Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 8

Because of Kangxi's words, Wang Miheng washed and changed his clothes again after returning home, and after a lot of tossing, the garden was already full of lights.In fact, she was very entangled with these bathing habits of the ancients. After much deliberation, she finally concluded that it was because the person she wanted to see was the emperor, otherwise, she was really crazy to toss herself so hard.

Wang Miheng looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

In fact, besides being a little nervous, she was a little happy to be in the same room with Kangxi alone.After all, there are very few opportunities like this. If we can exchange feelings, Kangxi will not forget that there is someone like her so quickly, and when he returns to the palace in the future, life will not be too sad.

As for some of the things she worries about, isn't there an old saying?The first time she was born and the second time she was acquainted, let her be the price she must pay to please Kangxi.

Alas, the royal family is indeed a place where people can be tempered.

Coming out of the room, Wang Miheng took a deep breath. Tonight, there might be another tough battle to fight.If she could, she must be full, but it's a pity that all of this is not possible!

I don't know if Kangxi really defined her as his "new favorite". Anyway, she got a big favor tonight, that is, to have dinner with Kangxi.

Without the emperor's will, no one, including the queen, can eat with the emperor.However, when the emperor is in a good mood or wants to cultivate a relationship with a certain concubine, he can give him a gift to accompany him to eat together. It is a great favor to be able to bathe in this kind of emperor's grace.

However, even if she thought about it with her toes, she knew that this dinner must be very miserable. The more specific explanation for this kind of thing is to accompany you to eat carefully. What's more, this big boss is still an emperor, so she Just be more careful.

When Wang Miheng arrived, the dinner was ready, and Kangxi changed into ordinary clothes and sat at the table as if waiting for a long time. Seeing this scene, Wang Miheng really felt a little uneasy.

Obviously she left very early, but now it seems that she is late. Could it be that she is so unlucky that accidents keep happening as soon as she hits Kangxi?
Wang Miheng was troubled: what does Kangxi mean by this? In this situation, does she want to plead guilty or plead guilty?

"The concubine is late, please forgive me." This idea turned in her mind, and Wang Miheng immediately knelt down to apologize.

In fact, the more you do things like kneeling, the less pressure you will have.Besides, it's not surprising that there are many people who are polite, she doesn't want to be defined by Kangxi as a woman who doesn't understand etiquette.

You know, the people who are emperors are very cold, everything is right when they care about you, and everything is wrong when they don't care about you.What's more, Kangxi is such a poisonous person. The eighth elder brother's biological mother and concubine served him all his life, and in the end he only got the five words "Xinzheku bitch". thing?
Although Wang Miheng knew that Kangxi would never be angry because of her late arrival, because everyone knew that he had prepared early.But who the hell knows if he will give her a charge of impoliteness in a flash of his brain at some point?
Hehe... She felt that she would be more at ease in killing this possibility in the cradle.

"You don't need to be so restrained. I remember that you gave me a look when I first saw you, which shows that you are quite courageous, Mier." Kangxi was obviously in a good mood, and joked with a smile, and even helped her up with his own hands.

Hearing the ridicule in Kangxi's words, Wang Miheng would not foolishly pretend to be that boring wooden man, and immediately said half-truthfully: "The concubine offended the emperor unintentionally, but fortunately the emperor did not tell the matter. The concubine's father, otherwise the father will use the family law."

When she said this, her face suddenly became lively and lively, just like when he first saw her.

Kangxi glanced at her and said with a smile, "Oh, is that so? I've heard people say that Wang Guozheng is very fond of his only daughter."

"That's because the ministers and concubines made small mistakes in their daily life, otherwise it would have been miserable." Why did Wang Miheng feel that Kangxi's eyes were full of gossip?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Kangxi continue to ask: "If Mier makes a mistake, how should I deal with it?"

Kangxi's question... made her feel very tangled.

In fact, he went around, just wanted to ask this question, right?

However, it's not up to her to decide what to do with it!Besides, what a coincidence, Kangxi, you asked some unknown question, as if she was sure that she would make a mistake.

"Uh... The concubine thinks that even if the concubine makes a mistake, it won't be a big mistake. At that time, the emperor will just deal with it according to the palace rules." Wang Miheng thought for a long time before he could utter a word.

This question is actually not complicated, but it makes people feel a little awkward, as if he is a big parent, and she is a child who has just started school, and the two are agreeing on what kind of punishment they should get for what kind of mistakes they made.

Is this... what?Wang Miheng replied with some helplessness.

Seeing Wang Miheng's unease, Kangxi laughed: "I've remembered Mier's words, come, come and eat." Kangxi stretched out his hand and pulled her to the seat, and then put a pair of silver inlaid jade The chopsticks were placed in her hands.

This kind of intimacy almost scared Wang Miheng to death. If Kangxi, who had just been in power, did such a thing, she would think it was understandable, but don't forget that now Kangxi is already a middle-aged man with an extremely imperial demeanor.

What he showed in front of her was majesty and dignity, even if he was gentle, there was more or less alienation in that gentleness. These were all his instincts as an emperor.

Therefore, this series of actions by Kangxi really frightened Wang Miheng.

But it was also at this time that Wang Miheng learned for the first time at a close distance, how big the emperor's meals should be.
Wang Miheng watched as the eunuch serving food first used a silver needle to check whether the dish was poisonous, and then took a small bite to confirm that it was not poisonous, and then put the dish on the plate under Kangxi's signal.

Well, this time, Wang Miheng was finally convinced that those rumors were true.No matter which dish, the emperor can't eat three mouthfuls in a row, no matter how delicious the dish is.

It is said that this is a family rule handed down from the ancestors, which is called "no more than three spoons of food is allowed".

But, eating like this is really aggrieved, isn't it?

Wang Miheng sighed softly in his heart: It turns out that being an emperor also has sufferings of being an emperor!No wonder the emperor's temperament is so volatile.If someone tells her that you are not allowed to say what you like to eat in the future, you can eat whatever you have, and you can only eat three bites, she will also be fried!
Although she was very hungry, seeing this way of eating, Wang Miheng decidedly lost her appetite.

"I heard that Mi'er likes to read, what kind of books do you read on weekdays?" Kangxi asked with a smile.

Thinking about the books he read, how could Wang Miheng dare to tell the truth?Women in ancient times could only read books such as "Four Books for Women", "Nv Commandments", "Internal Training" and "Biography of Martyrs". She was afraid that if she told the truth, Kangxi would be dragged down and chopped down on the spot.

After thinking for a while, Wang Miheng replied with a smile: "The concubine only reads "Nvjie" and "Four Books" on weekdays."

"Mi'er has read these, but do you know how to write the four characters of the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Kangxi's gaze stayed on Wang Miheng's face, and hearing these words, Wang Miheng's heart skipped a beat, it's over!

Sure enough, Big Boss Kangxi is not easy to deceive, but this is obviously the most perfect answer!

Wang Miheng was not sure what kind of answer Kangxi wanted to hear, but looking at his deep eyes, he also knew that he had to tell a part of the truth honestly.

"Your Majesty forgive me, my concubine didn't mean to deceive me, but my concubine read some unofficial biographies, which might spoil the emperor's hearing." Wang Miheng pretended to be cautious and uneasy, and replied cautiously with blinking eyes.

"This sentence seems to be the truth. If you read "The Female Ring", you won't be causing trouble all day." Hearing her answer, Kangxi didn't seem to be angry, but his smile deepened .

With a bitter face, Wang Miheng asked back weakly: "May the emperor tell you when the concubine caused trouble?" Seeing Kangxi's appearance, Wang Miheng cursed secretly in his heart, but in fact he was just making fun of her. Yes or no?

Wang Miheng's guess was right, but she couldn't disturb Kangxi's interest, not only that, but she had to pretend to be innocent and weak to increase Kangxi's fun.

Well, the emperor's concubine is actually used to amuse him when he is interested. After thinking for a long time, Wang Miheng can only sigh in his heart to comfort himself. Fortunately, she can still use it to amuse himself. no?
Looking at the smile gradually filling the eyes of the man in front of him, Wang Miheng felt that he seemed to have taken such a small step forward on the road to please Kangxi.
