Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Time passed little by little, and Mu Xi would bring the quintuplets to the palace to pay their respects to the empress dowager and the imperial concubine every now and then, and Kangxi would also come to see the quintuplets from time to time.

However, Kangxi liked the eldest daughter Pingping the most. He would hold Pingping in his arms every time, while the imperial concubine would hold the second daughter Anan, who looked like her.

The selection process began soon, and the concubines who had sons were trying their best to choose a few concubines and princesses for their sons who could give birth to imperial grandchildren.

Today, Mu Xi brought the quintuplets to the palace to see the imperial concubine, and is now appreciating the flowers in the imperial garden with the imperial concubine.

At this time, several elegant and pretty women came over, bowed with a smile on their faces and said, "Your servants greet the Imperial Concubine and the Tenth Lady. May the Imperial Concubine and the Tenth Lady be blessed with good health!"

The imperial concubine frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows and said calmly, "Get up! If nothing else, just stay away from this pavilion. I don't want anyone to disturb my daughter-in-law from enjoying the flowers."

The imperial concubine almost said, "Go away and stop bothering me." Since the selection began, I have encountered various performances of the concubines in front of me from time to time. Aren't they just trying to please me so that they can enter Yin'e's mansion?

Mu Xi was a little confused. What happened to her mother today? She was usually very kind to people, but this was not the case. Could it be that these concubines had offended her mother?

When the concubines heard the imperial concubine's expulsion, their faces turned pale instantly, their bodies were a little shaky, and they bit their lips and said, "Your Highness, we are playing the piano and writing poems in the imperial garden today. I wonder if your Highness and the Tenth Lady would like to go and have a look."

The imperial concubine glanced at the girls and said, "This palace and the tenth lady are not interested in these things. Please go down."

After hearing this, several concubines could no longer stay. They had thought that the imperial concubine would be gentler when the Tenth Lady was around, so they took the risk and wanted to show off to see if they could enter the Tenth Prince's mansion.

After the imperial concubine saw those concubines leave, she turned to Mu Xi and said, "Tell Yin'e to be careful recently and don't let anyone rely on him. I've been annoyed to death by these concubines recently.

Tell Yin'e that he doesn't need to come to the palace to pay his respects to me until the selection is over. You don't need to come to the palace either. It's better to stay away from it."

Mu Xi didn't understand what was going on after hearing this. It turned out that they were all targeting Yin'e. Then she smiled and said, "I know, mother. I will tell you when I get back."

The two people who were disturbed by the concubines were in no mood to continue appreciating the flowers, so Mu Xi took the quintuplets out of the palace.

After returning home, Mu Xi also told Yin'e about this matter.

After hearing this, Yin'e thought that his mother was worrying too much, but after being stared at by Mu Xi for a few seconds, he immediately gave in and said that he understood.

However, he was slapped in the face not long after. There was actually a concubine who wanted to rely on Yin'e.

It was a sunny day today. The Crown Prince and the eldest prince called a few princes, including the tenth prince, and they came to the imperial garden to appreciate the flowers.

I just happened to meet a group of beautiful girls who had been waiting for a long time.

Suddenly, a wild cat appeared from nowhere, and no one knew whether some of the concubines were really or pretending to be afraid of cats, so they screamed in panic, and the concubines became a mess.

Several concubines saw the opportunity and threw themselves on the princes, and one of them threw himself on the tenth prince.

Yin'e didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he pushed his personal eunuch Dexi out and stood in front of the concubine, and then kicked her again, causing the concubine to have a close contact with Dexi.

When the concubine saw that the person she had thrown down was a eunuch, she fainted on the spot.

It is the result of one's own evil. The reputation of the concubine was ruined and she was also put on the shelf.

After Dexi got up, he looked at the Tenth Prince with a face full of grievance, thinking resentfully, "How could my master treat a servant like this?"

Yin'e pretended that he saw nothing, quickly left the palace, and went to Mu Xi to ask for a reward.

The other princes took the princesses back with dark faces. After all, no matter how pretty the concubines were, it couldn't erase the fact that they were being plotted against.

Ever since this incident happened, the concubine was reprimanded by several concubines in the palace and finally she calmed down!

The princes all said that they would not enter the palace until the selection was over.

After this incident, Yin'e spread the word that no one would enter the Tenth Prince's mansion, so don't bother with it anymore.

Moreover, Yin'e also said that if anyone was shameless and insisted on relying on him, he would be exiled to a separate courtyard as soon as he entered the mansion, and his life or death would be none of his business.

As soon as these words were spoken, the noble ladies in the capital all envied the Tenth Concubine very much and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​marrying into the Tenth Prince's house.

Soon the selection was over, and each prince was given a princess, and some were given a concubine. For example, the eighth and ninth princes were given concubines.

The Eighth and Ninth Concubines almost fainted with anger when they received the imperial edict. After all, if she was a princess, it would be easy for them to control her, while the concubine was a concubine of the Jade Butterfly, so her status was slightly lower than theirs.

Then she felt unwell all over. That afternoon, the imperial physician came to see her and found out that both the Eighth and Ninth Concubines were pregnant, the Eighth Concubine was two months pregnant, and the Ninth Concubine was one month pregnant.

When the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince heard the news, they were overjoyed. It was a double happiness for them.

When Li from next door heard the news, she was extremely jealous and asked the maid next to her, "Master, how long has it been since you stayed overnight at my place?"

The head maid said: "My concubine, since the last birth, every time the master comes, he only comes to see my concubine and then goes back to the front yard."

Li became even angrier when she heard this, and thought that she must keep the Fourth Master and give birth to a prince next time, otherwise when other princesses entered the mansion, her chances would be even smaller.

But what Li didn't know was that the Fourth Prince was determined not to have another princess, and he was determined not to have sex with Li anymore. She had already given birth to twelve princesses, who could bear to have more?

On the other hand, Mu Xi thought that her pregnancy was almost three months old, so she took a fake pregnancy pill and planned to ask the palace doctor to check her pulse tonight. After all, the imperial concubine's health was worse now, and she didn't know if she could survive until the birth of this baby.

That night, Yin'e learned that Mu Xi was pregnant. He was happy at first, but then he became worried and sad about his upcoming days of abstinence. He also secretly swore in his heart that after giving birth to this baby, he would use contraception and have another baby in a few years.

At the same time, Yin'e immediately sent someone to invite the imperial physician over.

In the end, Mu Xi stopped him and decided to ask for the imperial physician when he went to the palace to pay his respects to the imperial concubine tomorrow.

In fact, Mu Xi wanted to say, it’s late at night, just let those doctors go.

Because once the imperial physician arrives, he probably won't be able to leave tonight, and Yin'e will start asking all kinds of questions, even questions he asked last time.

At the same time, Mu Xi also felt sorry for this silly boy and didn't want Yin'e to stay up late.

However, even if the imperial physician had not come, Yin'e could not escape the dark circles under his eyes the next day.

Because Yin'e was worried about Muxi the whole night, fearing that Muxi would be like the previous first wife, who gave birth too frequently and died early, so he asked the court doctor to discuss the matter with him the whole night.
