Kangxi was happy to be happy, but also indifferent.

He tilted his head and told Liang Jiugong: "Reward as usual."

Liang Jiugong agreed, and hurried down to do it.

Apart from the Qianqing Palace, the palace attendants who announced the good news also visited the Compassion Ning Palace and Kun Ning Palace.

After the palace people finished reporting the good news, the news of Wu Ya's promise to conceive had already spread throughout the harem.

The empress dowager was relatively indifferent.

After all, it was still an unborn child, and the Empress Dowager didn't take it seriously except for the usual rewards - she wanted to care about it, and let her be born safely first.

In contrast, Qiqige was refreshed.

She looked forward with anticipation—although she couldn't remember Yinzhen's birthday, but considering the time and the pregnancy partner, he should be the one who came! ?

This is the fourth grandpa!

Qiqige was a little bit of what fans expected when they met the rightful owner. Of course, she was still as calm as the empress dowager on the face, and she gave orders and rewards as usual with a calm expression.

Just mentioning this, Qiqige suddenly remembered something.

She frowned slightly: "Speaking of which, Ai Jia doesn't seem to remember that Wu Ya promised to take the exam?"

Uzhina thought about it carefully for a moment.

Immediately she also nodded: "Reporting to Master, it seems that Concubine Tong has never agreed to sign up for Wu Ya."

He promised that Chang Zai Wuzhao would not enter or leave the palace at will, so of course the lead concubine had to submit the application for the exam, usually every three months.

Not to mention that the examination from acceptance to regular presence is extremely simple, and it can also gain a good reputation in front of the empress dowager and empress, so the concubines are still quite concerned, not to mention eagerly signing up, and some even urge the concubines to study , Try your best to let your palace take off the hat of no culture.

For example, Wu Ya promised to serve the emperor for some time, but never reported for the exam, which is rare.

Will the future concubine be so stupid?

Qiqige raised her eyebrows, and the more she thought about it, the more she muttered—except that when she served Kangxi just now, she was taken to the Palace of Compassion by Concubine Tong, after which Qiqige never met Wu Ya and agreed.

Qiqige asked the queen again.

If it wasn't for Wu Ya's promise to get pregnant, the queen would have no impression of Wu Ya's promise.She shook her head: "Concubine Tong has not brought Wu Ya to promise to come out to pay her respects recently."

Compared with Qiqige who treated Wu Ya's promise differently because of the filter, the queen didn't care much about Wu Ya's promise, who was born as a court lady. She didn't even think about who Wu Ya promised for a long time. I generally remember being quiet and reticent.

It doesn't mean it's not tricky.

The queen thought about it for a while, and then she came to her senses: "Concubine Tong is... wanting to adopt a child? The Queen's Mother stipulated that only passing the exam can she be promoted and raise the child. Impossible to have a baby."

After all, if she could be taken away from her mother's womb to be raised, she would be no different from her own.

Qiqige frowned.

She was a little displeased: "Aijia figured out this imperial concubine promotion exam in order to maintain the balance of the harem, so that the imperial concubines can find other ways of advancement besides fighting with each other and obtain more benefits."

Many concubines who had a hard time passed this series of exams and obtained a good salary. At the same time, they also discovered their hobbies and created a lot of new gadgets.

Qiqige's face darkened slightly: "Concubine Tong took advantage of a small loophole and made a bad head. You said later, what if other people don't like XX's promise to be here and don't sign up?"

Most of Qiqige's impressions of Concubine Tong are the immature and cute appearance when she first met her, coupled with her nostalgia for Queen Xiaokangzhang, so that she always has a feeling of love for Concubine Tong.

And now the filter suddenly shattered.

Qiqige's favorability towards Concubine Tong dropped a lot.

Qiqige's face became more and more ugly.

The queen who was familiar with her quickly noticed it, and she got up quickly and said: "Don't worry, Empress, my minister will talk to Sister Tong tomorrow. Sister Tong has always been sensible, and she will definitely understand."

If you really want to be sensible, is a sensible person able to do this?

Qiqige reluctantly gave the queen some face: "I'll leave this matter to you. Even if you don't have to take the promotion exam for the time being, you must make Wuya agree to study hard for the maternity homework."

The queen respectfully agreed.

She hesitated for a moment, and then carefully asked a question: "Emperor's mother, my son heard the emperor mention... When you have been working with Concubine Tong, the emperor has been using contraception?"

Qiqige nodded.

She looked at the queen, pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The Ai family and the imperial doctors suspect...the girl from the Tong family may be carrying some kind of disease."

The queen's expression changed suddenly, and then she stammered and said: "Your Majesty, what about the Emperor?"

Qiqige sighed: "It's mainly for women after giving birth."

She snapped her fingers and muttered: "Empress Xiaokangzhang and her aunt, three cousins, and two clan sisters all suffered a sudden decline in postpartum physique and then died of illness. The situation is very similar, and they all belong to blood syndrome."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then her almond eyes widened.

Qiqige looked dignified, and sighed slightly - it is very likely that they, like Empress Xiaokangzhang, were once leukemia patients.

Research on leukemia in previous lives pointed out that although leukemia will not directly pass on the disease to offspring, there will be a tendency to cluster in some families, especially... close relatives.

The emperor and concubine Tong are among the high-risk groups.

In addition, Empress Xiao Kangzhang and Tong's daughter both had symptoms after giving birth. Maybe it is because of hormone changes caused by pregnancy, which stimulated the development of the disease?It also makes pregnancy a high-risk problem.

At first, the emperor worried that Concubine Tong was ill.

It's just that when Concubine Tong entered the palace, neither the imperial doctor nor Qi Qige found any abnormalities in Concubine Tong. Except for some lack of energy and blood that caused her constitution to be weak, Concubine Tong was in good health.

It's just that the suspicion is still there, and the Tong Jia family in history did die early. Qi Qige discussed with the emperor again and again, and finally finalized the matter.

Qiqige pondered for a moment, and finally told the queen what she had discussed with the emperor: "After discovering the problems of the Tong family, the emperor also hinted to Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, but the Tong family didn't care, which made the emperor decided to use contraception."

The queen was full of shock, and nodded cautiously.

When she returned to the palace, she hadn't cleared her mind yet, and Kangxi also mentioned this matter tacitly.He told the queen: "If Wu Ya agrees to take the exam, let her pass, and she will be dismissed later in the parenting class."

Isn't this fake?

Facing the queen's questioning gaze, Kangxi coughed: "I mean to make the examination paper a little easier."

After a pause, he hesitated: "Whether this child is male or female, I want to give it to Concubine Tong to be raised."

"It's because of illness..."

"Emperor Niang told you?" Kangxi asked back.After getting the Queen's affirmation, Kangxi was much calmer: "Actually, Concubine Tong doesn't believe this."

"Sister Tong may not be able to accept it."

"Yes." Kangxi said with a calm expression, "I'm bored and tired too, so let her raise the child in Wu Ya's womb as she wishes."

"The concubine understands."

"As for Wu Ya's promise." Thinking of that gentle and timid woman, Kangxi's expression became a little more gentle: "Give her a... noble man at that time, and then move out of Chengqian Palace."

The queen really showed a little surprise this time.

This Wu Ya, whom she had little impression of, agreed, but apparently she had a very good impression in the emperor's heart.

The queen couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is the schoolwork that Wu Ya promised. After the morning and evening of the second day, the Queen deliberately left Concubine Tong and asked Wu Ya to agree to the reference: "Wu Ya promised to have a dragon heir after all. , just the promised salary is really not worth it.”

Concubine Tong felt a sting in her heart.

She clenched her fingertips slightly, controlling her expression with a slightly embarrassed look.Concubine Tong hesitated for a moment, and then she answered in a low voice: "Empress, in fact... Wu Ya promised that she doesn't like to read books, and the concubine herself once asked her mother to read to her, but..."

Concubine Tong showed hesitation and a look of embarrassment.

She wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking and wanted to, it took a long time before she sighed: "Wu Ya's promise is really not material for studying!"

Not reading material?

The queen was taken aback when she heard the words, and she had the same suspicion as Qi Qige: Can the emperor notice that Wu Ya promised to be a stupid one?

The queen looked a little weird.

She took a deep look at Concubine Tong who was calm and composed, and followed her words: "Since this is the case... then there is no other way."

Concubine Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next breath, her heart was suspended again, only to hear the queen change the subject: "Let's not mention the promotion exam for the time being, but about the books that pregnant women are supposed to read, you can ask someone to read it to Wu Ya and promise to listen to it. These are the things she needs to know."

Concubine Tong respectfully agreed.

After Concubine Tong left Kunning Palace, the queen was still sitting firmly at the head.She was thoughtful, then turned her head and smiled slightly at the palace people: "You said, can the emperor fall in love with a stupid and ignorant woman with only good looks?"

The palace people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xing Chu, who was the most courageous, hesitated to speak: "The emperor is wise, I don't think so."

The queen smiled and nodded: "That's right."

She rubbed the cup with both hands, looked at the exquisite lines on the cup, and chuckled softly: "It is often said that among the concubines, Yi concubine is the most beautiful, but in fact Miao promised, Rui Changzai, Yin Changzai... back then... When they entered the palace, they were all the most beautiful beauties."

The queen gently placed the cup on the table.

Her eyes were clear, and she slowly smiled: "I want to say that there are many concubines who are more beautiful than Yipin, but only Yipin is the one who can make an impression on the emperor, especially those who have a good impression. How many people? Concubine Tong is confused."

The queen smiled.

She held her cheek, and the curiosity she promised to Wu Ya increased by three points: "Is it an innocent deer or a secretive poisonous snake? I am becoming more and more curious about her."

Concubine Tong returned to Chengqian Palace.

Wu Ya promised not to take it seriously first, so her small actions were covered up.

But now Wu Ya's promise has gained people's attention.

Because the joy of Wu Ya's promise of pregnancy faded a little, Concubine Tong twisted the beads in her hand with lowered eyes, feeling a little uneasy.

It took her a long time to give the order: "Duobao."

A court lady stepped forward: "The slave is here."

Concubine Tong said softly: "From now on, you will be responsible for giving Wu Ya the promise to study every day."

The court lady Duobao agreed.

Concubine Tong paused, and then said: "Be careful and observe Wu Ya and promise not to make her tired."

Duobao is smart.

When she heard what her master meant, she responded with a gentle and respectful look: "This servant will definitely be careful, and will never let little master Wu Ya get tired."

Concubine Tong nodded in satisfaction.
