, but a drop of crystal tears quickly wet her eyelashes.

Now she has lost all thought of the emperor's favor, and only asks the Buddha to bless her father and Niu Yulu's family, who have been imprisoned for several months, to be safe.

"Master, the master is still in prison, and the young master is only four years old. If you can't stand up... Niu Yulu's house..."

Nurse Tang exchanged a worried look with Tao Zhi, then leaned close to Concubine Niu Colu and whispered in Concubine Niu's ear.

Concubine Niu Colu Shu trembled.

When Kangxi arrived, Concubine Niu Colu and Concubine had already changed into a plain water-blue palace dress with only a little embroidery on the corners, and only a silver-gilt hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head. The new concubine Yingying bowed to him.

The two concubines couldn't wait to change into the most gorgeous costumes and looked up at Kangxi tenderly, their eyes full of shyness and expectation.

Kangxi didn't notice the two of them at all, all his attention was on Concubine Niu Yulu, and he was frightened by her current appearance.

When we met at the beginning of last year, Concubine Niu Colu still had a round face with a bit of baby fat, and two deep dimples when she smiled, and her plump figure was called slightly fat.

But now he seems to be a different person, abruptly changing from a curvy gourd to a straight cabbage.

Not to mention the pale and haggard face, sharp chin, at an age that should have been carefree, but now his eyes were stained with a touch of melancholy.

"Why is Aifei so thin?"

Kangxi frowned and tried to hold Concubine Niu Hulu's hand, but she avoided her immediately.

Kangxi's smile suddenly froze on his face, he was a little annoyed but he couldn't restrain himself, he shook off Concubine Niu Colu and walked into the hall with big strides.

The two concubines secretly glanced at Concubine Niu Colu, Concubine Guo Luoluo hesitated for a while and took the lead to bravely follow Kangxi into the main hall.

Not to be outdone, Concubine Jia Shu hurriedly followed.

But the more he walked into the main hall, the more strange Kangxi felt.

It's only spring now, although the weather is getting warmer, it is still unbearable for the delicate and frail concubines in the palace.

The empress's palace is full of charcoal fire, which is very warm, but at the moment, the inside of Yikun's palace is freezing to the bone.

Kangxi, who was used to enjoying it, naturally couldn't take it anymore. He sneezed twice and couldn't help but lose his temper: "Why are the servants of Yikun Palace serving? Why don't you light a charcoal fire in this weather?"

There was no sound at the side, and all the maids in the palace knelt directly on the ground.

Not to mention that the two new concubines were frightened by the atmosphere, Kangxi was stunned and suddenly furious because of the silence and no one begging for mercy or speaking.

He was just about to get angry, but his gaze fell involuntarily on the exposed fingers of one of the trembling maids. Those hands were so red and swollen that they were almost purple, and covered with chilblains.

He widened his eyes, and there was an incredible thought in his heart, holding back his anger, turning around and grabbing Concubine Niu Zhulu's hand.

"No, don't look!"

Concubine Niu Colu was struggling with a bit of crying, struggling very hard, avoiding Kangxi's gaze in horror.

"Okay, what a queen!"

Kangxi looked at the hands in front of him, and finally couldn't help the overwhelming anger in his heart.

He was so angry that his chest heaved and his eyes were bloodshot, even Liang Jiugong who was standing behind was frightened by the emperor's appearance, he couldn't help but curiously stretched his head to look and was staggered in fright.

Where is the hand that a concubine should have?

Concubine Niu Colu's wrists were so thin that only bones remained, her palms were completely cold, and her knuckles were covered with bruises from chilblains.

Kangxi caressed Concubine Niu Colu's hand with regret, his heart throbbing with pain, remorse and anger at the same time.

He took a deep breath and angrily reprimanded the kneeling maids: "Why did you not let the imperial doctor take a good look at it?!"

The palace maids knelt down tremblingly and did not dare to make a sound. Only Madam Tang shuddered and took two steps forward, kowtowed vigorously, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for the young master! The young master has announced the imperial doctor several times, but the imperial doctor said that he can only keep it carefully and not get cold... But since the end of last year, not to mention silver silk charcoal, even ordinary Yikun Palace couldn’t get all the charcoal fires, all they got was Chao’s charcoal fires! Even the meals..."

"Mommy!"

Kangxi hugged Concubine Niu Colu who was exclaiming, staring at Nanny Tang with raging anger in his eyes and a gloomy face.

"Say!"

Nanny Tang gritted her teeth and closed her eyes: "The meal delivered at noon today is still in the Buddhist hall, the emperor will know when he sees it."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Tang Nanny for a long time.

"Liang Jiugong."

"The slave is here."

"Let someone go to the Buddhist hall and bring the meal to me with their own hands!"

"twitter!"

Kangxi regretted it.

Yes, he realized that he really underestimated the concubine of the Qing Dynasty.

I thought they were all girls in their teens, and even if they had some scheming, it was just on the surface, but now if I don't show up in Yikun Palace again, and if I continue to be abused like this, I'm afraid it won't be a few months before news of the news The news of the death of Concubine Colu Concubine came out.

Thinking of the empress dowager's instructions, Kangxi immediately tightened his grip on concubine Niu Colu.

"pain……"

Concubine Niu Colu let out a low cry, and Kangxi looked at her carefully with a cold light in his eyes.

Concubine Niu Colu's body trembled, Kangxi's heart softened and he pursed his lips.

"Liang Jiugong."

"The slave is here."

"The Concubine Niu Colu of Yikun Palace won my heart deeply, and passed the decree to be promoted to Concubine Zhao."

"……twitter!"

"emperor!"

Concubine Niu Colu suddenly raised her head in shock, and stared blankly at Kangxi, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Gui Zhi who was kneeling behind heard the emperor's imperial decree, trembling with excitement.

The little master's hard days are finally over!

There is only the young master in the palace, no, the master is a concubine with a title.

"Is the concubine still not accepting the order?"

"Concubine, concubine accepts the order!"

With a bit of crying, Concubine Zhao bowed to Kangxi Yingying, finally there was a little smile on Kangxi's face, he caressed the back of Concubine Zhao's hand unhurriedly, the more he touched the rough and uneasy place, the more annoyed he felt.

He turned his face and stared impatiently at the two stunned concubines standing beside him.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

"Slave, slave..."

The two concubines turned pale with fright.

They came to Yikun Palace not without the idea of ​​being able to climb on the head of Concubine Zhao and become the head of the first palace, but now that Concubine Niu Colu became Concubine Zhao, they were completely shattered.

Under Kangxi's increasingly cold eyes, the two of them had no choice but to resign in embarrassment.

"The concubine is sick. If the emperor wants to stay overnight, it is better to keep a younger sister..."

Seeing Concubine Zhao's weak opening, her frightened expression made Kangxi's movements more gentle, thinking that she was frightened by the previous incident.

The footsteps of the two concubines suddenly slowed down, they turned sideways and wished that Kangxi would turn around and come in if he said to stay.

"Can't I just look at my concubine for a while longer?"

Kangxi laughed angrily at Concubine Zhao's words, "Xuan Xu Imperial Physician—bring the imperial physician who usually treats Concubine Zhao, I will see what he has to say."

"twitter!"

Not long after, Imperial Physician Zhang, who had heard the news, and Imperial Physician Xu, who specially treated Kangxi, followed the little imperial eunuch into the Yikun Palace.

Doctor Xu was fine, after saluting to Kangxi, he carefully checked Concubine Zhao's palm, and quickly made a judgment.

"Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Zhao's hands were severely frostbited, and after a while, the medicine will be applied externally, and it will get better after a period of time. It's just..."

Doctor Xu frowned as he looked at the prescriptions handed to her by the palace maid Guizhi.

"Ok?"

"This medicine is all for nourishing the blood. Although drinking it will not harm the body, it will not be harmful to the disease of the empress."

Doctor Zhang, who stood aside and was usually in charge of treating Concubine Zhao, thumped in his heart. When he met Kangxi's murderous eyes, he fell to his knees in fright, trembling all over.

"Sir...Sir..."

"Come on, drag this disloyal slave down—"

"Your Majesty," Concubine Zhao couldn't help but say, "After all, Imperial Physician Zhang didn't... Please let him live!"

"...I never thought that my concubine would be so merciful, that the imperial physician who murdered me would be willing to let go...Since Ai concubine has spoken, then I will drag imperial physician Zhang out and punish him for thirty."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and the initial tenderness disappeared from his eyes, and he turned to Doctor Xu who was standing on the side.

"Concubine Zhao will be handed over to Imperial Doctor Xu. I hope to see a healthy Concubine Zhao. Do you understand?"

"The minister obeys the order."

He took a deep look at Concubine Zhao: "I'm going back to Qianqing Palace, my concubine should have a good rest, I'll come to see you again in two days."

"Yes, the concubine sent the emperor respectfully."
