Chapter 70

In the afternoon of this day, Kangxi reviewed the memorial in Qianqing Palace.

The little eunuch in the respect room came in with a big silver tray.

On the silver plate are the green cards of the concubines.

Kangxi glanced up at the tray and pondered for a moment, probably thinking about what happened recently.

In the end, he thought about the affairs in the capital, and the fourth master who was working on business.

Dang even opened the signboard of Concubine De, and snapped it off.

At night, Kangxi went to the Yonghe Palace where Concubine De lived.

"The courtiers and concubines welcome the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe." Concubine De carried a hexagonal lantern early and went forward to salute.

Kangxi helped Concubine De, and said with a smile: "Get up, I'm late in reviewing the papers, and I kept you waiting."

"Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, and my concubines should wait no matter how long." Concubine De followed Kangxi to help her up, and continued: "Besides, being able to wait for the emperor is a blessing for my concubines, and my concubines also like it in their hearts."

Kangxi never liked to listen to flattery, but what Concubine De said made him listen.

And he heard it comfortably, and immediately relaxed his brows, with a kind smile on his face.

"You are always so hot, I am very pleased." Kangxi said heartily.

Concubine De knew that Kangxi was happy, so she smiled back: "The concubine is just telling the truth."

After saying a few polite words, Kangxi entered the palace, and Concubine De stepped forward to help him change his clothes and wash his hands.

Kangxi was served by Concubine De, occasionally looking down at Concubine De.

When the lights were turned off and the two lay down, Kangxi lay flat and said: "The fourth brother is a good one. He said everything about the brawl in the capital, so I let him handle it."

"He is still young, and often needs to be taught by the emperor." Concubine De replied with a smile.

"It's not about teaching, let's hone him, but during this period of time, he is working in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, so he probably won't come to pay your respects." Kangxi said lightly.

"It's okay, it's his blessing that he can share the emperor's worries, and the courtiers and concubines don't care." Concubine De always had a gentle smile.

But in the darkness, her eyes flashed a gleam.

Then, she pulled her lips and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been sleeping badly at night recently and has no appetite during the day. Can you ask the fourth Fujin to come into the palace to accompany me? It's good to talk."

When Kangxi heard this, he was slightly pondering, which reminded him of the fourth master and fifth princess.

These two were supposed to be under the concubine De's knees, but instead, the fifth princess was raised by the queen mother, and the fourth master was raised by Tong Jia, the empress of Xiaoyiren.

Although Tong Jiashi, Empress Xiaoyiren passed away, the relationship between Fourth Master and Concubine De has faded after all.

After a long time, Kangxi said calmly: "In this case, let the fourth daughter-in-law come into the palace to accompany you. You should also relax your mind at ordinary times, don't worry about it."

"The concubine knows, but when a person reaches middle age, his sleep is not as good as when he was young." Concubine De laughed back.

After getting a satisfactory answer, she got closer to Kangxi, and tucked the quilt considerately for Kangxi.

Kangxi patted her hand and said: "When you were young, you didn't sleep well, so I wronged you then."

"The concubine is not wronged. It is a great honor for the concubine to be with the emperor all the way." Concubine De said softly.

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

At that time, her status was low, even if she gave birth to a child, she couldn't keep her by her side, so she was inevitably depressed.

Early the next morning, after Concubine De sent Kangxi away to court, she said to Aunt Cui: "Go to the fourth mansion and bring Ulanara to me, and tell me that I haven't seen her for a long time. Yes, let her come into the palace."

After being slightly taken aback, Aunt Cui agreed.

An hour later, Ruoyin was brought into the palace by Aunt Cui.

Ruoyin's expression was as usual. She had thought about it when she came.

It seems that Concubine De invited her this time because of the promise she made to Mrs. Li last time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have caught fourth master and called her into the palace when he wasn't at the house.

At this time, although she has Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, there are still rules on the surface.

She walked to the center of the hall and saluted Concubine De: "Greetings to Er Niang, E Niang is blessed and safe."

"Get up, now that your body is precious, I can't bear to let you kneel more." Concubine De said so.

But after Ruoyin bowed respectfully, he winked at Aunt Cui and asked someone to help Ruoyin up.

Ruoyin let Aunt Cui help her to sit down, "I don't know why Erniang called her daughter-in-law into the palace this time?"

"It's nothing else, it's just that I'm not in good health recently, and I want to invite you into the palace to accompany me, so I hope someone can talk to me." Concubine De said with a gentle smile.

Hearing this, the corners of Ruoyin's mouth twitched. Didn't Concubine De be on good terms with Li Shi and ask Li Shi to enter the palace.

Why let her big belly enter the palace!

Besides, isn't there fourteenth elder brother and seventh princess by her side?

One is a treasure in the palm of your hand, and the other is a caring little padded jacket, why do you need her?

Then, Ruoyin held his lips, neither flattering nor angry.

He just said politely: "Emiang is not in good health, daughter-in-law is supposed to serve her around, but daughter-in-law is pregnant, she really has more than enough energy, if she stays with her in the palace, I'm afraid she will have to cause trouble for her."

He didn't agree or reject what he said, but he just hoped that Concubine De would weigh it up after hearing it.

But Concubine De has made up her mind, how can it be so easy to change, she said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't need your service, it's fine if you stay here with me, I can look at your belly, Be happy, besides, I have already mentioned this matter to the emperor, and the emperor also promised me that you can stay with me in Yonghe Palace for a period of time."

Now, Ruoyin knew that it was useless to say anything, and Concubine De would not change her decision.

At the same time, she also recognized "a period of time" in Defei's mouth.

Heh, hearing this tone, I'm afraid Concubine De is going to suppress her in the palace, and won't give up until she achieves her goal.

And Concubine De's purpose is naturally to distract her and create opportunities for Li Shi!

But Ruoyin was in the palace, so she couldn't let her emotions go, not to mention Concubine De moved Kangxi out.

If she doesn't know what's going on, then she is treasonous and unfilial.

After thinking about these things clearly, Ruoyin finally nodded and said, "In this case, my daughter-in-law is willing to accompany Er Niang in the palace, and I only hope that Er Niang is in good health."
