Qing court ladies

Chapter 21
"Long live, the fourth elder brother is here," Li Dequan reported outside the door.

"Let him in." Kangxi got up and let Suyue arrange his clothes.

Yinzhen bowed his head and entered the door, stepped forward and knelt down, "My son pays homage to Huang Ama, Huang Ama is auspicious"

"Get up, it's not easy for you these days, but you're tired." Kangxi sat up straight, looking at Yinzhen with distressed eyes.

"I can't replace the queen mother and concubine, I'm already incompetent, I'm very happy to be able to accompany the queen mother and concubine." Yinzhen didn't get up, and knelt down on one knee to reply, Xu was really tired, his voice Some hoarse.

Kangxi sighed, "Get up, come and sit beside me"

"Xie Huang Ama" Yinzhen got up and sat beside Kangxi, Linxiang brought iced plum soup to Yinzhen.

"My servant greets the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother is auspicious." Su Yue put on her fan before meeting Yinzhen.

Yinzhen had already seen Suyue, his eyes were tired, but because of Kangxi's presence, Yinzhen did not dare to act presumptuously, so he could only cry out calmly.

"Thank you fourth elder brother, maidservant." Su Yue took another fan and fanned the two of them with each hand.Seeing that Yin Zhen was fine despite his pain and fatigue, Su Yue finally felt relieved, but she still couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.

"Fourth, you are thirteen this year and have grown up. I hope you will be filial and take care of yourself because of filial piety. Don't let go of your studies and riding and shooting." Kangxi pointed to the soup bowl and signaled Yinzhen drink some.

"My son knows." Yinzhen put down the bowl after entering a little, "My son will definitely not disappoint the expectations of Emperor Ama and Queen Mother."

"Okay, let's go see your imperial concubine." Kangxi waved his hands, but did not let Yinzhen salute.

"Suyue, come here, I'm tired." Kangxi watched Yinzhen go out of the palace gate and lay down on the couch.

Apart from her shoes, Su Yue sat on the couch, put Kangxi's head on her lap, and pressed her cold hands against Kangxi's forehead and cheeks, "Long live Lord, please rest for a while." Suyue didn't see Kangxi's fatigue, but she and Kangxi There is something in the middle, even if you have no sense, you can't get close.What's more, Suyue resisted Kangxi's approach from the bottom of her heart, even more so than before. Such a relationship between the two of them was a kind of torture for Suyue, but Suyue couldn't say that.

Kangxi put his hand on the back of Suyue's hand, gave a grace, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On the ninth day of July in the 28th year of Kangxi, Kangxi decreed that Tong Jia, the imperial concubine, was conferred the title of empress.The queen died the next day and was posthumously named "Queen Xiaoyi". This was the third queen of Kangxi to die.

Palace Suhao and Suyue were detained by Kangxi's order to rest in the room, seeing Qiuxi come in with the sackcloth in her arms, her expression hurt, but she still couldn't escape after all.

"Qiu Xi, how is the fourth elder brother?" Su Yue got up and put on plain clothes, and asked Qiu Xi.

"I don't know." Qiu Xi stepped forward to help Su Yue fasten the white hemp around her waist, her face full of sadness.

Su Yue didn't care about these messy things, and told Qiu Xi to stay well, and walked quickly towards Chengqian Palace.Before the Queen's coffin, Yinzhen knelt in linen and filial piety, her thin body straightened up, Suyue felt a pain in her heart, Yinhu knelt with Yinzhen, her eyes were red, and she looked at Yinzhen with concern.

"Suyue" Li Dequan looked at Suyue, and pulled Suyue softly, "Long live God is here, you should also be more vigilant."

Su Yue was distracted by Yinzhen, she didn't even notice that Kangxi was there, Su Yue hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Slave and servant please greet Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord is auspicious"

"Come on, let's go see Yinzhen." Kangxi waved his hand and asked Li Dequan to help him leave. How could he hide his grief?
Suyue didn't care about Kangxi, and hurried forward to see Yinzhen, but the prince, Gege, and concubines were kneeling in front of the coffin, Suyue was so abrupt that she didn't dare to approach her for a while, let alone Yinzhen at this time With a sudden change in her status, Su Yue really didn't dare to cause trouble for Yinzhen, she stepped forward and knelt behind Yinzhen in a polite manner, "Si elder brother, my servant please forgive me for the fourth elder brother"

Yinzhen just gave a thank you, and Yinhu glanced behind her, signaling Suyue to leave quickly.

Su Yue was helpless and heartbroken, but she just respectfully kowtowed to the first queen, turned around and left, and as soon as she left the palace gate, Qiu Xi hurried over, panting and said, "Auntie, Long Live Lord is ill, Mr. Li told you to hurry up!" go back"

Su Yue's mind exploded, everything came together, Yinzhen was enough for her to worry and worry, Kangxi was sick again at this time, Su Yue was busy taking Qiu Xi back to Qianqing Palace, eunuchs and maids in the palace came and went , Su Yue hurried in.

Kangxi had a high fever and fell asleep on the bed in Dongnuange. Li Dequan was standing beside him, and the imperial physician was in the room, making diagnosis and treatment.

"Director Li, how is Long Live?" Su Yue stepped forward, pulled Li Dequan's sleeve and asked.

Li Dequan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Suyue's voice, and the anxiety in his eyes subsided a little, "Suyue, Lord Long Live has been calling for you, go and see Lord Long Live!"

Su Yue was puzzled, she was sick and told her what to do, and she was not an imperial physician, but Su Yue still stepped forward and knelt on Kangxi's bedside, Kangxi's face was flushed, brows were wrinkled, sweat dripped down.

"Qiuxi, go prepare a basin of water, put some ice cubes, and bring it with a towel." The people in Qianqing Palace are either not familiar with Suyue, or their seniority is higher than Suyue, and the only one who can order her is Qiuxi.

Qiuxi quickly prepared the things and knelt beside Suyue. Suyue twisted a towel and covered Kangxi's head to cool down Kangxi physically.

"Long Live God occasionally feels cold and sad, so I will prescribe a prescription now." Imperial Physician Wu is Kangxi's exclusive imperial physician. After the diagnosis and treatment, he was busy reporting to Su Yue, and then prescribed a prescription for people to grab the medicine, and took the imperial physician away.

"Suyue, Lord Long Live is sick now, and there is no one around to watch him. Our family wants to report it, but we don't know who to report it to." Li Dequan knelt beside Kangxi's bed, tears streaming down his face.

The empress dowager has gone, the empress dowager has gone a few years ago, empress Hesheli, and even empress Tong Jia have left, there is really no one around Kangxi, except for Li Dequan who really loves him, he is really a lonely person .

Li Dequan knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yue, "I beg you, Lord Long Live needs you"

Su Yue was busy helping Li Dequan, but how could a little girl help Li Dequan? What is the Lord Long Live doing?"

Li Dequan shook his head and retorted excitedly, "You are different, you will definitely not"

Su Yue gave a bleak smile, "Boss Li thinks highly of me, Su Yue is also a human being, she can't stand the temptation if she is a human being, she will make mistakes in the end, and she will deviate from the original track"

"Li Dequan, water," came Kangxi's weak voice.

Li Dequan hurriedly got up to serve tea, while Su Yue knelt beside Kangxi's bed and asked, "How is Long Live?"

Kangxi held Suyue's hand, raised his head slightly, drank some water, and then said, "I'm fine, you all go down, it's good that Suyue stays with me."

"Slave (servant) resigns." Li Dequan took Qiu Xi and retreated.

"Come up, rest with me." Kangxi moved his body and let Suyue sleep next to him. Kangxi hugged Suyue, pressed his hot forehead against Suyue's forehead, snorted contentedly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Su Yue didn't know if Kangxi heard her words, and she didn't know the consequences of this. Concubine Tong's words lingered in her ears, and Su Yue was discouraged. Su Yue asked herself, she was really incapable.Then the only thing she can do is to stay in a corner, but she has such thoughts, can others tolerate her?Could a court lady make them so uneasy?And Qiu He, why did she do this?Persecuted, or something else?The more Su Yue thought about it, the more confused she became, but she couldn't find a clue.

In Suyue's confusion, Li Dequan walked in with a medicine bowl, and whispered in Suyue's ear, "Suyue, Long Live Lord, it's time to drink the medicine."

"En..." Su Yue stood up lightly, and when Su Yue moved, Kangxi also opened his eyes, looking at the medicine bowl in Li Dequan's plate, and with Su Yue's strength, he got up and leaned on the pillow.After taking the medicine bowl and drinking it, Su Yue handed Kangxi the mouthwash, and then handed the candied fruit to Kangxi.

Kangxi was taken aback, "I am not a child"

Su Yue smiled helplessly, put the candied fruit back, and followed Li Dequan to take the things out.The windows in the Nuan Pavilion were all open, and the ice was withdrawn. Kangxi drank the medicine, and because Suyue had a short rest with Suyue, he was still in good spirits, got up and went to sit on the couch, and ordered Li Dequan to take the memorial and review it stand up.
