Chapter 981 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (18)
So one person rested while the other made clothes.
It was quiet and peaceful, and no one dared to disturb it.
I do not know how long it has been.
After Kangxi regained consciousness...
Then I saw someone diligently sewing clothes.
A smile crept into his eyes.
He could faintly smell her fragrance, and his headache made him feel much better.
My mood improved considerably.
Emperor Kangxi asked with a smile, "Is my beloved concubine sewing clothes for me?"
"Yes!"
Li Siqi nodded with a smile, "His Majesty often comes over to stay overnight, so he needs to change his clothes."
"This concubine doesn't have many skills, but I can manage to sew a couple of undergarments."
"I think you've done a good job."
Many concubines made clothes for him, but he never paid them any attention.
For some reason, seeing the person in front of me sewing clothes for me made me feel very happy.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Li Siqi smiled and glanced at the sky outside. "Your Majesty, it's getting late."
"Will Your Majesty stay or return to your duties?"
"I'll stay with you."
Emperor Kangxi was in a good mood. After being busy for a while, he wanted to relax.
At Changchun Palace, he could feel a lightness that emanated from his very bones.
This was a feeling he couldn't get from the other concubines.
Whenever he felt tired, the first thing he thought of was Changchun Palace.
"If His Majesty intends to stay, then let's serve the meal."
"Pass it on!"
……
After dinner.
The two strolled around the courtyard.
Seeing the blooming flowers before him, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but exclaim, "My beloved concubine is truly skilled at growing flowers."
It's only springtime, yet so many flowers are already in bloom.
That's truly remarkable.
"Your Majesty, these flowers naturally bloom in spring."
Li Siqi smiled and replied, "I just made them look a little better."
Anyone who enjoys tending to flowers and plants can do this.
"No, the flowers you grow are different."
Emperor Kangxi held her hand and gently shook his head, "I can feel that the flowers and plants you have grown are very lush."
It can be described as vibrant and full of life.
Even if other flowers and plants are well cared for, they always seem to be missing something.
"His Majesty is simply extending his affection to the house because of its owner."
Li Siqi responded gently, "However, I am also very happy to have the Emperor's favor."
"You are good."
Kangxi said something, then sighed softly, as if he had thought of something, "If only they were all as sensible as my beloved concubine."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Li Siqi asked, puzzled, "What's bothering you now?"
"Noble Person De!"
Kangxi frowned. "She always wanted to see Yinzhen and often shed tears."
I cannot allow her to raise the child on her own.
The Imperial Concubine was unwilling to let her visit Yinzhen.
"I have a headache!"
"Oh, so that's what it was about."
Li Siqi responded calmly, "It is indeed a bit difficult."
Unless the emperor abolishes the rules established by our ancestors.
Otherwise, the Fourth Prince would definitely have been raised by Consort Tong.
Besides, Consort De is not a principal consort and cannot raise children.
By the way, Your Majesty.
Does this mean that traditional customs forbid birth mothers from visiting their children?
"That's not true."
Kangxi shook his head. "The Consort is quite selfish. She doesn't want Consort De to interfere in Yinzhen's affairs."
"After all, she is the child's birth mother. It's indeed not appropriate for the Imperial Concubine to act this way, however..."
Li Siqi glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Consort De privately discussed with the Imperial Concubine about giving the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Concubine."
From now on, the Fourth Prince will be the son of the Imperial Concubine.
Consort De will not compete with the Imperial Concubine for this son.
"What did you say?"
Emperor Kangxi was stunned.
He looked incredulous.
If I didn't know she wouldn't talk nonsense, I would have thought I misheard.
"Even the Emperor doesn't know?"
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "I thought His Majesty knew about this."
"I don't know!"
"Wasn't it the Imperial Concubine who suggested the rank of Consort De to the Emperor?"
"That's right, it was indeed the Imperial Concubine who suggested it."
Kangxi's expression turned somewhat grim, and he was beginning to believe the story.
Originally, he only wanted to give Wuya a title of Lady or a concubine.
Consort Tong, however, suggested giving her the rank of Noble Lady.
To save face for his cousin, he agreed to her suggestion.
I never expected it to turn out like this.
"Consort De has already made her choice, so why should she act like the Imperial Concubine is trying to steal her son?"
Li Siqi bluntly stated, "She used her son to gain rank, so it's normal for the Imperial Concubine to prevent her from visiting the Fourth Prince."
The Emperor has no need to blame the Imperial Concubine.
"I was unaware of this matter."
"I learned of this by accident."
"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you."
Emperor Kangxi sighed, "It seems that the only option is to move Consort De out of Chengqian Palace."
If the birth mother and adoptive mother live together.
Once the fourth child grows up and understands things, he will definitely be caught in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Imperial Concubine will take good care of the Fourth Prince!"
"I know!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset."
Li Siqi casually picked a peony and handed it to him, saying, "Just respect their wishes."
Besides, with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor keeping an eye on the inner palace, nothing bad is likely to happen.
"You!"
Emperor Kangxi was both amused and exasperated, and accepted the flowers before him.
He placed the flower directly in her hair, saying, "Such a beautiful flower is quite suitable for my beloved concubine."
"From now on, Your Majesty is not allowed to dislike your concubines!"
"Certainly not."
……
The two chatted idly, and Kangxi quickly regained his composure.
That night, Kangxi was extremely fierce.
It seems that all the energy he's been saving up lately has been put into her.
This ordeal lasted all night.
In the end, Li Siqi was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.
It's as if Emperor Kangxi ate some kind of magic pill.
Go to court in high spirits.
However, he only stayed one night at Changchun Palace and was too busy to go into the inner palace.
at this time.
Finally, news arrived that Consort Guo Luoluo was pregnant.
Needless to say, the baby in her belly is the Fifth Prince.
The Guoluo clan is no small family; they can definitely ensure that Consort Guoluo can safely give birth to her child.
She's about to be promoted to the rank of concubine.
As for Consort De, she has already been arranged to live in Yonghe Palace.
"Little Pot, how did the former Noble Lady De get the opportunity to be appointed as a concubine on her own?"
"Master, it's very simple."
Xiao Huzi explained to her, "She will soon have a sixth prince."
Having already given birth to a healthy son, and now pregnant again, Emperor Kangxi naturally wouldn't mistreat her.
Moreover, Consort Tong also felt that she had stolen someone else's son.
There was no choking on her position.
But this time it's probably going to be tough.
Kangxi now hates her scheming.
It can be said that he paid little attention to Consort De.
She was preparing to use a secret medicine to give birth to a son.
Because she took medicine indiscriminately, the Sixth Prince became weak. When he was six years old, Suo'etu found an opportunity to throw him into the pool.
This could lead to an accident and immediate death.
This is also the biggest reason why Emperor Kangxi always favored her.
"That's just one reason."
Li Siqi glanced at it and said, "Don't you think about where her grandfather works?"
