PFC Chapter 1042 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (79)
Chapter 1042 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (79)
"In your beloved concubine's heart, am I no longer important?"
"Of course they're important, but not as important as Xiao Ba and Xiao Shiyi."
"you……"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry he almost fainted.
But the person in front of me had a self-righteous and self-assured look on their face.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Li Siqi offered a half-hearted consolation, "I was just telling the truth."
"My beloved concubine, you really have no desire to make me happy."
Emperor Kangxi was both angry and amused, and his tone was filled with deep helplessness: "Only my beloved concubine in the entire harem dares to treat me like this."
"Your Majesty, I am an honest person."
Li Siqi responded softly, "Your Majesty, I do not wish to deceive you."
"You!"
Kangxi looked helpless.
He knew that the person in front of him truly never lied.
Say whatever comes to mind.
Happiness is happiness, and unhappiness is unhappiness.
When they get angry, they dare to go against their own nature.
Among the concubines in the harem, none dared to be as honest with her.
"Does Your Majesty wish for me to change my personality?"
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "I am also an old woman."
I'm afraid I can't agree to His Majesty's request.
"I don't need you to change."
Emperor Kangxi smiled wryly, "If my beloved concubine changes her temperament, I will find it difficult to get used to it."
"That's good."
Li Siqi nodded, "Even I cannot do that."
"Although I do not wish for my beloved concubine to change her temperament."
Kangxi looked at her with a deep gaze, "But my beloved concubine, could you give me some face?"
"Only you never give me any face."
"Does Your Majesty mean that I should coax you?"
Li Siqi refused without hesitation, "No, Your Majesty wants to coax me."
Besides, there are too many women in the harem who are willing to flatter the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I wish to become one of your concubines whom you may please."
"Listen to yourself, listen to what you're saying."
Emperor Kangxi was so angry he almost laughed.
Pointing at her, he said with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Consort Liang, you are simply audacious."
"Are you so sure you can't do anything to me?"
"No, I was just telling the truth."
"You're deliberately trying to anger me."
"No, Your Majesty, I am perfectly fine. Why would I upset you?"
……
After the palace selection was completed.
Emperor Kangxi, that old fool, even selected four Han women to enter the palace.
It has to be said that this old lecher is truly incorrigible.
No matter how old they are, new women still need to enter the palace.
Next came the bestowal of a marriage.
"...The eldest daughter of Guarjia Qitai, Commander of the Nine Gates Infantry, is betrothed to the eleventh prince, Yinzhi, as his primary consort..."
"...The eldest daughter of Grand Tutor and Grand Secretary Fucha Maqi, was betrothed to the Twelfth Prince Yintao as his primary consort..."
"...The eldest daughter of Zhaojia Marhan, the Minister of Personnel, is betrothed to the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang as his primary consort..."
The three imperial edicts announcing the arranged marriages were issued.
Both Consort Min and Consort Ding were very satisfied.
As for Li Siqi, she wasn't disappointed; Guarjia was someone Xiao Shiyi had chosen herself.
She appears to be a gentle person, but in reality, she has a rather assertive personality.
It's not that she's overtly assertive, but rather that she adheres to her principles and opinions.
Fortunately, she wasn't unruly, otherwise she would have been another Guo Luoluo.
The following days.
The entire Imperial Household Department and Changchun Palace began to bustle with activity.
Yinzhi's wedding was scheduled for the end of the year.
The weddings of the other two princes will be held in the first half of next spring.
The Imperial Household Department was busy organizing the weddings of three princes in succession, meaning they wouldn't be able to rest for a whole year.
Of course, I've already arranged weddings for so many princes.
This was a familiar task for the people in the Imperial Household Department, and everything was prepared quite well.
Li Siqi went to the Imperial Household Department in person.
Seeing the things prepared by the Imperial Household Department, it was clear that they hadn't been perfunctory.
So when she sent the betrothal gifts, she added a lot of nice things.
Both the emperor and the empress dowager received gifts.
Although Yinzhi married as a prince, the dowry he prepared was no less than that of his elder brother.
At least the Guarjia clan was very satisfied with these betrothal gifts.
The Guarjia clan did not keep these betrothal gifts; instead, they added many more.
It was crammed into the 120-bearer dowry, which was considered quite impressive among the dowries of princes' wives.
However, neither Li Siqi nor Xiao Shiyi cared about the dowry of the Guarjia clan.
With his wealth, Xiao Shiyi had enough to support his Prince's mansion.
He also didn't need to keep an eye on his wife's dowry.
As for what other people think, that's their business.
He remarried.
Li Siqi still did not arrive at the scene.
The next day.
The four members of Yinzhi's family entered the palace early.
Li Siqi ignored the two adults when she saw her two grandchildren.
"Grandma, Hongyan will take care of his younger brother."
Social butterfly Hongyan began to report his achievements: "When my younger brother wakes up, it's always Hongyan who plays with him."
"Are you sure Hongzhang can play with you?"
Li Siqi was amused by the little guy.
Holding the baby, I chatted with the little one.
"sure."
Hongyan replied earnestly, "Grandma, I will read poems to my younger brother."
"Oh, our little Hongyan can recite poetry now?"
Li Siqi asked with a smile, "What a smart and good child."
How about Hongyan recites more poems for his younger brother from now on?
"So that when my younger brother grows up, he will be as capable as Hongyan."
Hongyan nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Grandma, Hongyan will definitely recite more poems for his younger brother."
"Our darling Hongyan is amazing."
Li Siqi smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared, "Grandma must reward you properly."
"Grandma, this is what Hongyan should do, he doesn't need a reward!"
……
Grandparents and grandchildren chatted for a while.
Li Siqi then led them to Kangshou Palace to wait for the newlyweds.
Everyone enjoyed a lively time at Dakangshou Palace for half a day.
They returned to Changchun Palace once again.
The rest of the group consisted of our own people, so we weren't so reserved.
Li Siqi simply sent her sisters-in-law to the side hall to chat and rest.
She continued to play with her two grandchildren.
Emperor Kangxi did not appear at this meal.
They were given the same imperial cuisine as before, which shows they were valued.
Li Siqi and her son were already used to it.
Guarjia was puzzled and didn't take it seriously.
Li Siqi told her everything that needed to be taught and instructed.
Whether Guarjia can grasp the meaning behind it depends on herself.
When they left the palace, they all took with them generous rewards.
Li Siqi, who is never short of things, is never stingy.
They were very generous with what they were supposed to give.
Shushu Jueluo has been married into the family for several years and has become accustomed to her mother-in-law's extravagant spending.
Guajia, who had just started learning, was very happy.
I finally felt relieved and had a very good impression of this mother-in-law.
He has married two daughters-in-law.
Li Siqi completely relaxed.
The task is at least halfway complete.
Next comes the New Year, Lunar New Year's Eve, the first month of the lunar calendar, and the Lantern Festival...
February arrived in the blink of an eye, and the Imperial Household Department was preparing for the wedding of the Twelfth Prince.
Then came the Thirteenth Prince.
After the wedding festivities subsided, summer arrived once again.
Emperor Kangxi was about to embark on another inspection tour beyond the Great Wall.
The princes who were getting married would definitely accompany the emperor.
Everyone's gotten used to it.
"Master, this time when we went beyond the Great Wall, it was Songgotu who was captured."
Little Pot reminded, "You should remind the two princes to be careful."
At least stay away from the Crown Prince.
