Chapter 40 Concubine Tong is pregnant
"Wan'er is so laid-back." Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little snack in his heart when he saw Shu Wan's free and happy life, thinking that although he was an emperor, he hadn't lived such a chic life.
"Come on, come on, play with Battle," Shu Wan got up and grabbed Kangxi's hand and stuffed a rattle into Kangxi's hand, "Your Majesty, Battle's watching you." ”
Kangxi saw that Battle was staring directly at the rattle in his hand without letting go, and he kept babbling in his mouth, his little appearance was really cute, so he also stepped forward to tease Battle.
After Battle got the rattle, he lay on Kangxi's body to bite and gnaw, Shu Wan was afraid that the last boy urine incident would happen again, so she hurriedly hugged Battle down, who knew that Battle's little temper actually came up, and he hugged Kangxi and didn't let go.
"The emperor forgives the sin, Battle is too stubborn."
Kangxi waved his hand and shook Battle in his arms, at this time Battle was shrunk in his arms aggrievedly, his little face was red, "It's okay, just let him stay in my arms." ”
Shu Wan patted Battle lightly, "You little villain, you will be coquettish to you at such a young age." ”
Kangxi smiled, "This is quite like Wan'er you." ”
"Your Majesty, don't make fun of your concubines."
After Kangxi played with Battle for a while, Battle's little clever little yawn, and Shu Wan saw this and quickly hugged Battle.
After returning to the palace, he found Kangxi looking at her newly pruned plum blossoms in a daze.
Shu Wan quietly gestured to the people around her, and when Zhixing saw this, she hurriedly took the servants who were waiting inside out.
"What's the emperor's trouble?" Shu Wan stepped forward and gently knelt on Kangxi's shoulder, "Why don't you tell the emperor to tell your concubines about it, maybe the emperor's mood will improve." ”
Kangxi frowned and rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb, "It's okay, I just have something I want to ask Wan'er for your opinion." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Kangxi touched Shu Wan's hair, and said in a flat tone: "Here's the thing, I raised a cat I liked very much before, although the cat was very kind on weekdays, but a few days ago it accidentally scared people, and now the people around me are persuading me to kill that beast, but I still have some feelings for that cat, what do you say I should do with that cat?" ”
Shu Wan's eyes rolled and showed a knowing smile.
"Did that cat really just scare people and didn't kill people?"
Kangxi shook his head, "Of course not." ”
Shu Wan casually took Kangxi's hand, "Anyway, the concubine thinks that as long as it is something that the emperor likes, it is extremely precious, even if it is just a cat, it is also the cat that the emperor likes, and it is naturally extremely noble, right, the emperor?" ”
Kangxi nodded approvingly, and Shu Wan continued: "Besides, the cat didn't hurt anyone, as long as it is restrained in the future, it won't scare others anymore." ”
"And what about the man who was scared by the cat?"
"Naturally, it is good to appease and compensate, but if that person is still desperate, the emperor simply..."Shu Wan snorted squeamishly, and made a gesture of raising the knife and dropping the knife, "The emperor simply cut off his head, anyway, it's useless to keep someone who doesn't know what to do like that." ”
"Nonsense, you can say things like cutting off your head." Kangxi gently knocked on Shu Wan's smooth forehead, but there was no blame in his tone.
"Obviously, the emperor wants the concubine to tell the truth, this is all the concubine's thoughts, if the emperor doesn't like it, then the concubine has not said it, why do you want to bully the concubine?" Shu Wan pretended to be angry, covered her forehead and had a little temper with Kangxi.
"Okay, okay, Wan'er is right, as long as it's something I like, then what's not to do?" Kangxi put one hand around Shu Wan's small waist, "Wan'er is really a person who wakes up in a dream." ”
"Emperor Xie's praise, in fact, it is all good taught by the emperor."
…
Liang Jiugong, who was outside, heard the laughter coming from inside, his face was incredulous, and he hurriedly looked up to see if the sun came out of the west today.
He has been serving by the emperor's side for so many years, so he naturally knows how the emperor behaves when he is angry, he knows that the emperor's mood is not going well these days, but he didn't expect that the emperor's mood changed for the better after meeting with the jade concubine, and Liang Jiugong had to admire it from the bottom of his heart.
Liang Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he should learn more from the Jade Concubine in the future, so that he will not have to be so worried about this errand in the future.
At noon, Shu Wan specially prepared a hot pot and ate it with the spicy oil she concocted, and Kangxi and Shu Wan were both sweating profusely.
Although Kangxi talks about health preservation on weekdays, and tries not to eat such a heavy taste as much as possible, this time Kangxi made a rare exception.
The two were eating hot pot with refreshing apricot blossom wine, and the two of them drank slightly drunk unconsciously.
As for the rest of the palace, it was not so calm, and everyone was shocked by the news that Concubine Tong was pregnant.
Not only the concubine Hesheri and Concubine Xiao Niu Cobalt, these two are related to the first two queens, so they naturally don't want Concubine Tong to conceive a child, after all, doesn't this mean that Concubine Tong is one step closer to the back position, and in addition, the biggest shock must be Concubine Rou.
The Yuxiang Pavilion where the concubines live in the palace
Concubine Rou almost fainted when she heard the news that Concubine Tong was pregnant, what is going on, how can Concubine Tong be pregnant now?
The news of Concubine Tong's pregnancy directly frightened Concubine Rou's face, Concubine Rou thought for a long time, but she didn't have a clue, just when she was beating her chest, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the small flower box that was placed on the bedside to store things on weekdays, Rou Concubine was startled, and quickly took out the key from under the dark compartment of the cabinet to open the flower box.
Rou Concubine looked through the things inside one by one, and flipped through them again for fear of missing something, no, still no, sure enough, the secret recipe for giving birth to a child is gone!
Rou Concubine suddenly threw the little flower box to the ground, good you Tong Guifei, you dare to reach out to her!
Concubine Rou was about to go crazy, she didn't expect that secret recipe to be stolen by Concubine Tong, this is good, if Concubine Tong used this secret recipe to give birth to a little brother, then what should she do?
At this moment, Concubine Rou's heart was like a mess, and she had no clue, she had to force herself to calm down, and her eyes slid a dangerous light, this queen's position can only be hers, and anyone who dares to stand in her way will die!
Thinking like this, Concubine Rou calmed down her heart, her eyes sank, since Concubine Tong was able to reach her this time, it means that she must have Concubine Tong's eyeliner in the palace, and she dared to play tricks under her nose, she was really impatient.
The Qiyun Pavilion where Concubine Tong lives in the palace
"Congratulations to Niangniang for getting what she wanted." Mama Tong's old face smiled and blossomed, after so many years, the master and mother are finally pregnant, God bless.
Concubine Tong touched her lower abdomen and smiled silently, although this time she sacrificed a few dark threads that she had been planting in Rou Concubine, but it was very cost-effective to be able to get the secret recipe for this life.
Concubine Tong is now a secret recipe in hand, everything is not worried, after all, there are such good things, and it is not easy to want a son.
Concubine Tong is now happily waiting for the news that the emperor is going to promote her to queen.
Seeing that Concubine Tong was in a good mood, Mama Tong pretended to be casual and mentioned the annoying Mama Xu, "Niangniang, since Niangniang now has this secret recipe, what should Mama Xu do?" ”
This is a problem, after all, one of the conditions for Mama Xu to impress Concubine Tong was that she would refine the child pill for Concubine Tong, but now that Concubine Tong has obtained the secret recipe, Mama Xu is useless, but Concubine Tong remembered the magical potion prepared by Mama Xu, and she was really a little reluctant in her heart.
Mama Tong seemed to see Concubine Tong's thoughts, and said secretly on the side: "Niangniang, in fact, that Mama Xu is just a slave in the end, as a minion, she is often disrespectful to Niangniang, Niangniang can't let her continue to be so presumptuous!" ”
Concubine Tong's eyes flowed, or what Mama Tong said was right, even if Mama Xu made a good potion, what could she do, she dared to be disrespectful to her, it was simply a ghost door slammed into it, and after thinking about it, Concubine Tong said to Mama Tong: "Then let Mama Xu be dealt with." ”
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Mama Tong's mouth, "Yes." ”
It just so happened that Mama Xu didn't come with her when she left the palace this time, as long as she let people do things well during this period, then when she returned to the palace next year, no one would notice the disappearance of an old mama.
The palace is in the apse of the Qiangong Palace
Wu Yashi was also carried away by the sudden news of Tong Guifei's pregnancy, and a few days ago, the clan also handed over a message to ask her to find a way to report the little brother to a high-ranking concubine to raise, she was trying to figure out a way to plan, but she didn't expect that the news that Tong Guifei was pregnant suddenly came, and the original plans were also in vain.
Although Wu Yashi is reluctant to let people mention the past when she used to be a palace maid, she also understands where her weakness is, that is, her background, her background is not even comparable to those palace concubines from Han people, let alone those Manchu nobles.
In this palace, there is not only a sentence 'the mother is more expensive than the son', but also the sentence 'the son is expensive by the mother'.
Before the little brother entered the government, the more noble the biological mother, the more attention she would get, and Wu Yashi naturally knew this, so she could make up her mind to give the little brother to others to raise, as long as the little brother had a noble adoptive mother, then the status of the little brother would also rise.
In fact, at the beginning, Shu Wan was the favorite candidate of Wu Ya's family, firstly, because Shu Wan was born noble and was the daughter of Ma Jia's family, and secondly, because Shu Wan was old, as long as Shu Wan's only sixth elder brother could be killed now, then presumably Shu Wan would not be pregnant again in the future.
Then she took this opportunity to propose to the emperor that she was willing to give the seventh elder brother to Shu Wan to raise, presumably the emperor would immediately agree to Shu Wan because she was experiencing the pain of losing her child and needed comfort.
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, but the sixth elder brother fell into such a cold lake and nothing happened, and he had to let Wu Yashi turn his attention to others.
The second candidate selected by Wu Yashi is Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong is the emperor's cousin who is related to each other by blood, and she is also a good candidate for the position of concubine.
But this time, the news of Concubine Tong's sudden pregnancy interrupted all of Wu Ya's plans, do you really want to change your plan to raise the little brother to others, Wu Ya thought of several candidates and felt dissatisfied, these people are either from a bad background, or they already have children.
This incident really annoyed Wu Yashi for a while, but Wu Yashi immediately thought that Concubine Tong's child had not yet been born, and it was not yet possible to say whether it would be a man or a woman, and besides, it was not certain whether she would be born safely at that time.
Thinking of this, Wu Yashi's heart finally felt a little more relaxed, and a dangerous light flashed through her eyes.
