The palace is in an uproar!

Consorts who enter the palace usually cannot leave. What kind of background does Hesheli Mingxiu, who was made a consort as soon as she entered the palace, have that allows her to leave the palace, and even has the emperor accompany her?

Chengqian Palace

When Consort Tong heard that the Emperor had left the palace with Consort Ming, her face instantly turned gloomy.

"Outrageous! What is this Empress doing? The Emperor has already left the palace with his entourage, and she doesn't even care!" Consort Tong slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

The palace maids serving below quietly lowered their heads, not daring to be noticed by Consort Tong at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor may have had important matters to attend to, which is why he took Consort Ming out with him. Please don't be angry yet, let's find out the situation first," the maidservant beside him advised cautiously.

A crisp 'snap' sound rang out

The maid trembled, and a shattered teacup lay at her feet.

"Hmph, what do you mean by important business? The Emperor has never taken a concubine out of the palace. What's the deal with this new Consort Ming? Have the family investigate and get to the bottom of this." Consort Tong was so angry that her face turned pale.

Such a thing has never happened before. The Emperor has never been particularly attentive to his concubines. Even with her, the Emperor only showed her leniency because of their childhood friendship.

Unexpectedly, this newly arrived woman has won the Emperor's exclusive favor for nearly a year, and was even granted the rank of Consort upon entering the palace. Today, he even took her out of the palace with him.

"This wretched woman dares to compete with me for my cousin; I will not let her get away with this."

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. You see, Consort Ming has been so high-profile this time. Not only us, but the Empress Dowager will not let her off easily either. We just need to observe the situation from the sidelines." A maid quietly walked up behind Consort Tong and gently stroked her forehead, saying this.

Upon hearing this, Consort Tong's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange. She recalled that when she first entered the palace, the Emperor had only stayed in Chengqian Palace for a few more days before that old woman Fei went to see the Emperor.

This time it's even more outrageous, and the Empress Dowager will certainly not stand for it.

Thinking this, Consort Tong's expression softened slightly, and she closed her eyes to enjoy the massage from the nanny.

Although she did not like the Empress Dowager, she now loathed Hesheli Mingxiu even more. Letting the person she hated deal with the person she hated even more, and reaping the benefits herself, wouldn't that be wonderful?

snort!

"Even so, I still can't swallow this insult. How has the Empress been feeling lately?" Consort Tong asked with her eyes closed and her tone ambiguous.

"I heard he's doing well; he even went out for a stroll yesterday," the nanny replied softly.

"Very good. It seems that I will have to pay my respects this time. I must see for myself what kind of enchanting woman this Hesheli Mingxiu is."

As they were talking, no one noticed the palace maid who was cleaning up the broken porcelain shards on the ground, a sly glint in her eyes.

The commotion wasn't limited to just one place within the palace; cries of alarm echoed from all directions. Some were curious, some were inquiring, some were cursing, and others remained indifferent.

For example, Consort Hui, who is currently throwing a tantrum in the palace, has broken more than one set of teacups.

By the window

Yinti, who had been silently listening to his mother's angry scolding, suddenly turned his eyes and slipped out with the little eunuch serving him.

Kunning Palace

The Empress listened calmly to the reports from her subordinates, her expression unchanged, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone too far. Should we intervene in this matter?" The Empress's maidservant spoke indignantly.

The Empress shook her head: "It doesn't matter who the Emperor favors, it's none of our business in the palace. I'll go see the Empress Dowager later and see how she decides to handle this."

Ha, she wants to manage it? How can she manage it? What can she do with her broken body?

Fortunately, this Consort Ming was still able to compete for the Emperor's favor with the Tong family, preventing her from running rampant in the palace.

The palace intrigues have not yet affected Mingxiu. She only felt unusually tired. She didn't feel it when she was shopping, but now that she was sitting in the carriage, she suddenly felt sore back and aching waist.

Since it was just her and Kangxi in the carriage, there was no need to worry too much. Mingxiu buried her head in Kangxi's arms and curled up in his embrace.

She whine and complains that she's tired.

Kangxi held the little woman in his arms, gently stroking Mingxiu's back with one hand to comfort her.

However, he did not speak, and his expression was not good.

Fortunately, Mingxiu knew he was in a bad mood and didn't want to provoke him. Besides, she was also tired, so the two quietly embraced each other.

A tranquil peace permeated the air.

Outside the car, Liang Jiugong quietly sat down, carrying something as turbulent as a storm in his arms as he headed back.

I wonder who will be unlucky this time. Sigh!

When she returned to the palace, Mingxiu had recovered. She had her things sent back and went back to her room.

When Green Bamboo saw Mingxiu return, she hurriedly went to greet her.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back! Didn't the Emperor come back with you?"

Mingxiu waved her hand, directing people to sort the items and then send them to Yinreng and Yinti, leaving the rest for them to choose from.

Then he ignored them and went straight back to his room, without needing anyone to help him wash up.

Back inside, she closed the door and entered the room in one swift motion. Only when she was soaking in the bathtub did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's true that wealth makes people decadent. Back in the day, I could walk around all day in high heels without batting an eye, but now I'm already so tired after just a short while.

Recalling the events of the day, Mingxiu didn't care that Kangxi hadn't returned with him. It would be strange if he had come back with Mingxiu after she had revealed such big news to him today.

Besides, Kangxi planted such a huge landmine for her, so she had to think about how to deal with it.

Tomorrow is probably going to be unsettling!

well!

In fact, she was not unaware that going out with Kangxi today would definitely cause chaos in the palace, and that Consort Tong, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager would all have objections.

but!

Please!

No one can resist the temptation to go out and have fun, especially Mingxiu, who is a modern person and has never gone out to play since coming here. When she suddenly heard that she could go out, she couldn't resist at all.

So even though she knew there would definitely be trouble when they returned, she still followed Kangxi without hesitation.

well

Consort Tong wasn't afraid, and the Empress was alright too, but it was unclear what the Empress Dowager would say.

I knew she had been in the palace for over three years, but she hadn't actually seen the Empress Dowager many times.

Mingxiu was indeed somewhat afraid of this woman who wavered between Huang Taiji and Dorgon.

Emperor Kangxi will probably say something good about her to the Empress Dowager, since she's being used as a shield today.

Although he didn't say it, Mingxiu knew that Kangxi wouldn't accompany her out specifically.

I knew men's feelings were unreliable.

That's when they started using her.

Mingxiu frowned.

Oh well, it's all tomorrow anyway, I should just get some rest today.

Imagine taking a relaxing shower with shower gel, then applying fragrant body lotion and expensive skincare products.

Mingxiu happily touched the skincare product. This skincare product was top-of-the-line in her world, something she couldn't afford. It was something that a working-class person like her didn't deserve, so she had never used it.

I never thought I'd be able to use it now.

hey-hey

After tidying up, I went out of the room to have a nice night's sleep.

Let's talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.
