Chapter 22: Falling
Shu Wan naturally didn't go on the day Concubine Tong held a flower-viewing banquet, but this time Concubine Tong's posture was really big, and the sound of bamboo wind music could be transmitted to the Youyou Pavilion from afar.
It is now July, and the weather is hot and humid, so Concubine Tong deliberately set up the flower viewing banquet at night, and at the same time, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of light, even the trees in the imperial garden are hung with small lanterns.
The soft light reflects the flowers, and under the light is a group of beauties that are more beautiful than flowers, and from a distance, the imperial garden at this time is really like a fairyland on earth.
The concubines were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a report from the little eunuch: "The emperor has arrived!" Concubine Tong has arrived! ”
The people who were chatting hurriedly sorted out their makeup and got up to greet them, and Concubine Tong was holding Kangxi's arm and walking towards everyone with a shy and happy face.
"Okay, let's all get up, I'm happy to enjoy the flowers today, and it's not good to be so well-behaved." Kangxi waved his hand and spared everyone from saluting.
After taking a seat, Kangxi looked around, only to see the beautiful people and flowers, the atmosphere was harmonious, and he was very happy, so he raised his glass and said to Concubine Tong: "Today's flower viewing banquet is good, I should reward you." ”
When Concubine Tong heard this, she pretended to complain and said: "If the emperor only rewards one concubine, I'm afraid all the sisters sitting below will be unconvinced." ”
"The concubine is serious, the lady has been working hard for the palace affairs, and the concubines are very grateful to the mother." Concubine Rou hurriedly got up to praise Concubine Tong, and under her leadership, everyone also stood up to thank her, "Thank you Concubine Tong for your hard work." ”
Looking at Kangxi on the side cast an approving glance at Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rou also gave Kangxi a coquettish expression, although the smile on Concubine Tong's face remained the same, the wine glass tightly pinched by her jade hand revealed her true thoughts at the moment.
"What Concubine Rou said is that you are very fortunate to work hard for the palace affairs all day long, and you deserve to be rewarded, so it is better to just..."
Speaking of this, Kangxi paused deliberately, took a glass of wine and moistened his throat, which really whetted the appetite of everyone present.
Concubine Tong's heart jumped to her throat, is the emperor going to promote her, is she going to be the queen? Has she finally waited for this day? Concubine Tong's breathing also became rapid, and the wine in the wine glass also spilled out of excitement.
Everyone below also speculated, and the expressions on their faces also changed.
Kangxi sat on it and was still as steady as Mount Tai, looking drunk but actually having a clear heart, and the expressions on everyone's faces were already in full view.
After another glass of wine, he said slowly, "Why don't I reward you with that tribute lotus glass lamp?" ”
Concubine Tong Guifei was immersed in the queen's dream and couldn't extricate herself, as soon as she heard that Kangxi just rewarded her with a lamp, the expression on her face suddenly cracked, but in the end, it was a human spirit living in the deep palace, and she quickly adjusted her smile, and she couldn't see the tense and embarrassment just now, "Emperor Xie, the concubine has been coveting that lamp for a long time?" ”
When everyone heard that they just appreciated the lamp, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Congratulations to the concubine/concubine." ”
Kangxi waved his hand, "Don't be hot, not only Concubine Tong has a reward today, but you also have a reward." ”
"Concubines/concubines, thank you for the emperor's reward, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Halfway through the flower-viewing banquet, Wu Yashi got up and wanted to go to the dressing room, Rou Concubine glanced at the begonia next to her, and a little eunuch who was not good-looking immediately followed, originally thought that Wu Yashi would come back soon, but he didn't expect to wait for a long time and not see him.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound in the distance, Xia He, who had been waiting next to Wu Yashi, hurriedly came over, Xia He looked panicked, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, please save my little master." ”
Kangxi was laughing with Concubine Tong, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your little master?" ”
Wu Yashi is now the only pregnant woman in the palace, but because of ominous reasons, Kangxi has a lot less expectations for the child in Ma Jia's belly.
"Back to the emperor, the slave was helping the little master to go back, but he didn't expect a little eunuch to rush out from the side and hit the little master, and the little master shed a lot of blood at that time."
"Hit by someone? So where is your little master now? Is there a doctor? Kangxi immediately became anxious, "Take me to see your little master." ”
Because the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Tong lived was closest to the Imperial Garden, Kangxi didn't think about it, so he ordered someone to carry Wu Yashi to the Chengqian Palace.
Kangxi walked around the house uneasily, and when the concubines saw this, they all felt that Kangxi must have attached great importance to Wu Ya's fetus, and unconsciously had three more points of hatred for Wu Ya's in their hearts.
Especially the concubines who have given birth to them, such as Hui Concubine and Nala Guiren and others, also secretly cursed Wu Yashi and the little brother in her belly in their hearts, thinking that the emperor didn't even come to guard them when they gave birth, why can Wu Ya enjoy this honor now?
Soon Imperial Physician Li, who was diagnosing Wu Ya's pulse, came out, "Back to the emperor, Wu Ya promised that this time she had fetal gas and her body was weak, if she didn't recuperate well, it was likely that she would..."
There was no need for Imperial Physician Li to say anything more later, Kangxi also understood the seriousness of the matter, "Then in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Wu Ya promised that he should recuperate in bed now, and it was best not to move."
"Don't move? This..."
Kangxi frowned when he heard this, Wu Yashi was originally a person in the Rou Concubine Palace, but now he wants to stay in the Chengqian Palace, what is the matter.
Fortunately, at this time, Concubine Tong said out in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, it is more important to have a dragon fetus, it is better to let Wu Ya's family stay in the Chengqian Palace to give birth, and the concubines should do their best to take care of Wu Ya's family." ”
The concubine on the side was not to be outdone, so she could only step forward and echo: "Yes, the emperor, or the noble concubine is right, it is better to let the Wu Ya clan stay in the Chengqian Palace, so as to ensure the safety of the imperial heir." ”
Concubine Rou glared at Concubine Tong fiercely, only to feel that the smile on Concubine Tong's face was dazzling.
The imperial doctor's advice came first, and the beauty persuaded last, so Kangxi just let Wu Ya stay in Chengqian Palace.
After dealing with this matter, Kangxi remembered that the little eunuch who caused Wu Ya's fall down, there was a conspiracy to even have an extra stone in this palace, he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence, otherwise why did so many people just bump into the pregnant Wu Ya's family, "Drag that little eunuch up to me." ”
The uneasiness in Concubine Rou's heart became even stronger, and when she saw the little eunuch, her original premonition also became a reality, this little eunuch was the little eunuch she sent to monitor the Wu Ya clan!
Secretly said in her heart that it was not good, it seemed that she should have been put on the side by Wu Ya today, but she didn't expect Wu Ya to even do this kind of thing in order to get out of her control.
Ever since Shu Wan's incident, Concubine Rou has felt that although she can predict the future, sometimes the development of things cannot be controlled by her.
Therefore, since Wu Ya's pregnancy, Concubine Rou has paid 120,000 points of attention to Wu Ya's family, and it can be said that Wu Ya's every word and deed every day is under her surveillance, just to prevent Wu Ya's family from having the opportunity to connect with Tong Guifei Chengqian Palace, but I didn't expect that something went wrong without paying attention to this small gap today.
Concubine Rou was annoyed in her heart, and repeatedly blamed herself for being too careless.
When the little eunuch dragged it up, Concubine Rou looked at the little eunuch seemingly indifferently, and the little eunuch seemed to be aware of it, thinking that his family's lives were in the hands of Concubine Rou, so he silently lowered his head and stopped struggling, hoping that his initiative to seek death could find a way for his family to live.
Shu Wan was far away in the Youyou Pavilion, but what happened in the Imperial Garden was in an uproar in the palace, and it was impossible for her not to know, "And then?" What did that little eunuch confess? ”
"No, the emperor originally ordered to escort people to the Shen Penal Division, but I didn't expect that the little eunuch would throw himself into the river while he was not paying attention, and when he was fished up, he was out of gas." Zhiqiu beat his legs while reporting to Shu Wan the news he heard today.
"That's a shame." It was originally a good opportunity to grab the handle of Rou Concubine, Shu Wan took her leg back, "Okay, you go down first, I want to rest for a while." ”
After Zhiqiu retreated, Shu Wan summoned Xiao Yezi out, and since Xiao Yezi entered her space once, she has relied on her to enter the space every day.
"Tell me, what did you find out today?"
Xiao Ye has now become a big leaf, and the originally small green man has now become the size of a palm, and as he grows up, Xiao Yezi's IQ has also improved a lot.
As soon as Xiao Yezi came out, he hugged Shu Wan's arm and rubbed it, and then spoke: "The tallest magnolia in the imperial garden said that the woman first hid to lure out the little eunuch, and then deliberately fell down. ”
After hearing this, Shu Wan hooked the corners of her lips, and sure enough, things were just as she guessed, Wu Yashi would make such a move in order to get rid of Rou Concubine, she was really a ruthless person.
Shu Wan knocked on the table with her fingers, but Rou Concubine is not easy to dismiss, but I don't know what Rou Concubine will do next?
Shu Wan now hopes that the two of them can fight as hard as possible, and it is best to lose both.
Shu Wan patted Xiao Yezi's head with satisfaction, and stroked the green silly hair on its head, this little helper is really capable, "You did a good job here, and now I have something to do here." ”
Xiao Yezi twisted his body awkwardly, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Then will I have any reward?" ”
Shu Wan felt that Xiao Yezi was definitely spoiled by her, not only sleeping in her space every day to absorb the aura of the space, but also eating a few elixirs from her from time to time, and now she directly asked her for rewards, what a spoiled child, no, little goblin.
However, when she thought of this mission, Shu Wan's heart softened again, "If you can handle this matter well, I will allow you to swim in that spiritual spring in the future." ”
That little leaf of Lingquan has been greedy for a long time, but Shu Wan has been restraining him, so he didn't succeed.
"Really? Then Xiao Ye will do it. Xiao Yezi happily spun around a few times, and then turned into a burst of green light and disappeared.
