Chapter 195 Interview
Kangxi took the person away.
No one, no one dared to stop it.
The journey was calm all the way, except for Kangxi, who was riding on his horse and would occasionally look back at the sedan chair behind him, as if he was confirming something.
Having seen Kangxi's expressionless appearance many times, it is rare to see him so worried and anxious at this moment, which is quite refreshing.
Fuquan and Changning looked at each other, both with surprise in their eyes.
After entering from the Daqing Gate, passing through the Taihe Gate, and finally the Qianqing Gate, Kangxi finally led the people back to the Qianqing Palace.
After settling Yuying in the west warm pavilion, Kangxi had other things to do and had to separate from Yuying temporarily.
Kangxi was busy worshiping heaven, earth and the ancestral temple.
Don't mention that it is not necessary to offer sacrifices to ancestors when appointing an imperial concubine. Is this not enough for Kangxi to break the precedent? Not a little, not even this little bit.
Anyway, no one can persuade our emperor now.
The civil officials and censors have all given up, so let the emperor do as he pleases.
Kangxi was indeed very happy.
At this moment, he completely forgot that what he did was against the ancestral rules. He couldn't wait to tell the ancestors of the Aisin-Gioro family that he had a good wife. As for whether those ancestors would be so angry about his actions that they would come back to life?
Kangxi didn't consider it at all.
Thus, Yuying became the only imperial concubine in the entire Qing Dynasty who was not the empress but was better than the empress.
In the later generations derived from this world, people still talk about it with great relish. They speculate that Emperor Kangxi gave Imperial Noble Consort Yuan Jin everything that was far better than the Empress, and even after his death, only Imperial Noble Consort Yuan Jin was buried with him, which shows how much he loved her.
Even after Imperial Noble Consort Yuan Jin passed away, Emperor Kangxi often referred to her as his only wife in his memoirs. But it is precisely because of this that later generations are even more confused as to why Emperor Kangxi did not make Imperial Noble Consort Yuan Jin his empress.
After paying homage to his ancestors, Kangxi couldn't wait to return to the West Warm Pavilion.
Even though Kangxi did not delay for a moment, when he returned to the palace, the dragon and phoenix candles had already been lit in the West Warm Pavilion, and the candle tears dripped and gathered on the candlesticks, indicating that it was already late. Yuying was sitting under the candlelight, and had already lifted her veil and even removed her phoenix crown.
When Kangxi came back and saw this, he was a little disappointed. He had been thinking about lifting the veil for Yuying himself.
As soon as Yuying saw the disappointment flashing across Kangxi's face, she knew what he was thinking. After all, she had been with Kangxi for so long, and she could guess at least 50% of Kangxi's expression.
Yuying sat on the couch, took out the veil that was originally covering her head from behind, and handed it to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, will you cover me with it?"
When Kangxi saw that the veil was still there, his eyes lit up and he immediately took it and covered Yuying's head with it.
Looking at Yuying sitting upright on the couch, Kangxi picked up the wedding scale beside him and carefully lifted the veil.
Yuying looked up at Kangxi and curved her eyes.
Kangxi was a little dazed. He looked at Yuying and suddenly said, "Aying, I have married you."
Yuying didn't expect Kangxi to suddenly say this, and only then did she understand why Kangxi insisted on lifting the veil for her.
Seeing Kangxi's sentimental feelings, Yuying couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and wanted to make Kangxi happy. "Yes, Your Majesty, you got me."
The fact is that you can be soft-hearted about anything, but you can never be soft-hearted about men. If you are soft-hearted about men, you will be the one who suffers.
The next day, Yuying almost didn't get out of bed. If it weren't for the princes and princesses coming to pay their respects to Yuying today, Kangxi probably wouldn't be willing to let go of Yuying, the piece of meat that was delivered to his mouth.
Logically, the concubines in the palace should also come to pay respect to Yuying. But Kangxi was now hoping that Yuying would not remember the concubines in his harem, so how could he let them run to Yuying to show their presence, so he only let them kowtow outside Yuying's Yongshou Palace as a greeting.
The princes and princesses who were going to meet today were directly received in the Qianqing Palace.
Yuying narrowed her eyes and let Luchen and others dress her up, looking depressed. On the other hand, Kangxi looked like a monster that had sucked the essence of people, and he was in high spirits.
With the help of several people, Yuying changed into the auspicious dress of an imperial concubine.
It's said to be the auspicious dress for the Imperial Noble Consort, but if you look closely, whether it's the bright yellow color that only the Empress can use, or the auspicious dragon and phoenix embroidered on the dress, none of it falls within the rules for the Imperial Noble Consort.
Kangxi waited on the side without showing any impatience.
When the men finally stopped, Kangxi walked forward and stood side by side with Yuying, who was dressed in her best.
Yuying was still a little uncomfortable, as she had never worn this color of clothing before. She lowered her head, tugged at her clothes, and asked Kangxi, "Does this look good on me?"
Kangxi looked at the person who was avoiding him in the mirror. He stretched out his hand to straighten Yuying's body and straightened her dress which had just been messed up by her. "Of course it looks good. Ah Ying looks very elegant in this dress. She looks majestic."
Majesty...?
Yuying looked at herself in the mirror, and Kangxi who was leaning over beside her, and she seemed to really see some of that aura in herself.
Yuying immediately straightened her chest and raised her head, stretched out a hand, and coughed lightly a few times, attracting Kangxi's attention.
Seeing that Kangxi didn't understand what she meant, Yuying raised her chin in the direction of her hand.
Kangxi laughed and let Yuying do whatever she wanted, and stretched out his hands to hold Yuying's hands.
Yuying put her hand on Kangxi's hand, very proudly, "Okay, let's go. Don't let the prince and others wait anxiously."
"What's wrong with letting them wait?" Kangxi frowned, as if he was reluctant to have his time with Yuying occupied.
Yuying glared at Kangxi, as if to say: Why are you so ignorant?
"Okay, Your Majesty, there are still many days to come, and we are not in a hurry for this moment." Yuying comforted.
These words touched Kangxi's heart, and the two of them went to the Qianqing Palace together.
When Yuying and Kangxi arrived, the Qianqing Palace was already full of people. They walked through the crowd and sat in the seats in the main hall.
Crown Prince Yinreng and the eldest prince Yinzhi, along with the rest of the princes and princesses, stood in two rows below.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces. In the end, the crown prince was the first to kneel down. "Your son pays homage to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be well."
Following the prince's action, everyone seemed to wake up and knelt down one after another. Yin'er stood behind Yinsi and saw that Yinsi seemed absent-minded, so he quietly tugged at his clothes.
Yinsi then managed to muster up his courage and knelt down with everyone else.
"Okay, everyone get up." Yuying accepted the greetings from everyone and noticed their little movements. Naturally, she also saw that Yinsi was absent-minded. She temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart and let Qingtao give out the things she had prepared for everyone.
Yuying treated everyone equally, giving jade pendants to the princes and jewelry to the princesses.
After the formal greetings, the group left. However, Yuying was still worried about Yinsi's strange behavior, so she did not stay in Qianqing Palace for long, but returned to her Yongshou Palace.
