Chapter 985 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (22)
We must find a solution.
Consort De's expression was rather unpleasant.
She never dreamed that her most effective tactic would be cut off like this.
She couldn't help but feel resentful that her grandfather had retired at the wrong time.
If the Imperial Kitchen were still in my grandfather's hands, things would be much easier to accomplish.
It's a real pity that my grandfather accidentally fell and injured himself. Now he has difficulty even standing up, let alone continuing to guard the imperial kitchen.
The person who has now risen to power must be the emperor's man.
She really wouldn't dare to do anything under the Emperor's nose.
Unless the people in the royal kitchen are willing to pledge allegiance to him.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
With this in mind, he reiterated, "You must find an honest and reliable person."
"The imperial kitchen must have our people."
"The servant understands."
Cuilan agreed.
……
Consort De's plan was soon discovered by Xiao Hu Zi.
Xiao Huzi knows, which is the same as Li Siqi knowing.
“Master, I never expected that besides Suo'etu, Consort De would be the first person to try to harm you.”
Little Pot laughed and said, "Should we teach her a lesson?"
"To let her know we're not to be trifled with."
"It's up to you."
Li Siqi responded lazily, "This woman is just bored and looking for trouble."
"Get her busy so she doesn't have time to think of ways to cause trouble for others."
"no problem."
Little Pot laughed and said, "It's easy to cause her some trouble."
"Ok!"
"Master, Daijia has come to see you."
The little pot disappeared after uttering those words.
As expected, An Xin walked in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Consort Dai Jia requests an audience."
"Invite her in!"
"Yes!"
After leaving with peace of mind, he quickly brought the person back in.
"This humble concubine greets Consort Liang."
Lady Daijia bowed respectfully, saying, "May Your Highness, Consort Liang, be blessed."
"Please get up!"
Li Siqi said softly, "I didn't expect you to come looking for me."
"Please sit down!"
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Dai Jia couldn't help but feel envious of the person in front of her.
In fact, she knew all along that the other party would definitely enter the harem as a concubine.
She never expected the other person to climb so fast.
She became one of the emperor's concubines before him.
She was still a dispensable concubine, while the other party had become a principal consort.
How could you not make her truly envious?
"You've come to see me, is there something you need?"
Li Siqi didn't waste any time with small talk and went straight to the point.
To be honest, the two of them didn't have much of a relationship.
In fact, it's not even as good as the spring orchids in Kangshou Palace.
"It was I who disturbed Your Majesty."
Lady Dai smiled shyly, "This concubine only wants to share her innermost thoughts with Your Majesty."
"If Your Majesty ever needs my assistance in anything in the future, please simply give the order."
"..."
Li Siqi immediately understood what the other party meant.
Take refuge?
No, you really don't need it!
He had no desire to deal with the women in the harem.
It sounds so fake to talk about sisters all the time.
After carefully examining her for a few moments, he said, "Consort Dai Jia should not run around during this time."
Let's stay here for a few months and relax.
You'll regret it if something unexpected happens.
"My lady..."
Dai Jia was a little confused when she heard Li Siqi's words.
I can't understand what the other person means.
"Didn't you have your pulse checked this month?"
Li Siqi frowned. "Did you not change your clothes last month or this month?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, you mean..."
Dai Jia finally understood what she meant.
Overwhelmed with excitement, she blurted out, "Your Majesty, can you tell?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch her stomach.
His face was full of anticipation and happiness.
"You're quite careless."
Li Siqi didn't want to cause trouble, so she said, "I'll go back now and find the imperial physician to take my pulse."
From now on, stay in Zhongcui Palace and don't wander around.
You should know that it's not easy to give birth in the imperial harem.
Go back and think about it carefully.
Regardless of what she was thinking.
He directly instructed the people around him, "Anran, take some men and send Consort Daijia back to Zhongcui Palace."
"Your Majesty, this concubine..."
"The baby in your belly is the most important thing."
Li Siqi didn't want to hear what she had to say and interrupted her directly, "Go back and rest quickly. The child is the most important thing."
"Your Highness, please!"
"Your Highness, this servant will escort you back."
An Ran and An Xin simultaneously helped each other to leave.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
Dai Jia suppressed her surprise.
At that moment, she really hoped that the other person hadn't made a mistake.
You should know that every night she would pray to all the gods and Buddhas to grant her a child.
He also hoped to get confirmation from the imperial physicians.
She then followed the help of the two palace maids, preparing to go back to find the imperial physician.
After she leaves.
Li Siqi couldn't help but shake her head.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Anle brought her a cup of milk tea.
This was a recipe she provided herself, which was then prepared in the Changchun Palace kitchen.
He took the milk tea, drank a sip, and then answered her question, "I'm afraid someone might have designs on Changchun Palace."
I do not like others moving in.
At least for now, I don't like it.
"Does Your Highness mean that Consort Dai Jia wants to move to our Changchun Palace?"
"What do you say?"
Li Siqi disagreed and instead asked, "Do you think she might be planning that?"
"Consort Dai Jia intends to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty."
Anning picked up the conversation, "Now that she's pregnant, she might really be thinking about that."
After all, she now resides in Zhongcui Palace, and Consort Rong is not an easy person to talk to.
The child she gives birth to will definitely be raised by Consort Rong.
Consort Rong has her own son, so she probably has no interest in raising someone else's child.
If she moves to our Changchun Palace, her child will be raised by the Empress.
She would naturally feel much more at ease.
"She should ask the Empress for her permission before she can come up with this idea."
Anle pursed her lips, her tone still somewhat displeased, "Our Empress is pregnant with the Prince, how can she have time to raise her child?"
Your Majesty, don't you agree?
"Ok!"
Li Siqi said calmly, "People will enter Changchun Palace sooner or later, but I still hope it will be a little later."
"I wish to enjoy a few more days of peace and quiet."
"If Her Majesty is unwilling, there's no point in her wishing."
An Ning said seriously, "Besides, Consort Rong might not be willing to release them."
After all, the child she gave birth to belonged to the prince of Zhongcui Palace.
"You all know what's going on."
Li Siqi put down her milk tea and instructed, "Pay close attention to the people in our Changchun Palace."
"Yes!"
The two responded in unison.
at this time.
The sound of the imperial carriage could be heard outside.
Li Siqi quickly got up and went out to greet the emperor.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
Emperor Kangxi strode over and said, "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
"My beloved concubine is flat."
Kangxi stepped forward to help her up, took her small hand, and led her into the hall. "What are you busy with, my dear consort?"
“Just now, Consort Dai Jia from Zhongcui Palace came over and chatted with me for a few minutes.”
Li Siqi explained with a smile, "If His Majesty had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, he would definitely have been able to see her."
"It's perfect that I've come now."
Emperor Kangxi chuckled and asked, "What, you have a good relationship with Lady Daijia?"
