Chapter 52: Yanxi Palace
The next day, Yuying woke up from Kangxi's dragon bed as if she was familiar with it. Kangxi had gone to court as usual and had not returned yet.
If you think about it carefully, Yuying, this concubine, was incompetent in every aspect except sleeping with him. After all, she never got up early to help Kangxi put on his court clothes, and even when Kangxi got up, he deliberately didn't wake her up.
In this regard, Kangxi was still a qualified bed partner.
However, no one knew what went wrong with Kangxi last night. His movements were so rapid and heavy, and he refused to stop. Yuying was so angry that she bit him directly.
Yuying tried to move her body, but she felt weak and her teeth were itching again.
Hearing the noise, Qingdai, who was standing outside the bed, spoke softly through the curtains: "My lady, are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up. Qingdai, please help me. I can't get up!" Yuying's tone was full of resentment.
Qingdai smiled when she heard that and opened the curtain.
Yuying quickly reached out her hand and sat up straight with the help of Qingdai.
"Qingdai, you are so kind. What do you think if I tell the emperor that I want you to come over?"
Every time she went to bed in the Qianqing Palace, Qingdai would serve her the next day. Over time, Yuying became more and more familiar with Qingdai.
"My lord, of course I am looking forward to going with you."
"No, no, no, if you follow me, I won't have anyone I know in the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
"Of course not. If Lu Chen heard what you said, my lady, she would be sad." Lu Chen was also the person arranged by Kangxi to serve Yuying when Yuying stayed overnight in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for the first time.
"If I take you away, then isn't it a bad idea to leave Lu Chen alone?"
"Then my young master, would you like to take both of us away?"
"That's a good idea!" Yuying was actually tempted, "But I already have enough servants around me. If you two were to join me, it would be too much."
Yuying was unhappy.
Seeing that Yuying was really unhappy, Qingdai hurriedly comforted her: "My lady, as long as you come to the Ganqing Palace often, I can serve you often."
Yuying was easily coaxed.
But who doesn’t like to be coaxed by a pretty little beauty?
By the time Yuying had finished packing and returned to Changchun Palace, she hadn't even sat down yet.
"My lady, Concubine Hui invites you to the Yanx Palace to apologize to you." Qingtao told Yuying with an embarrassed look on her face.
No, why are you from the Yanxi Palace so against me? But the high-ranking concubines had an appointment, and Yuying had to go.
Damn the rules!
Concubine An seemed to have learned the news as well and stopped Yuying in front of the palace gate.
"My queen, is there anything I can help you with?" Yuying asked in confusion.
"I heard that Concubine Hui summoned you to the Yanxi Palace. I'm afraid she had planned this long ago. You must be more careful."
I didn't expect that Concubine An actually came to care about her. Although she is usually cold, she is always reliable at critical moments. It turns out that there are still many good people in this world!
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! I will be careful and cautious." Yuying's tone was full of energy.
"You know what's going on. Don't delay. Go now."
"Okay, my lady!"
Concubine An turned around and returned to her own palace. I don't know, if Concubine Hui attacked Concubine Jin, I don't know if Your Majesty would seek justice for Concubine Jin or just stand by and watch?
Yanxi Palace.
"I heard that Concubine Wei in my palace upset you yesterday. I invited you here today to apologize to you." Concubine Hui handed Yuying a cup of tea. "Try it, is this pre-rain Longjing tea still acceptable to you?"
It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Concubine Hui showed her attitude very well, and Yuying found it difficult to refuse for the time being.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. It was just a joke between sisters, why did you alarm Madam?"
"Oh, look at my memory." Concubine Hui chuckled and raised a hand to pat her forehead, "I forgot that my sister and Concubine Wei are from the same family. It seems that I have been meddling in other people's business."
Can Yuying respond to this?
cannot.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? It is my honor to have your concern."
"That's good. After all, I like you very much! You should come to the Yanxi Palace more often when you have time."
Yuying just smiled and lowered her head to drink tea.
"By the way, Chunxiang, is the Eighth Prince awake?" Concubine Hui seemed to remember something and turned to ask the palace maid beside her.
When Yuying heard the word "Eighth Prince", she pricked up her ears.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is awake, but should he be brought over?" Chunxiang asked.
"Then bring it over here."
"Yes, madam."
Then he turned to Yuying and asked, "Sister, do you want to meet the Eighth Prince? Speaking of which, the Eighth Prince used to call you Aunt."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Sure enough, not long after, Chunxiang was followed by the wet nurse holding Yinsi into the hall.
When she came up to them, the wet nurse was about to bow to Concubine Hui and Yuying.
"No need to bow, just bring Xiao Ba to me." Concubine Hui interrupted the wet nurse and stretched out a pair of well-maintained hands.
"Yes, your majesty." The wet nurse quickly handed Yinsi over.
Yinsi was originally hugging the wet nurse's neck, his eyes rolling around, but suddenly someone else was holding him, and he stopped crying and making a fuss, and he seemed to have become much calmer.
"My dear little Ba, have you missed me? Come and give me a kiss." Concubine Hui held the child in her arms, lowered her head and wanted to put her cheek against Yinsi, acting like a loving mother.
Yuying was watching from the side, watching Hui Fei's unarmored fingers touch Yin Si's little face, and seeing that they were about to poke his eyes, she felt scared for Yin Si and couldn't help but speak out to stop him: "Your Majesty, can I hold him?"
Concubine Hui really stopped what she was doing and looked at Yuying, "Of course, it's okay. It's a blessing for Xiaoba that my sister is willing to get close to him."
Yuying reached out and took the child, who was lighter than she had imagined. She had originally just wanted to stop Concubine Hui's actions, but after holding the child in her arms, Yuying really loved him.
She carefully adjusted Yinsi's position, trying to make him feel comfortable in her arms. Then, she lowered her head and looked at Yinsi.
Feeling the cautious attitude of the person holding him, Yinsi was also observing Yuying. His big watery eyes were full of confusion, as if he was wondering who this person was?
Yuying looked at his lively expression, stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Yinsi's eyes, and teased him with a smile: "Xiao Ba, I am your aunt, do you remember?"
Perhaps it was really fate. Upon hearing Yuying's voice, Yinsi, who had not spoken a word since entering the palace, suddenly stretched out his hands and grasped Yuying's fingers, "Aunt...mother, Xiaoba...be obedient."
Yuying just felt her heart soften.
Yinsi was actually very well-born. His fair face was adorned with a pair of big, shiny black eyes that twinkled, his eyelashes were long and thick, and when he grinned at you, two small fangs were visible, making it hard not to like him.
Seeing that Yuying and Yinsi were getting along like old friends and were very close, Concubine Hui stopped smiling and said, "Seeing how much my sister loves Xiaoba, I'm afraid that when my sister has her own children in the future, she will definitely be a doting mother."
Upon hearing this, Yuying smiled shyly and said, "It's Xiaoba who is cute." Yuying swore that what she said was true.
After all, other people’s children are cuter. If Sister Wei Shuang brought up the deal from yesterday again, Yuying might agree to it.
well.
"I think it's getting late, and it's time for the Eighth Prince to drink milk. You'd better let the wet nurse take him down." Concubine Hui winked at the wet nurse beside her.
"Oh... yes, yes, Concubine Hui is absolutely right. My lady, please give the Eighth Prince to me."
Yuying didn't expect that a two-year-old child was still drinking milk, but Yuying had never raised a child before, so she couldn't say anything and had to return Yinsi to the wet nurse.
Yinsi's eyes followed Yuying's movements. Seeing that Yuying actually gave herself to someone else, he quickly stretched out his hand towards Yuying, "Xiao Ba...want..."
Yuying also looked reluctant.
The wet nurse looked at Concubine Hui in embarrassment.
Concubine Hui waved her hand and told her not to worry and just carry him away.
