The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 49

Kangxi talked for a long time with the baby in Nian Xilan's womb in the bedroom, and then quietly accompanied Nian Xilan for a while, then got up and walked to the main hall, and sat on the main seat.

Fang Wan brewed a pot of hot tea for Kangxi as early as after Kangxi entered the door. At this time, seeing Kangxi walking out of the bedroom, she hurried forward to serve tea for Kangxi.

Kangxi picked up the teacup and took a sip, he couldn't help but his heart moved, but his face was still calm, and he asked in a calm tone: "Isn't this tea the West Lake Longjing tea that I gave to Concubine Xi? Brew this tea for me. Tea, whose idea is this?"

Although Fangwan didn't understand why Nian Xilan asked herself to serve tea with West Lake Longjing instead of Biluochun whenever Kangxi came to visit her, she felt that Nian Xilan's arrangement must have a reason.

Fang Wan thought about her words, and replied respectfully: "This is what Xi Concubine specifically asked the servants to do. Maybe Xi Concubine is very fond of the West Lake Dragon Well tea given to her by the emperor. Let the emperor share the delicacy together."

Kangxi raised the corners of his lips slightly, bowed his head and drank three small sips of hot tea, then put the teacup on the table at hand, nodded and said: "This tea tastes really good, no wonder Concubine Xi loves this tea so much."

Kangxi glanced at Liu Shengfang, who was hesitant to speak, "Just now I checked Concubine Xi's pulse at Jingren Palace, what's the situation? Concubine Xi's body is really fine, right?"

Liu Shengfang quickly nodded and assured: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Empress Xi and the emperor's heir in her belly are all well."

Kangxi recalled that Nian Xilan had mentioned to him early this morning that he felt a little discomfort in his waist and abdomen, so he couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "Since it's all right, why does Concubine Xi feel sore in her waist and abdomen this morning?"

Liu Shengfang choked, lowered her head even more, and didn't dare to look at Kangxi's face, carefully choosing her words and suggested: "The first three months and the last two months of a woman's pregnancy are especially critical, and she needs to be careful. Please take good care of me. Please forgive my servant for speaking bluntly, now that Empress Xi is less than three months pregnant, the green card for Empress Xi to be in bed should be withdrawn for the time being."

Kangxi glanced at Liu Shengfang indifferently, but just let out a cold snort but was noncommittal.

Although Kangxi had many concubines, and it was not the first time he became a father, he had never cared so much for any concubine before, so it was naturally impossible for him to sleep with a pregnant concubine.

Even if the concubine was not aware that she was pregnant, she was recruited to serve as a servant, and the rules of serving as a servant were strictly followed. It was just to relieve the desire and ordered the little eunuch to send her back to the bedroom. When he was in love with Nian Xilan, he had never encountered such a situation before, and it was no wonder that Kangxi didn't know why Nian Xilan's waist and abdomen were sore.

Kangxi thought for a moment, then continued to ask: "Apart from this, is Concubine Xi's body normal?"

Liu Shengfang recalled Nian Xilan's pulse condition just now, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face, "Mistress Xi is still pregnant for a short period of time, so I dare not confirm it. It's just..."

Seeing Liu Shengfang's faltering appearance, Kangxi couldn't help becoming more worried, and hurriedly asked: "What is wrong with your diagnosis of Concubine Xi, to be honest. I forgive you for not being guilty!"

"Slave, thank the emperor for his kindness." Liu Shengfang hurriedly saluted Kangxi to thank him, and then expressed her concern, "From the pulse of Empress Xi, it seems that Empress Xi is pregnant with twins."

"Twins?" Kangxi also showed surprise when he heard the words, he frowned and pursed his lips in silence.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry too much!" Liu Shengfang saw that Kangxi was frowning more and more, and quickly tried to persuade her: "Miss Xi Concubine has just been pregnant for more than a month. If you want to be diagnosed, you have to wait another half a month."

Kangxi still had great trust in Liu Shengfang's medical skills, but thinking that Nian Xilan was pregnant with twins, Kangxi was really worried.

There has always been an unwritten rule in the royal family.In order to prevent usurping the throne and endangering the country, if a concubine gave birth to twins with the same appearance, one of them must be sent away or executed.

Although the little elder brother is not like little Gege, he is the child that Kangxi is looking forward to, but when he thinks that the little elder brother born to him and Nian Xilan is very likely to be executed or sent away, Kangxi is extremely reluctant.

Kangxi knew very well in his heart that if Nian Xilan knew about this, the moment when he had no choice but to separate his family, that little girl who was stubborn but had a soft heart would probably be heartbroken and even despaired of him!
Kangxi took a deep breath and silently prayed for God's blessing. It would be best for Nian Xilan to give birth to two little princesses, even if they were twins of a boy and a girl.

Kangxi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I don't want others to know what Liu Yuyi said. You must keep your mouth shut, especially for Concubine Xi."
