The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 50

Hearing this, Liu Shengfang couldn't help widening her eyes, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "My Majesty, if Empress Xi is really pregnant with twins, I'm afraid she won't be able to hide it for a long time. After all, a woman with twins At the third month of pregnancy, the abdomen will look like other women who have had a single pregnancy for more than five months. If you insist that it is a single pregnancy, I am afraid that it will also cause criticism from everyone in the palace."

Kangxi recalled the peaceful sleeping face of Nian Xilan just now, raised his head and sighed softly, and said softly: "Hide it as long as you can. At least the first three months of pregnancy, don't let Concubine Xi know."

Liu Shengfang and the others hurriedly bowed to promise, and they all sighed in unison in their hearts: the only concubine in the harem who can be valued so much by the emperor is the only concubine Xi.After all, there are many concubines in the harem, and the emperor has many children.Even so, the emperor attached so much importance to her because she was pregnant, and Empress Xi was really extraordinary.

What's more, in the harem, there are many people who failed to advance to the throne even after giving birth to a younger brother. There are also concubines who cannot raise their children themselves due to their low status, and can only watch their own flesh and blood being adopted. For other high-ranking concubines, they can't see each other often, and they can't even listen to their children calling themselves mother-in-law.

Kangxi ordered Liu Shengfang to come to check Nian Xilan's pulse every day, and specifically told him that no matter what expensive medicinal materials or supplements he needed, he could go directly to Li Dequan to get them from the internal warehouse, but he must do his best to keep Nian Xilan and his belly The dragon fetus inside was safe and sound.

Liu Shengfang twitched her tongue inwardly, thinking that apart from treating the empress dowager, she had never seen the emperor be so magnanimous to other women in the harem!

However, Liu Shengfang, who knows well that nourishment needs to be taken in moderation, and that excess is too much, can only carefully observe Kangxi's face, and carefully use words to persuade him: "My Majesty, Empress Xi's body has been recuperated not long ago, and now she is very healthy. Besides If a pregnant woman has no other symptoms, she should use medicines carefully and take supplements carefully. After all, the medicine is three-point poisonous, and if the medicine is used improperly, it will cause harm to Empress Xi and the dragon fetus in her womb. Therefore, the slave recommends that food supplements be used as a supplement. Lord, if you take the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the servant regularly, you will surely be able to ensure that Empress Xi will give birth to an imperial heir safely."

Kangxi nodded, "It's so good. You can go to make the medicine now, and when Concubine Xi wakes up, it's time to take it."

Liu Shengfang quickly took the order, saluted Kangxi, and went to decoct the medicine herself.

Afterwards, Kangxi carefully asked Fang Wan and Fang Lin about what happened in Chuxiu Palace this morning.Fang Wan and Fang Lin hurriedly told Kangxi what happened after Mu Changzai came to Chuxiu Palace this morning, especially emphasizing that Mu Changzai deliberately put the light pink rouge he brought into Nianxi Lansheng Another case of the rouge box with the same color rouge.

After Fang Wan finished speaking, she presented the rouge box that she deliberately collected this morning to Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at the rouge box in front of him with a gloomy expression, and said to Li Dequan: "Take out some of this box of rouge immediately and send it to Liu Shengfang for inspection. Remember, change to another rouge box, and don't mention where you got the rouge from. And don't let other people know."

Li Dequan took the rouge box with both hands, and hurriedly ran away to run an errand.

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "When Mu Chang came to visit Concubine Xi this morning, whose idea was it to brew Biluochun to entertain Mu Changzai?"

Fang Wan couldn't figure out Kangxi's intentions, but she didn't dare to hide anything, "It's Empress Xi's intention to entertain Mu Changzai with Biluochun. However, all the tea leaves have always been kept by slaves, and Empress Xi has even kept the tea leaves. I don't know where..."

Fang Wan was worried that Kangxi would suspect that Nian Xilan was scheming, and thus hated Nian Xilan. In a hurry, she couldn't help but defend Nian Xilan, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Kangxi glanced at Fang Wan, and said lightly: "I didn't expect you to be loyal to Concubine Xi, and finally you are sincerely serving Concubine Xi as a master. This is very good!"

Kangxi's sharp gaze swept over Fang Lin and Fang Wan, "You must always remember that you must serve Concubine Xi as the main priority and serve Concubine Xi wholeheartedly. As long as you serve Concubine Xi well, it will naturally benefit the two of you." .”

Fang Wan and Fang Lin quickly nodded in agreement.

Fang Wan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and secretly blamed herself that although she was a little risky just now, she finally won the bet.It seems that the emperor really dotes on Empress Xi, but I don't know how long this eye-catching favor can last...

Kangxi was about to say something more, but suddenly he heard some noise in the bedroom.Kangxi's heart moved, and he quickly got up and walked into the bedroom, only to see that Nian Xilan had already sat up, hugging the brocade quilt with a dazed look.

It was the first time for Kangxi to see Nian Xilan in a daze, so he couldn't help laughing softly, "Little Misty, but you woke up? I heard from Fang Wan that you only used a little bird's nest porridge just now. I fell asleep indiscriminately. Wouldn’t it make our little Gege starve to death if it goes on like this?”

When Nian Xilan saw that Kangxi appeared in her bedroom at this time, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback, stared at Kangxi in amazement for a long while, blinked again, and finally came back to her senses.

Nian Xilan shrugged her slightly messy long hair in embarrassment, and said with red cheeks, "It's all because of my poor health, I fell asleep, and I couldn't get up in time to greet the holy driver... Why doesn't the emperor let Fang Wan What about calling my concubine to get up?"

Kangxi laughed softly, and said with a teasing smile: "It's all because I made you work so hard last night, which made you so tired. Seeing that you finally fell asleep, I planned to let you rest for a while, and then Would you be willing to wake you up?"
