Kangxi was not quiet, and bathing failed to relieve the heat on his body, and after seeing Cao Yue's belly pocket accidentally left in the bath, the anger in his heart became more and more difficult to calm.

Therefore, Kangxi hastily scrubbed his lower body, and without even drying his body, he came out eagerly in his middle coat.

It's just that the wish is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and the beauty Kangxi saw after coming out had pale lips and curled up on the bed with a weak face, which was very different from the beautiful picture he thought in his mind.

The loss flashed, Kangxi sat on the edge of the bed in three steps and two steps, and touched Cao Yue's slightly cool cheek with the back of his hand: "What's wrong?" The face is so ugly. ”

said that Kangxi was going to order someone to pass on the imperial doctor.

Cao Yue hurriedly snorted and stopped.

Kangxi suppressed the dryness in his heart, looked at Cao Yue suspiciously, and saw Cao Yue's white teeth biting his lower lip, and after a while, he bit out a tooth mark, with a faint smug in his empty voice, and even his eyes were a little evasive: "It's just a problem with my daughter's family, it's not worth taking the emperor to heart, just take it slowly." ”

Kangxi is not an ignorant hairy boy, seeing Cao Yue say this, he immediately understood, but he has had so many women, and he has never met someone who wants to come to him on the night of his favor, and he doesn't know how to react for a while.

If it were a different person, Xu would have lifted his feet and left, but it was Concubine Zhao, who was cold, withdrawn and abrasive, Kangxi always felt that if he left like this, many things that he had done to change his attitude towards him would become useless.

Although Cao Yue is a woman, she also favored the harem when Liu Bang was alive, how could she not understand the idea of an emperor, in essence, everyone who is an emperor has the same problem, suspicious and arrogant.

She only needs to use her brain a little to get a glimpse of Kangxi's thoughts.

There was silence in the warm pavilion for a moment, Cao Yue hesitated and pulled the corner of Kangxi's middle coat, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, the concubine is unwell today, I'm afraid I can't entertain you." ”

Kangxi kept rubbing his fingers, pushed the boat down the water, and thoughtfully helped Cao Yue tuck the corners of the quilt, if he ignored the red at the corners of Kangxi's eyes, his attitude could be called extremely gentle: "Okay, I guess you won't rest at ease here, then I won't bother you." ”

After the words fell, Kangxi thought about it again, said a few more words of concern and comfort, and stopped Cao Yue from getting up and sending him off before striding out, putting on a big coat and returning to the east courtyard.

As soon as Kangxi left, An Ning, who was dumb on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but complain to Cao Yue: "The emperor's momentum is too strong, this is obviously our place, and when the emperor comes, we are uncomfortable." ”

Cao Yue leaned on the head of the bed, touched the soup woman under the brocade quilt and smiled: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." This is the benefit of status and power. ”

Therefore, as a woman, it is no wonder that she can only climb up by serving the holy driver.

It's a pity that the timing of her rebirth is not right, if she was born in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, she may not be able to become a generation of empresses like Wu Zetian, but if you copy the road that Empress Lu has walked, you may still be able to do it.

Cao Yue felt a little regretful, and then cheered up again, after all, it is lucky to be able to come back to life, and people must learn to be content.

After a while, An Ping came in with the brown sugar ginger water he had cooked himself, and fed Cao Yue spoonful by spoonful, so that he was less worried about Cao Yue.

Cao Yue pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, and instructed An Ning: "Go to the bathroom and pack up the clothes that I just left behind." ”

That belly pocket was deliberately dropped by An Ning when she came out, as for what the emperor's reaction was when he went in, she didn't know, but she thought it would not be small.

In her previous life, she served Liu Bang for many years, and she could feel it when she closed her eyes when she was emotional, and the emperor's tight body and red eyes at that moment were enough to explain everything.

An Ning hurriedly responded, lowered her head and hurried to clean up the clothes in the bathroom.

An Ping put the bowl on the small table, took Cao Yue's dirty handkerchief, pursed his lips and said, "Girl, the emperor is not staying here today, if he goes back to the East Courtyard to spoil others, won't it slap you in the face?" ”

There will never be fewer women around the emperor, Liu Bang spoiled her like that back then, wouldn't he still spoil others?

So Cao Yue doesn't care about this at all, but she still cares about her face.

"What does the emperor want to do, who to pamper, it's not for me to put my beak, as for which palace maid the emperor really favored, that's her creation, as long as things can't be passed on, it's good if I don't lose face."

Cao Yue straightened a strand of green silk on her chest, and her expression was faint: "You tell people to pay more attention, there are some things that you don't need to care about, but you can't be ignorant." ”

The art of war is cloudy, and only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one win a hundred battles.

——————

Kangxi returned to the East Courtyard, and the biting cold wind along the way did not reduce Kangxi's desire in the slightest, so as soon as he came back, he picked up the herbal tea on the table.

Liang Jiugong looked frightened: "Your Majesty, drinking herbal tea in the winter hurts your body, is it okay for the slave to change the hot tea for you?" ”

Kangxi ignored him, and drank the herbal tea, and the brown water droplets hung on Kangxi's lips, refracting a faint light under the light of the candle flame.

In this situation, Liang Jiugong no longer knows the reason that he is blind.

Also, the emperor went to Xiyuan with great interest today, thinking that he could hug the beauty, but who knew that he was about to kick the door, but Zhao Concubine Niangniang suddenly came to that matter, and the emperor couldn't send out an evil fire in his body, so he could only drink herbal tea to reduce the fire.

Thinking of this, Liang Jiugong cautiously probed: "Your Majesty, do you want a servant to call a palace daughter to come in and serve?" ”

Although the emperor did not bring any concubines on this trip, there were still a few palace maids who were nameless and indistinguishable, not to mention those women who were offered by officials from all over the country on the way out of the tour, and were only favored by the emperor once and left behind.

In the past, when Liang Jiugong proposed this, Kangxi would almost nod his head and agree, after all, he was the emperor, and there was no reason to wronged himself on a woman.

But I don't know what's going on today, the first thing that comes to Kangxi's mind is not how to vent his desires, but thinking that if Zhao Concubine knows about this, Zhao Concubine will probably be unhappy.

When he realized his thoughts, Kangxi's face suddenly became gloomy, his right hand was clenched into a fist, he always felt that he was a little different from himself tonight, when did he consider the feelings of others when he was pampering?

Zhao Concubine......

Kangxi closed his eyes: "Call in." ”

"Huh."

Liang Jiugong answered and was about to pick someone, but before the person stepped over the threshold, the emperor stopped him violently and added an order: "Don't spread this matter, especially not let Concubine Zhao know." ”

When Liang Jiugong heard this, his eyes widened, but he didn't say anything, and went on an errand honestly.

However, this place is the Cao family, even if the people who serve in the east courtyard are all people from the palace, the daily kitchen purchase must be done by the Cao family's subordinates, and it is normal to listen to such an ear of gossip when supplying.

Therefore, Liang Jiugong tried his best to cover it up, and even chose an honest palace maid to serve him, but in the end, he still did not hide Cao Yue, who deliberately asked someone to listen to the news.

Cao Yue touched the embroidery on the stove cover, and her emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Get ready, and go to Beiyuan to say hello to my mother in a while." ”

Yesterday she received the holy decree, and because the emperor was there, even if she heard that her mother was sick, she couldn't spare time to greet her, and she couldn't miss it today.

An Ning hesitated slightly: "Girl, now that your identity is different, if you go to Beiyuan to ask the old lady again, I am afraid that you will be talked about." ”

With yesterday's holy decree, even if there is no canonization ceremony, Cao Yue is already a royal concubine and a master.

Since he is the master, where does he need the master to greet a slave?

was reminded by An Ningyi, Cao Yue remembered that there was indeed this in the rules that she had taught her grandmother a few days ago.

After being silent for a moment, Cao Yue did not insist on going to Beiyuan, but changed his words: "Then invite my mother over, it's cold, remember to ask Mama Hua to prepare a warm sedan chair." ”

An Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the slave will go to Beiyuan." ”

The old lady Sun listened to An Ning's intention, and she didn't even wait for the sedan chair to be prepared, so she couldn't wait to go out, but An Ning repeated Cao Yue's words to the side, so as to stop Sun's anxiety.

When he saw Cao Yue, it was already two quarters of an hour later, and Sun wanted to go up and hold Cao Yue's hand and ask for warmth as before, but at the moment when his feet were about to move, Sun suddenly thought of Cao Yue's current identity, and knelt down against Cao Yue's obstruction and saluted: "The old slave has seen Concubine Zhao." ”

An old slave, a concubine and a concubine, Cao Yue's heart was like a needle prick, densely filled with pain.

Even in her previous life, she saw her parents as a favorite concubine, and she didn't feel like this when she received the gift from her parents.

Cao Yue's nose was sore, tears fell down, she knelt in front of Sun, and cried and choked: "Mother, don't be like this, my daughter can't stand it." ”

Sun said stubbornly: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, this is what you deserve." ”

Seeing this, Mama Hua sighed secretly, turned around and waved away the maid who was waiting in the house, and asked someone to guard outside the door, so she stepped forward to persuade.

After another stick of incense, when the two stopped crying, Cao Yue remembered the purpose of inviting Sun's to come, she was busy up and down, left and right, and looked at Sun several times inside and out: "Daughter heard that her mother is sick, have you seen the doctor?" ”

Sun's heart was particularly comforting, and patted Cao Yue's hand: "Yue'er, don't worry, my mother is fine." ”

Yesterday's physical discomfort was just an excuse for the emperor to see, and an excuse not to see Cao Yin.

Cao Yue was skeptical: "Really? You are not allowed to fool your daughter. ”

"Of course it's true." Sun glanced at Cao Yue and changed the topic: "Okay, don't just care about your mother, your mother has something to ask you." ”

After a pause, Sun looked around cautiously, lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't the emperor stay yesterday?" ”

It is a foregone conclusion that her daughter will become a concubine, and the Sun family can't change it, so she can only choose to accept it, and help her daughter win the Sacred Heart as much as she can.

Talking about this kind of thing with her mother, Cao Yue was embarrassed after all, she pursed her lips and whispered: "My daughter's little day is coming, so ......"

When Sun heard this, doubts appeared in his eyes: "I remember that your little day is not these days, how can it be so coincidental?" ”

Facing Sun's gaze, Cao Yue lowered his head weakly: "It's my daughter who used medicine......"

Sun immediately couldn't hold back, and patted Cao Yue on the shoulder with one hand: "You foolish thing, don't you know that the woman's body is extraordinarily delicate?" How can that kind of tiger and wolf medicine be eaten at will? What will you do if you hurt your body and have a hard time conceiving? ”

If the concubine can't give birth, how difficult life in the harem will be, this is what she has seen with her own eyes.

The more Sun said, the more anxious she became, if it wasn't for the wrong time, she couldn't wait to find a doctor to see Cao Yue at this time.

Cao Yue couldn't refute it, and he couldn't bear to refute Sun's words, so he listened to Sun's preaching sincerely, until Sun said that he was tired, Cao Yue comforted Sun, saying that he knew it in his heart.

Sun didn't have until his daughter's idea was big, so he had to sigh and bypass the topic, and then talked to Cao Yue carefully about the pickled things in the palace and the temperament and taboos of several masters in the palace who wanted to flatter and please.

Among them are the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the affairs between the Tong Jia clan, the Hesheri clan, the Niu Hulu clan and other major families.

These things are particularly cumbersome, and by the time what Sun said came to an end, more than an hour had passed.

Sun took a sip of the flower tea handed over by Cao Yue, moistened his throat, and said sincerely: "Yue'er, you have to remember that in your mother's heart, the Cao family is important, and you are even more important, so when you enter the palace, you must protect yourself first, as for the rest, it is good to be able to give the Cao family icing on the cake, but if you can't, you don't have to force it." ”

Cao Yue's heart was very touched, and she looked at Sun firmly: "Mother rest assured, daughter knows it." ”
