[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

From that day on, Kangxi spent almost half of his time resting in Chengqian Palace, and the remaining half was mostly spent handling state affairs in Qianqing Palace, so that the time left for his concubines was pitifully sporadic.

The Empress Dowager could no longer sit still. She believed that there could no longer be people like Concubine Chen and Concubine Dong E in the harem.

One afternoon, she asked someone to invite Kangxi to the Cining Palace.

"Emperor, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

The Empress Dowager had a stern face at this time, and her solemn eyes carried an indescribable majesty.

Kangxi shook his head: "Is there anything the Royal Madam wants to tell me?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him for a long while and found that his expression was genuine, and he was even a little confused. He really didn't know why she called him over.

Her heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that his great favor to Tong Jia was nothing in his eyes?

She calmed down and put down the teacup in her hand: "Emperor, you have rarely visited other concubines' palaces recently. There is not a single pregnant concubine in the harem now. You can't keep staring at Tong Jia. Moreover, as an emperor, you should focus on expanding your family."

Kangxi paused when he heard this, his eyes deepened slightly, "Madam, in the past two years, Tong Jia has given birth to seven children for me, four of whom are princes. This is far more than before, not to mention that they are so healthy and lively. I don't need to worry now."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "But they are still too young now. No one knows if there will be any unexpected changes in the middle. It would be good for you to have more children."

Kangxi fell silent after hearing this.

The Empress Dowager did not seem to notice and continued, "The other concubines have been with you for many years and have experience. If you don't like them, I have a few good-looking palace maids here. You can take them back later."

"Royal Madam, I..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, the Empress Dowager's old and turbid eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a gleam of light that was so sharp and intimidating that no one could ignore.

"Emperor, do you think that Tong Jia's feelings for you are love for you?"

Kangxi was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Love? He seemed to have never thought deeply about it. He always subconsciously avoided that kind of feeling. He always felt that the word love was too heavy and would make people breathless.

But when he heard the Empress Dowager's words and thought of that pretty figure, his breath suddenly stopped.

He didn't speak.

Seeing his dazed look, the Empress Dowager thought he believed that Tong Jia loved him, and her heart skipped a beat, and then she laughed:

"Emperor, you are still too young after all. Do you think that Concubine Chen loves Emperor Taizong and Concubine Dong E loves Emperor Shizu?"

Her eyes became deep, and she said slowly and softly: "I don't think they love me. What they love is just the status of the emperor and the rights that the emperor gives them."

She shook her head, not even looking at Kangxi, and said, "Well, I won't say much. Go and figure it out yourself. I'm tired."

Kangxi stepped back, but for some reason, he felt a sense of distress in his heart.

Qing'er, do you love him? It was rare for Kangxi to think deeply about this question.

Then, I suddenly felt a little unconfident.

As for the rights mentioned by the Empress Dowager, Kangxi didn't take it to heart at all. After all, if you love someone, you should give her everything you can. Isn't this a matter of course?

Cining Palace

Su Malagu was massaging the Empress Dowager's shoulders. After Kangxi left, she whispered, "Master, are you sure that this will make His Majesty..."

"As long as there is a little estrangement, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will gradually drift apart, and..."

The Grand Empress Dowager paused, but a smile appeared in her eyes, and she was confident: "Do you think that after tasting the power, Tong Jia is willing to give up the power in the palace? She is now the Imperial Concubine. As long as she is a little persistent, she will show her weakness in front of the Emperor."

If there are problems in the relationship, she will no longer be the only one in charge of the harem.

The Empress Dowager was very sure.

……

Cheng Qiangong

Sheng Huan already knew everything. She sighed in her heart. As expected, even if the Queen fell, her biggest enemy in the harem was actually the Grand Empress Dowager.

It was Kangxi who fought hard for her to become the Imperial Noble Consort. Even so, it was already urgent, let alone if she took the next step.

Her identity as Kangxi's cousin meant that she would be feared even before she entered the palace.

After all, when she first entered the palace, she lived in Jingren Palace instead of Chengqian Palace, which proved everything.

Late that night, Sheng Huan fell ill.

Kangxi had been troubled for most of the night and had not slept. When he received the bad news, he rushed to Chengqian Palace overnight.

"Qing'er!"

When Kangxi saw the lifeless woman lying on the bed, even in a coma, his heart skipped a beat.

He stepped forward and held her hand, only to find that it was surprisingly hot.

"What's going on? How do you take care of the master?!"

Kangxi's face was frighteningly dark, and he exuded a cold aura, like an angry lion that would rush out of the cage in the next second.

All the palace maids were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Kangxi suppressed his anger and had no time to pay attention to them. His voice was piercingly cold: "Wu Chen, tell me, what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been ill from overwork. She caught a cold without paying attention. It was too late when we found out. She had already had a fever. If, if it doesn't go down by daybreak, I'm afraid..."

Wu Chen's back was already soaked with cold sweat, and his calves were a little out of control for some reason. He arched his waist more and uttered a few words: "It's... dangerous..."

Kangxi staggered when he heard that. He held Sheng Huan's hand, and the warm little hand seemed to have rolled in boiling water.

"Prescribe some medicine. I want her to be well. If anything happens to her, Kangxi's eyes will become terrifying. "You all will be buried with the Imperial Concubine!"

How could this happen? He had only been away for one night. How on earth had these people taken care of him that his Qing'er had such a serious fever? How could these people be so useless?

His eyes were deep, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Everyone present was trembling with fear.

Kangxi took the wet handkerchief handed over by Liang Jiugong and carefully placed it on the woman's forehead.

Looking at the abnormal blush on her face, I felt a pain somewhere in my heart.

The next morning, when Sheng Huan woke up, he found himself in Kangxi's arms.

Kangxi hadn't woken up yet and was sleeping very soundly. He must have been tired from staying up for too long last night.

Sheng Huan moved slightly, and put her cheek on the man's shoulder, slightly supporting herself, just looking at the man's face.

She raised her fingers and gently placed them on his face and eyelashes.

When Kangxi woke up, he was met with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Cousin..." She smiled softly, her eyes and eyebrows were very lively, and she seemed very happy about his existence.

Kangxi hugged her and rested his forehead against hers. After a while, he said, "Well, the fever is gone."

"Thank you for taking care of me last night, cousin..."

Maybe it was because of her illness, she was very clingy, her eyes were now like stars gathered together, glittering, a little bit of emotion was like ink spreading in her eyes, her voice was a little low, her eyes fell on his lips, and she was acting coquettishly:

"Cousin, I, I kind of want to kiss you..."

When Kangxi heard this, his deep black eyes darkened, and he twisted his fingertips lightly and said "hmm", agreeing to her request.

Her eyes lit up, but soon fell down again: "But I'm sick, if..."

"It's okay, Qing'er, I allow you to kiss me." The man spoke with seeming restraint.

She finally smiled when she heard that, and moved forward cautiously, sacredly and piously.

The moment the warm touch came upon him, Kangxi's body shook, and the thoughts that had been wavering and tangled in his mind for a long time suddenly collapsed.

How could his Qing'er not have him in her heart?

At this moment, Kangxi heard his heart beating rapidly in his chest.

"Bang bang bang!"

She quickly stepped back, as if embarrassed, and pursed her lips slightly.

Seeing the shy look of the girl, the man seemed to understand at this moment that, in fact, the word "love" was not as heavy as he thought, and it was even a little light, like a feather gently scratching the tip of his heart.

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Sheng Huan lay in the man's arms, enjoying their own world.

Kangxi twisted a strand of her hair and played with it: "Qing'er, you are the master, if you have anything to do, just tell the servants to do it, don't tire yourself out. Last night, Chengqian Palace came to report that you were sick, you know how scary it is."

Sheng Huan nuzzled him and said, "Cousin, Xiao Qi and the others are still young, and now is the time when they need me."

She paused, looked up at him and said, "Cousin, I want to spend more time with you and the children, but I have too many palace affairs to attend to. There are so many concubines in the palace now, why not..."

The young emperor may not pay attention to the way of balance now, but she cannot ignore that all power cannot be held in her hands.

Who knows that by that time there will be flowers in full bloom and oil boiling in a blazing fire.

Kangxi understood her words at once. Regarding Sheng Huan's refusal to seize power, Kangxi sighed and wondered why the Royal Mother felt that Qing'er loved power more than him.

In fact, Kangxi didn’t care about Sheng Huan’s love for power at all. If she wanted it, he would give it to her. Kangxi was very generous now.

The Empress Dowager may not know at all that for the people of the Aisin-Gioro family, if they love her, they want her to live; if they hate her, they want her to die. If she loves him, he will give her whatever she wants with both hands.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she pulled at the corner of his clothes and said, "Why don't I divide the palace power among the concubines so that they can have something to do and not be idle, what do you think, cousin?"

Sheng Huan actually felt that the affairs of the harem were too complicated. It would be better to divide them into sections so that she could take charge of the overall situation. She wouldn't have to deal with trivial matters. If any part was not done well, she would punish the person in charge.

"Just do as Qing'er says. Qing'er, don't worry."
