Chapter 112: Becoming a concubine
For several days in a row, the boy in the porridge shed did not show up, the soup was the big cow at the beginning, and the pearl that had been lying in ambush on the road also returned in vain, and the son appeared and disappeared out of thin air.
After Kangxi found out, he didn't have too many expressions, but just said: "I know, forget about this matter in the future." ”
After the people stepped back, Kangxi took out another fold and read it a few times, and a smile was dyed on his originally expressionless face.
The time has just arrived in early December, and it is about to celebrate the New Year, and now it has been five days since the Empress Dowager and her return to the palace, Kangxi feels that the time is almost up, the victims outside the palace have been arranged, and he can rest assured, so he immediately decided to take Shu Wan and them back to the palace.
Although Shu Wan knew that this day would always come, after all, she always belonged to the palace, but she was still inevitably a little sad.
After returning to the palace, she will have to fight with others again, robbing and robbing, how free and easy life is now in the imperial village.
She didn't like to be restrained in the first place, and she was used to living an unrestrained life in this imperial village, how could she get used to the rules and regulations in the palace.
As soon as Shu Wan noticed that she had this idea, she couldn't help but be startled by herself, and quickly shook her head, leaving these whimsical fantasies in her mind behind.
She is a member of the harem and is destined to belong to the palace, born to be a royal person, and to die a royal ghost.
Those thoughts that shouldn't be there, get rid of them as soon as possible, and you will have to cause trouble in the future.
On the evening before they left, Liang Jiugong sent a new winter flag costume with a smile on his face, "Jade Concubine Niangniang, it's just that the emperor personally ordered it to be given to Niangniang, and asked Niangniang to wear it tonight." ”
The flag is also delicate, with a light purple flag with silver threads on the face of roses.
The rose flower is her favorite flower, but she didn't expect Kangxi to know.
It was just dark, Kangxi came to her courtyard, and when she saw her wearing the flag costume, her eyes were full of surprise that could not be concealed, "It's so beautiful, Wan'er is really a beauty like no other in the world." ”
"The emperor has won the award."
Kangxi took out a purple jade bracelet from his arms, took Shu Wan's hand, and put the bracelet on her wrist. ”
Shu Wan smiled lightly, "Emperor Xie." ”
Then Kangxi changed his words, and said mysteriously: "Wan'er, come with me, I want to take you to see something." ”
"What is it?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Kangxi smiled at Shu Wan quite proudly, which aroused her curiosity.
Kangxi led her to a clearing, Shu Wan looked at the bare snow around her, and asked puzzledly, "What does the emperor want to take his concubines to see?" ”
As Kangxi whistled, many Kong Ming lanterns suddenly rose around, and the pale yellow light illuminated the entire snow into a warm candlelight color.
"Like it? This one is for you. ”
Kangxi had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he took out a Kong Ming lantern out of nowhere.
Shu Wan took a look, and saw that the lamp was also painted with a small portrait of Kangxi, her and the two children, so that the four of them really looked like a happy family.
His heart warmed, and there was a feeling hidden in his eyes, "Emperor Xie." ”
"Like it or not? Well? ”
Shu Wan nodded, "The concubine likes it very much, Emperor Xie." ”
Kangxi saw that she had a strong smile on her face, but there was a trace of sadness hidden in her eyes, knowing that she was thinking too much, so he hugged her in his arms and said very firmly: "Don't worry, Wan'er, I will never let you down, I will be a good husband and a good Ama, protect you, and don't let you be wronged." ”
"Yes, the concubine knows."
Shu Wan gently pushed him away, she thought that the emotions in her eyes had been well hidden, but she didn't expect to be seen.
After changing the topic, he said happily: "The emperor should quickly put this Kong Ming lantern with his concubines, the concubines heard that making a wish on Kong Ming lanterns is very effective, is it true?" ”
Kangxi's eyes were heavy, he sighed a little in his heart, and said with a smile: "Naturally it's true, what wish does Wan'er want to make?" ”
"The concubine didn't tell the emperor."
…
Although she knows that some things are destined to be impossible, now she is really grateful to Kangxi for such intentions, and hopes to cherish this beauty in her heart forever.
In the evening, when the two were honest and hugged each other, Shu Wan whispered in his ear, "Emperor Xie, the concubine is very happy today, really." ”
"You and I don't have to be so polite."
Kangxi held her in his arms, and the two snuggled together and quietly enjoyed a rare warm moment.
The next day, the carriage departed on time, and before noon, Shu Wan returned to the Youyou Pavilion, looking at every familiar ornament in the house, Shu Wan sighed helplessly.
The Empress Dowager naturally learned the news that Shu Wan had returned to the palace for the first time, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and asked Lama Su Ma to prepare the things that she would use later.
Not long after Shu Wan settled down, and before she had time to catch her breath, she received an order from the Empress Dowager to rush to Yongshou Palace immediately.
Shu knew that the last time she returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager wanted to take her away in order to create an opportunity for Concubine Cheng, but it was only later that Kangxi insisted that she could stay in the Huangzhuang.
Of course, this caused the Empress Dowager to be extremely dissatisfied, and now the Empress Dowager must be holding her stomach and has nowhere to spill, but she doesn't know what tricks she will use this time.
Shu Wan didn't have time to change her clothes, she just looked in the mirror, and saw that her clothes and hair were neat, so she took people to Yongshou Palace.
No wonder, it turned out that Concubine Cheng complained to the Empress Dowager about her black state.
"Jade Princess, kneel!"
As soon as she saw Shu Wan, the Empress Dowager's face became fierce.
"The mourning family heard that you dominate the emperor all day long in the imperial village, and don't let the emperor favor other people? Do you know that you are breaking the rules of your ancestors by doing this? ”
"The concubine is wronged, although the concubine doesn't know where you heard these rumors, but the concubine is really wronged, the emperor is busy with government affairs every day when he is in the imperial village, and sometimes the concubine can't see the emperor for a day, how can he dominate the emperor."
Shu Wan knelt down obediently, and quickly put on a look of grievance, because her attitude had always been very tough before, and even the Empress Dowager couldn't help but shake when she saw such a sudden change, and turned her head to look at Concubine Cheng, "Concubine Cheng, come on, what the hell is going on." ”
Concubine Cheng immediately cried and cried, but there were only a few words to say it, and it could be summed up in one meaning, that is, 'Kangxi didn't favor her, it was Shu Wan who said bad things about her in front of Kangxi, Shu Wan is the heinous and jealous demon concubine!'" ’
The Empress Dowager was even more furious when she heard this, pointed at Shu Wan and said sharply: "Concubine Yu, what else do you have to say?" ”
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine has nothing to say, Cheng Concubine doesn't care about her body, she has to dance in the snow, and as a result, she gets caught a cold, do you want to serve the emperor with illness?"
Concubine Cheng cried and cried, hiccuped loudly in public, and looked at the Queen Mother with a trembling body.
The Empress Dowager was even more stunned, and when Concubine Cheng came to complain, she naturally brushed aside the matter of illness, and her words were full of dissatisfaction with Shu Wan.
In her opinion, although Concubine Cheng was not very smart, she never dared to lie in front of her, so she didn't think about the truth of the matter, and only wanted to punish Shu Wan fiercely.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that she was still used as a knife today.
Shu Wan ignored Concubine Cheng's eyes that wanted to eat her, and continued to say leisurely: "The concubine and others have been in the Huangzhuang for a total of more than 20 days, and Concubine Cheng has been sick for more than half of the time, and the emperor and the imperial doctor of the hospital can testify, this palace concubine is sick, and naturally she can't continue to serve the emperor. ”
The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Cheng coldly, but today she wanted to clean up Shu Wan, and as for Concubine Cheng, she had a way to toss her.
"Okay, Concubine Cheng is sick, the emperor naturally can't spoil her, what about the others, when the mourning family left the imperial village, they arranged for many newcomers to stay there, are they all sick?"
"Speaking of this, then the Empress Dowager is even more wronged by the concubines, this time when she was in the Huangzhuang, the emperor has sealed a lot of promises and is always there, the Empress Dowager only needs to take a look at the history of this respectful room to know that the concubines will never dare to bear the rain and dew alone."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Cheng, who was already trembling, because Kangxi had been in the Huangzhuang these days, and this Tong Shi naturally stayed over there, and before she had time to take a look, Concubine Cheng came here to complain.
Shu Wan raised her head and smiled at Cheng Concubine, but the smile did not have the slightest warmth, but it made people's hearts beat.
These days, Kangxi naturally has a pampered newcomer, and sometimes, even if Kangxi wants to stay in her house, she will use the excuse to kick Kangxi out.
This person, after all, what you can't get is the best.
