Chapter 97 Deep Affection Between Husband and Wife
Fanghua, who was watching the father and son playing around, smiled with satisfaction and said with a laugh, "You're not so bad after all, you have some conscience."
"Your Majesty, Chenghu is the most kind-hearted. I'll give all the pastries to you." As he spoke, he secretly took out the pastries he had hidden away.
Seeing the crumbs of the pastry, Fanghua was filled with helplessness.
After all, she felt very embarrassed at that moment.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she wasn't giving him food, that he had to hide it to eat.
Sure enough, she met a pair of teasing eyes.
Fanghua blushed; this son was no good.
"Your Majesty, I think Chenghu is a brat who needs to be disciplined. Why don't you take him away and teach him a lesson for a couple of days?"
If he dares to embarrass her, then let him taste what it's like to be raised by his father.
"Alright, Chenghu wants to go play with Father Emperor." The little guy doesn't know what's good for him yet. When he heard his mother telling him to go with the invincible Father Emperor, he was naturally willing.
Emperor Kangxi also doted on the mother and son, saying, "Alright, Fang'er has been very busy lately, so I'll help you take care of the child."
"Then I thank Your Majesty." Fanghua rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
After playing around, the couple returned to their bedroom.
After changing their clothes, the two lay on the bed. Kangxi embraced the Empress and said with great emotion, "In the blink of an eye, Chenghu has grown up so much. Fang'er, after the mourning period, let's give Chenghu another younger brother."
Not knowing what had gotten into this man again, Fanghua raised her head, placed her jade hand on his chest, and met his gaze. "Your Majesty, do you feel that there are too few offspring in the harem?" She hid a hint of heartache in her eyes, but she concealed it very well.
She thought he wouldn't notice, but little did she know, he saw everything in her eyes.
"Fang'er, that's not what I meant. I just want to have more children with you." Afraid that she might overthink things, Kangxi quickly comforted her, lest she misunderstand.
As she listened to his explanation, the pain in Fanghua's eyes slowly faded, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
Emperor Kangxi felt very sorry for her when he saw her like this.
The Empress had accompanied him through many hardships, and he had always suppressed her because of certain things, which made him feel a little guilty.
"Fang'er, how are you?"
Fanghua readily agreed, "Alright, I'll do whatever Your Majesty says."
That night, the couple slept in each other's arms, and of all the years they had shared a pillow, only last night was the most tender.
Fanghua thought the mourning period would pass quietly, but unexpectedly, the person in Jingyang Palace gave her a huge surprise.
"Is what you said true?" Fanghua looked at Li Changfu below with disbelief.
Li Changfu dared not speak carelessly about such a thing. “Your Majesty, how could this servant dare to lie to you? Noble Lady Yehenara did indeed take the fertility-enhancing medicine.”
Previously, Yehenara's aloof and unassuming nature caused everyone to overlook her.
Fanghua noticed something different about this person by chance, so she asked Li Changfu to keep an eye on him, intending to learn more about the situation of the people in the harem.
Unexpectedly, she discovered a big secret. Secrets are great; she loves secrets.
In her previous life, she learned many secrets after her death, but what good did it do now that she was dead?
But this life is different. She is alive, and since it is a secret, she naturally wants to find out more.
In the previous life, there was no Yehenara clan member in the harem, because her intervention changed the layout of the harem.
This unexpected turn of events forced her to be on guard, and unexpectedly, she caught a fish.
I just don't know how big this fish is.
"Do you know where she got these prescriptions?" The Yehenara clan has a glorious history, and if she really gets ahead, she might cause a lot of trouble in the future.
To avoid certain dangers, she felt she could intervene. Fortunately, Yehenara was not the original person, so changing her fate should not cause too much of a stir.
Li Changfu actually knew about this. "Your Majesty, it seems that it was sent into the palace by the Yehenara clan from outside the palace."
Fanghua became interested. "Oh, Yehenara clan has this ability? I really underestimated her." She thought the harem was under the control of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect there were still some who slipped through the net.
"Your Majesty, during the reigns of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, there were quite a few concubines from the Yehenara clan in the harem. Emperor Taizong was born to a Yehenara concubine." Although Li Changfu had not experienced that period, there were still many elderly people who had entered the palace from beyond the Great Wall. With a little inquiry, he could still learn some things about the past.
After Li Changfu's suggestion, Fanghua understood. Indeed, the glory of that family was something her Hesheli family could not compare to.
"Has she managed to bring all those people under her control?" If what Li Changfu said is true, then this Yehenara noblewoman has quite a network of connections.
Even so, she still had to be careful.
"This servant does not know, but there are probably quite a few people involved." Li Changfu only discovered this after investigating, and he was shocked by what he found.
“Your Majesty, when I was investigating Consort Yehenara, I may have alerted their people. I am guilty, please punish me.” Li Changfu immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness, remembering his suspicions.
Fanghua wouldn't blame her; it was because she hadn't thought things through that she allowed Yehenara to enter the palace.
If only she hadn't argued with the Empress Dowager back then, she wouldn't have brought so many people into the palace.
It was her fault, how could you blame him?
"It's alright, get up, but keep a close eye on our Kunning Palace." No matter how capable she is, a new emperor brings a new court, and she doesn't believe that an empress can't control a mere noblewoman like her.
I want to have a child.
Hehe, it depends on whether she agrees or not.
She could disregard people like the Dong family, but she absolutely could not allow them to have children.
Call her ruthless or vicious, but she would never create a situation where someone from her previous life would stand against her son.
People like Yinzhi should not exist.
"Can our people get access to her prescription?" Fanghua asked.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfu shook his head, "This servant is incompetent."
Fanghua was not disappointed. She knew that people like Yehenara were born into families that had trained and nurtured them. People whose backgrounds were unknown would not be kept around.
"It's alright, we don't need to worry about this anymore." Since they don't need it, let Xiao Feng handle it. She doesn't believe that Xiao Feng can't manage it.
After all, it was Niohuru who had Xiaofeng administer the pills that gave birth to a daughter back then. Unfortunately, Niohuru was unlucky and failed to keep the child.
However, after this incident, Fanghua placed even greater emphasis on training capable people. "Li Changfu, find someone you can trust. I have something to instruct you on." Things were still somewhat hindered in the palace, and she had to find another way.
When her sons grow up, they will all have to leave the palace to establish their own residences, so she will have to find some people outside the palace to help them.
Those guys, including Brother Nai, are no match for them.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will go and find someone for you right away." There's no one in the palace who wouldn't want to serve Her Majesty the Empress; even the lowly eunuchs of Kunning Palace have many who aspire to be favored by their mistress.
There are tons of people like that.
"Hmm, no rush. Remember to administer the medicine after someone is chosen." Granny Zhang has quite a few control pills. Although she can't control everyone in the harem, she can still manage a hundred or so people without any problem.
"yes."
