Kangxi was jealous and suspicious that Xilan was innocent and in danger
Concubine De saw Kangxi's suspicious face, and she was secretly proud in her heart, but she heard Kangxi suddenly ask in a deep voice: "I remember that when Concubine Xi ran for election two years ago, you also asked me to give her to the fourth child as a side blessing. From this point of view, it seems that your determination to uphold the so-called historical trend is not as resolute as you say. ”
Concubine De panicked in her heart, but she still calmly quibbled: "The reason why the concubine is doing this is precisely to maintain the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Dao. Concubine Yi's temper, the emperor must also know ruthlessly. Over the years, as long as the concubine agrees, she always deliberately contradicts the concubine. If it weren't for the concubine who first mentioned that she wanted to marry Nian for the fourth brother, I am afraid that she might not have bothered so much to marry Nian for the eighth elder brother. The reason why the concubine acted like this was just to add a boost to Nian's marriage into the Eighth Elder Brother's Mansion according to the original development of history. However, the concubine never expected that Nian's shamelessness and charm the lord took advantage of the illness to seduce the emperor, forcing the emperor to canonize her as a nobleman and enter the harem. ”
Kangxi tightened his brows even more, glanced at Concubine De coldly, and said lightly: "You misunderstood Concubine Xi." The incident of that day was actually that I liked her beauty, and I couldn't tolerate her being owned by other men, so I couldn't wait to take her for myself in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace and put her in the harem. You should remember that I first gave her the title of nobleman, and then ordered her to sleep. If you dare to slander Concubine Xi again, I can't care about the rules of punishing nobles, and I will definitely give you a court staff in front of everyone in the harem, so that you can have a long memory. ”
Concubine De secretly hated in her heart, but she didn't dare to insult Nian Xilan in front of Kangxi again. Concubine De knew that according to her identity, even if Kangxi hated and poisoned her, even if he wanted her life, he would only use such a decent method as giving a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisoned wine. However, if she really annoyed Kangxi and ordered her to be punished with a court rod in public, this humiliation would be far more painful for her than directly giving her to death.
Concubine De originally thought that she had thrown out such tempting news, and Kangxi would definitely be eager to ask her about the major events in the future that had not yet happened, but to Concubine De's surprise, Kangxi just stared at her with a gloomy face for a long time, and turned around and left Yonghe Palace without saying a word.
Concubine De looked at Kangxi's resolute departing figure, thinking of Kangxi's dark and indifferent gaze, she couldn't help but feel layers of coldness from the bottom of her heart, although it was a warm spring, but Concubine De couldn't stop shivering, and gradually felt cold and piercing, and couldn't see a trace of warm hope.
Kangxi walked out of Yonghe Palace and barely exhaled a breath of turbidity, but he still felt even more sad in his heart.
Although Kangxi naturally wouldn't believe everything she said just by Concubine De's words, but thinking that Nian Xilan might really be as Concubine De said, she once belonged to other men, even if this was what happened in the previous life, Kangxi still felt unbearable.
Kangxi went straight back to the Qianqing Palace, finished approving the excerpts, and sent someone to order the secret agent he had planted in the northwest in his early years, so that he could pay close attention to the movements of the Dzungar Ministry of Tsewang Alabutan.
After Kangxi finished handling government affairs, he still felt troubled in his heart.
Kangxi got up and paced back and forth in the hall, carefully rethinking every word that Concubine De said in his mind, his sharp eyes swept to the jade bottle presented by Concubine De, and ordered the dark guard to take out a small part of the liquid medicine and put it into a delicate porcelain bottle, and secretly put it into the meal of a royal guard, and ordered the secret guard to observe the guard's every move in detail, no matter how big or small, he must report it truthfully.
After Li Dequan saw Kangxi go to Yonghe Palace to see Concubine De, his face was gloomy, and it was difficult to show his face, and he couldn't help but have a lot of speculation in his heart, and he served Kangxi more and more cautiously.
It was already time for dinner, Kangxi not only did not rush to Yikun Palace to eat with Nian Xilan, but ordered Li Dequan to go to Tai Hospital to summon Liu Shengfang to Qianqing Palace to diagnose his pulse.
Li Dequan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed down to promise and went to the Tai Hospital on an errand in person, but he was secretly puzzled in his heart, didn't Imperial Doctor Liu already diagnose the emperor's pulse this morning? Imperial Doctor Liu also said that the emperor's dragon body is healthy and does not need tonics, and when he sees the emperor's expression at this time, he doesn't look like the dragon's body is not safe, why do you want to announce that Imperial Doctor Liu came to diagnose the pulse again?
Liu Shengfang listened to Kangxi's words passed on by Li Dequan, and he was secretly suspicious in his heart, but when he hurried to the Qianqing Palace, respectfully saluted Kangxi, and was about to step forward to diagnose Kangxi's pulse, he heard Kangxi ask bluntly: "Now that it has been twenty-five days since the day of Xi Guifei's birth, when you diagnosed Xi Guifei's pulse today, can you find anything wrong with Xi Guifei's body?" ”
Liu Shengfang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi's body has recovered very well, even better than many women who have been more than 100 days after giving birth. ”
Kangxi pondered for a moment, and then asked: "According to the extent to which Concubine Xi's body has recovered at this time, can she sleep?" ”
Liu Shengfang almost choked on his own saliva, his body trembled slightly, and he stammered: "It should be...... It should be ok...... It's just that the emperor had better wait another three or five days......"
Liu Shengfang thought to herself, how anxious are you, Your Majesty, now that Concubine Xi's confinement period has not yet expired, you actually want to let Concubine Xi sleep for you! Didn't you just pamper your concubine for three days in a row a few days ago? Why are you still so anxious and dissatisfied?
Kangxi glanced at Liu Shengfang, and threw down an unexpected will again, which made Liu Shengfang dizzy, "You personally prepare some mild shunzi soup and send it to Yikun Palace early tomorrow morning, there must be no mistake." Kangxi thought for a while, and told again: "Be careful when dispensing medicine, don't hurt Concubine Xi's body." ”
Liu Shengfang felt that a little cold sweat was oozing from his back, and hurriedly bowed down to promise. Until he withdrew from the hall, Liu Shengfang still felt a chill in his heart. Liu Shengfang remembered Kangxi's undisguised favor and pity for Concubine Xi before, but now he suddenly made such a cruel will to Concubine Xi, and couldn't help but feel even more like a tiger.
Liu Shengfang secretly thought: Even Concubine Xi, who favors the harem, will lose the opportunity to have children due to the emperor's decision to balance the harem, not to mention other people, who is the person the emperor can't give up? I think that Lord Zhou Pei, who helped the emperor quell the three rebellions, was not also abandoned by the emperor because of his Han identity, and his career was cut off. Although this Xi Guifei is deeply favored by the emperor, but in the final analysis, she is just a concubine from the Han Army Banner, and now she can get the position of a concubine, which is obviously to the extreme, no wonder the emperor has this will. It's just a pity that such a beautiful and delicate woman is so beautiful......
That night, when Kangxi's royal car arrived at Yikun Palace, it was already dark and starry.
Kangxi waved away the palace people he served, walked into the dormitory alone, and happened to see Nian Xilan holding Yinhu in her arms, singing a beautiful tune softly, and coaxing Yinhu to sleep.
Seeing Kangxi walking into the hall, Nian Xilan happily greeted him, hugged Yinhu, who had just fallen asleep, to Kangxi, and said happily: "Your Majesty, look, is our little Fuyi a little fatter than a few days ago?" ”
Kangxi frowned slightly, only to feel that hearing Nian Xilan mention the name "Fuyi" today was particularly harsh, and he was silent for a moment, but he still nodded.
Nian Xilan only thought about the lovely son in her arms, and did not notice the displeasure that flashed in Kangxi's eyes, she touched the tender little face of the little elder brother by herself, and whispered softly: "E-Niang's little Fuyi, E-Niang will definitely raise you chubby...... You were so thin when you were born, and E-Niang felt very distressed when she thought of what you looked like at that time! E-Niang only hopes that you can grow up healthy and happy, you know? ”
Kangxi became more and more upset and irritable in his heart, and said with some displeasure: "Yinhu is a boy, how can he be so arrogant?" You just keep calling him by his name, and in the long run, you'll only spoil him! ”
Nian Xilan was slightly stunned, and explained softly: "The concubine is in front of the palace people, and she has always only called Yinhu's name, and only in front of the emperor or when there is no one, will she call his milk name." Besides, the name of this Fuyi was taken by the emperor himself, and the concubine only occasionally called one or two times in private, so what did it matter? It would be a little strange if the name was taken and it was never called! ”
Kangxi also knew that what Nian Xilan said was reasonable, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Nian Xilan carefully observed Kangxi's face, and at this time she had already noticed that Kangxi's expression was different, and then remembered that Kangxi had gone to Yonghe Palace to interrogate Concubine De today, and a strong uneasiness surged in her heart again.
Nian Xilan softly called the nurse, ordered her to take Yinhu to the side hall to rest, brewed a cup of hot tea for Kangxi, handed it to Kangxi, and persuaded softly: "The emperor is tired?" It's better to drink a cup of hot tea and then rest early. The concubine has learned some massage techniques from Mama Sun in recent days, why don't you let the concubine press it as the emperor and loosen her muscles? ”
Kangxi took a sip of tea, and sure enough, it was his favorite West Lake Longjing, and saw Nian Xilan with a soft smile on her face, staring at herself with a pair of bright and clear big eyes, but Kangxi couldn't help but think of the soul of rebirth that Concubine De said, and her heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and there was a dense pain.
Kangxi put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Nian Xilan's crystal clear eyes, and said slowly: "The palace draft is once every three years." According to the rules of the palace, the Eight Banners ladies from the age of thirteen to seventeen must participate in the draft. According to the ancestral system, women who have not been selected, those who marry privately, the commanders, the leaders, and the patriarchs of their parents, must be dealt with separately. However, in addition to legal principles, there are also human feelings. Childhood sweethearts, men and women love, it is also common for people. ”
The more Nian Xilan listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Kangxi paused slightly, then suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Nian Xilan into his arms, closed his eyes fiercely where she couldn't see, barely suppressed the crazy jealousy in his heart, and asked in a light tone as much as possible: "Before Lan'er entered the palace, did she have a favorite man?" ”
Nian Xilan's delicate body shook fiercely, and she wanted to break free from Kangxi's arms, but she was pressed hard in Kangxi's arms and was never able to break free.
Nian Xilan shed tears of grievance and explained softly: "The emperor questioned the concubine so much, didn't he doubt the innocence of the concubine?" The emperor should remember that on the beauty couch in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, the concubine is ...... Whether the concubine is innocent or not, can't the emperor see it? ”
Kangxi felt a pain in his heart, but he still asked in a deep voice: "I naturally know that your body is innocent. But now I wonder if your heart is just as innocent? ”
Although she didn't know what Concubine De said to Kangxi, Nian Xilan clearly realized in her heart that no matter how Concubine De did it, she had indeed made Kangxi suspicious of her. Nian Xilan was anxious and angry, feeling very aggrieved in her heart, and uncontrollably surging with sadness and disappointment.
Nian Xilan smiled bitterly and replied in a choked voice: "Since the emperor is already suspicious of the concubine, even if the concubine kneels at the emperor's feet, tears flowing, cursing and swearing to the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will not believe in the concubine." In this case, why should the emperor ask again, wouldn't it be good to directly order the concubine to be sent to the cold palace? ”
Kangxi was also uncomfortable, but he still couldn't help but ask: "When you entered the palace to run for election, Concubine De and Concubine Yi both asked me, hoping that I could marry you to the fourth elder brother or the eighth elder brother. Kangxi pinched Nian Xilan's chin, forcing her to raise her head, her sharp phoenix eyes stared at Nian Xilan's tearful eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Between the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, who do you like more?" You should have heard about Concubine De and Concubine Yi's plans back then, right? What was in your mind at that time? Have you ever secretly looked forward to marrying the young fourth elder brother or eighth elder brother as a side Fujin? ”
Nian Xilan listened to Kangxi's voice and asked, her body trembled more and more, but she bit her lip stubbornly, boldly met Kangxi's sharp gaze, and stubbornly did not say a word.
"Answer me!" Kangxi tightened his arms, grabbed Nian Xilan's slender waist and hugged her tighter into his arms, and ordered in a fierce voice: "Answer me!" Have you ever secretly dreamed of marrying another man? ”
Nian Xilan's tearful eyes were full of grievances and sadness, and a crystal tear slid down her cheeks, but she did not deny it as Kangxi expected and defended herself, but said in a hoarse voice: "The concubine body did think so." ”
Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan in disbelief, and only came back to his senses after a while, and rebuked in a deep voice: "Presumptuous! ”
Kangxi said, picked up Nian Xilan horizontally, walked to the bed in a few steps, threw Nian Xilan directly into the soft bed, and then leaned forward and pressed her fiercely.
Kangxi looked at the woman under him with piercing eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "What did you just say?" You repeat. ”
Facing Kangxi's angry gaze, Nian Xilan hooked the corners of her lips slightly, overflowed with a sad smile, and slowly explained: "Don't say it again, even if you say it ten times or a hundred times, the concubine will obey the emperor's will." The concubine not only thought about what she should do if she married the fourth elder brother or the eighth elder brother, but also thought about how she should deal with herself and where to go if she was given marriage by the emperor to other princes or clan relatives, and even after losing the election. But so what? Those are just ideas that have never been realized, could it be that when the emperor heard the request of Concubine De and Concubine Yi, he never moved the idea of giving the concubine body to someone else? ”
Kangxi had been stimulated by Nian Xilan's bold words at this time, and the jealousy that had been suppressed from Yonghe Palace to the present day quickly destroyed Kangxi's only remaining reason. At this moment, Kangxi has no time to think about the helplessness and unfinished meaning between Nian Xilan's words, and just wants to use the most primitive and direct way to declare his absolute possession of the woman under him who he loves and hates. 166 Reading Network
