Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Trap
After Kangxi took back the phoenix seal, he never returned it to the Empress Dowager, which is equivalent to seizing the palace power of the Empress Dowager in disguise.
As for the current palace power, because Concubine Tong is still grounded, it is handed over to Shu Wan and the other six concubines to take care of.
After the decree was issued, stacks and stacks of account books were moved into the Hidden Pavilion.
"What are they?"
Shu Wan rubbed her forehead, to be honest, she really didn't want to take over the palace power.
Although she is already a concubine, she has no cards at all, and the people in the palace look down on her openly and secretly, but to be honest, even she herself doesn't feel that she is already a concubine.
Just like this time, the other six people had already distributed the palace power without consulting her, and now the net remaining expenses of each palace and the matter of sprinkling and cleaning in each palace fell into her hands, and the doorway in this made her head bigger.
Fortunately, there was an old lady sent by Kangxi in her palace to guide her, and she gradually became familiar with these tedious affairs.
Xianfu Palace
Since Concubine An got the palace power, the whole person has become popular, and she no longer goes to trouble Wu Ya's family, and she focuses on the palace power.
However, Wu Ya's life has not changed much better because of An Concubine's inaction, since she used that medicine, she has been nervous, although after she became pregnant, the emperor's attitude towards her was much kinder, but no matter what, what is in her stomach now, the emperor doesn't know if she can still know?
The effect of the medicine was only five months at most, and if it was more than five months, the lie would be self-defeating, so she had to find a way to get rid of it before then.
This Tianwen clan came to chat with An Concubine again, because Wen often came to An Concubine before, so An Concubine was also polite to her, seeing that Wen also brought a plate of snacks, An Concubine hurriedly greeted warmly: "Sister Wen is always so polite, why do you have to bring gifts here in the palace every time." ”
The palace maid behind An Concubine took the dim sum and put it on the table, Wen held An Concubine's hand with a smile, and said something joking, "Niangniang now has palace power in her hands, so don't concubines have to rush to please Niangniang." ”
This sentence really pleased An Concubine, An Concubine smiled even more, beckoned people to serve snacks, fruits and tea, and the two chatted affectionately for a long time.
As soon as Wen left, Concubine An's face fell, looking at the untouched pastries on the table, and said contemptuously: "Why don't you take it away, what are you doing here?" ”
"Yes."
A palace maid hurriedly came up from the back and brought down the snacks, and An Concubine sat down, biting her lip and thinking seriously about what Wen said just now.
Just now, Wen's every sentence was a compliment to her, and the praise was so good that it was called a traceless and flowing water, and An Concubine was about to float, but Wen's next sentence directly stabbed into her heart, and Wen's tone said regretfully: "Now that Niangniang Palace is in power, if there is another little brother, it will be complete." ”
Seeing the sadness in Concubine An's eyes, Wen immediately stopped and said apologetically: "Niangniang, look at the concubine's mouth, she really can't speak, Niangniang is in the prime of life, and she must have her own children in the future." ”
Concubine An tried her best to put on a smiling face, "Yes, no one can say for sure what is going on in this palace, Concubine Yu is almost thirty years old and can still have children." ”
Wen replied in a harmonious voice: "Not really. ”
…
Although she said so, Concubine An herself knew that she could not have her own children in this life, and as early as when Queen Hesheri was still there, she had completely lost her qualification to become a mother.
Endless sadness came to her heart, and Concubine An glanced at her palatial Xianfu Palace, and the emperor hadn't been here for a long time.
In this lonely deep palace, she wants to have a support.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind, "Yunshui, you just ask Wu Ya to bring the little brother over, and the palace wants to see the little brother." ”
After a while, Wu Yashi and Little Brother came to the An Concubine Palace, Wu Ya was in front, and Little Brother was hugged behind by Grandma.
"Concubine see Concubine An."
Wu Ya's family saluted in a proper manner, and before she could squat down, Concubine An hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "You are pregnant now, it is not suitable to work, so sit down quickly." ”
"Yes, Concubine Xie An's mother."
An Concubine nodded, and couldn't wait to turn her eyes to the little brother behind, "That's the little brother, right?" ”
The grandmother hurriedly stepped forward and handed the baby brother to An Concubine, the little brother looked extremely thin, especially the little hands were like little chicken feet, the maternal love in An Concubine's heart instantly surged, and she looked at the little brother as if she was looking at her own biological child.
Seeing this, Wu Yashi smiled and said: "Being liked by my mother is a blessing for Yinqi's life." ”
An Concubine woke up instantly, reluctantly handed over the little brother to the grandmother next to her, and said to Wu Ya's family: "At a glance, I know that Sister Wu Ya's little brother is smart and cute, and my sister will take my little brother to play here in this palace in the future." ”
"Of course, as long as it doesn't disturb the mother, the concubine will come often," as he spoke, a trace of sadness floated between Wu Ya's eyebrows, "Actually, to be honest, the concubine also happens to have a reluctant invitation, so I'm afraid that I will make the mother unhappy when I say it." ”
Concubine An hurriedly asked with concern, "Sister Wuya, what's going on?" If you have a problem, tell Hongu, and Hongu will do its best to help you. ”
"Yes..."Wu Yashi raised his head and looked at An Concubine, "That's the case, the little brother has not slept well recently, and he always cries all night, Niangniang, you also know that since the concubine became pregnant, she has slept very unsteadily, plus the little brother's crying..."
Before Wu Ya finished speaking, An Concubine went up to hold her hand and volunteered: "This palace knows, these Wu Ya sisters have worked hard, if Wu Ya sister really can't take care of the little brother, it is better to let the little brother stay in the palace, and the palace will definitely take good care of the little brother." ”
Wu Yashi replied with a grateful smile, "With Niangniang taking care of it, the concubine will be relieved, then it will be troublesome to Niangniang." ”
That night, Concubine An let the little brother stay in her palace, looking at the little skinny little brother, An Concubine's whole heart was about to melt.
After coaxing the little brother to sleep, An Concubine lay on the little brother's bed and watched for a while before reluctantly leaving.
That night, Wu Yashi was removing the hairpin on his head, thinking of today's incident, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, he didn't expect that Wen's idiot to really believe what she said, and let An Concubine fall into the trap according to her arrangement.
Did Wen really think that she would have some kind of secret recipe for having children? Even if she had, she would never hand it over.
A few days later, the time has entered the middle of August, on this day, Zhiqiu hurriedly walked in, "Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang of Xianfu Palace has just been reprimanded by the emperor, and the palace power in her hand has been taken back. ”
"What?" Shu Wan held the hand of the tea bowl for a moment, and frowned, "What the hell is going on, you and Bengong talk carefully." ”
"Yes." Then Zhiqiu spoke eloquently.
It turned out that on this day, Kangxi happened to remember that Wu Yashi of Xianfu Palace was also pregnant, and this pregnant palace concubine would always be taken care of, so he took Liang Jiugong to take a look.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the door of Wu Ya's family, he heard a burst of crying.
"Little master, don't cry, you will still be pregnant now, you can't cry."
The sobbing continued for a long time, and after a long time, I heard Wu Yashi choke and say, "That's my own child, how can I not be sad?" My Yinqi is still so young, and before I even called my mother, it was taken away. ”
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, what was going on, why did the matter happen to Yinqi again, he pushed the door directly and entered, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Yashi with red eyes crying.
Wu Yashi wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and tried to put on a smile, "The emperor is here?" The concubine asked the emperor to say goodbye, and the emperor was blessed with gold. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Kangxi frowned deeply and helped Wu Yashi up, "Why are you crying so much when you're pregnant?" ”
Wu Yashi didn't answer, but the tears fell one by one.
Xia He, who was on the side, hurriedly came out and said, "If the little master doesn't say it, the slave and maid say it!" As he spoke, he knocked his head three times, "Back to the emperor, this matter is about An Concubine Niangniang, An Concubine Niangniang is the master of Xianfu Palace, and she actually hugged the little brother, and today the little master has not seen the little brother for five days, and the little master misses the little brother too much, so he can't help crying." ”
"Xia He, don't talk nonsense!" Wu Yashi scolded Xia He repeatedly, and turned his head to look at Kangxi pitifully, "Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, it's just, it's just that the concubine really misses the little brother!" Woooooo
Kangxi saw Wu Ya's crying into this miserable appearance, and he was really a little unbearable in his heart, and thought that although An Concubine was the main mother of Xianfu Palace, and it was also in line with the rules to raise Wu Ya's little brother, but it was too ruthless not to let the mother and son meet.
"Liang Jiugong, you will pass Concubine An over, I want to ask her face to face!"
