Chapter 4 First Meeting
After waiting for a long time, Yuying still didn't chatter as usual. Zhang Jia stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yuying's eyes, "Sister... Sister... What's wrong with you?"
Yuying came back to her senses and smiled at the person in front of her, "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night, so I'm not very energetic."
"Well, sister, why don't you go back and rest for a while? Come back to accompany me when you feel better."
"No problem. I promised to accompany you to knitting today."
"Really? Then don't force yourself, sister. You can rest in my palace! Qiu Feng, quickly bring up the silk thread you didn't finish making the other day!"
"Sister, you must not leave today. You must stay with me for the whole day!"
"It just so happens that Concubine An gave me another recipe yesterday, saying it's good for the body. I've asked Qiuhua to go to the imperial kitchen and keep an eye on it. When it's ready and served, sister, please eat two more bowls."
Yuying's eyes went dark when she heard this. Speaking of which, since Concubine Zhang Jia became pregnant, she had no idea how many meals for pregnant women she had eaten here.
After drinking all these soups and drinks, Yuying felt that some parts of her body were about to undergo a secondary development.
"I..." Before Yuying could refuse, Zhang Jia said, "Sister is still too thin. You should eat more."
Yuying nodded with a sad face.
Concubine Zhang Jia was satisfied.
The two of them knitted together like this, occasionally chatting a few words, and time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Qiuhua, who went to the imperial kitchen, also came back with the cooked hot soup. Qingtao and Qiufeng set the table, and after they sat down, they savored the nourishing soup together.
Little did they know that at this moment, outside Changchun Palace, the sound of whips was heard, indicating that the emperor was near Changchun Palace.
"Liang Jiugong, have we reached the Changchun Palace ahead?" Kangxi, who had just come out from Concubine Yi's place in the Yikun Palace, was sitting on the dragon chariot, playing with the tourmaline in his hand nonchalantly, and asked.
"Your Majesty, we have indeed arrived at Changchun Palace." Liang Jiugong, as the chief eunuch beside the emperor, had some insight. "Your Majesty seems to have not seen Concubine An for a long time. Would Your Majesty like to stop by and see her?"
Liang Jiugong thought he had guessed the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't notice that Kangxi frowned slightly when he heard the word "Anpin". "I remember that Zhang Jia of Changchun Palace is about to give birth, right?"
"Your Majesty has a good memory. If you calculate the days, it is indeed soon. Does Your Majesty want to go and take a look?" Liang Jiugong asked again carefully.
"Then let's go and take a look." Nowadays, there are more and more children in the palace, and many of them can live there. Kangxi doesn't care too much about a concubine who is still pregnant and has not given birth yet. But today, when he passed by Changchun Palace, an idea came to Kangxi's mind, making him want to go in and take a look.
Aixinjuelu Xuanye ascended the throne at the age of eight, and it has been more than 20 years since then. Since he took power at the age of 14, he has fought against Oboi and pacified the Three Feudatories. The hardship in this process cannot be explained to outsiders. And in this process, his intuition that is different from ordinary people has also helped him a lot.
"Go to Changchun Palace--" is the unique voice of eunuchs.
The imperial carriage continued to move forward, and in a blink of an eye it arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace.
Kangxi got off the dragon chariot and strode into the Changchun Palace.
I would like to see what is so unusual about this Changchun Palace.
At this time, at the gate of the main hall of Changchun Palace, Concubine An, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Miao, who had received the news that the emperor was going to Changchun Palace, were already waiting there.
Concubine An stood aside, taking in the longing and shy looks of the two young concubines, and wondered in her heart why the emperor came to Changchun Palace at this moment.
After thinking it over fruitlessly, Concubine An could only stand aside with a submissive look on her face.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and asked everyone around him, "What did Wei agree to?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that he went to visit Concubine Zhang Jia." Nian Xue replied quickly.
"Why don't you call her to come and welcome you? Nianxue, go quickly!" This fool, don't think she doesn't know, she is going there to eat and drink for free again.
Nianxue hurried to the back hall.
But at this time, Kangxi had already arrived at the gate of the main hall of Changchun Palace.
"I, your concubine, pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Everyone, get up. I'm passing by and came to see Zhang Jia. Concubine An, you lead the way, and everyone else can go." Kangxi didn't even linger on her gaze, and left in a hurry with Concubine An.
The two young concubines were left heartbroken.
At this time, Yuying was still drinking soup happily in the back hall, unaware that a shock was about to come.
Nian Xue, who had arrived earlier, had already arrived at the east side hall of Zhang Jia's house.
Qiu Feng, who was guarding the door, saw Nian Xue rushing over and hurriedly went to greet her, "Sister Nian Xue, why are you here? Does Concubine An have any instructions?"
"Can Wei promise to be here?"
"Here, here, I'm drinking soup."
Upon hearing this, Nian Xue said no more and turned to walk into the hall.
"Your servant greets the two young ladies." She first bowed to Yuying and Zhang Jia.
"Hurry up! Nianxue, why are you here? Does Concubine An want to drink soup too? Quick, quick, serve a bowl. It won't taste good if it gets cold!" Before Nianxue could say anything, Yuying was already excitedly serving the soup.
Nian Xue's face darkened when she heard this. Do you really think that everyone is like Wei promised you, thinking about food all day long? The queen is right, he is really a fool.
Although she thought so, Nian Xue didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, no matter how young a master is, he is still a master. "Oh my little master, please stop busying yourself. The queen is still waiting for you in the front hall. The emperor will be here soon. You have to go to the front hall to welcome him."
"Bang——" The bowl of soup in Yuying's hand fell to the ground.
Yuying was stunned.
At this moment, Kangxi and Concubine An had also arrived at the entrance of the East Side Hall. Liang Jiugong was about to step forward to remind the people in the inner room to come out to greet the emperor, but he heard a "clang" and the next second, a panicked female voice came from the hall, "Nian... Nianxue, I... I suddenly feel that I have a cold. I don't want to disturb the emperor, so how about you... you ask for leave from the queen for me?"
"Qingtao Qingtao, please help me go back to the West Side Hall! I feel so dizzy! I'm going to pass out. Sister Zhangjia, please don't send me off. I can go back by myself."
Kangxi at the door paused, not knowing what he was thinking. For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Anpin glanced at Kangxi's expression, fortunately, he was not angry for the time being. She couldn't help but curse him in her heart, "Idiot."
Afraid of hearing any more shocking words, Liang Jiugong quickly spoke, "The Emperor has arrived—"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi glared at Liang Jiugong and without pausing, strode into the hall.
At the same time, there was a flurry of activity in the hall.
"Young Master——" These are Qingtao Nianxue and the others.
"Sister——" This is Concubine Zhang Jia.
Kangxi quickened his pace and turned to go into the inner room. When Concubine Zhang Jia saw the person coming, she led everyone to greet him.
"I, your servant, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"
Kangxi and Concubine An stood at the door of the inner hall, looking at the scene inside.
There was a pile of debris on the ground, and the vase by the window was overturned on the couch. For a moment, there was nowhere to step.
Concubine An and her group were walking behind and were blocked by Kangxi's tall figure, so they could not see him.
Kangxi was walking in front, but he did not miss the figure falling from the windowsill.
Good, good, very good. Am I some kind of monster that could force a little concubine to jump out of the window rather than see me?
Thinking of this, Kangxi flicked his sleeves and turned away.
"Liang Jiugong, return to the Qianqing Palace."
"Oh my emperor, please slow down--"
At the same time, outside the sky.
"Beep... Abnormal energy fluctuations detected, locking energy fluctuations -"
"Locked successfully."
