Chapter 18: Selfishness
For Shu Wan, one of the benefits of pregnancy is that she can eat what she wants at any time, especially when she becomes very able to eat after she is pregnant, so this is exactly what she wants.
Shu Wan has also sighed in her heart more than once about the benefits of being favored, but it seems that she still has to work hard with Kangxi to strive for promotion after this production.
When she picked up a piece of freshly made jujube cake and was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly smelled an unusual bitter taste, and Shu Wan hurriedly put the piece of pastry back on the plate. "Zhixing, is it wrong for you to smell this plate of pastry?"
Zhixing took the plate and sniffed it one by one, "Back to the little master, there is a smell of soil ox knee juice in this pastry." ”
"Dirt hyssop? What is that? ”
"Soil hyssop is an excellent herb for blood circulation and blood stasis, but it can cause miscarriage in pregnant women."
"You just said that only this piece of pastry has the juice of the earth hyssop, and nothing else?"
"Yes, it's only in one pastry."
"Alright, you quickly take this plate of dim sum and dispose of it secretly."
"Yes."
"Oh, no, you wait."
Shu Wan has no appetite at all now, and since the news of her pregnancy spread, this calculation has been overwhelming.
What kind of meals, tonic with ginseng, lids, rims, chopsticks, etc., if you don't pay attention, you will be tricked, and when the time comes, you will not be able to find any evidence, not only to eat but also to use a lot, the rouge dripping oleander juice, the mouth grease smeared with poison, and even the flowers and stamens sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs also hide a lot of dirty things.
Some things were found out by Zhixing and Zhiqiu, and some things couldn't even be found out by the two of them, so they still realized it when Shu Wan used it.
These calculations can be said to be unguardable, just like this jujube cake, from the raw materials used to the pastry served up, the whole process has been stared at, but I didn't think about it.
In the past, she always felt that the TV series was too exaggerated, but when she was in it, she realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and if it weren't for the fact that she had practiced the exercises, she wouldn't have discovered these things at all.
She didn't even have the most basic ability to protect herself in this palace, and if she was so frightened every day, Shu Wan really didn't know how long she could last.
Zhixing looked at Shu Wan cautiously with the plate, "Little master, do you have other plans?" ”
Shu Wan picked up the drugged snack and looked at it, then bit it lightly and spit it out again.
"Zhixing, my stomach hurts so much! Go and get the doctor! Shu Wan hugged her stomach and looked extremely painful.
Seeing this, Zhixing also understood, and hurriedly cried and shouted to ask for a doctor.
As the only pregnant woman in the palace, Shu Wan's belly is still very valued by Kangxi, so she also came to visit in person after hearing that Shu Wan had fetal gas.
"Doctor Liu, how can this horse often get a tire gas in a good way, but what's wrong?"
"Back to the emperor, according to the minion, Ma Changzai ate blood-moving food, so he had fetal gas."
"What did Ma Chang eat today?"
"Back to the emperor, the little lord got up this afternoon and ate a bite of this jujube cake, and then his stomach suddenly hurt."
Zhixing presented the plate of jujube flower cake, Kangxi looked at it, and sure enough, one of the pastries had been bitten.
"Doctor Liu, let's see what's wrong with this plate of dim sum."
Imperial Physician Liu picked up the piece that Shu Wan had bitten, sniffed it carefully, put it down, and checked the remaining pieces one by one. "Back to the emperor, Ma Chang was added with soil ox knee juice to the pastry he bitten, and the other pieces are fine."
"This earth hyssop may be eaten by pregnant women?"
"The soil ox knee is cold, and it has the effect of invigorating blood, which can easily cause miscarriage in pregnant women, and pregnant women are useless."
"How is the horse always now?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Ma Chang is not eating much, and he will be fine if he prescribes a few pairs of fetal pills."
"Bastard, what a bastard! Liang Jiugong, go and find out for me, I want to know how many cats are still hidden in this palace! ”
Kangxi couldn't help but be furious, he had a thin heir, and now he finally had a pregnant one who was killed and almost miscarried, the emperor was originally a suspicious creature, and now he dared someone to harm his heir so openly, will someone harm himself one day? At this moment, Kangxi launched a full association again.
Looking at the little man with a pale face on the bed, a deep pity rose in Kangxi's heart, as if he had never seen Shu Wan's weak appearance.
Shu Wan's initial impression in his heart was that she was cowardly and timid, then she was stunning in the world, and then she was aura, as if there would be new surprises every time he saw her, but he didn't like this weak appearance, and gently smoothed Shu Wan's frowning brows with his hands.
After waiting for a while, Kangxi had to deal with the affairs of the court, and before leaving, he beat his subordinates and told them to take good care of Shu Wan.
Not long after Kangxi walked out of the door, Shu Wan, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly, although she had been closing her eyes just now, she could feel Kangxi's emotional changes, it seems that she is now more than just a plaything in Kangxi's heart.
Shu Wan was happy in her heart, just now she used her spiritual power to disguise the pulse, so Imperial Doctor Liu would come up with such a result, and as for the fetus in the womb, it would naturally be fine.
It seems that pretending to be weak from time to time is also very useful, Shu Wan smiled with satisfaction and fell asleep deeply.
As for who wanted to murder Shu Wan, the clue was broken after a few days of investigation, and a little eunuch who was helping in the imperial dining room was found dead in the dry well of the cold palace, so this matter can only be solved like this.
But as compensation for Shu Wan, Kangxi specially allowed Shu Wan to have her own small kitchen, which was also an unexpected joy, of course, Kangxi's actions were also a warning to the harem concubines, if anyone wanted to attack the pregnant palace concubine in the future, then they had to weigh whether they could withstand the anger from the emperor.
Shu Wan was eating pea yellow made in the small kitchen when she listened to Xiaodouzi's return in the palace, she already knew that it was not so easy to find out, after all, the relationship in this palace was complicated, even the emperor couldn't figure it out for a while, but as long as she left an impression in Kangxi's heart now that she was a victim.
Cining Palace
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and took a sip, "The taste of this Junshan silver needle this year is not as good as in previous years." ”
Kangxi echoed, "The rain is not good this year, so the taste of the tea is not enough, but I didn't expect it to be tasted by Huang Mama." ”
In fact, the taste of this tea is not good, the origin of this Junshan silver needle is in Hunan, a few days ago Wu Sangui called the emperor in Hengyang, Hunan Province called the name of Zhou, and now I drink this tea mainly in my heart is not a taste.
The Empress Dowager put down the tea bowl and sighed lightly, "Now that the mourning family is old, their energy is not good, and they don't want to worry about the affairs of the harem, but the affairs of the harem are about a balance, and if the harem is unstable, it will also have an impact on the previous dynasty." ”
"What Mama Huang said is that her grandson has been taught." Kangxi thought about it, he didn't seem to favor that concubine recently, how could Huang Ma Ma suddenly say this.
"Is it too crowded in the Zhongcui Palace now?" The Empress Dowager shook her head when she saw this, this grandson of hers is politically sensitive enough, but she is still almost angry about the affairs of the harem.
Although the Empress Dowager has been recuperating in Cining Palace, but her eyes and ears are all over the palace, and there is nothing she can't inquire about if she wants to know, recently she heard that there are three favorite concubines living in the palace, and there are two favored little masters, and there is a faint trend of dominance in the palace, so it is likely to destroy the balance of the harem.
When Kangxi heard this, he suddenly realized, now Rou Concubine, Shu Wan and Wu Ya are all favored, and two of them are also pregnant, and it is indeed not suitable to live in the same palace again, Kangxi thought about it and had an idea, Zhong Cui Palace is too crowded to let a person move out.
The Empress Dowager sighed helplessly in her heart, she really didn't want to care about this harem matter, thinking that it had been more than fifty years since she was a teenager in the Forbidden City, and she had long been annoyed by these intrigues.
Originally, I thought that setting up a queen could share this burden, but I didn't expect that the two queens were one vicious and the other was weak and sickly, which made her feel at ease, and the queen mother couldn't help but envy the queen mother who lived a chic life in Changchun Garden.
"Huang Ma has something on her mind?" Kangxi has been by the Empress Dowager's side for many years, and the slightest change in expression on the Empress Dowager's face can't escape his eyes.
"It's okay, the mourning family wants to go to Changchun Garden in July and August to enjoy Qingfu."
"It's the grandson who is not filial, and he has always had to worry about the royal grandmother."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "It has nothing to do with you, the mourning family is just old, and I am really not used to the noisy and noisy palace all day long, and I am in a panic." ”
"Then the grandson will order someone to prepare."
"There's no urgency in this matter, but after the mourning family leaves, someone still has to take care of this harem."
"What do you mean?"
"Tong is your cousin and Tong Guowei's daughter, and she can afford the position of this imperial concubine."
In fact, the position of the queen is also shouldered, but the empress dowager has always disliked the style of a Han woman on Tong Jia's body, but Tong Jia's has been in the palace for many years, although it is not as virtuous as Queen Niu Colu, but it is much stronger than the poisonous woman Hesheri.
Kangxi nodded, it was still Huang Ma Ma who was right, this harem matter should indeed be handed over to a woman, and no matter in terms of origin or emotion, Tong Jia's family is indeed the most suitable candidate, "Huang Ma rest assured, the ministers will arrange everything." ”
…
In fact, Kangxi originally planned to let Wu Ya's move to the palace, after all, Wu Ya's family was born as a palace maid and Shu Wan and Concubine Rou were sisters, which was more important than one was self-evident, but what happened in the past few days made Kangxi hesitate.
