Chapter 93 Damage Transfer
"You can take it away from the Imperial Seal?" This was something Fanghua hadn't expected.
"As long as the master agrees, it can enter the space; however, only the consciousness will enter."
Fanghua was quite impressed. "Okay, then you can invite it along tonight."
After ending her conversation with Xiaofeng, Fanghua saw her son rummage through the box and take everything out.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find Xiao Feng, the girl he was looking for.
"How could there not be? Empress Dowager, please call Xiaofeng back, okay? I won't hit it anymore." Chenghu's eyes were a little red.
One was in pain because of his own pain, and the other was because he couldn't see Xiaofeng.
"Okay, Mother, I'll call it back later, okay? But you have to promise not to pluck its fur, okay?" Fanghua wiped away her son's tears and then asked him for a promise.
Chenghu looked surprised. "Empress Mother, how did you know I was going to pluck its feathers?" After saying that, he immediately covered his mouth, as if he had said something wrong.
It's clear that my earlier worries were all an act.
Well, the son even deceived his own mother.
"You little rascal, look how capable you are. Do you think your mother doesn't know how cunning you are?" she said, gently patting his head twice.
She really underestimated him; he's so young and already knows how to act. It really opened her eyes.
"Alright, let someone tidy this up. Mother, check if your wound has healed."
For Chenghu to remember this for so long, the wound must be quite deep.
But when she saw the wound, she was completely stunned.
Did Xiaofeng just have her blood drawn?
The wound is so fresh?
Xiangxia, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer and said to her mistress, "Your Majesty, the prince was accidentally injured while playing with the wooden sword today. It's just that the wound was overlapping, which is why Xiaofeng is to blame."
have to.
Son, this is a case of transferring harm.
Anyway, it wasn't his fault.
"You," Fanghua said with a helpless yet indulgent expression, "so young and yet so..." She was too embarrassed to say the word "shameless."
This is her son, her own son.
After playing around, the mother and son had lunch together.
Chenghu insisted that Fanghua stay with him for a nap, and they slept in the backyard before Fanghua returned to her own bedroom.
As soon as he returned, Li Changfu came to inform him.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent a decree that you will dine here tonight."
Fanghua frowned, unable to understand what the Emperor was trying to do.
Is he here to ask himself why he doesn't go to Cining Palace?
"Did they say when they would come?" Ever since she reconciled with herself, she began to accept Kangxi, but acceptance did not mean she trusted him completely.
It's normal to have doubts.
Li Changfu responded with a smile, "The messenger said His Majesty is craving the old duck soup that the Empress has made." His laughter was full of honor.
Fanghua was quite helpless. This person didn't want to drink old duck soup; they came to her seeking comfort.
I wonder if this time she'll be comforting him, or he'll be giving her a dressing down.
This emperor's life is truly rather frustrating.
"Alright, since His Majesty wants to drink it, then let Qiaoling stew it." Fanghua waved her hand dismissively, dismissing Li Changfu.
She disliked the close service of eunuchs and always felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Emperor Kangxi arrived early today. Because of the poisoning incident last time, she now has people fetch her meals from the Imperial Kitchen and no longer prepares them in her own palace.
Unless she was eating with Chenghu, she would have someone fetch food from the imperial kitchen whenever outsiders came to dine.
It's just in case.
When Kangxi arrived, the person from the imperial kitchen who was supposed to bring the food had not yet returned. After Fanghua finished her greetings, she smiled and grasped the large hand that was being extended to her.
"Your Majesty arrived early today; this servant hasn't brought the meal back yet," she explained, glancing at the empty dining table beside her.
Kangxi shook his head indifferently, "It's nothing, just wait a bit." He pulled her to sit down on a soft couch, "Fang'er, there are many things going on in the palace lately, so please take care of her. If you can, please take care of Ma Jia's side as much as possible. The mourning period for the Empress Dowager is not over yet, and I don't want anything else to happen."
Fanghua was startled upon hearing this. Ma Jia Shi, how long had it been since she paid attention to her? But considering that she was pregnant, she was afraid that person had already filed a complaint with the Emperor.
I just don't know who she offended.
"Your Majesty's words are indeed a fault. I have been recuperating in the palace recently and have neglected the management of the inner palace. But please tell me, Your Majesty, what has happened to Consort Ma Jia?"
If you want her to take the blame, you should see if she's willing to do it.
Perhaps it was because the Empress was not as compliant as before that Kangxi was momentarily speechless.
Looking at his complexion, which resembled a palette of colors, Fanghua softened her tone and said, "If Your Majesty is going to convict me, at least let me know what I have done wrong."
Seeing her like this, Kangxi regained a slight smile. "It was I who was anxious." Then he recounted the story of Consort Ma Jia.
It turned out that during the mourning period for the Empress Dowager, Lady Ma Jia had several miscarriages due to her weeping for the deceased. Not only that, she also started bleeding, and her pregnancy was in very bad shape.
During this time, Fanghua herself was still ill, so she naturally paid less attention to the concubines. As a result, after Ma Jia started bleeding again, she went to Emperor Kangxi and asked him to invite an imperial physician for her.
In the past, such matters were handled by the Empress, but now that they had reached Emperor Kangxi, he was naturally somewhat displeased.
From then on, Kangxi paid more attention to Lady Magiya, but it was precisely because of this that he saw the Empress's neglect of the inner palace.
After hearing this, Fanghua immediately bowed and apologized.
"In that case, it is indeed my fault. I shouldn't have fallen ill after the Empress Dowager passed away, and I shouldn't have held onto power in the palace during my illness. It's all my fault."
After she finished speaking, she was about to kneel down, but Kangxi could hear the grievance and anger in her words.
How could he really let her kneel down? He quickly helped her up, saying, "Fang'er, that's not what I meant. You didn't choose to be sick. What wrong have you done?"
After all, they had been husband and wife for many years, and he understood the Empress's character.
The Empress was not heartless; if she had truly known, she would not have let Lady Ma Jia go unpunished.
Now it seems that Lady Ma Jia was deliberately trying to sow discord between the Empress and the Emperor.
Emperor Kangxi was intelligent. Having grown up in the harem ruled by Consort Dong E, he had witnessed many dramas of vying for favor. After careful consideration, he understood Consort Ma Jia's intentions.
"Fang'er, I was a bit too hasty. You don't need to worry about Ma Jia. I've already had the imperial physicians keep an eye on her. If anything else happens, it's just that she's unlucky." Ever since the death of the eldest prince, he has indeed valued having offspring, but a child born to a confused person is unlikely to be very intelligent.
Thinking about these things, Kangxi became even less concerned about Lady Magia.
Fanghua finally smiled slightly. "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty." Ma Jia, very well. She wanted to see if this one was as covetous of the Empress's position as the previous Ma Jia.
Trying to scheme against her? Ha! Prepare to face her wrath.
The palace servants who were supposed to bring the meal arrived, and Fanghua, no longer wanting to argue with them, took the opportunity to bring up the topic of mealtime.
Kangxi probably felt he would lose face, so he agreed.
