PFC Chapter 991 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (28)
Chapter 991 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (28)
this day.
The Empress Dowager regained consciousness.
Seeing that it was Li Siqi attending to him, his expression became somewhat complicated.
"Consort Liang!"
"I am here!"
"You are a gift from me to the Emperor."
"Your Majesty's grace will be forever remembered!"
"Just remember."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I am no longer able to protect the Emperor."
Now I only have one thing on my mind.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask you again.
"Chen and concubine dare not!"
Li Siqi knelt before her and softly replied, "Empress Dowager, please give your orders!"
"The person I love most is the Emperor."
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "I know that His Majesty is very good. He has not let me down."
I am very pleased with this.
I can see clearly that you are a good child. You have taken good care of the Emperor these past few years.
Therefore, I have another favor to ask of you.
Li Siqi wished she could just disappear, but she had no choice but to reply, "Your Majesty, please issue the decree!"
"Good boy."
The Empress Dowager was even more pleased, "The Crown Prince and the Emperor are the same."
They were all children without a mother to protect them.
I hope that if the Emperor and the Crown Prince ever have any disputes in the future, you can advise the Emperor.
The crown prince is the foundation of the state and cannot be shaken.
"You must protect the Crown Prince; I hope you will complete this task for me."
"..."
Li Siqi wished she could turn around and leave immediately.
This task can still be completed by humans.
When Emperor Kangxi wanted to depose the crown prince, even if Empress Hesheli crawled out of the imperial tomb, she couldn't stop him.
Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for yourself?
"you are not willing?"
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager has misunderstood. It was I who dared not."
"This is my decree, what do you have to fear!"
"Yes!"
Li Siqi had no choice but to kowtow, saying, "Your Majesty, I obey the Empress Dowager's decree."
"it is good!"
The Empress Dowager smiled and praised, "Consort Liang, you are a good child."
No, I'm a bad kid!
Li Siqi really wanted to retort.
They talked for a while.
The Empress Dowager drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Li Siqi returned to Changchun Palace to rest.
Taking care of someone who is ill is not too tiring.
They were just tricked by the Empress Dowager.
I felt a little annoyed.
"Master, what's the point of agreeing?"
The little pot comforted, "When that day comes, the master can simply offer a few words of advice."
Whether or not Emperor Kangxi listens is his own business.
"Ok!"
Li Siqi said lazily, "Kangxi probably knows as well."
"of course I know."
Little Pot laughed and said, "In the harem, no one can hide anything from him that he wants to know."
Moreover, more than half of the people in Cining Palace were his people.
Finding out what the Empress Dowager said is too easy.
Li Siqi asked casually, "He didn't take his anger out on me, did he?"
"How can it be."
Little Pot chuckled, "On the contrary, he felt that his master was kind-hearted, even entrusting the Empress Dowager with all her worries."
This shows that the mistress was a concubine approved by the Empress Dowager.
"That's good."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "It would be bad if we didn't receive any benefits and instead incurred Kangxi's wrath."
"Don't worry, Master, that's not true."
"That's good!"
……
a few days later.
The Empress Dowager fell into a deep coma.
Emperor Kangxi was so anxious that he gave the imperial physicians a strict order to prolong the life of the Empress Dowager.
During her last moment of lucidity, the Empress Dowager advised Emperor Kangxi not to make things difficult for the imperial physicians.
It's time for her to leave.
She also stated that she did not want to be buried with Emperor Taizong of Qing, but wanted to stay with her son, Fulin.
After Kangxi agreed to her request.
He passed away that very night.
Emperor Kangxi lost his composure and wept bitterly.
All the concubines began preparing to keep vigil.
The female relatives of the ministers were also required to enter the palace to mourn.
This whole ordeal took almost a month.
Don't even mention the noblewomen who spend all their time going to the palace to mourn.
Even if the concubines in the harem didn't die, they were left with a lot of scars.
Only Li Siqi was barely passable.
Although she wasn't sick, she had lost a lot of weight.
Of course, this is also for show.
It's impossible for all the concubines to collapse from exhaustion while she remains radiant.
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
A few months later.
We're celebrating Xiao Ba's first birthday.
The day of the baby's first birthday celebration.
Changchun Palace was bustling with activity.
The eldest prince, the crown prince, the third prince, and all the other brothers have arrived.
Needless to say, this year's general election will be a time to choose consorts for the eldest prince, the crown prince, and the third prince.
Consort Hui and Consort Rong started shaking again.
However, not many people paid any attention to them.
People are still more interested in the baby's first birthday celebration.
Amidst everyone's anticipation.
Xiao Ba caught the book and the pen.
Li Siqi told him to make the arrest; he couldn't go too far and cause trouble.
Books and pens like these are unremarkable and won't attract much attention.
Everyone present was shrewd and could tell that Xiao Ba had been specially instructed to obtain these two items.
Although all sorts of nice words were said in a very pleasing way.
As for what everyone is really thinking, only they themselves know.
After the banquet.
Kangxi stayed behind.
"My beloved concubine, Xiao Ba is already two years old."
Holding her delicate little hand, he asked with a smile, "When does my beloved consort plan to give me another prince?"
"emperor."
Li Siqi stared at him speechlessly, "Both Consort Yi and Consort Wenxi are pregnant."
You soon had two more sons.
As for when I will have a child.
It all depends on fate.
"They are them, and my beloved concubine is my beloved concubine."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "I will love any number of children as adorable as Xiao Ba, no matter how many my beloved concubines give birth to."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Li Siqi touched her belly and said, "As long as I get pregnant, I will give birth to the child for Your Majesty."
"So, my beloved consort thinks I'm not trying hard enough?"
Emperor Kangxi chuckled softly, "It seems it really is my fault. Who told me not to let my beloved concubine get pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, have you no shame at all?"
Li Siqi reached out and poked his cheek. "You just like to bully me, don't you?"
"How is this bullying my beloved concubine?"
Emperor Kangxi smiled broadly, "I'm too busy spoiling you to even know what I'm doing."
Do you believe that?
"I believe you!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
The smile on Kangxi's face faded slightly. "Today I have something to say to my beloved consort. I hope that she will take over some of the palace affairs."
"This one……"
Li Siqi was surprised, "Why did Your Majesty think of letting me take over the palace affairs?"
"The Imperial Noble Consort's health is deteriorating and she is no longer able to manage palace affairs."
Kangxi's tone turned somber, "Consort Wenxi is pregnant, so she is not suitable either."
Now we can only select someone from among your concubines to manage palace affairs.
Especially this year is the general election.
It requires your joint efforts.
"I understand."
Li Siqi did not refuse, and then asked, "I wonder who Your Majesty intends for me to take over the palace affairs with?"
"Consort Hui and Consort Rong."
Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "You can manage it for now."
"After Consort Yi gives birth, she will manage palace affairs with you all."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered."
Li Siqi nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty's arrangements will be followed."
"Ok!"
Emperor Kangxi was extremely satisfied.
That night, another all-night battle ensued.
The next day, he went to the morning court in high spirits.
Li Siqi also took on the task of managing palace affairs.
