Chapter 986 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (23)
Chapter 986 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (23)
"Your Majesty has misunderstood."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "I can only exchange a few words with Consort Dai Jia."
Besides, I'm not one to enjoy crowds.
She came, so I just chatted with her for a bit!
"I understand."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and nodded, "My beloved concubine has always been quiet and loves flowers and plants."
I think it's quite good.
"I hope Your Majesty doesn't mind that I'm lonely."
"How could I possibly despise you?"
Kangxi took her hand and said with a smile, "You've been with me for two years now."
"When does my beloved concubine plan to give me a prince?"
"Your Majesty, having children should be a natural process."
Li Siqi smiled and touched her belly, "Maybe we'll meet again soon."
By the way, it seems that Consort Daijia is pregnant.
"Your Majesty, you are about to have another prince."
"really?"
Emperor Kangxi had indeed not yet received this message.
So, somewhat unexpectedly, "Daijia is pregnant too?"
"Yes."
Li Siqi nodded with a smile, "Consort De is also pregnant, and Consort Daijia is also pregnant."
The emperor's children will only increase.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Emperor Kangxi was delighted to hear this.
He couldn't help but pull the woman in front of him into his arms and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that they are pregnant."
But that’s it!
I still most look forward to my beloved concubine giving me a child.
Whether it's a prince or a princess, I like them both.
"Okay!"
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "I'm looking forward to that too."
"Good, good, good!"
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed.
I used to be so eager for a child that I was almost obsessed.
The children have been coming one after another these past few years.
He doesn't lack children anymore.
Of course, for him, the more children the better.
That night, he tormented Li Siqi to the point of ecstasy, making her feel like she was dying and being reborn.
The next day.
He still went to the morning court looking radiant.
Two more pregnant concubines were added to the palace.
This has made many people incredibly envious.
Only Li Siqi remained calm.
She knew that the eighth child would arrive in the second half of this year.
Next year is the year he was born, and also the year Emperor Kangxi bestowed titles upon his harem.
To increase her chances, Li Siqi decided to promote her father, Abu Nai, to a higher position.
My elder brother, Wei Jie, is now a second-class imperial bodyguard, holding the official rank of fourth grade.
As a member of the Wei family, she no longer belonged to the kind of family with shameful origins.
The following days.
The harem was peaceful.
However, the lives of Consort De and Noble Lady Dai were far from peaceful.
Fortunately, Consort Daijia also had people from the Imperial Household Department.
Although I contracted the virus, I managed to save my child.
Consort De, however, was listless and had nightmares every night before falling asleep.
All sorts of bizarre dreams will appear.
I woke up feeling not only listless but also with a headache.
Most importantly, she also contracted the virus.
Although she didn't miscarry, she knew that it wouldn't have been easy for this child to be born.
The days passed by.
Consort De did manage to give birth on the day she was due to give birth.
After struggling for most of the day, she gave birth to a weak child.
Consort De felt both distressed and helpless.
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and was able to accept her frail son more easily.
Most importantly, this son belongs only to her.
This time, no one tried to take her son away from her.
Three months later.
Consort Dai also gave birth to a son.
only……
This child is born disabled.
The imperial physicians were all helpless in treating his foot ailment.
Dai Jia held her son and silently shed tears.
She knew that her son's condition was related to her pregnancy.
He secretly wished he could devour the people behind the scenes.
Emperor Kangxi had two more sons.
But I wasn't very happy.
After all, neither of the two children is healthy.
It's still unknown whether they can be raised to adulthood.
Especially the Seventh Prince, Tiancan, was thought to be the result of his sins.
Therefore, he couldn't like either of the children.
Until the day of the full moon.
They named their two children Yinzuo and Yinyou.
but……
The character 祚 represents something extraordinary.
The *Book of Chen*, Biography of Prince Yin of Wuxing, states: "The imperial grandson was born, and the nation's fortunes were flourishing." Song Dynasty scholar Chen Liang's *Eulogy on Admonitions* says: "The nation's fortunes are like tassels; who will bear the responsibility?"
It can be said that this "祚" represents the emperor's throne.
Whether in the imperial court or the harem, this name has stirred up storms.
I heard that even the young Crown Prince smashed a lot of things when he found out that his half-brother used this character in his name.
The way everyone looked at Consort De was as if they wanted to devour her whole.
Some people had already sentenced the sixth prince, who was already in poor health after only a few months, to death.
As for Consort De, she was naturally both surprised and delighted.
She was alarmed, fearing that the name would bring a fatal blow to her son; she was also delighted, naturally happy that the emperor valued her son so much.
Changchun Palace.
"I don't know what they're thinking."
Emperor Kangxi was displeased with the recent commotion. "It's just one word."
I only wish that the frail sixth prince may have more blessings and good fortune.
I just hope that God will grant him good fortune and restore his health.
"His Majesty means well; some people are overthinking it."
Li Siqi wouldn't say much, "It's just a temporary frenzy."
Once everyone calms down, they will naturally understand the Emperor's true intentions.
Didn't the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager not seek out the Emperor?
It's clear that these elderly women were well-informed and knew that the Emperor acted with discretion.
"My beloved consort understands me best."
The thought of Consort De, who was always beaming with joy, made Emperor Kangxi feel even more displeased.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Yinzhuo's health can still be improved, but there's no way to treat Yinyou's foot."
It will affect my walking in the future.
"Your Majesty need not worry."
Li Siqi comforted him, saying, "It is said that 'misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.' Although the Seventh Prince has a foot ailment, perhaps God will compensate him in another way."
Even if God doesn't compensate him, isn't there still Your Majesty, the Emperor, as his father?
The Emperor can make it up to the child later.
"My beloved concubine is kind-hearted."
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle, "As expected of my Consort Liang."
"Your Majesty flatters me."
Li Siqi smiled and touched her belly. "Today, Your Majesty also has something to report to you."
"My beloved concubine, you mean..."
Looking at her smiling face and then at her little belly.
Emperor Kangxi's face lit up with surprise, and he blurted out, "How many months has it been?"
"Your Majesty, it has been more than a month."
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "It hasn't been three months yet, so I don't plan to announce it."
"I'm only speaking to Your Majesty."
"Good, good, good!"
Emperor Kangxi was so pleased that he clapped and cheered.
He had high hopes for the child.
I secretly hope to have another healthy little brother.
Thinking of this, he added, "Since my beloved concubine is already pregnant, I will send someone to take care of you."
You and the children must take good care of yourselves.
Li Siqi smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, I thank you."
"Are you still being polite to me?"
Kangxi was in a good mood and leaned against her, saying seriously, "I do not wish for any accidents to happen."
"I will protect you and the child."
"Very well, Your Majesty, I trust you."
"Ok!"
……
Two months later.
The news that Consort Liang was pregnant finally spread.
The concubines in the harem were both surprised and accepting of it.
After all, everyone knows that Consort Liang is favored by the emperor, so it's normal for her to get pregnant.
However, Consort De could not accept it.
He was filled with rage and his cold gaze swept over the head palace maid, Cuilan.
