Chapter 154 Kangxi Pure Concubine 21
Chapter 154 Kangxi Pure Concubine 21
Kangxi found out the real culprit behind the incident, but it was difficult to deal with him.
Noble Lady Nara has a sickly son. Punishing her at this time would embarrass her son.
Not only did Uya give birth to a prince, she was also pregnant with another one!
Kangxi himself knew the pain of his mother's early death. To be honest, he really couldn't bring himself to kill Noble Lady Nara and Concubine Uya. He couldn't do it now.
After Wangshu had been recuperating in Qixiang Palace for a month, Noble Lady Nara of Zhongcui Palace was demoted to a concubine because she was not diligent enough in taking care of the royal heir. She was not allowed to be promoted within five years. Her son, who was less than a year old, was given to Concubine An to raise.
However, Concubine An was not happy, mainly because the child was weaker than Wan Fu, and it would be a troublesome thing if he died.
In fact, a lot is known about Wangshu's miscarriage. Everyone saw what happened to Concubine Nala and knew that the emperor was deliberately hiding it. No one dared to expose Kangxi's concealment at this critical juncture.
In Chengqian Palace, after learning about the fate of Noble Lady Nara, Uya was worried for two days. After finding out that she was fine, she put her mind at ease.
This is thanks to her belly, otherwise, her fate would be worse than that of noble lady Nara. Now that Nara has agreed, her fate would be even worse than hers.
As for her retribution, Kangxi had already arranged it. He would wait until she gave birth to the child.
To survive in the harem, one needs to have some means, and Kangxi also knows that it is difficult to survive without such means. However, Uya attacked his child, and her means were too cruel and ruthless. How could such a person be a good mother?
Yinzhen was right not to let her raise the baby. After she gave birth, Kangxi decided to give the baby in her belly to someone else to raise.
Wangshu was not completely ignorant of what was happening outside the palace.
Baozhu: "I want to tell you something. Has the noble lady Nara from Zhongcui Palace been demoted to a concubine?"
Wangshu was surprised and asked: "What happened?"
Baozhu smiled and explained: "She didn't take good care of the heir, so the emperor punished her."
"Is the punishment so severe?"
"The heir to the throne is the most important. She has neglected the heir to the throne, so she will have to pay the price."
Baozhu smiled and thought, this is just the beginning, since Nara dared to do it, don't blame her for revenge, Wangshu's miscarriage destroyed the hope of their Daijia family.
She half closed her eyes to hide the gloom inside. She understood what the emperor meant, but the twelfth prince had been privately diagnosed by the imperial physician as dying.
The twelfth prince could protect his mother while he was alive, but what if he died? After he died, Nara promised that he would be retaliated by the Daijia family.
Wangshu is easy to bully, so she must do something to let the concubines in the harem know that she is not so easy to bully.
After Wangshu's miscarriage this time, Baozhu reflected a lot and realized that she was not cautious enough.
Chengqian Palace.
"I intend to promote Consort Chun to be a concubine."
Concubine Tong was not happy about it, so she found an excuse to refuse: "But the position of concubine is full?"
"It doesn't matter. The number of positions was set by me. One more is fine. Concubine Chun has suffered this time, and I want to compensate her."
Concubine Tong felt extremely bitter in her heart. Compensation?
What a funny, strange word!
So many children have been aborted in the harem over the years. Other concubines might lose favor if they couldn't keep their children. But when it came to Concubine Chun, she lost her child, and the entire harem had to put on a show and hide it from her, just to not let her be sad, and they even gave her the position of the head of the palace as compensation!
After the bitterness, Concubine Tong's first reaction was: "Since you are going to promote Concubine Chun, and Concubine Wuya is still pregnant, Your Majesty, do you think you can promote her as well?"
If Uya had not participated, Kangxi would naturally not be stingy with the position of a noble lady, but who made her participate?
"Wu Yachang is there. I have other plans. Let's wait until she gives birth to the baby. You should take good care of her and make sure to keep the baby."
"Yes, I understand."
Kangxi left after saying this.
Concubine Tong looked at his back and couldn't help but stroke her cheek: "Mammy, I have only been in the palace for a few years, but I feel old. Obviously, at the beginning, the emperor and I were not like this."
At that time, they could still call each other cousin and speak to each other affectionately in private, but now they are polite and distant.
"You are talking nonsense, madam. You are young and beautiful."
"But I feel so tired!"
-
"I only assist in the internal affairs, always carefully manage the six palaces, assist the king's style, and first respect the four teachings of the husband. I am concerned about your virtuous behavior and bestow new grace on you. I would like to ask you, Dai Jia, to be well-mannered, to serve in the imperial court for a long time, to work hard day and night, to be dignified and set an example, to be quiet and virtuous, and to receive the title early. With the emblem of the Jin Dynasty, I now seal and confer you the title of Pure Concubine. You are virtuous and prudent, and you still obey the husband's orders, be gentle and respectful, and hope that you will always enjoy the prosperity of the husband."
Wangshu was still in a daze, Liang Jiugong smiled and reminded: "Empress Chunpin, please accept the order quickly!"
After being reminded like this, Wangshu quickly accepted the order and expressed his gratitude. Nanny Zhang was responsible for greeting Liang Jiugong and others, while Wangshu was still in a daze.
After the people who announced the decree had left, Wangshu was confused and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly promote me?"
Nanny Zhang smiled and reminded: "Now that the queen is also the head of a palace, you should call yourself this palace. As for why you were promoted, it's because the emperor likes you, and your position will be promoted to where his heart is."
Wangshu smiled sweetly when she said that.
"The Emperor has indeed treated me very well."
That night, Kangxi came over.
"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."
Wangshu's smile was particularly sweet and bright. She was promoted, how sweet it was! In the future, there would be fewer people to kneel! Her salary would also be improved a lot, and she could be the master of Qixiang Palace.
Kangxi also smiled brightly: "You, I told you to slow down, I can't run."
"How can that be the same? To see the Emperor, you have to run. If I am one second faster, I can spend one more second with the Emperor."
Kangxi was naturally delighted by such a straightforward expression of love. He took her into the house and then acted affectionate with her.
However, Kangxi only drank some soup and touched her, but did not really do anything. Although the imperial physician said that Wangshu was fit enough to sleep with his wife, it would be better for him to rest a little longer.
Kangxi also wants Wangshu to stay with him for a long time!
Qixiang Palace was filled with peace and joy, and everyone from top to bottom was rewarded with a lot of money.
The one who could not accept it the most was Wu Ya, who was pregnant in Chengqian Palace.
She originally thought that if Nara agreed to be a scapegoat, she would be able to rest easy. However, who knew that Kangxi did not play by the rules and compensated Wangshu with a concubine position because of her miscarriage.
Just like when Concubine Tong heard the reason why Kangxi wanted to promote Wangshu, Uya thought Kangxi was joking.
In the past, I have never heard of any concubine who had a miscarriage receiving such compensation. If there were such compensation, everyone in the harem would probably be able to get the position of a concubine.
In this game, from Uya's perspective, she felt that she had basically planned everything out. However, she had overlooked the fact that Kangxi did not play by the rules and forcibly made Wangshu the head of a palace. Uya then knew that even if she could give birth to a royal prince, she would not be able to be promoted to the position of a concubine, and at best she would be a noble lady.
But she cannot be the main lady of a palace. There is not much difference between being a concubine or a noble lady.
She is not reconciled!
At this moment, rage burned in Uya's eyes. If she wanted to achieve her goal, Wangshu had to die. Only a dead person could make room for her.
She touched her belly and held it in for the time being. She couldn't be anxious. She had to take it slow and give birth to the baby safely first. This baby wouldn't be as well taken care of as the first one, so she couldn't worry about it anymore.
