[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

"...so the servants speculate that Wei Changzai should still be hiding in the palace. Gao Gu and others searched the surrounding palaces at that time, but they didn't find anyone because it was not easy to search in a big way." Liang Jiugong continued.

Kangxi frowned, "We must be found in the shortest possible time."

Turning to look at Concubine De again, she said softly, "Now that you are in charge of palace affairs, you should take more care, this matter is very important."

Concubine De lowered her gaze, "I don't know why the emperor is looking for this Wei family."

Kangxi sighed, "That evil animal Yinyi once had a secret agreement with Cewang Allah Butan in Mobei, and wanted to collude with him. This Wei family was born exactly like Cewang's dead wife, and for some reason, he met him once. It was determined that it was the reincarnation of his deceased wife, and he never forgot it. So that evil animal took advantage of my absence in the capital to fake the illusion of his death, intending to rob her out of the palace and give it to Ce Huang as a gift."

"The plan has actually already served me and offered the same conditions."

As early as after finding out that the elder brother had colluded with Galdan, Kangxi followed the clues to find out the clue of Ce Wang.

If the elder brother can offer a higher price than the prince to make Ce Wang tempted, then Kangxi, as the emperor, can naturally give a more generous promise than the elder brother.

So Ce Wangming flirts with the eldest brother on the surface, but in fact the real backstage is Kangxi.

Kangxi shook his head helplessly, being coveted by outsiders as a concubine in the harem, in detail, this matter was a disgrace to him, but firstly, the Wei family had never been favored, and secondly, she was already a dead person on the surface, so it happened to be easy to agree down.

"It's very important to make a fool of himself. He is more aware of current affairs than Gardan, and he has already promised to bow down to my Qing Dynasty."

It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to completely conquer and directly rule the vast grasslands in the north.The manpower and material resources consumed are too huge, and the gains outweigh the losses.Therefore, it is best to have a ruler who knows the current affairs and is willing to bow his head.

"This man is a lover, and he has a deep affection for his dead wife. Since he believes that the Wei family is the reincarnation of his dead wife, he just uses this to get married. In the future, my Qing Dynasty can also insert a pawn in the Zhungeer Khanate."

Concubine De's heart sank, her thoughts flashed, and she finally sighed secretly.

Facing Kangxi, she showed a decent smile, "Your Majesty, let me tell you, my concubine knows about this matter, so there is no need for Director Liang to bother."

***

That evening, Wei Rong got up and began to pack the things in the hut.

After resting for most of the day, although she still had a fever, her physical strength improved a lot.

According to the agreement, I will leave the palace tomorrow morning.

Concubine De has made arrangements to go directly to Wu Ya's mansion tomorrow.

She simply tidied up two clean little clothes, and it's fine that she couldn't take away the other things, but the books in this cabinet are a pity, and several of them have been annotated by herself.How about entrusting Yinzhen after leaving the palace...

Forget it, it's better to keep a distance first, Wei Rong smiled wryly and shook her head.

Take your eyes off the row of books.

There was a puppy barking at her feet, Wei Rong looked down, and saw that the little white dog was surrounding her feet, rubbing her nose against her little shoes.

After being raised for two months, the puppy has grown a lot.

It was clearly the dog of Fourteenth Elder Brother, but that kid only came once after that, and he was never seen again. I don't know if he was banned by Concubine De, or he just lost interest in puppies.Recalling the appearance of him playing with the puppy Le Diandian that time, it should be the former.

But it will be fine when I leave, and Concubine De doesn't have to be nervous all the time about her timing, bombing, bombing.

She leaned over and patted its little head, "Your real master will come to pick you up tomorrow. He is a good boy. You will grow up with him in the future, maybe you will become a general dog."

The puppy barked twice in a half-understanding manner.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.

Before Wei Rong could get up in time, the door was pushed open.

When Wei Rong looked at it, it was like falling into an ice cellar for an instant.

Standing at the front was Liang Jiugong, looking at Wei Rong with surprise on his face: "Wei Changzai is indeed here."

Wei Rong only felt cold all over, and almost passed out.

Liang Jiugong was followed by five or six young eunuchs, and Nanny Guan, who was next to Concubine De, stood beside her with a complicated expression on her face.

Was she betraying herself?

No, if she wanted to betray her, she would have betrayed her long ago, and besides, it wouldn't do her any good!

Liang Jiugong glanced around the room, and said with a smile, "The grievances are always there in such a humble place. Come with me quickly."

Wei Rong supported the door frame, expressionless.

Sister Guan bowed and said: "Mr. Liang wait a moment, Master Wei's make-up is messy now, if he meets the emperor in person, he might be rude, why don't I wash and dress him first, and then go with you."

Liang Jiugong thought about it too, nodded and said, "Then leave it to the nanny."

Nanny Guan nodded, stepped forward and took Wei Rong's hand, "Master, please come with me."

Wei Rong was so upset that she could only follow her out of the wooden house.

The night wind was cool, and it blew on Wei Rong's body, making her body cold. She thought she could escape from the shackles, but in a blink of an eye, she was trapped in the cage again.

Guan Numo looked at her expression, she had always thought that this person was a burden.Looking at her pale face at this time, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

She took Wei Rong all the way into the Yonghe Palace, and when she arrived at the main hall, she saw the expected Concubine De.

Concubine De raised her hand as a signal, and Nanny Guan bowed and stepped back.

"This time, I'm sorry for you." Concubine De sighed, cut straight to the point, and told the news she had heard from Kangxi before.

When she said it, she also felt that this matter was weird. How could Wei Rong happen to be exactly like that of Ce Wang's ex-wife? Even if they were similar, how did Ce Wang meet her?Obviously one is a foreign envoy, and the other is a deep palace concubine.

Wei Rong was even more shocked than her. She had speculated before that Big Brother wanted to arrest her because of his plan. She thought it was something that made Big Brother suspect that she was the "ghost".But according to Concubine De, it was because of this inexplicable coincidence.

Do you and Ce Wang's ex-wife look exactly alike?

This is too coincidental!

"This matter is fate." Concubine De smiled bitterly, Wei Rong was of great use to her.But judging by Kangxi's attitude, Wei Rong is bound to win.And Kangxi's ability to control the government is not comparable to that of elder brothers.The process of her taking in Wei Rong was not without trace.As long as you check carefully, you will definitely find the Yonghe Palace.

Concubine De had no choice but to betray her.

Wei Rong came back to her senses and saluted solemnly, "It's already a great kindness for my mother to take me in for so long. This time it's out of necessity, and I have absolutely no complaints."

She knew De Concubine's difficulties, and she had no choice in this matter.

Concubine De nodded: "If there is anything you can't let go of, you can talk about it."

Wei Rong knew that this was the compensation given to her by Concubine De, she thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is so kind, I don't ask for anything at all, I just remembered that the two maids around me in the past are now working as hard labor in the Clothes Bureau. If the empress has a chance, can you help me a little bit."

"It's easy. They are your court ladies. I'll transfer them back to you someday."

Wei Rong was pleasantly surprised. She originally thought that she was too sensitive when she changed her status from concubine, and Kangxi would not agree to keep the old man by her side.

"If the marriage is close, naturally no clues can be left. Zhungeer is thousands of miles away, the news is blocked, and it doesn't matter if there are a few people." Concubine De said plainly.

Wei Rong said again: "Your Majesty is so kind, I can't repay you."

Concubine De took a deep look at her, and said suddenly, "Actually, you don't have to be grateful, I took you in because I wanted something."

Wei Rong was startled, and looked up at Concubine De.

Her eyes were clear, with a little regret.

Wei Rong smiled, "Even if your mother asks for something, she will always benefit a lot from saving me now."

Concubine De has plans for her, she can probably feel it, especially after Kangxi returned to court, even Yinzhen tried to test whether she wanted to return to her original concubine status, but Concubine De never asked, and arranged for her forcefully The way out of the palace.

Although I don't know why she helped him so much, Wei Rong is still grateful.

The seclusion of these few months is her rare leisure time in the palace. She has Yinzhen, a puppy, leisure and ease, and the hope of leaving the palace.

Soon, the court lady entered and took Wei Rong down to freshen up.

Looking at her back, Concubine De had pity and disappointment in her eyes.

"He's a good boy, it's a pity..." Then he shook his head mockingly, even if it fell into his hands, wouldn't it be a pawn?Now it has become the emperor's pawn.

***

Wei Rong sat at the dressing table in a daze, and Nanny Guan led the two little maids to be busy, and soon tidied it up.

A slim and graceful figure was reflected in the bronze mirror, elegant orange-pink flag dress, delicate pearl hairpin and dotted emerald hairpins, and she turned back into the charming Wei Changzai again.

Because of the heat, her cheeks were flushed, which added to her softness.

When he went out, he saw that Liang Jiugong was already waiting, and there was a small sedan chair beside him.

Wei Rong boarded, and soon arrived at Qianqing Palace.

After getting off the sedan chair, he didn't go to see Kangxi directly, but was led to the side hall, where a gray-bearded imperial physician was waiting.

"I heard that Chang Zai is not feeling well, so I am more prepared." Liang Jiugong laughed.

Wei Rong stretched out her wrist with peace of mind, and the imperial physician made a diagnosis.

Soon the imperial doctor got up and said, "My master is fine, it's just that the stagnant qi stagnates in the chest, which triggers the attack. Take a few doses of medicine and you will get better."

Only then did Liang Jiugong feel relieved, and led Wei Rong into the inner hall.

***

It was already night, and Kangxi was standing in the hall, with a map hanging on the wall beside him.

Wei Rong raised the silk handkerchief and bowed to salute.

Kangxi raised his hand, "Stay flat."

When Wei Rong got up, he sighed: "You have been troubled by traveling so much this time, you are really wronged."

Wei Rong said flatly: "It's not a big grievance to have the concubine De concubine take care of you."

Kangxi nodded, and asked again, "How did you escape from the clutches of that evil Yinpo?"

Wei Rong lowered his gaze, "That night when the servant returned to the residence, he became suspicious when he saw palace people looking around. When he got up at night, he happened to see a dark figure sneaking into the room and discussing something. The servant Naturally timid, fearing that they were plotting something wrong, he ran to the empty Dongpian Hall to hide. After that, he ran out of Changchun Palace in the chaos. At first, he was in a panic and had nowhere to go. He remembered that when he was painting for the concubine, the empress felt sorry for the poor and the weak, and was in a hurry He went to the Yonghe Palace to ask for help."

Kangxi didn't become suspicious, and Concubine De also said the same thing.

He let out a long sigh, "This time I command the army to sweep the northern border, but I might as well set up a small wall in the back and create chaos. Fortunately, Concubine De and the others are in the harem, so that no catastrophe will be caused."

After finishing his emotions, he asked again, "I remember that your father was the county magistrate in Jiangzhou in the south. He has worked hard for many years, so he should be promoted."

Wei Rong: ... "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"This is also to compensate you for being frightened this time." Kangxi smiled and stepped forward, holding Wei Rong's hand.I used to think that this Wei family is both talented and beautiful, and she is a rare beauty, but now she looks even more stunning under the light, what a pity.

Wei Rong held back his discomfort and followed him to the front of the map.

Taking advantage of the time of walking, he quietly pulled out his hand.

Kangxi didn't notice either. He pointed to the map and asked enthusiastically, "You told me before that you know a lot about the West, so I'm going to test you. Do you know where all the countries in the West are?"

Wei Rong looked at the map. Although it is not as detailed as the maps of later generations, it is definitely a rare treasure in this era. Not only the Asian countries are complete, but the locations of Central Asia, France, Russia, Germany and Italy are all very detailed.

Wei Rong probably pointed to the location of France.

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, "These western countries are far away from our country. They are not the scourge of the Qing Dynasty. Instead, these Mongolian Jungar tribes nearby are the confidant of the Qing Dynasty. The ancients did not deceive me."

The large area he was referring to was the Jungar Khanate.

"I remember the last time I saw your painting, I once said that you wanted to go out and see the real exotic style, but I didn't expect that it would become a prophecy now..."

Wei Rong wanted to laugh, but finally got to the point.

What's her virtue and ability, she is just a little girl, but she let Kangxi personally persuade her with the technique of Huairou.The princesses who caressed Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty in the past should not have this kind of treatment.
