Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Early the next morning, the prince took the Guerjia family to the Ningshou Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. She was wearing a bright red flag dress embroidered with pomegranate flowers, her long hair was tied into two heads, and she wore a pair of red golden crowns. Fu Chang Mian Fengchai, also wearing a red gold bracelet with a bell on his wrist, the way he smiled before saying a word made people feel comfortable.Because Kangxi has not yet formally registered the Guerjia family as the crown princess, and the crown princess's golden book seal is still being cast, so the Guerjia family is only in name only, but this does not prevent the concubines from making good friends with her. .Except Concubine Hui.

Da Fujin is still in confinement, so the two sisters-in-law have not had the chance to meet. Concubine Hui looked at the ruddy Guerjia family, and at the Guerjia family who talked and laughed with others, and thought of the old days when Da Fujin It is also so decent in front of the concubines, I feel very uncomfortable.But fortunately, the Guarjia family did not go as they wished, there is still a little elder brother who has just landed in Yuqing Palace.Thinking of this, Concubine Hui always had a smile on her face.

An He glanced at it and felt that the smile on Concubine Hui's face was always full of ill intentions and gloating, but fortunately she didn't say anything unpleasant.

Mrs. Guerjia has an oval face, a pair of almond eyes are clear and energetic, and her facial features are correct. Although she is not as bright and charming as Mrs. Li Jia, she looks more majestic.An He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that whether it was Dafujin or the Dong E family and Ulanara family who had not yet entered the family, they all had similar looks. It seemed that Kangxi had certain standards for the appearance of his son's wife.

"Speaking of which, it's a pity that the eldest daughter-in-law has not been able to meet you during confinement, otherwise you will definitely be able to have a good talk." The empress dowager sighed.

What can I say?An He laughed a little in his heart. The eldest brother and the prince had already begun to sway. Mingzhu and Suo'etu each promoted the eldest brother and the prince. The court was a little unstable, and the neutral officials were waiting to see the joke. The elder brother is also becoming more and more dissatisfied. If it weren't for Kerkun's real hard work, his elder brother's father-in-law would have been accused of crimes and demoted.

"Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince has to take the Crown Princess to pay his respects to the Emperor. Why don't we let them go to the Qing Palace first, and it's not easy to keep the Emperor waiting." Concubine Tong quickly changed the subject with a smile.She has more and more the demeanor of Tong Guifei in the past, and her conversation and behavior are much more mature than her real age.

The empress dowager looked at her pocket watch and realized that it was time for Kangxi to go to court, so she hurriedly asked the crown prince to lead the Guerjia family out first, and the two of them would go to Fengxian Hall to offer incense to Empress Renxiao.

"The prince and the concubine are a perfect match. It really is a match made in heaven. The empress dowager is waiting to hold her great-grandson." Although the two protagonists are no longer in Ningshou Palace, the topic of the two has not stopped.Concubine Yi smiled and took a sip of tea, "Look at the style of the Crown Princess, she really comes from a famous family, it's different after all."

"Isn't it?" Concubine Rong also agreed with a smile, but she thought in her heart that since the Crown Princess has entered the palace, her Yinzhi should also marry.Thinking of the gentle and pure Dong E family, Concubine Rong wished that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would prepare the etiquette for the big wedding early so that she could drink daughter-in-law tea earlier.

"Looking at Concubine Hui's face today, I don't know what to say. After all, she is an old man who has lived in the palace for many years. I don't know what it means to not change her color before Mount Tai collapses. It seems that she has not had a good life recently. How is it?" An He said calmly when he came to Yongshou Palace to visit Concubine Wen, "It's a pity that you are not fully recovered, so you can't see it with your own eyes. What the imperial doctor said, I still look very bad when I look at you."

"It's the same as before. She's in good health, but she's listless and doesn't want to move." Concubine Wen took a sip of the honey water that moistened her throat, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Having said that, An He still felt that something was wrong. Although Concubine Wen seemed to have the motivation to survive, she still gave off a lifeless look. She stayed in Yongshou Palace all day and did not go out. The only activity was He sat in a daze on the corridor outside, even if she or Concubine Yi came to persuade him to go for a walk, he refused.Qing Yi secretly told An He that Concubine Wen often had nightmares, crying and calling out the name of her little elder brother in her dreams, and An He knew that Concubine Wen still couldn't let go.

"I saw that you have lost a lot of weight, and Qingyi said that you don't like to eat, so how can your body bear it?" An He said softly, "Today I made wolfberry japonica rice porridge and stewed ginseng Black-bone chicken soup, let someone bring some to you and the sixth princess later. Don’t say you don’t have an appetite, just eat some more or less.”

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't like to eat recently, so I'd better keep it for you to enjoy." Concubine Wen refused with a smile, "Don't worry, I will live well even for the sixth princess." .”

An He had no choice but to tell Qingyi to take good care of Concubine Wen, and then returned to Qixiang Palace with Amber and Tourmaline.

"Master has come back, just now the Crown Princess sent someone to bring something to the Master." Fei Qing greeted her with a smile, "The Crown Princess said thank you for the set of pearl and clam hair noodles that the Master gave me this morning, so let the red sleeves beside me I brought three bolts of Sichuan embroidery and three bolts of Suzhou embroidery, as well as pearls from the South China Sea and a box of gems. The servant girl checked them out, and found that they are all high-quality items, and those gemstones are the most suitable jewelry for the master."

Shi Wenbing worked in Yangzhou and Fuzhou successively, not to mention the human relations in the officialdom, even the shopping malls offered a lot of things.An He glanced at the box of gems, which was even better than the one he got during his southern tour with Kangxi, so he simply picked a few rubies the size of a thumbnail and sent them to make jewelry first, and make plans for the rest later. .

"I've been tired all day today, so I'll go to bed first." An He felt that he might be overworked during this time, and his body was beginning to feel overwhelmed. No matter how much he slept lately, he always looked like he couldn't get enough sleep, "Wait a minute I went to invite Doctor Wang to give me a diagnosis of Ping'an pulse, I always feel a little tired during this time, I don't know if I was tired a while ago?"

"Master, go to sleep for a while, and when master wakes up, I will send someone to the imperial physician." Jinxiu brought soothing tea, served An He and drank it all before saying, "Actually, master's complexion is not bad, it looks plump .”

An He touched his face. Recently, he really has a big appetite. He eats three meals a day plus snacks, so it's no wonder he isn't fat.

Physician Wang came to have a look and diagnosed that An He was not tired, but happy.An He was a little surprised, Yin'e's child was so old, she thought she would not get pregnant again, but suddenly told her that she was happy again, which made her a little bit overwhelmed for a while.Jinxiu and the others didn't think so, it was a great joy for their master to be pregnant!Cheerfully ordering people to bring ingot-soled shoes and asking Imperial Physician Wang to prescribe an anti-pregnancy prescription, Jinxiu led a group of people to kneel in front of An He to congratulate her.

An He raised his hand to touch his unconceived belly. According to Wang Taiyi's words, this child was conceived in September, and it is still early in the month, so An He must calm down and rest assured.It just so happened that the Crown Princess also had to learn to take care of the affairs of the harem, so she handed over the palace power without any hassle.

Not long after An He was diagnosed to be pregnant, Wang Changzai was also diagnosed to be one month pregnant.Wang Changzai can be said to be the most favored concubine in the palace in the past one or two years, even the De concubine back then can hardly match the limelight he is now.The little girl from the south was just when she was green and juicy, and she spoke with Wu Nong's whispering accent, which only made people feel numb in the heart.He knew a few lines of poetry, and he could still say a few lines when Kangxi's poetry flourished. If it weren't for his background, he might be promoted to a promotion point soon.

"Master, the imperial doctor said that the master should not worry about it now, why are you still reading the account book?" Feiqing walked over with the anti-fetal medicine in hand, "The master has just handed over the palace affairs, and the people below are not sensible. Come on, I'm using something to disturb the peace of the master again."

"It's not a big deal, I just flipped through it." An He said with a smile, "I heard that the little elder brother of Yuqing Palace is ill, what's going on?"

"It's not caused by Li Jiagege." Feiqing curled her lips, "Since the princess entered the palace, she has been deeply in love with the crown prince, and the prince has neglected the two princesses because of this. Little Li Jiashi is fine. It is not considered favored; the eldest Li Jiashi was not reconciled to his sudden fall from the favored position, and even hugged the little brother out with the idea of ​​asking the little brother to greet the princess. It is cold at night in late autumn, and the little brother My elder brother caught a cold because of this, Da Li Jia also ate melons, and was grounded by the crown prince."

"Didn't those nurses stop it?" The baby was fragile, and Li Jiashi's baby was not raised very well, and it was all caused by his own troubles.An He finished drinking the anti-fetal medicine, took a sour plum and put it in his mouth, "How does the princess do it?"

"The princess said that the most important thing is to take good care of the little elder brother first, so she didn't express any opinion on Li Jiagege's actions." Feiqing said, "Listening to the meaning of the prince, it seems that she wants to take the little elder brother to the prince. The concubine is raised by the crown princess."

The little elder brother is still young, so it's fine if he keeps him by his side, the key is whether the Guerjia family can raise a concubine's son without any grievances.An He lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Just keep watching. By the way, the emperor ordered Yinxuan and Yin'e to accompany Mulan Qiuxi, and the deerskin boots that I ordered Hu Po and the others to make before should come in handy. Tell Xiaoluzi to send it to the two of them."

Kangxi probably had a lot of free time in the capital, and now he organized the Eight Banners and a Mongolian prince to go hunting in the Mulan paddock.An He and Wang Changzai were pregnant and naturally they couldn't follow her. Concubine Liu Shu, who was still a little favored, was left out for some reason.

"Yes." Feiqing replied crisply.

The two children became more and more important to Kangxi, no matter whether this child is an elder brother or a princess, there is no guarantee that someone will stare at Qixiang Palace again.An He looked at the red gold ring inlaid with suet jade gourd on her finger. No matter what, she had to protect herself and her two children.
