At night, the Changchun Palace lanterns have been turned off.

The little maid was guarding the door, she was stunned when she saw the emperor coming suddenly at night, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Kangxi raising her hand.

"Is the concubine asleep?"

he asks.

The little maid hesitated for a while, then nodded honestly, and whispered: "Your Majesty has been asleep for a long time."

The emperor sighed softly, "There is no need to report,? The night is already deep."

He stepped over the threshold, and then walked into the main hall.

Liang Jiugong carried the lantern and walked all the way. When he reached the door, he saw Ning Xia standing there, leaning against the door. When he heard movement, he woke up with a jolt.

"The emperor..."

Liang Jiugong winked at her.

Ning Xia took a breath, and stood sideways in two steps to wait.

Kangxi pushed the door open and entered.

At night, he lit the lamp outside and walked over, without waking up the sleeping Su Yang.

She rarely wakes up at night.

Like seeing animals in a book once.

Not easy to wake up.

Kangxi stared at her quietly in the dim light.

In the halo, Su Yang's white skin was indescribably moist and delicate, and a cattail shadow under the eyelids trembled slightly.

Her breathing fluctuated steadily, and her expression was relaxed, obviously in a deep sleep.

The hotness and boredom in Yonghe Palace seemed to be relieved by this.

Tonight did give him a small surprise.

Kangxi did not expect that Wu Yashi would treat his own flesh and blood like this, but he was only sent to be raised by Concubine Tong.

A bowl of water is uneven, and he doesn't pay attention to Si elder brother's life. There are also reasons for the bruises on his wrists and waist.

But right now I can't deal with her.

At one time, Yin Qi was still young, and at the other, Yin Zhen was still in the process of vaccination.

If something happens to the Yonghe Palace, it may increase the danger to Yinzhen who is ill.

Can't take that risk.

After sitting beside Su Yang's bed for a while, he got up and left Changchun Palace.

The emperor came to Changchun Palace in the middle of the night, Su Yang only found out the next day.

Ning Xia's face was somewhat dignified for no reason.

"I feel that the emperor was a little scary last night."

Su Yang was having breakfast, when he heard the words, he said calmly: "Why don't you wake me up when you're here?"

"The emperor won't let the slaves disturb your sleep."

Okay.

Su Yang put down the bowl in his hand, cleaned his hands after rinsing his mouth, got up, patted his clothes, and said, "I'm fine now, I'm going to see Concubine Rong."

After giving birth to Xiao Jiaoyi, she could almost count the time she spent going out on one hand.

There is still time to relax while in prison.

As for why the emperor had a convulsion in the middle of the night last night, he came from the Yonghe Palace, and left the palace not long after coming here.

Because she didn't want to understand, since she didn't wake her up at that time, why bother to think about it, why would it appear at her bedside in the middle of the night.

Putting it in a horror movie, this is a proper cannon fodder start.

Concubine Rong of Zhongcui Palace has been busy farming recently.

There is a big piece of land in the backyard of Zhongcui Palace. In April and May, some vegetables are planted, such as jar beans and Chinese cabbage.

She was pulling the soil and weeding there with a shovel, Su Yang entered the door, and praised a few words casually.

"Concubine Rong really loves life."

It's just that I didn't expect that at a young age, I have already started to retire.

Concubine Rong clapped her hands: "The child hasn't come back from school yet, thinking about eating and sleeping all day, why not find something to do."

She seems to have no desire for favor, and all she wants is to live her life in peace and stability.

In my own palace, I don't wear fancy clothes, just wear some neat clothes.

Watermelons planted in July and August are fully ripe.

Concubine Rong took out a big watermelon from the room, and said with a smile: "Concubine Hui and Concubine Liang also came over to play yesterday, and they all said that this big watermelon is sweet, big and crispy, imperial concubine, would you like to try it?"

Under the shade of trees in the courtyard, there is a cool breeze, and there is a set of stone tables in the middle.

Concubine Rong split the watermelon on the jade-cold stone table with her bare hands.

Su Yang: "..."

She was stunned when she saw it, and thought that Concubine Rong's hands were strong enough, it would be a pity not to lift weights.

The flesh of the watermelon is bright red, dotted with black particles, and there is a hint of coolness in the hot and dry air.

Ice was placed in Concubine Rong's room, and the big watermelon was picked and placed next to the ice to dry.

It is just right to eat at this time.

Concubine Rong took half a piece of watermelon, opened her mouth wide and took a few bites, sighing in satisfaction:

"This watermelon is a good thing. It can quench your thirst."

"In the past, my concubine always envied you, and the emperor sent you all good things."

She took another bite vigorously, "Rong Xian was greedy for the red grapes at the time, and I was thinking that instead of letting the emperor reward you, it's better to grow some myself, and come and pick one if you want to eat it."

Under the grape arbor where they were sitting, the pouring sunlight was scorching, and the light and shadow scattered among them, making Su Yang's complexion whiter, his facial features exquisite and refreshing, without any trace of the passage of time, or the slightest grain.

Even after giving birth to Xiao Gege, the body is not bloated.

His complexion is even better than before, it should be during the confinement period, he has been recuperating well.

Su Yang noticed that she was looking at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "What's wrong?"

She had a bad stomach and only ate a small piece of watermelon.

Concubine Rong rubbed her face, "It feels like your mother is growing backwards, she doesn't show her age at all."

She took out a mirror from her sleeve, held it up in the sunlight, and looked at her face carefully: "My concubine is five or six years older than my empress."

Yes, Concubine Rong is almost thirty.

The common people are about this age, and it is estimated that their grandchildren can be hugged.

There is a saying that once a woman is over 25, her status goes downhill.

Concubine Rong Ma Jia had several children. Although she died in the middle of the accident, pregnancy hurts her body. No matter how hard she takes care of her body, she can't hide the slight fatigue at all. She is more open-minded, maybe There are also children's guarantees for the rest of their lives, which is much more charming than the pretense of showing off in the past.

There are many reasons why Su Yang became friends with her at the beginning.

She opened the mouth and said: "People always have to live for themselves, and Rong Xian has grown up. In two years, maybe the emperor will choose a son-in-law for her; Elder Brother Shi is now seven or eight years old, and he goes to Shangshu every day. Fang and the brothers listened to lectures and read books, and the children quickly grew up to this size."

"My little Jiaoyi is less than two months old."

Concubine Rong laughed, and was more or less relieved after hearing her words.

"I heard that the emperor came out of the Yonghe Palace in the middle of the night last night and went to your place?" She was in a better mood and began to tease Su Yang, "Concubine De must have vomited to death, and the fat sheep slipped away."

"The emperor is also someone who treats the concubine leniently. If he can escape his anger in the middle of the night, maybe it's the concubine De who annoyed her."

"Really?" Su Yang took a sip of warm tea, "I don't know, but this morning, Ning Xia took advantage of Bengong's waking up and said that the emperor sat for a while before leaving."

Concubine Rong was taken aback.

"Didn't someone wake up the lady?"

The whispered words were heard by Su Yang, she smiled and said: "I am already asleep, it would be too inhumane to call someone to wake me up again."

Concubine Rong Ma Jiashi took a deep breath.

She thought of the tricks that the emperor used to prevent the emperor from staying overnight in the palace of Concubine Tong in Chengqian Palace. When the emperor came to Zhongcui Palace, she wished she could do her best to keep the emperor, but the emperor refused in every possible way. .

result……

As a result, when it came to Concubine Yu's place... the emperor could go to see her if she slept soundly.

Just look at it, shouldn't you wake up immediately and stand up to serve? ·

Back then, she was envied by others. The emperor liked her, doted on her, and sent all good things here.

The things that the emperor sent, the gadgets are said to be exquisite and thoughtful, and the good things are said to be thinking of her all the time.

According to her current view of Concubine Yu, she is one in the sky and the other in the earth. How can she be treated like a favorite concubine!

This is probably the gap between people.

Everything was uneventful, as if nothing had happened.

The fact that Kangxi left the Yonghe Palace in the middle of the night that night was undercurrent in the harem, and one or two concubines went to pay their respects to Concubine De, who seemed to be tempted, but Concubine De brushed it lightly.

Since 20 years, the emperor has rarely come to the harem.

Some of them have been to Defei Palace.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen had been vaccinated for more than half of the time, and after the most dangerous days passed safely, the emperor never went to the Yonghe Palace again.

The former court was busy with affairs, so busy that they didn't even go to the Changchun Palace these days, Su Yang occasionally took Xiao Gege to the Compassion Ning Palace to pay his respects, and when the emperor went out, his face turned cold, and she happened to see her.

It should be a conflict with the empress dowager.

When Kangxi saw her, the coldness in his eyes eased slightly, and they were soaked in warmth. He stood still at the door, looking at the little Jiaoyi in the hands of the mother.

"Jiaojiao hasn't troubled you these days, has she?"

Su Yang saluted, "It's good, but it's very annoying, and I'm going to cry when I don't see my concubine."

Kangxi nodded: "The previous court was busy, so I left first."

Su Yang then entered the Compassionate Ning Palace. The Empress Dowager was sitting on the couch, sipping a teacup, her expression a little unhappy.

She hugged Xiao Jiaoyi and shook her lightly: "Mama Huang, I'm here with Princess to see you."

The Empress Dowager calmed down, and looked at Xiao Jiaoyi who was wrapped tightly.

Xiao Jiaoyi opened her big, clear and clean eyes, and smiled at the Empress Dowager.

Before it was much teased, he leaned forward and backward in laughter, revealing that the toothless gums were wide open, and the pink tip of the tongue could be seen inside.

The Empress Dowager took off her armor carefully and carried her over.

The action can be called careful.

Xiao Jiaoyi was born in pink and jade, exquisite and lovely. She was born smoothly at the beginning, and it is less than three months now.

The number of times she brought her to the Palace of Compassion and Peace was very few.

The Empress Dowager Piansheng loved Xiao Jiaoyi very much, holding a rattle and shaking it softly in front of her eyes.

"Little Jiaojiao from Aijia, haven't you spit up milk recently?"

Su Yang smiled: "I vomited twice, but I didn't see the concubine's body. She felt aggrieved and watched eagerly."

"As soon as my concubine took it over, she immediately stopped crying and vomiting, and she was very naughty. Last time, my concubine carried her to Concubine Rong's. Concubine Rong had a big round watermelon, and she wanted to reach out to grab it. Concubine Rong laughed so hard."

She blamed, the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded at Xiaojiaoyi's chubby little face.

"The little girl is smarter if she is skinny, Su Ma, take out that pearl from Ai's house."

"Yes."

Not long after Su Mala left, when she came in again, she had a red box in her hand.

Dongzhu is used to decorate the winter crowns of empresses and empress dowagers, and is directly given to Xiaojiaoyi...

Su Yang was still in contemplation, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This big east bead was originally a pair with another one, and then that one broke for no reason, and it became a half-missing thing, not a pair, Sending it to Jiaojiao will do nothing."

"The Ai family seems to like it, the noble concubine should not refuse for Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao hasn't said no yet."

The Empress Dowager has already spoken like this, so Su Yang can only say yes.

Come to the Compassion Palace and receive a gift.

When Xiao Jiaoyi was one year old, all the empresses in the harem gave her a gift.

The rewards from the empress dowager and the emperor were sent in continuously, to the point where others began to envy them.

It can be said that he attaches great importance to and loves this little princess.

As a result, the status of the imperial concubine has risen even higher.

The Empress Dowager held Xiaojiaoyi in her arms, and said a few funny words, which made Xiaojiaoyi laugh until her eyes were lost.After hugging her for a while, she felt much happier, and she gave her hug to Mammy, indicating that she had something to say to Su Yang.

Su Yang asked Ning Xia to take Nanny and Gege out for a walk.

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.

The lines in the corners of her eyes could no longer be covered, and she was showing her old age, and she had reached the age of destiny.

The Empress Dowager caressed her wrist, and said calmly and gently: "Xiao Jiaoyi is half a year old, have you ever thought about having another child?"

"..." Su Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, "Huang Mama, you..."

The Empress Dowager smiled at her benevolently: "Everyone in the world thinks that both sons and daughters are perfect. This is the case among the people. What's more, what about the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty?"

Su Yang's eyes twitched.

"It is said that the mother is more expensive than the child, and the mother is more expensive by the child." The empress dowager played with her thin white fingers, "Youth is easy to pass away, and the beauty is easy to grow old. The color can last for a while. Only when the belly is strong can you be more beautiful in the harem." Stand firm, don't you want a son?"

Su Yang blinked.

It seems that the Compassionate Ning Palace here today is extraordinary. It should be what the emperor said just now that caused the Empress Dowager to change her mind. There was no such intention before.

If she said that she wanted a son.

She is now the noble concubine, if the emperor changes his mind in the future, he will be the imperial concubine, the empress.

If she wants a son, will she compete with the crown prince in the future?

Fighting for position is one of them, she is still a Han girl.

Even if there is a [-]% chance that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is a Han Chinese, the empress dowager will kill it in the bud.

Then for nearly ten years, the good impression of her in the empress dowager's place is estimated to be destroyed, which will undoubtedly bring her a lot of trouble, even if Chen Yanjing was an official in the previous dynasty, he might not be able to keep her.

And she doesn't really want to have another one.

But the empress dowager, the emperor, and everyone in the harem would not feel that she didn't want to have one or two children while she was young. If you fight, you will become the queen mother. Not to mention going out to live in the palace, her life is worth it.

She said she didn't want to have a baby.

No one will believe it, maybe half-believing, there is only one person, and that is the emperor.

"My son is good." Su Yang sighed softly, and said, "But this concubine feels that it is already very good to be able to raise Xiaojiaojiao and grow up safely. I have such a heart that I can't let go of too many people. The emperor Mamo also knew that the concubine had always been in poor health and was timid, so she was very afraid of death. Back then when the concubine was in the Yikun Palace, she framed the concubine for poisoning her. It's already gone."

"After the Yikun Palace incident, the fire in Yunxie made this concubine even more terrified."

"This concubine has always been afraid of death. Having a child is a life-and-death barrier for a woman. Once in a lifetime is enough."

"The concubine still wants to live a good life with a little more time and accompany the emperor. Even if the emperor has a newcomer in the future, it doesn't matter if she treats the concubine coldly. I have a hard heart, and I can't change it."

After finishing speaking, she simply got up and knelt down on the ground, "There is a lesson from heaven and earth, this concubine is completely sincere to the emperor."

There may have been countless such dangerous situations.

As long as she says a word wrong, the future will be irreversible.

However, her luck has always been good, and every choice is just right.

Su Yang firmly assured the Empress Dowager.

"This concubine has only given birth to a child, Jiaoyi, in this life."

The author has something to say: before midnight, a little later, everyone go to bed early~

The state of the past two days was not very good, but it has been adjusted.

good night
