Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

An Ning felt relieved. She closed the door of Changchun Palace and began to recuperate. There were a lot more comments about her outside.

It's not like the concubines in the harem haven't poisoned each other before. After all, there are many people in the harem, it's boring, and there are conflicts of interest. Most of the concubines come from good families and have some secret medicines in stock at home.

So it is normal that all kinds of secrets continue to exist.

In the past, when Kangxi encountered such things, he was very tolerant as long as it did not involve his offspring. At most, he would sentence the person to death. If it involved a favorite concubine, his family might be implicated and lose their jobs.

But this time, Kangxi directly destroyed the future prospects of the participants' families.

Yonghe Palace, where Concubine De lived.

"Why does it seem to me that something is wrong with the Emperor this time?"

The nanny didn't quite understand: "The emperor did use harsh means to deal with Xia this time, but the emperor has great power now, so it's understandable."

The emperor had been in power for a long time, so naturally he hated people doing things against his wishes. Shupin was in favor, and Xia promised to poison her. It would have been fine if it had not been discovered, but if it had been discovered, wouldn't it have been a slap in the emperor's face?

There is an interesting unspoken rule in Kangxi's harem, which is that no matter how high your position is, you cannot take action against the concubine unless it involves your offspring. Of course, if the concubine is too presumptuous, that's another matter.

An Ning, the favored concubine, is obviously very well-behaved.

It was indeed a challenge to the emperor's authority that Xia Da Ying, a woman who had fallen out of favor, took action against the favored master.

Defei even thought that Xia Da Ying had gone crazy.

Concubine De shook her head: "You don't understand. I have served the emperor for many years and I know him well. The emperor is not the kind of person who would involve the previous dynasty for a woman."

Xia promised that it didn't matter to him, the main thing was that he would be removed from the list of bondservants of the upper three banners, and that he would no longer be the emperor's closest servant.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Emperor is interested in Shupin? I don't think so. Although Shupin is favored, she doesn't look like the type that the Emperor likes."

Concubine De couldn't guess what Kangxi was thinking. She had a hunch that something was wrong, but she really didn't know what was wrong.

"Forget it. There is Shupin anyway. No matter how favored she is, it won't affect the overall situation."

Kangxi was in good health and Defei had two sons, so she obviously had some ideas.

Kangxi was about to turn forty, which was not young anymore. Emperors worked day and night and generally did not live long. Kangxi looked healthy, but at best he could live another ten or twenty years.

Even if Shupin was favored and gave birth to a prince, she did not have the ability to compete in the court.

Although Concubine De was worried that An Ning was too favored, she did not really regard her as a threat.

The high-ranking concubines in the harem were all smart people, and they had similar ideas to Concubine De, thinking that An Ning was nothing to be afraid of. The ones who had objections were the young and fresh concubines and common concubines.

Among them, Concubine Wang was the most concerned.

Before An Ning, Wang Shufei was the most favored.

As a Han woman, she gave birth to a son in the harem. Concubine Wang had beauty, talent, character, and means.

But she could only show all these based on Kangxi's favor for her. Kangxi's "special" treatment of An Ning made Concubine Wang a little scared, and she was afraid of falling out of favor.

She is a Han woman, nominally the daughter of a Jiangnan official, but actually an adopted daughter. In essence, she is a specially trained skinny horse who can be abandoned by the Jiangnan officials at any time.

If she is favored, Jiangnan will give her certain support so that she will have enough money to manage things. If she is not favored, the consequences that await her can be seen from the sickly Concubine Lin in the back palace of Changchun.

She also has a son, and his mother's favor or disfavor has a great impact on her son.

"My lady, the Emperor hasn't sent any rewards for a while, and I see that the servants below are a little slack."

Concubine Wang sighed, a worried look on her face.

"I'll knock on it first. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and ask for the Queen's blessing."

Concubine Wang lived in Yonghe Palace and was strictly under the jurisdiction of Concubine De. Concubine Wang respected Concubine De very much and could not compare to Concubine De in any aspect.

"My lady, if the queen had the will, I'm afraid I wouldn't have neglected you. I wonder if the queen wanted you to test Shupin?"

Concubine Wang said helplessly: "So what? I was able to give birth to the fifteenth prince safely thanks to the grace of Concubine De, but who dares to test the emperor's mind?

That's it. With the Fifteenth Prince here, the Emperor will never completely forget me. As for favors? The Emperor's favor is like flowing water. Your Majesty will never force me to do anything. "

She had long known that the emperor's favor could not be forced.

"My lady, I still feel that we can't go on like this. There is something I haven't told you. I caught a wet nurse who was not attentive enough to serve the Fifteenth Prince. She was sick but she didn't even know it, and the Fifteenth Prince almost drank her milk.

In the past, the emperor often came, so how could the wet nurse dare to be so bold? My lady, there is no favor, and the fifteenth prince is still young, what should I do? "

Concubine Wang was silent.

There is no shortage of children in Yonghe Palace. Concubine De is only the nominal adoptive mother of the Fifteenth Prince, but in fact the child is being raised by her.

Her son is her support, and nothing can happen to him.

"Let me think about it."

She is not in a high position, so it would be a risk for her to show herself up. If it succeeds, it would be fine. But if it fails, she would probably be drowned by rumors.

After thinking for a long time, Concubine Wang decided to give it a try.

Kangxi was the kind of person who wanted his concubines to live and hated his concubines to die. When Concubine Wang was favored in the past, strictly speaking, she did not take the initiative to compete for it.

She was favored because Kangxi chose to favor her, and she was favored for several years because her talent and personality were in line with Kangxi's wishes.

Kangxi hated people who had no sense of boundaries the most. He liked people who were knowledgeable and interesting. In fact, Concubine Wang was very afraid that she would displease Kangxi.

"Go and get all the brocade in the small storeroom. I haven't used needlework for a long time. I plan to make something for the emperor."

"Slave, go now."

Concubine Wang was born in Jiangnan. She was an expert at needlework and had made some things for Kangxi before, but Kangxi didn't use them much. This time, she planned to use her best skills.

She didn't need to do it before, but embroidery was too tiring and strained her eyes, and she didn't have the time or energy for it.

The new ladies who entered the palace and were not yet able to serve the king in bed were more anxious than the king's concubines. Since they had not yet served the king in bed, they could not be considered official concubines. With a group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who watched over them, their treatment was getting worse day by day. Naturally, they were also thinking about how to find a way out.

But none of this has anything to do with An Ning.

The days in Changchun Palace were peaceful and tranquil.

Xia promised that this matter would make Chen Chang lose all his thoughts.

She was not a very courageous person to begin with. If Xia promised to bring harm to the family, the people involved would also bring harm to the family.

Chen Changzai didn't think that far ahead. She just felt that Kangxi favored An Ning.

Considering that she is not young anymore, it is better to keep things as they are. An Ning is not too harsh on others.

"My lady, someone is coming to the flower room."

"Why are the people from the flower room here?"

"The emperor ordered them to come here and move all those flowers and plants away."

An Ning's poisoning was related to flowers and plants, so Kangxi naturally took it seriously and ordered the greenhouse to remove all the flowers and plants.

An Ning sighed: "It's a pity for those flowers and plants, let them move away!"

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry. The Emperor knows that you like flowers and plants, so he specially ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare new flowers and plants. After the Imperial Hospital examines them, they will be sent to us."

An Ning felt that Kangxi valued her, and a smile appeared on her face: "The emperor is showing me favor."

"The Emperor values ​​the Empress."
