Chapter 980 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (17)
Chapter 980 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (17)
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Consort Guo Luoluo smiled and turned her gaze toward the delivery room.
A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, "The Chengqian Palace is going to have a new prince."
Li Siqi replied, "Your Yikun Palace will also have a prince in the future."
"That is!"
Consort Guo Luoluo said with a smile, "Your Changchun Palace is the same."
The two chatted idly.
The other concubines either chatted with those around them or remained silent.
Emperor Kangxi, who was busy with state affairs, did not appear.
Everyone waited for most of the day.
Many people were shivering from the cold.
After all, even with charcoal burning, you can still feel the cold wind seeping into your body in this weather.
The concubines, especially the ones who were not favored, were all so cold that their faces turned blue.
They dared not leave prematurely.
Even the high-ranking concubines, dressed warmly, lost interest in conversation at this time.
"Little Pot, how much longer will Uya need?"
Li Siqi, growing impatient, said, "If we keep going like this, I'm afraid a whole bunch of concubines will collapse."
"almost."
Little Pot laughed and said, "Someone wants to mess with the Uya clan."
"Who?"
Li Siqi guessed, "Is Consort Tong someone from Hesheli's faction?"
"Heseri's people!"
The little pot responded, "The people of Hesheli want to kill both the unborn child and the mother."
However, there were people from Consort Tong and people from the Uya clan themselves.
"If both sides work together, they can ensure that Uya gives birth to her child."
"Song'etu is truly audacious, does he think the harem is his private garden?"
A cold glint flashed in Li Siqi's eyes. "Do whatever you want."
"Actually, what he fears is not the Uya clan."
Xiao Huzi explained, "It's because they're afraid that Consort Tong will raise the Fourth Prince."
After all, Consort Tong is the most likely candidate to become the new empress.
The new empress's adopted son is not much different from her legitimate son.
He naturally wouldn't allow it.
As for his actions of having people tamper with the distribution of grain at Changchun Palace...
This was merely to prevent the mistress from becoming a true favorite concubine and, after giving birth, threatening the crown prince's position.
"He must have something wrong with his brain."
Li Siqi responded coldly, "Since he likes cutting off other people's offspring so much, why don't we grant Hesheli's wish?"
This caused all the men of the Hesheli clan to become infertile.
We've done a good deed, haven't we?
"no problem."
Little Pot agreed, "Master, anyway, the men of Hesheli are all bad people."
By cutting off their reproductive capacity, we won't lose any merit.
"Ok!"
Li Siqi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is there any connection between Daijia's birth of the disabled seventh prince and Suo'etu?"
"Of course it does."
Xiao Huzi said, "The things that Suo'etu did were sent into the hands of the concubines in the harem."
The goal was to reduce the birth of princes.
He didn't want too many princes vying for the crown prince's position.
"Greed is never enough, a snake swallows an elephant."
A hint of disgust flashed in Li Siqi's eyes: "The Hesheli clan has already produced an empress and obtained the position of crown prince. Instead of thinking about properly educating the crown prince to become a wise ruler."
They spend all their time plotting against people using such insidious methods.
Little Pot, keep a closer eye on Hesheli.
If they dare to harm people, you should retaliate.
I'd like to see how long Heseri can keep this up.
"no problem."
The master and the spirit chatted idly to pass the time.
It was almost evening.
Emperor Kangxi, who had disappeared for a day, also rushed over.
Upon seeing this, the concubines quickly bowed.
When Emperor Kangxi saw the concubines who did not look well, he couldn't help but frown.
He asked, "How is it now?"
"Your Majesty, the child has not yet been born."
Consort Tong forced a smile, "The midwife just came out and said it'll be soon."
Sure enough, no sooner had she finished speaking than...
A scream came from the delivery room.
The concubines who had not yet given birth were terrified.
Kangxi's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
I was just thinking of sending the person away.
The sound of a baby crying could be heard coming from the delivery room.
His eyes immediately lit up with joy.
after a little while.
The midwife came out carrying the baby to announce the good news, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Consort Wuya has given birth to a little prince."
The concubines quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
"Good, good, good!"
Emperor Kangxi exclaimed his approval and happily ordered, "Everyone, rise!"
All the palace servants in Chengqian Palace were given a month's salary as a reward.
Consort Wuya was bestowed the title of Virtue.
He now has very few sons, but he still genuinely loves his newborn son.
However, the concubines, who had been sitting for almost a day, could not smile. No one expected that the emperor would bestow such a fine title upon Wuya.
At this moment, it's impossible for anyone not to feel jealous.
"emperor."
Li Siqi was prepared for this, so she wasn't surprised.
Having no interest in staying there and freezing any longer, she rose and curtsied, saying, "If there's nothing else, this concubine will not disturb Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine any longer."
"Everyone go back!"
Kangxi looked at the exhausted concubines and said, "All of you should rest well."
"Thank you for your hard work, sisters."
Consort Tong saw the concubines as wilted, dry cabbages.
None of them dared to approach the Emperor.
My mood was naturally extremely pleasant.
After watching them leave.
He quickly pulled his imperial cousin into the palace.
The fourth prince's third-day celebration was held in a grand manner.
Consort Tong hugged the Fourth Prince and laughed so hard her eyes disappeared.
Everyone knew that the Fourth Prince would definitely be raised by the Empress.
As a noblewoman of noble birth, she is truly not qualified to raise children.
Most importantly, according to the old rules, princes must leave their birth mothers and be raised by adoptive mothers.
It was destined that Consort Tong would become the adoptive mother of the Fourth Prince.
After the third bath.
It's not even been a month yet before Lunar New Year's Eve.
The entire harem was bustling with activity.
No palace banquet was held for the fourth prince's full moon celebration.
It was just the concubines who sent their congratulatory gifts.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor bestowed many gifts upon them.
The Emperor's meal with Consort Tong at Chengqian Palace was considered over.
After the New Year.
Emperor Kangxi was even busier as he began preparing to take over Taiwan.
There was no time left to enter the harem.
When Li Siqi saw him again...
I almost couldn't recognize him.
"I have seen your Majesty."
Seeing the tired-looking person, Li Siqi couldn't help but frown. "Why is Your Majesty so tired?"
Didn't the imperial physicians let the Emperor rest properly?
"Of course!"
Kangxi reached out and pulled her to his side, saying, "I have too many things to deal with."
I will take a good rest after I finish what I'm doing.
Spend more time with your beloved concubine.
"Your Majesty should take care of your health."
Li Siqi sat down next to him. "If you ruin your health, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will worry again."
"Don't worry, I know."
Kangxi patted her hand and smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from her.
I suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but close my eyes.
"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for half an hour first?"
Li Siqi gently advised, "Your health is the most important thing."
"it is good."
Kangxi's voice was sleepy, "There's nothing urgent here, I'll rest for a while."
"Your Majesty, go to sleep."
Li Siqi said softly, "This concubine will stay by Your Majesty's side."
"Ok!"
Emperor Kangxi had no energy to say anything more and went straight to sleep.
Seeing this, Li Siqi asked someone to bring a needle and thread basket.
During this time, she was making underwear for Emperor Kangxi, and it was almost finished.
If I work hard today, I can finish making the top.
