The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

It's not something he likes to eat.And Zixiu, there will be a large number of women to share Kangxi, how could he be happy?

He had no legitimate reason to be with Kangxi in the first place, and when there were more concubines, he had no reason even more.Although he knew that the three-year draft was a rule set by the first emperor, but Kangxi, did he not reject it at all?He had previously thought that he must trust Kangxi, but now, his idea has been shaken.

He suddenly thought of what his master said: "Zixiu, the emperor's family is the most ruthless, let alone you are a man, even if you are a woman, how can you be sure that you will be favored for the rest of your life?" Yes, the emperor's family is the most ruthless, How dare he expect Kangxi to always like him?

In the past two days, Zixiu reported to the imperial dining room for leave because he was unwell, so the emperor naturally didn't send it later.After two days in a row, he didn't eat Zixiu's late meal, or he didn't see Zixiu, so Kangxi was a little anxious.

Every time he arrived, he felt restless, and when he saw that he was sending things from afar, he felt even more depressed.He grabbed Cong Yuan and asked, "What's wrong with your master? Have you invited a medical officer?"

Cong Yuan said submissively: "Master said he was suffering here and couldn't lift his spirits, so he didn't invite a medical officer." He pointed to his heart, with a trace of confusion on his face.

Kangxi opened his mouth and waved him back.

Liang Jiugong took advantage of the opportunity and said, "According to my servant, Lin Yuchu is suffering from a heart disease. This heart disease still needs a heart medicine doctor. Isn't the emperor the best heart medicine?"

Kangxi glared at him, Liang Jiugong immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Kangxi said: "You are right, I know it is so, but how can I have the face to see him?"

He likes Zixiu, but now he has to admit a group of irrelevant women into the palace. It is he who makes Zixiu unhappy, and he destroys the love between them.But, he really can't help it. The one who asked him to choose his concubine is the Empress Dowager, the person he has always respected the most.

"Your Majesty, Lin Yuchu will understand your Majesty." Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi's face and said cautiously.

"So what if you understand? I have always hurt his heart, and the emperor's grandmother has already missed Zixiu, and I am afraid that she will be bad for Zixiu. So I have been holding back and dare not go to see him. I understand that I am very fond of Zixiu." The better, the more it will harm him." Kangxi rubbed the center of his brows, he had been fighting in his heart these days, and the feeling of wanting to see but not seeing made him extremely painful.

As an emperor, he doesn't even dare to see his beloved, what kind of emperor is he?He felt a sense of powerlessness, and hated the imperial grandmother whom he had always respected.

On the night of the third day, Zixiu reappeared in Qianqing Palace, Kangxi's face flashed a gleam of joy, but he was quickly hidden again.Liang Jiugong retreated knowingly, leaving space for the two of them.

"Your Majesty, let's take a rest first." Zixiu's expression was the same as usual, but Kangxi just felt that something was missing, and his heart ached, did Zixiu not care?

Zixiu picked out all the vegetables, Kangxi just looked at him, like a dried up fish, swimming in the water greedily.

"Zixiu, don't do this." After a long time, Kangxi finally spoke.

Zixiu asked in astonishment, "What if I don't want it?"

Kangxi hugged his waist, buried his face in his chest, and said sullenly: "Don't be so indifferent to me, I know I shouldn't be drafted, I know I made you sad, but... I really can't help it, I You can't go against the emperor's grandmother's wishes."

Zixiu let him hold him. This person looks like a child at this moment.He patted Kangxi's back once and for all, smiling faintly.

"I know, I didn't blame you. Master told me that the royal family is the most ruthless... But, I still want to believe in you, Your Majesty, don't be sad. As long as you still like me for a day, I won't leave you."

"Really? Then I will never let you leave for the rest of my life." Kangxi raised his head and smiled, diluting the sadness in the room.

In the emperor's draft, the biggest reaction was not only Kangxi and Zixiu, but also the concubines in the harem. It was especially serious for Concubine Hui who had just lost her child. Her condition, which had improved, began to become serious again.

She knew that compared with other concubines, the emperor still had some sympathy for her, but she didn't know how long this sympathy would last, whether it was a day, a month or a year.

If Cheng Qing was still there, she wouldn't be so terrified, after all, she still had an idea, and now that Cheng Qing was gone, she actually started to fear the future.

Compared to her uneasiness, Xueshan was much calmer. It wasn't that she didn't care about Kangxi's draft, but that her status didn't allow her to make any trouble.No matter how many concubines there are, there is only one queen. As long as she does not make trouble, the harem will be her world.

As July approached, all the beautiful girls from various states and counties had gathered in the capital, and there were nearly a thousand of them in total, but in the end, only a few dozen were lucky enough to be left behind, and some of these dozens of people would be given to princes and nobles. There are only a few people who stay in the palace, and even fewer who can be favored by the emperor.Even so, the show girls are still flocking to it, and they want to come here even if they sharpen their heads.

In the first round, only the queen and the old mothers and eunuchs in the palace screened out those who were not good enough in appearance and stature. In this way, hundreds of people were screened out.The rest of the show girls will be ranked according to the order of the Eight Banners, and will be taken to be seen by the emperor, empress and empress dowager.

In the first few days, Kangxi refused to choose girls because he was busy with government affairs. Although the empress dowager knew the whole story, she didn't say much. After all, it didn't matter if the emperor came or not.The queen and the empress dowager screened all the beautiful girls one by one, and finally only 100 people remained.

During this period of time, Kangxi's anxiety became more and more serious. Every time he saw Zixiu, he would calm down for a while. This helpless life made him mature rapidly, and the smile on his face became less.In order to prevent the empress dowager from noticing Zixiu, he occasionally went to the concubine's place at night, but every time he did nothing, he and the concubine just lay down on their own.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with his behavior of going to the harem again, and temporarily suppressed her original idea of ​​dealing with Zixiu. From this point of view, it must be said that Kangxi was very foresighted.

"Master, are you unhappy?" Cong Yuan asked while lying on the bed, looking at the roof.

Zixiu said, "Why am I not happy?"

Cong Yuan sighed, and sat up suddenly: "Oh, don't lie to me, I also felt the same way when I knew Xuan Gui was so bad, my heart was empty and sad, listless all day long, I didn't want to do anything. But Then I figured it out, there are many good girls in the world, and she is not the only one." He blinked at Zixiu, pretending to be old-fashioned, and Zixiu was suddenly amused by him.

"Master, don't laugh, I'm serious, the emperor doesn't like you and there are still so many girls around, no matter how bad you are, there are still Brother Rong Ruo, why are you doing this?"

Zixiu blushed, how did this kid know these things?He glared at Cong Yuan, but it had no deterrent effect. Instead, he looked a bit coquettish. Cong Yuan froze there for a long time, closing his wide mouth.

He stammered: "Master...Master, you are so...I kind of understand why both the Emperor and Brother Rong Ruo like you."

Zixiu finally got angry. Does this kid know what he is talking about?He slapped Cong Yuan on the head, but didn't use much force, Cong Yuan fell on the bed and began to howl, making Zi Xiu Qi either laugh or not.

But being disturbed by Cong Yuan, his mood improved a lot.It's not because Ru Congyuanruo said that he wants to find another one, but because he thinks that Kangxi only loves him, no matter how many women there are, he will still love him; if he doesn't love him, even if there is no woman, he will not love him.

He believes that the only ones who hinder them are themselves, even if they can't be together forever, as long as they love each other, then everything will be fine.

He suddenly discovered that he had never said that he loved Kangxi. Every time Kangxi said that he liked him and loved him, but because of his thin skin, he never said that to Kangxi himself.

On this day, it was time to decide where the show girls would stay. Those who remained would be given to the royal clan or the emperor himself.This round must be chosen by the emperor himself.

The Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Kangxi, but the little eunuch knelt at the gate of Qianqing Palace for an entire hour before Kangxi left. He didn't want to go, but there was no other way.

Seeing Kangxi walking in with a blank face, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family knew that the emperor would be difficult to invite, so they delayed the start for an hour. It seems that the Ai family really guessed right."

Kangxi said: "It's my grandson's fault. I shouldn't have kept the imperial grandmother waiting. It's just that I forgot the time when I got busy."

The Empress Dowager took him by the hand, let him sit next to her, and said, "How can the imperial grandmother not know about this? Alright, let's start now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a little eunuch named Xiu Nu came in from outside.The first show girl is petite and cute, with watery eyes that seem to be able to speak.

The Empress Dowager asked, "Your Majesty, how is this girl?"

Kangxi said casually: "It's okay."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "I'm staying." The woman was a little excited, and only when she heard the little eunuch calling the next person's name did she come to her senses, knelt down and retreated.

The next day, as soon as Xiu Nu came in, the maid next to the Empress Dowager whispered: "Lafayette, the refresher is here."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Kangxi without leaving any trace, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes." The maid stepped back respectfully.

At this moment, Kangxi still didn't know what he was about to face.
