Kangxi was in the Qianqing Palace, and when they heard each other, the palace maids around the Empress Dowager came to ask for a meeting, so they hurriedly called someone in.

"What's the matter, but Huang Ma is not feeling well again?"

The palace maid shook her head and said with sincere fear: "No, the queen mother is in good health, this time the slave maid came, it was... It's for the sake of the Jade Concubine. ”

Then she told the story of Shu Wan's late arrival and being scalded by the tea today, of course, ignoring the real temperature of the tea in the story.

After speaking, he cautiously looked at Kangxi's expression, and saw that Kangxi didn't say a word, but there was already anger in his eyes.

Secretly happy in his heart, he said with a fake face: "The Empress Dowager is very guilty, and she has already sent the best scald medicine to the Jade Concubine, and please rest assured." ”

After listening to the little palace maid's story, Kangxi had a pimple in his heart, it was originally that Shu Wan was late and delayed to greet the Empress Dowager, and a cup of tea was not very hot, how could she not stand up in pain?

Could it be that he is petty in front of the Queen Mother?

Not to mention that this time the Empress Dowager was able to send someone to explain the situation to him, which naturally set off a different wave in Kangxi's heart.

After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "I know, let Huang Ma relax, I will go to Yongshou Palace for dinner tonight." ”

"Yes, if the Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was going, she would definitely be very happy!"

Kangxi smiled: "Then why don't you go back and tell the news to Huang Mama." ”

"Yes!"

After the palace maid left, Kangxi's face suddenly pulled down.

That night, it was not only Kangxi who accompanied the Empress Dowager to dinner in Yongshou Palace, but also the charming concubines who were dressed up.

The three people at a table had their own thoughts, and Concubine Cheng's eyes kept looking at Kangxi, and after finishing the meal, Kangxi directly took Concubine Cheng back to Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi was not in high spirits, and after the hurried end of the concubine, he had to ask someone to carry the water in, but the concubine was not less interested, and wrapped around Kangxi like a water snake.

"Your Majesty, don't you like concubines?"

Concubine Cheng put her hand on Kangxi's chest, and her body was about to move.

Kangxi frowned imperceptibly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "How can it be, it's just that I still have a bunch of folds to approve today, and I really can't accompany my concubine." ”

"Oh, so that's the case," Concubine Cheng reluctantly let go of Kangxi, lowered her head and hugged Kangxi's waist, "The concubine is here waiting for the emperor to come back." ”

"Well, if you feel sleepy, go to bed first, you don't have to wait for me."

While the two were talking, Kangxi had already dressed and settled into a concubine, and the two were tired of it again, and Kangxi left.

Usually Kangxi doesn't allow anyone to come in when he approves the folds at night, and tonight is certainly no exception.

Kangxi picked up the candlestick next to him and shook it three times, and a man in black appeared behind him, "Is the emperor going out tonight?" ”

"Well, if anyone comes, send them away as they did before."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Through Kangxi, he walked into the secret passage, and soon his figure was hidden in the night.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong saw a figure flickering in the window, so he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you have any orders?" ”

Kangxi's voice came from the house, "I will naturally call you if I have something, Liang Jiugong, you go and tell Concubine Cheng that I will approve the folds until late tonight, tell her to rest first." ”

Liang Jiugong's eyes rolled, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

Kangxi came to the secluded pavilion by night, and went to her bedroom as usual but didn't see anyone, and after a little thought, he knew that she must have gone to the side hall to accompany Battle and Furguo.

Sure enough, now Shu Wan is sleeping soundly with a small bun in one hand, Kangxi just wanted to lower his head and kiss her, Shu Wan suddenly woke up.

put the two small buns away, and asked Kangxi quietly, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

After Kangxi heard this, he also lowered his voice and replied: "Aren't you burned, I will come to see you." ”

"The concubine is fine."

Shu Wan put her hand on her lower abdomen and stopped Kangxi from letting him look at it, Kangxi looked at her angrily, "If you mess with me again, Battle and they should wake up." ”

"Okay, but the emperor is not allowed to dislike his concubines." Shu Wan bit her lower lip and slowly lifted her blouse, revealing the gauze wrapped around her waist.

"How can it be so serious?"

Kangxi saw that there was some blood faintly revealing on the gauze, and he was immediately distressed, how could a cup of tea be scalded like this.

"The concubine wears little clothes, and she is accidentally burned like this."

"Humph! No matter how little it is, it will never be scalded like this. ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, he felt that something was wrong when the Empress Dowager sent someone to report the news, he had been with the Empress Dowager for more than 20 years, and his temperament naturally touched six or seven points.

As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't like people, no matter what, they must be removed, so he doesn't expect the Empress Dowager and Shu Wan to become affectionate, he just hopes that the two can coexist peacefully.

Unexpectedly, this time it was used again.

Kangxi snorted coldly, the women in this harem pay attention to maintenance, and they are afraid of leaving scars on their bodies on weekdays, but then again, who would have thought that a small cup of tea would be so powerful, and he couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.

"Tomorrow I will send the Buddha Zhi ointment, your skin is delicate, but don't leave any scars."

Shu Wan's fingertips caressed Kangxi's brows, and the warm touch made Kangxi fascinated.

I hugged Kangxi tightly, pillowed my head on his shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, the emperor can come tonight, the concubine is already very moved, the plaster is expensive, it is rare for the emperor to keep it himself, the concubine's injury is scary, but it is not very serious." ”

"Nonsense! It's all like this, and it's not serious! ”

Kangxi suddenly raised his voice, and the two little brothers on the side suddenly chirped, Shu Wan hurriedly comforted softly, and it took a while to coax it.

Hearing the cry of the little brother, the grandmother who was keeping vigil outside the door hurriedly said, "Niangniang, is the little brother okay?" Do you need slaves to go in? ”

"It's okay, this palace can handle it."

Shu Wan glanced at Kangxi, and saw that he was hugging his two sons, and he looked like he was enjoying it.

The grandmother outside the door retreated, Shu Wan pouted and slapped Kangxi's calf, "Your Majesty, look, you have caused trouble for your concubines again." ”

"I feel sorry for you," Kangxi held her hand, "Come here, sleep with me." ”

Kangxi hugged her in his arms with Battle and Furguo, Shu Wan glanced up at Kangxi, just staring at him, Kangxi's gentle smile on his face inexplicably made her heart beat faster.

She didn't expect Kangxi to come this time, but... She was happy.

His eyes smiled like a crescent moon, kissed his chin, and then fell asleep in his arms with peace of mind.

Every night, the Empress Dowager will look at her face in front of the mirror, and this mirror is a diorama specially found by Kangxi for her, which is much clearer than the bronze mirror.

"Su Ma, look, is there a little less wrinkles on the mourning family's face?"

As soon as the Empress Dowager remembered the young and watery face of Shu Wan she saw today, she couldn't help but go crazy with jealousy.

Su Ma Lama stood behind the Empress Dowager, and when she raised her head, she only saw two drooping women in the mirror, but one was dressed luxuriously and the other was wearing palace maid clothes.

No one wants the years to pass, and no woman can accept that her face is getting old, Su Ma Lama quickly lowered her head, did not dare to look at her face in the mirror anymore, and said: "Gege was our first beauty in Manchu and Mongolia when he was young, and now his demeanor is not diminished. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Lama Suma, who was obviously much older than herself in the mirror, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "That's still the first beauty in Manmeng, and the mourning family is old." ”

"Gege, don't say that, Gege is still young."

"You're going to say pretty things."

The Empress Dowager stretched out her left hand, and Su Ma hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Gege, it's late at night, the slave will help you to rest." ”

"The emperor is still with Concubine Cheng?"

"Yes, they should have rested by now."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "That's good." ”

Qianqing Palace

Although Kangxi had already said that Concubine Cheng would sleep first, Concubine Cheng couldn't sleep at all, after all, Kangxi had just finished so sloppily, and she was still a little dissatisfied.

Tossing and turning on the bed several times, suddenly heard a sound, Cheng Concubine's heart instantly became excited, and shouted outside through the bed tent: "Your Majesty, is it you?" ”

A palace maid replied tremblingly: "Back to Cheng Concubine Niangniang, just now a hairy little eunuch accidentally knocked over the basin, and asked Niangniang to forgive her sins." ”

Concubine Cheng flattened her mouth and said impatiently: "Don't drag it out quickly and deal with it according to the palace rules!" ”

"Yes."

After a while, Concubine Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What about the emperor, hasn't the emperor finished approving the excerpt?" ”

The palace maid's voice came through the bed tent, "Yes, the emperor is still approving the folds." ”

Concubine Cheng put on a dress and got out of bed in a hurry, "Go and tell the imperial dining room to make a cup of health soup, the emperor is so hard, the palace wants to go and see the emperor in person!" ”

Soon, Concubine Cheng came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace with health soup, Liang Jiugong was guarding outside with two black circles under his eyes, and when he saw Concubine Cheng, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "The slave sees Concubine Cheng's mother." ”

"Get up," Concubine Cheng waved her hand casually and pointed to the door of the palace, "The emperor is still in there to approve the folds?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked inside.

Because of the lesson of the last time, Liang Jiugong didn't dare to put Cheng Concubine in easily this time, "Cheng Concubine Niangniang stayed, the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and I am afraid that the emperor will be displeased if she enters rashly." ”

Concubine Cheng had a calm face and stared at Liang Jiugong for a long time, and then reluctantly said, "Then bother Father-in-law Liang to report for the palace." ”

"Yes."

Liang Jiugong went in and didn't say a word before he was kicked out by the emperor, "Bold minion, don't you know that I am dealing with government affairs, if you delay the opportunity, I will definitely cut off your head!" ”

Liang Jiugong said to Concubine Cheng with a sad face: "Niangniang, look, the emperor is very angry at this time." ”

Concubine Cheng raised her eyebrows and said menacingly: "It is because the emperor is angry that the palace needs to go in even more." ”

After speaking, ignoring Liang Jiugong's obstruction, he shouted loudly outside: "Your Majesty! Emperor! It's a concubine! Emperor! Don't you even see your concubines? ”

At this moment, Kangxi opened the door and walked out, frowning and saying to Concubine Cheng in a dissatisfied tone: "What kind of place is this, how can you be so presumptuous!" ”

Concubine Cheng broke free and threw herself on Kangxi, "Please also ask the emperor to forgive her sins, the concubine just misses the emperor too much." ”

Kangxi frowned, and glanced at Liang Jiugong viciously, "What are they doing to eat, what are they doing there, why don't you send Concubine Cheng back to Qixiang Palace soon!" ”

Concubine Cheng froze there all of a sudden, "Your Majesty..."

Liang Jiugong came back to his senses all of a sudden, and together with a few little eunuchs, he finally pulled the crumbling Cheng Concubine away, "Cheng Concubine Niangniang, the night is heavy, you should go back." ”

Concubine Cheng bit her lip and glanced at Kangxi and then at Liang Jiugong, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted and deformed.

Kangxi snorted and strode away.

Seeing Kangxi leaving, Concubine Cheng just wanted to catch up, but was immediately stopped by Liang Jiugong, "Concubine Cheng, don't embarrass us slaves." ”

Concubine Cheng stomped her feet, and could only return to Qixiang Palace in a gloomy manner.
