The Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 248 Qualifications to Be Jealous

Xueying, who was eating meat nearby, let out an "Awooo" at the right time, breaking the shock.

Malu reacted and quickly squatted down to apologize: "I am just a child and I don't know where the Hall of Supreme Harmony is. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Kangxi waved his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Forget it, Wen Xian just likes to be close to his family. How can I blame him?"

He simply asked the nanny to bring Wen Xian over, and after putting him in her arms, she gently touched the child's head and said, "You are so naughty. Why do you think the Hall of Supreme Harmony is good?"

Wen Xian blinked his eyes, as if realizing that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, and whispered: "Father Emperor, I know I was wrong, and I won't say nonsense again in the future."

After admitting his fault, and seeing that Kangxi was not really angry, he answered Kangxi's question: "Wen Xian feels at ease every time he goes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. What's more, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a big place, and my mother and her brothers and sisters can live there comfortably."

Kangxi was even happier after hearing this. She was indeed a little cotton-padded jacket! Every word tickled Kangxi's itch.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place for holding various ceremonies. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held grand ceremonies in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, such as the emperor's enthronement, the emperor's wedding, the empress's enthronement, and the ordering of generals to go to war.

In addition, on the three major festivals every year, namely the Emperor's Birthday, New Year's Day and the Winter Solstice, the Emperor would accept congratulations from civil and military officials and give banquets to princes and ministers.

Whether in terms of architectural regulations or decoration, the Hall of Supreme Harmony demonstrates the supremacy of imperial power everywhere.

If Wen Xian, who said this, was a prince, Kangxi would definitely not have the attitude he has today.

At the same time, Kangxi was also somewhat amazed. After all, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was solemn and dignified, and everyone who went there was trembling with fear.

Even I have to be careful and not be disrespectful in the Hall of Supreme Harmony... How could Wen Xian, a princess, feel safe there?

What a rarity!

Wen Xian wanted more brothers and sisters, and Kangxi also liked to hear this. Wen Xian... was a boy and a girl, so what she said must be a lucky thing, and it might be accurate!

Kangxi smiled and said to Wen Xian, "Your idea is unique, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not a place where anyone can live. But as for your wish to have more brothers and sisters, I agree."

As he said this he glanced at Malu in an ambiguous manner.

Malu was used to hearing his dirty talk and had learned to act shy subconsciously. But the Fourth Prince, who seemed to be unable to understand, was actually an experienced driver who could hardly sit still!

help-

The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, Emperor Yongzheng felt that he had never been so helpless.

He wasn't so nervous even during the battle for the throne among the nine dragons.

Father Emperor, Mother, don’t you know that you should stay away from people?

The Fourth Prince wanted to snatch Wen Xian away and cover his ears - this was not something a child should listen to.

When Kangxi and Malu were flirting with each other, Wen Xian began to ignore the lives of others and looked at the Fourth Prince with a confused look. She opened her mouth and asked the Fourth Prince: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

Malu and Kangxi hurried to see the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, I just feel a little hot here."

Malu also reacted and realized that he might have lost his composure just now, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Wen Xian, take Xiao Qi with you and go play with your fourth brother."

Wen Xian nodded obediently, jumped out of Kangxi's arms, and ran away holding the Fourth Prince's hand.

When Kangxi saw that the child had left, he simply waved away everyone and hugged Malu and started to make moves on her.

Malu held his hand and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, how can you do this in broad daylight? If you wait any longer, I will be beaten into a demon concubine."

Kangxi didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Have we ever taken care of it before? Wen Xian has urged me, so I have to pay attention to it."

Malu blushed and looked to the side: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your manners. If Wen Xian comes back later, I will not be able to survive."

Kangxi then calmed down a little and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will let you go for now, but you are not allowed to make excuses again tonight."

Malu nodded slightly, and the blush on her face became even darker.

Seeing Malu nod, Kangxi remembered that the reason he came to see Malu in the first place was because she was not feeling well and could not sleep with him.

He immediately asked Liang Jiugong to invite an imperial physician to see Concubine De.

Before Malu could stop him, Liang Jiugong turned around and went out to tell people to invite the imperial physician Rong, who had always been used in Yonghe Palace.

Malu frowned slightly, secretly sighing that Liang Jiugong was moving too quickly, and still tried to call him back.

"Your Majesty, I just examined him yesterday. Why do you need to trouble the imperial physician again today..."

Kangxi said without question: "The imperial physician is a subordinate serving you, how can I say that I am bothering you? I am just worried about you, so I personally asked about it."

Soon, Doctor Rong came in a hurry and saw the emperor's procession at the door. He felt nervous and melancholy.

However, he still calmly saluted the emperor and Malu, and then asked: "I dare to ask the emperor and the queen why you summoned me here today?"

Malu glanced at Rong Ji below with a bit of helplessness, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing serious, but the emperor is worried about me, and hopes that you can check my pulse again."

After hearing this, Doctor Rong calmed down and began to check Malu's pulse. After a while, Doctor Rong stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your pulse is the same as yesterday, but your yin and yang are out of balance. It's because you stayed up late, your qi and blood are slightly disordered, and your yin and yang are slightly out of balance. You just need to take care of yourself and rest, and you will recover."

Kangxi frowned slightly and asked, "Then according to your opinion, is Defei's health good enough for me to sleep with you today?"

As soon as these words came out, Malu's face turned red instantly.

When Rong Ji heard Kangxi ask this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

Could it be that my sister refused my favor because of her illness?

When he thought of this, he felt both sweet and bitter in his heart. He looked up quietly, trying to see if Malu had any instructions for him.

But Malu had no time to look at him at this time. Seeing that he had gained nothing, Rong Ji could only lower his head and said, "The queen is fine. She just needs a little rest. But the emperor... The emperor is in good health... He still needs..."

Kangxi didn't want to listen any further and nodded directly: "I understand. I will be careful. You can go down now."

As he said this, he picked up Malu and walked into the inner room.

The beautiful scenery inside the room was not worth telling to outsiders. Outside, Rong Ji could only conceal his emotions, carry his suitcase, and walk out lonely.

The next morning, Kangxi, who had been making a fuss all night, left in a hurry. When he left, he did not forget to take the music score and gave a string of rewards as compensation.

This was something he and Yinreng had completed together, so he should keep it well. Defei had heard the piece before, so she could just make another one herself when the time came.

Only Ma Lusheng was left lying on the bed helplessly, thinking about how to coax Rong Ji today.
