"How did you carry the sedan chair? You've startled Her Majesty! Hurry up and go back to the palace!" Furong immediately got into character, while Wanyi lazily leaned back, groaning in pain.
Not long after, Physician He took Wanyi's pulse, prescribed medicine to prevent miscarriage, and advised Wanyi to stay home as much as possible recently, as she was just startled and there was nothing seriously wrong.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty enjoy a long and healthy life!" Upon hearing that Wanyi had gone into labor, Kangxi hurriedly came to Yongshou Palace.
"Get up! How did you serve your mistress? How could you have startled her?" Kangxi angrily lashed out at Furong and the others, scolding them without giving them a chance to speak.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. The imperial physician also said that as long as I don't go out and get startled again, everything will be fine." She didn't even have any problems with the pregnancy.
"It's good that you're alright. You haven't been out for a walk lately. It's rare for you to go out with Consort Chun. Did you have a good time?" Kangxi was still tolerant of Wanyi. Perhaps he wasn't before, but he was now.
"I'm quite happy, but Consort Chun didn't listen to advice and got scratched by a cat. That's why I had Xiao Dengzi bring some medicinal herbs over. Now that Your Majesty knows, may I ask you for something?" Wanyi suddenly asked Kangxi, without mentioning how she was so shocked. Since she was able to find out who did it, Kangxi probably knew even better. Since he couldn't punish her, Wanyi had to suffer in silence.
"You got scratched. What do you need?" Kangxi thought to himself, and then told someone to go to the storeroom and get a good scar-removing cream to send to Consort Chun.
"I heard that His Majesty has a bottle of Jade Snow Scar Removal Cream. I wonder if it could be bestowed upon Consort Chun? Her delicate little hands would not look good if they were scarred."
Wanyi spoke in a coquettish tone. It wasn't that Wanyi really wanted to ask for the ointment for Consort Chun, but since Kangxi already knew about it, if she didn't react at all as his good friend, wouldn't that be telling others that there was something fishy going on?
"I was wondering what one of mine you had your eye on this time! I was on guard, but I didn't expect you to come here to ask for medicine for Consort Chun. But the Jade Snow Scar Removal Cream is priceless, so how could I give it to you? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss? Tell me if you can offer something in exchange, then I'll give it to you." Kangxi was clearly saying that he wouldn't give it to her unless she offered something in exchange, but he was just teasing Wanyi.
"Your Majesty, what haven't you given me? Even my child was given to me by you. What good things could I possibly have that you would want?" Wanyi didn't want someone destined to die to use such expensive things. She was just asking. If Kangxi gave it to her, then it was Chunpin's due.
"Yes! I have taken a liking to Wan'er. Will Wan'er fall in love with me?" Kangxi regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. He was the emperor. Who would dare to say they didn't love him? That would be courting death!
"Love! In my entire life, I have only met four men, and Your Majesty is the one I love the most." Wanyi sat up straight and said sincerely.
"Four men?" Kangxi exclaimed excitedly, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, what kind of outrageous words is Consort Wan uttering?"
"Yes! My father, my eldest brother, and my second brother, before I entered the palace, I thought they were the best, the most handsome, the best young men in the world!" As soon as Wanyi finished speaking, Kangxi, who was jealous, was relieved. He thought that Wan'er had fallen in love with the sons of other banners outside the palace.
"It wasn't until I entered the palace that I discovered there were people more handsome and talented than Father and my brothers." Wanyi spoke softer and softer, but since the two were sitting close together, Kangxi heard every word she said.
"That's right. I am the only one of my kind in the world. Wan'er, as long as you stay true to your original intentions and don't scheme against me, I will always protect you."
Kangxi did not want Wanyi to maintain her kind heart, but rather for her to love him and not scheme against him. He had seen too much intrigue and backstabbing in the harem; today's sisters could be tomorrow's life-or-death struggles.
"I will. Your Majesty treats me so well, so of course I will treat Your Majesty well in return." Wanyi met Kangxi's eyes firmly.
"I am delighted with her!" Kangxi looked at Wan'er before him, his eyes reflecting his own image, nothing else mattered. A girl whose eyes were only for him was truly moving.
After having dinner, Kangxi left Yongshou Palace. He did not stay anywhere else. If he did not leave Yongshou Palace, he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for Wan'er. If he went to other concubines, wouldn't that hurt Wan'er's feelings? So Kangxi simply returned to Qianqing Palace.
"My lady, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Lexin came in carrying a bowl of something and saw Consort Chun silently looking at her wound.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it wouldn't be good if my beautiful hands were left with scars."
Consort Chun deeply regretted her actions. Why did she have to go and bandage the cat's wounds herself? With so many eunuchs around, how could it have been her turn, a mere concubine, to do it? She had truly been blinded by these beautiful things.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The imperial physician only said there might be a scar, but it's not certain that a scar will actually form. Here, this is freshly stewed bird's nest." Lexin placed a bowl of bird's nest in front of Consort Chun.
"Blood bird's nest, why did you suddenly decide to stew this?" She had just seen blood today, and now she didn't want to see this red stuff at all.
"When the Empress Dowager heard that you were injured, she sent over bird's nest soup. She instructed me to make sure you ate it all, as it is good for replenishing blood."
The Empress Dowager doesn't even know she's injured yet! Lexin is just bringing up the Empress Dowager so that Consort Chun will eat this bowl of bird's nest soup.
"So that's how it is! Then I'll guess! I wonder how Consort Wan is doing, whether she frightened the baby in her womb?" Consort Chun said, stirring the blood bird's nest with her uninjured left hand.
"Don't worry, my lady. Furong, who serves Consort Wan, just came by and brought a lot of medicinal herbs." When Furong arrived, it was Lexin who went to receive her.
"She has a conscience. Without me, she wouldn't have the glory she has today. It is her greatest blessing that I can raise her child."
Actually, Consort Chun was genuinely fond of Consort Wan at first. It's just that Consort Wan was so favored that not only were the other concubines jealous, but Consort Chun was jealous too! Why could Consort Wan have everything, but she, Borjigit Guozhen, couldn't?
"My lady, with the Empress Dowager's help, we will definitely succeed." Le Xin thought to herself, but she was not convinced. How could Consort Chun not know how she was going to die! She still wanted to scheme against her master. It seems that she won't be smug for long.
"Thank you for your kind words. Once I have a prince, you will go and serve him. I don't trust anyone else."
After finishing her sentence, Consort Chun ignored Lexin and focused on eating the bird's nest. She seemed to think that the bird's nest tasted different and was a little fishy, but she didn't take it seriously and just thought it was undercooked.
