Chapter 59: The Day of Longevity
Late at night on May 3, a figure sneaked into the dormitory of Zhong Cui Palace.
A figure vaguely appeared behind the bed tent, listening to the voice as if it was coming from a distance, it was also very weak and hazy, "Ahem, have you got what this palace wants?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, I got it."
The little eunuch took off his hat, and under the reflection of the candlelight, he realized that this 'little eunuch' turned out to be the begonia next to Rou Concubine.
At this time, the concubine lying on the bed was so weak that she couldn't even reach out and pull the bed tent.
Don't think about it, this appearance of Concubine Rou is Shu Wan's 'masterpiece'.
Shu Wan knew that Concubine Rou had always had the habit of smelling the soothing incense, so since the concubine was pregnant, she added a medicine that would gradually weaken people's muscles to the soothing incense used by the concubine, of course, with Rou Concubine's ability, she couldn't find out any problems, at most she would only think it was a normal reaction after pregnancy.
This is also a little safeguard for Shu Wan, and the provincial concubine is still restless when she is pregnant.
Seeing this, Haitang hurriedly stepped forward and hung the bed net on the tent hook next to her, and carefully helped the concubine up.
After sitting down, Concubine Rou couldn't wait to take the small note handed over by Haitang, only to see eight big characters written on it: 'Three o'clock on the fourth day of May. ’
After reading the note, Concubine Rou asked weakly: "This is calculated by the supervisor of Qin Tianjiao, right?" ”
"Yes, this is the auspicious day that Eunuch Hu of Qin Tianjian is counting for you."
Concubine Rou nodded with satisfaction, and laboriously put the note back into Begonia's hand, "Burn it." ”
Haitang responded, only to hear Rou Concubine ask again, "Are the oxytocic drugs to be used ready at that time?" ”
"Rest assured, everything is ready."
Concubine Rou breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that she had solved a long-troubled matter, and her thin hand, which was so thin that only bones, slowly moved to the bulging lower abdomen, her eyes were full of ambition, everything she had to rely on this child.
I haven't heard Rou Concubine's voice for a long time, Haitang looked up, it turned out that Rou Concubine had already fallen asleep, and the ups and downs of her heart were extremely weak, at first glance, it really looked like a corpse.
Haitang sighed lightly, carefully removed the pillow under Rou Concubine, covered her with the quilt, quietly put down the bed net, and then walked out lightly.
On the day of the May 4th Birthday Festival, everyone in the palace got up early to prepare, Shu Wanyin got up at three o'clock, and then went to the small Buddha hall to chant for Kangxi for two hours.
Then he asked people to hug the little bun that was still sleepy, and the mother and son prayed for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the little bun is small and usually naughty, he doesn't cry or make trouble now, he just sits quietly on his small futon, but the little yawn is beaten one after another.
When the sun rose, Shu Wan ended the blessing ceremony and carried the little bun next to her, who was already sleepy, back to the bedroom.
Then put the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago into a wooden box and hand them over to Zhixing for careful protection.
Kangxi wore court clothes to accept the worship and congratulations of the princes and ministers, and then set up a banquet in the Qianqing Palace to entertain the princes and nobles, of course, this kind of banquet except for the queen mother and the queen mother, other women in the palace can not participate.
After all, this is in feudal antiquity, women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, and even women and men have clear rules when they meet, and it is impossible for Zhen Huan to dance in front of everyone in the legend of Zhen Huan.
After the banquet of the ministers, in the evening, Kangxi can come to the harem to have fun with the concubines, in fact, speaking of which, Kangxi is not so relaxed and happy on his birthday.
The banquet staged a newly rehearsed birthday dance, Shu Wan glanced at Kangxi with her spare eyes, and saw that Kangxi was still playing the beat to the music with great interest, and Concubine Tong next to her was also constantly offering courtesy.
Now Concubine Tong is more than seven months pregnant, but her belly is not very prominent as if she is a pregnant woman who is five months pregnant, and it seems that Concubine Tong also pays attention to maintenance during pregnancy, so except for her belly, her limbs are slender.
Tonight, Concubine Tong also deliberately brought a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, which directly showed her noble identity, not only that, but Concubine Tong also wore a vermilion that was close to red, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with gold thread two circles of patterns, which looked extremely luxurious, two black and long willow eyebrows were tall to the temples, and the bottom was a slender Danfeng eye, and a little red lips with indescribable joy.
Shu Wan pursed her lips, lowered her head and smiled slightly, the current Concubine Tong is really proud.
In fact, it is also true that the current Concubine Tong not only holds the complete collection of the six palaces but also has a dragon fetus, and has a faint posture of being the first person in the harem.
However, this Concubine Tong seems to be overly proud, forgetting that she is still just a concubine and not a queen, and directly regards Kangxi as her personal belonging.
At the banquet, Concubine Yi wanted to toast to Kangxi, but was directly stopped by Concubine Tong, but Kangxi didn't make a sound when she saw it, only Shu Wan saw the disgust that flashed on Kangxi's face.
Seeing that Kangxi didn't stop her, Concubine Tong was even more proud, and originally Concubine Cheng also wanted to go over and say a few words to Kangxi, but was prevaricated by Concubine Tong again.
Seeing this, the face of the Empress Dowager on the side became gloomy directly, after all, she was the one who became a concubine, and now Concubine Tong is doing this, which is equivalent to directly slapping her in the face.
In this way, what was originally a good banquet became Concubine Tong's home field, and the Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, and she didn't attack directly, but left early under the pretext of being uncomfortable.
Halfway through the banquet, just got on a Buddha jumping over the wall, Shu Wan felt that the taste was good, so she ate a few more bites, but she didn't expect there to be bursts of vomiting on the side.
Shu Wan looked around, and sure enough, Yi Concubine was pale, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and retching, looking very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Kangxi hurriedly asked, "Is Concubine Yi uncomfortable?" ”
Who knew that Yi Concubine, who has always been hearty and generous, was full of shyness this time, and after glancing at Kangxi, she hurriedly put her head under her head and made herself look like a little daughter, "Back to the emperor, the concubine is fine." ”
Seeing Yi Concubine's expression, many people here have already guessed that Yi Concubine is probably not a bad thing this time, but pregnant.
For a while, the aura of jealousy quietly spread in everyone's hearts, and Concubine Tong directly stretched her face, thinking that it was Yi Concubine who stole her own limelight tonight.
Seeing that Kangxi was going to ask for a doctor, Yi Concubine just opened her mouth but didn't say anything to stop her.
Soon the imperial doctor came, and after checking the pulse, it was determined that Yi Concubine was already two and a half months pregnant.
When Yi Concubine heard that the imperial doctor diagnosed that she was pregnant, she cried out even more excitedly, and Shu Wan rolled her eyes directly when she saw this.
Kangxi was overjoyed when he found out, after all, such good news broke out on his birthday today, and he was so happy that he simply rewarded Yi Concubine with a few boxes of treasures.
Seeing this, everyone praised Yi Concubine's good fortune again and again, and Yi Concubine smiled at everyone's words with knives in secret, completely lacking the sharp and barbed bravado of the past.
The concubines present couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw this, and even Shu Wan couldn't help but be curious, could it be that Yi Concubine really changed sex after she became pregnant? Is this the power of motherly love?
However, these were all unexpected by Shu Wan, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but the eyes that Cheng Concubine and the others threw at Yi Concubine were like a tiger seeing an opponent, with jealousy, hatred, madness, etc. in their eyes, but as soon as they blinked, they changed to another smiling face.
Shu Wan secretly exclaimed, the women in the palace are indeed all masters of acting, even the concubine who has just entered the palace, although she is young, she is not lagging behind at all.
Knowing such a happy event, Kangxi's interest was even stronger, and the palace banquet, which was already a little deserted, suddenly became lively.
However, these open and secret battles at the palace banquet are all things between adults, and in the eyes of a small person like Xiao Baozi, none of these have anything to do with him, he only knows that the people around him seem to be smiling, so he also laughs.
Today, in order to prevent Xiao Baozi from having any more accidents, Shu Wan deliberately took him with her, Shu Wan glanced at the baby son who kept smirking beside her, and helplessly sighed that the child was really simple-minded.
Because Xiao Baozi had already grown teeth, he could start eating some complementary food, so Shu Wan simply sandwiched a noodle into Xiao Baozi's small jade bowl and asked him to suck it by himself.
Shu Wan was eating, when she felt an unkind gaze shooting at the small bun next to her, Shu Wan swept it with her afterglow, it turned out to be the long-lost Wu Yashi.
At this moment, Wu Yashi was looking at the little bun next to him who was trying to suck the noodles with an envious look, and the desire in his eyes was simply to eat the little bun alive.
Shu Wan then remembered Wu Ya's little brother, Wu Ya's little brother was born in poor health, and the imperial doctor also said that the little brother can't be affected by the wind, and once he is affected by the wind, it may cause asthma, and this kind of banquet is naturally not allowed to participate, so now that he sees the healthy, white and cute little bun Wu Yashi is extremely envious.
It's just that Shu Wan hates Wu Ya's kind of eyes, and she hates it!
That look is a possessive look, a greedy look, an evil look!
Shu Wan's eyes lit up, and she shot straight at Wu Ya's family, and she dared to covet the little buns, she was simply looking for death!
Wu Yashi only felt that a cool breeze was blowing behind her, and goosebumps came out all over her body, and she was feeling strange, and as soon as she raised her head, she met Shu Wan's eyes, she had never seen such fierce eyes, and those eyes seemed to directly peel her skin and bones.
She quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Shu Wan again.
Wu Yashi's heart is still hairy now, her heart is pounding, she originally wanted to drink a glass of wine to calm down her emotions, but she didn't expect that because her hands were shaking too much, a glass of wine was spilled on the azure flag she was wearing today.
At this time, Wu Yashi had no choice but to hold the palace maid's hand and leave the banquet, and hurriedly returned to Zhong Cui Palace to change into clean clothes.
As for Shu Wan?
Of course, Shu Wan returned to her usual gentle and charming appearance, lazily picked up a bowl of green plum soup and rinsed her mouth, as if everything just now was just Wu Ya's imagination.
