Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 398: Rumors of trying to have a baby
As a natural emperor, Kangxi was undoubtedly an extremely intelligent man. How could he not know that Nanxi was reluctant to have children? Health was only one of the reasons, and there were bigger reasons.
That is, given his love for Nanxi, if she had a child, and if the child happened to be a little prince, it would have a huge impact, the biggest of which would be on the stability of the crown prince's position.
After all, everyone still remembers vividly the various special cases that the late emperor made for Consort Dong E's child. If Nanxi had a little prince, it is inevitable that court officials would wonder whether they would repeat what the late emperor did.
Even when he occasionally thought of this question, he did not dare to deny it without hesitation, which also frightened him. It turned out that love for someone is linked to his family.
This is also the reason why Nanxi has not mentioned the matter of children in the past two years, and he has never mentioned it either. But deep down in his heart, he still wants a child with Nanxi, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, and it would be best if it looks like himself. This is his selfish wish.
Normally speaking, he was twenty-two years older than Nanxi and would definitely die earlier than Nanxi. He hoped that the child would look like him, so that when he died first, Nanxi could occasionally miss him through the child's face.
But he didn't say it. He understood Nanxi's thoughtfulness. She never asked for power or status from him. She just cared about him sincerely.
So he directly stated that he had no ambition. How could he not love such a girl?
And now that Nanxi said she wanted to have a child with him, he was going to have a child with Nanxi. Kangxi clenched his hands behind his back into fists.
Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi's reaction and said without noticing:
"Yes, Your Majesty heard it right. What do you think?" It is better to give birth to a child when both parents are looking forward to it.
"Of course it's good." Kangxi said without hesitation: "We want a child for both of us."
Shi Nanxi was very satisfied with Kangxi's attitude and said with a smile:
"Then Your Majesty must work hard in the future!"
After saying this, she was about to take another step, but the next moment, her body suddenly flew into the air, and Kangxi suddenly hugged her by the waist. She screamed in fear and quickly hugged Kangxi's neck, but Kangxi laughed out loud.
When Xixi, who was holding the other end of the leash, saw this scene, her eyes widened in shock and she quickly ran over and meowed at Kangxi.
[The male host is not allowed to bully the female host, put her down quickly! ]
Upon seeing this, Kangxi not only did not let her go, but instead deliberately hugged her even tighter in front of Xixi, which made Xixi scream even louder.
"Your Majesty, do not bully Xixi. Also, what do you want to do? You are still outside. How disgraceful!"
After Shi Nanxi came to her senses, she was so angry that she punched Kangxi's chest with her little fist. This old man was so mean that he even bullied the cat.
To Kangxi, this little fist was like tickling him. He looked down at the little girl, feeling particularly happy, and said:
"I didn't bully Xixi. I was just teasing it. As for what I want to do..."
He deliberately leaned close to Heather Brooke's ear, his lowered voice sounding low and sexy.
"Nanxi, don't you want me to work hard in the future? I will work hard now!"
Shi Nanxi blushed and was angry. Who would go to such an effort in the afternoon? She gritted her teeth and said:
"The emperor is really diligent. He started working hard in the afternoon."
Shi Nanxi was clearly mocking Kangxi for being too impatient and committing adultery in broad daylight, but Kangxi accepted the compliment as a matter of course.
"People need to be diligent. I have understood this principle since I was a child. Let's go and work hard!"
"Your Majesty~"
Afterwards, Shi Nanxi was carried into the house by Kangxi and worked hard in front of everyone. That day, the two of them worked hard from the afternoon to the night, which really lived up to Kangxi's words about diligence.
……
While everything is sweet and happy in Tangquan Palace, rumors in the other palace are getting more and more intense. In Tiyuan Palace, ever since the rumor spread in the palace that Shi Yiyao was sent by Concubine Xian to secure her favor and give birth to a child, everyone has become more enthusiastic about her.
"Shi San Gege, you have learned the rules so well that even the teaching nanny praised you!"
"What do you know? You must learn these rules well, so that it will be easier for you to adapt to life in the palace in the future!"
This sentence was very meaningful. After hearing it, the other ladies' eyes flickered and they followed suit:
"That's right. In the future, we may have to rely on Princess Shi San!"
During the intermission, the beauties gathered in groups of three or four to talk, and the largest group among them was Shi Yiyao and her group.
Shi Yiyao was surrounded by the crowd, looking reserved, but pride was clearly evident in her eyes.
She also didn't know how the rumor that she was here to help Concubine Xian gain favor and give birth to a child suddenly spread in the palace. When she first heard it, she was almost scared to death, thinking she was exposed.
However, as the rumor became more and more intense, Chuxiu Palace did not come forward to clarify or suppress the rumor. As a result, she was sought after and flattered by the concubines, and even some of the noble daughters who were previously high and mighty became friendly and enthusiastic towards her.
Only then did she realize that helping Concubine Xian to secure her favor and giving birth to a child would bring more benefits than she had imagined and would also bring a brighter future.
And as long as the rumors keep spreading, they will become true even if they are not true.
As a result, Shi Yiyao's original doubts in her heart were now thrown out of her mind amidst the public's attention, and she was obsessed with enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
Not far from Shi Yiyao, Guo Luoluo, Baozhu and her group were also gathered together to talk. Among them was a young lady who was the daughter of a Manchu noble family. She disdained to kowtow to Shi Yiyao and looked at Shi Yiyao, who was the center of attention, with disdain.
"It's just something that Concubine Xian found to consolidate her favor and give birth to a child. Do you really think you are some noble queen?"
"Hush, don't talk nonsense. What queen? If someone hears you, you will be guilty of verbal offense. At the very least, you will be punished by the teaching nanny, and at the worst, you will be expelled from the palace."
The woman who was speaking was always cautious, so she quickly reminded him in a low voice after hearing it.
The noble daughter was startled and muttered:
"Alright, alright. I just can't stand seeing a concubine's daughter being so prominent in the selection of the Eight Banners. But why would Concubine Xian choose a concubine's sister to have a son with her? Shi Yiyao's arrogant and arrogant personality doesn't seem like someone who would keep to herself."
The cautious lady pondered for a moment and frowned:
"This matter is very strange. Don't you think that even if Concubine Xian really had this plan, it would be done secretly? How could it be known to the whole palace?"
Guo Luoluo Baozhu, who had remained silent all the time, pursed her lips when she heard this. At this time, the young lady, who was born as a legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, seemed to be thinking about something.
"It does seem a little strange when you put it that way. Could it be that someone spread the news on purpose? That's too bold. Isn't the other party afraid that Concubine Xian will find out and punish her?"
Hearing this, Guo Luoluo Baozhu's long eyelashes trembled violently, and the cautious girl hesitated and said:
"I don't know either, but the rumors are so intense and I haven't seen Concubine Xian ask anyone to clarify or suppress them. Maybe... they are true?"
Guo Luoluo Baozhu's face turned pale, and her palms that were holding the handkerchief were sweating. A few days ago, her aunt, Concubine Yi, summoned her and she specifically asked about Zui Shi Yiyao. At that time, her aunt firmly told her that Concubine Xian would never find someone to consolidate her favor and give birth to a child, and she would certainly not find her half-sister.
She secretly put her worries aside. Otherwise, with Concubine Xian's great favor and Shi Yiyao's beauty, she was worried that the emperor would be attracted to them sisters. But how could this matter get out and spread everywhere?
She had been terrified these past few days, fearing that Concubine Xian would track her down and punish her and expel her from the palace. But until now, when no one had come to find her despite the raging rumors, she gradually put her mind at ease, thinking that perhaps her aunt was too ill and her mind was not clear, so she guessed wrong, and her guess was correct.
She was afraid and worried, and had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. Combined with what she had just said, Guo Luoluo Baozhu raised her eyelids and had a bad premonition.
At this moment, a palace maid came back from outside and hurriedly reported to a concubine:
"Princess, I just heard a rumor on my way to the Imperial Household Department, saying that Concubine Xian has never wanted to find someone to secure her favor and give birth to a child. The rumor is said to be spread by someone else."
"What? The rumor is false? Do you know who spread it?"
"Yes, it's Princess Guoluo Luo Baozhu."
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Guo Luoluo Baozhu. Guo Luoluo Baozhu's brain buzzed and then went blank.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the gate, and Qiaohui, who was beside Concubine Yi, came anxiously to summon Guo Luoluo and Baozhu to go to Yiku Palace.
But at this time Yun'er, who was beside Concubine Hui, also came. The two looked at each other, and Qiaohui's face turned pale, knowing that Princess Baozhu was finished.
Sure enough, Yun'er came to convey Concubine Hui's decree, summoning Guo Luoluo Baozhu to go to the Yanx Palace.
Guo Luoluo Baozhu turned pale in an instant. At the same time, the beauties surrounding Shi Yiyao reacted and took a few steps back in unison, which was in stark contrast to their previous admiration. Shi Yiyao also turned pale.
