Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 43 Kangxi's Harem Wins Everyday

A month passed in a flash, and An Ning was finally about to leave her confinement. She took several deep baths and felt relaxed all over. Kangxi also felt much more comfortable.

Kangxi attached great importance to the Sixteenth Prince's full-month banquet and ordered Concubine Tong to organize it well, saying that no royal prince had been born in the palace for a long time.

After hearing this, Concubine Tong knew that An Ning's favor had not yet ended, so she made preparations with all her heart.

Therefore, the full-moon banquet was held with great ceremony. Needless to say, clan members were bound to come, and important officials in the court also came with their wives.

An Ning appeared at the full moon banquet with Kangxi. Everyone looked at An Ning beside Kangxi and couldn't help wondering, how come she didn't look uglier after giving birth to a child, but instead looked more charming!

There are many ways to keep healthy in the palace, but you are taking such good care of yourself right after the confinement period. Isn't that a little too much?

An Ning didn't care what everyone was thinking. She just felt tired, but still happy. How could she not be happy at the full moon banquet?

After the ceremony was over, Kangxi laughed and said, "Liang Jiugong, announce the decree!"

Everyone was shocked. To announce the decree at the full moon banquet could be a big or small matter, and none of them knew the news in advance.

Liang Jiugong stood up and began to read the first imperial edict.

The content is roughly that my sixteenth prince was born blessed and noble... and was given the name Yinyi.

When everyone heard this name, they thought about it and had no objection. It had a good typical meaning, but it was not so special as to make people think too much like Yinzuo.

So everyone accepted it well.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Jiugong took out the second imperial edict.

Everyone saw that the first imperial edict was to give a name to the Sixteenth Prince. The younger prince was still young and it was impossible for him to be rewarded, so it was obvious who this imperial edict was for.

Everyone's eyes were on An Ning. In fact, there was a hint of surprise in An Ning's eyes. As everyone knew, Kangxi was very stingy with the positions of concubines in the harem.

is it possible?

Can she be crowned a concubine?

Liang Jiugong did not let An Ning guess for too long and quickly read out the content of the imperial edict, which roughly said that Shupin Ulanara was beautiful and intelligent, kind-hearted, and won my heart, so she was named Shufei.

How should I put it? It feels both unexpected and not unexpected.

Kangxi was indeed stingy with positions, but An Ning had children, favor, and family background, so it was very reasonable for her to be promoted. If she was not promoted, it would be unreasonable if you think about it carefully!

An Ning took the imperial edict with a smile and expressed her gratitude.

It can be said that An Ning made a lot of money at this full moon banquet. Not only did she receive many gifts and rewards, but most importantly, her status was promoted.

The position of concubine!

It was not easy to get the position of concubine in the reign of Kangxi, but with the position of concubine, she would be able to get involved in some palace affairs in the future. She did not need connections to win favor, and she did not even need to be wary of other people's calculations, as Kangxi would arrange all these for her.

She needed a lot of money to train the talents she needed. To fight for the throne, she needed money. However, it was not easy for her to give remote commands in the palace. With the palace affairs, it would be much easier for her to communicate with the palace.

Compared to An Ning's happiness, everyone in the harem was obviously not very happy.

As everyone knows, Kangxi was stingy with positions. Except for the "mascot" Tong Guifei, the four most powerful concubines in the harem had waited for many years for a concubine position.

During that period, she suffered a lot of plots, and childbirth was more thrilling than the last, and several children died.

But why can we have peace?

How could he be promoted so quickly after only being in the palace for less than two years?

A family background?

But there are also some who have good family background.

have kids?

There were also many women in the harem who gave birth to sons but still had low positions, and some of them did not even get the position of concubine.

As for pampering?

The king's concubine was also very favored, and her son was also quite favored, but she was still a concubine. Although she enjoyed the same share as a concubine, she had to perform greetings when she saw the concubine.

We all have a hard time, and when someone suddenly gets lucky, it’s hard not to be jealous.

Reason told them that the Sixteenth Prince’s age did not conflict with their interests and it was not worth offending, but they were still upset!

An Ning happily returned to Changchun Palace with the imperial edict and her son. At night, Kangxi stayed in Changchun Palace. In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard a loud noise, which woke up both An Ning and Kangxi.

"Liang Jiugong, what's going on outside?"

Liang Jiugong also felt unlucky and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin from the back palace has gone, and her maids are making a fuss."

Kangxi had already forgotten who Concubine Lin was. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but since she was dead, Kangxi couldn't help but think too much.

Today is Yin Yi's full moon banquet. Concubine Lin could have died at any other time, but tonight. He wondered if someone wanted to ruin his son's reputation.

An Ning also had some doubts. She would ask about Concubine Lin's condition every month. Although the situation was not very good, it was not to the point of being exhausted!

An Ning: "Your Majesty, please accompany me to see Concubine Lin. I can also ask her what's going on."

Kangxi had the same idea and nodded in agreement.

The two men went to the back hall in the middle of the night. When they arrived, Chen Changzai was also there. It could be seen that she had just woken up. Her face was not made up and she looked sleepy. When she saw the two men, she hurriedly bowed: "Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the Empress."

Kangxi: "Get up, how did you get here?"

Because of the jade plaque, Kangxi had some impression of Chen Changzai. He knew that she lived in Changchun Palace and was a well-behaved person.

Chen Changzai didn't want to come either. She was woken up by the noise. Concubine Lin's maid was very good at crying.

"Your Majesty, I was woken up by the noise. I heard that Sister Lin had gone, so I got up to see her off."

Kangxi waved his hand: "You are thoughtful."

After that, Kangxi looked at the maid of Concubine Lin who was still crying and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid choked up and said, "My name is Chunying, and I am the maid of Concubine Lin."

Kangxi: "Tell me when you found out that Concubine Lin was gone?"

Chunying: "About a quarter of an hour ago, the young lady woke up and said she was thirsty. I went out to prepare some tea, but when I came back I couldn't wake her up. I got closer and found that she was very pale. After checking her, I realized that she was dead. Woo woo woo..."

Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go find someone to check on Concubine Lin's recent food, clothing and expenses to see if there is any problem."

The timing was too coincidental. Kangxi would feel uneasy if he didn't investigate. He was afraid that someone would make trouble in Changchun Palace in the future. He would be annoyed to death.

Chunying continued to cry and complain: "Your Majesty, it was unjust for my lady to die!"

Kangxi stared at her: "What do you mean?"

Chunying said intermittently: "The day before yesterday, the imperial physician came to check the young lady's pulse and everything was normal. He just told the young lady to take good care of herself. When the young lady said she was thirsty, I saw that she was fine and had no discomfort. How could she suddenly die out of nowhere?"

Yes, she died suddenly. There was no sign of Concubine Lin's death.

Kangxi: "I understand. Liang Jiugong, bring this palace maid to investigate for me."

An Ning also felt tired. A person was gone out of the blue.

Although she had only met Concubine Lin a few times, she was a very obedient and quiet person with a low presence. She only asked about her periodically. She knew that she would not live long, but she did not expect that she would not live so long.

If this was an accident, someone with ulterior motives would probably link it to Yin Yi. A concubine cannot have any impact on the emperor, but it is disgusting enough.

If it weren't for the accident, there would still be more noise!
