[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 15: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy 15 (revised)
At noon, Sheng Huan woke up from a nap and was washing up when he saw Ting Xin walking in from outside.
Tingxin walked forward and took over the little palace maid's job, standing behind Sheng Huan and combing her hair.
The young palace maid was very tactful and bowed and left.
While combing her hair, Ting Xin leaned close to Sheng Huan and whispered, "Master, His Majesty has turned over the Queen's name card today."
While Tingxin was talking, her eyes were looking at Sheng Huan in the bronze mirror. She was a little worried that her master would be sad to hear this, after all, she was just named a concubine today, but Kangxi did not come and even turned over another woman's name.
For a woman who has expectations in her heart, this is nothing more than torture.
"understood."
Sheng Huan didn't care, her expression didn't change at all. Although Kangxi said he would come to see her today when he left yesterday, can you tell the emperor to change his mind? Obviously not.
What's more, now that she is pregnant, it is unlikely that Kangxi will stay overnight.
No matter how much Kangxi liked her, he was not deeply in love with her. As an emperor, how could he remain chaste for a woman? No one had ever taught him that an emperor should remain chaste, not to mention that there was the huge mountain of the Empress Dowager watching over him.
How could he allow Kangxi to repeat the mistakes of his father Shunzhi?
Besides, no matter how much Emperor Shunzhi doted on Concubine Dong E, he still favored her in the harem.
Emperor, love and desire are not in conflict.
Ting Xin looked at Sheng Huan and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she was not forcing a smile.
The master is clear-headed, which is the greatest confidence for those who follow him.
After washing up, Sheng Huan planned to walk outside to the yard, take a stroll and look at the green plants.
Tingxin and Tingshui followed behind.
Sheng Huan smelled the fresh air outside, and she felt refreshed. As expected, she still liked to stay outside and breathe fresh air. After smelling it, she felt much more relaxed, which was more effective than a panacea.
Then, in the courtyard covered with cattail flowers, Sheng Huan learned from the message conveyed by the swaying of the cattail flowers that the person behind Nanny Li was Wuya Qingdai.
This name is not unfamiliar. She is the future Defei in the original owner's memory, and she is also the person who framed the original owner the most.
Sheng Huan narrowed his eyes slightly. This Wuya Qingdai, at such a young age, was so vicious and meticulous. She obviously regarded the original owner as a tool to climb the ladder to heaven. The most terrifying thing was that she was completely calculating towards her own child.
There is definitely something wrong with her.
With a "crack!", Sheng Huan, who was thinking, suddenly heard the sound of a whip.
Sure enough, after that, a eunuch’s shrill voice was heard singing: “Your Majesty has arrived!”
Sheng Huan was somewhat surprised that Kangxi had arrived now. He walked forward and bowed slightly before he could even salute, but Kangxi helped him up.
It seems no different from every time before.
"May you be safe, cousin." She also took Kangxi's hand and stood up, smiling coquettishly.
Kangxi's majestic expression also relaxed under her smile.
He held her hand and asked with concern: "Are you okay, cousin? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'm fine. And if you ask Doctor Wu to check my pulse every day, I'll be fine."
Her hand fell to her belly, and a warm smile softened her brows: "The baby is also good."
Her smile was very attractive. Every time Kangxi saw her smile, he would be easily infected and would unconsciously curl the corners of his lips.
"That's good. I have already told Wu Chen that my cousin's pregnancy will be left to him. My cousin has always been weak, so she needs to be well taken care of."
Kangxi was undoubtedly happy about Sheng Huan's pregnancy, but his cousin had always been in weak health. Although she had been recovering well in the palace for the past month, Kangxi still couldn't help but worry.
"Thank you, cousin. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
As they were talking, the two had already walked into the inner room. Knowing that the two were talking in a personal relationship, the palace attendant stopped outside the door with a discerning look.
"Don't worry, cousin, about Nanny Li's matter. There will be a result soon, and I will give you an explanation." As he said this, Kangxi looked a little gloomy.
The investigation has been almost complete now, but there are still many doubts. Kangxi wondered whether he was too young and too gentle, or was he too kind to his concubines, making them think that he would not take action?
Sheng Huan noticed the change in Kangxi's mood, but she didn't show it on her face. She gently held Kangxi's big hand and said, "Don't worry, cousin. I know you will do it no matter what."
"My cousin must have been very busy these days. Look at his eyes, they are a little dark. My cousin told me that I should take good care of myself. In my opinion, my cousin should take good care of himself. Your health is the most important thing..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and placed it under his eyes, with obvious heartache in her eyes.
The woman's fingertips were soft and warm. Kangxi froze for a moment. The part of his heart that had already collapsed collapsed again without him even realizing it.
He looked at her eyes filled with heartache, which only reflected himself and had nothing to do with status or power. He had only seen this feeling in his cousin over the years. At the same time, a sour and bitter feeling he had never experienced before passed through his heart.
[Our Xuanye is different from him.]
[You agree, right, Xuanye?]
But at this moment, the words of the Empress Dowager that day popped up in his mind from somewhere, and kept repeating in his mind, giving him a splitting headache.
[The Royal Madam is worrying too much. The Royal Father and I are naturally different.]
His answer from that day came to his mind, and Kangxi's heart sank, as if he was warning himself not to cross the line.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he turned his face away to avoid the woman's delicate fingertips. At the moment of dodging, his heart trembled for some reason.
This feeling was extremely strange, so strange that he ignored the slight pain.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he looked up again, the surging tenderness in his eyes had been completely wiped out, leaving only the usual indifference and... the arrogance of a king.
Kangxi's emotional changes naturally could not escape Sheng Huan, who had subtle and even superb perception. She felt a slight movement in her heart, but pretended not to know.
On her face, she seemed stunned by Kangxi's sudden avoidance. Then, she seemed to realize that she had overstepped the line.
He immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Cousin...Your Majesty, I am disrespectful."
This time, Kangxi rarely stopped her from kneeling.
He was sitting on the couch, and when he saw Sheng Huan kneeling down, he clenched his fists without knowing when.
He knew that his cousin must have been so frightened that she even changed the way she addressed him.
He restrained himself from helping her. What the Royal Madam said was right. Don't... make the same mistake again.
However, when he couldn't help but look at the woman kneeling on the ground, he found traces of water that had fallen on the ground at some point. He guessed something and his heart was shocked.
Cousin, she... was crying.
His cousin, the woman he doted on like a treasure, he wanted to give her the best of everything, but now, he actually made her cry.
Kangxi's heart seemed to be gripped by something, because he had been staring at her, and this time, he saw with his own eyes a teardrop falling silently from her face to the ground, and it seemed to fall into his heart as well.
He couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward to help her up: "Cousin, what are you doing? The ground is cold, get up quickly."
"Cousin...Your Majesty, it was my fault for being disrespectful and making you angry." She held back her tears and pretended to be calm, but her red eyes betrayed her.
When had he ever seen his cousin like this? Normally, even if his cousin cried, she would not show such sad and restrained emotions.
She never even looked up at him again. Although her eyes were still beautiful, and even clearer after being washed by tears, Kangxi felt that such a pair of sad eyes were not beautiful.
Sure enough, my cousin is most pleasant when she smiles.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the title of "Your Highness" was a bit harsh. Obviously everyone addressed him respectfully like that, but at this moment, Kangxi particularly didn't like his cousin calling him that.
Perhaps he was used to hearing his cousin calling him cousin, so he was not used to the sudden change of name.
Yes, that's it.
Kangxi did not investigate the matter in detail, as he always felt that if he did so, he would be doomed. He thought that he just didn't like it this way. His cousin was his mother's niece and the person closest to his mother. He naturally had feelings for his cousin. How could he bear to see her cry? Why should he speculate like this?
How could he become someone like the Emperor?
As if he had figured it out, Kangxi raised his hand, wiped the tears from the woman's face, and comforted her gently: "No, I'm not angry, I was distracted just now, cousin, it's my fault, I scared you."
"Don't be afraid, cousin. I am your cousin and always have been."
After hearing what he said, Sheng Huan finally looked up at him. She looked frightened just now, but after hearing his explanation, she immediately believed it and cried, "Cousin, it's my fault. I misunderstood your meaning and in the end I still let you comfort me."
Kangxi saw her trusting look as always, and heard her call him cousin. Somehow, the heaviness in his heart was relieved a lot: "It's not my cousin's fault. It's my fault. I scared you."
"No, no." She looked at the dark circles under his eyes, her eyes showing the same concern as always: "Cousin, remember to take good care of yourself and get more rest."
"Well, I will listen to my cousin."
Kangxi took the person into his arms.
Sheng Huan leaned his head against the man's chest, listening to his slightly disordered heartbeat.
She secretly thought that she had made the right move.
However, Kangxi would definitely fall into some entanglement in the future, and might avoid her for a while, but not for too long. No matter what the result of his entanglement was, she would develop everything in a direction that was beneficial to her, making him feel more guilty and distressed about her.
As the weight is added, her importance as a cousin in Kangxi's heart will only grow heavier!
