Chapter 59 Meeting
On this day, Kangxi had just returned to the Qianqing Palace after attending court.
Then the eunuch outside the door came hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty, it's bad! The servants in Changchun Palace just came to report that Changchun Palace collapsed!"
"What!" After hearing this, Kangxi pushed away the servant who was changing his clothes for him and ran to Changchun Palace.
He didn't even have time to change out of his court robes.
Along the way, Kangxi was filled with anxiety, fearing that something might have happened to Yuying.
At this moment, he no longer had time to care about whether he was so afraid that something might happen to Yuying because he was afraid that he would never hear Yuying's voice again or because he was afraid of losing Yuying as a person.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Slow down!" Liang Jiugong chased after him, "The dragon chariot is ready."
The Changchun Palace was now in chaos, with people screaming in surprise.
But fortunately, no one was injured.
The eunuch who went to the Qianqing Palace to report came back without making his words clear. It was only a corner of the main hall of Changchun Palace that collapsed, not the entire palace.
Everyone in Changchun Palace, including the confined Yuying, stood in the courtyard in front of the palace, looking at the collapsed corner.
Everyone was filled with fear.
Changchun Palace had not been renovated since the major renovation in the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Now, after days of continuous rain, the long-standing disrepair of Changchun Palace finally collapsed.
Such a big mistake has never happened in the harem. The Imperial Household Department is likely to suffer the consequences this time.
When Kangxi arrived, Yuying was standing in the corner with Qingtao.
"Aying!" Kangxi looked around.
Everyone in Changchun Palace was stunned when they saw Kangxi suddenly appear. It was only when Concubine An took the lead that they remembered to kneel down and salute.
"Your Majesty, your concubine/maid/servant, pays respect to His Majesty!"
Everyone knelt down, except Yuying who was still standing and attracted attention.
Kangxi didn't care about the people kneeling. When he saw Yuying standing well, he strode over and hugged Yuying in his arms with his arms tightened.
"Aying, at least you're okay!" His tone was full of fear and relief.
Yuying was stunned when Kangxi appeared here in court robes and called her name.
She thought Kangxi would never see her again. He was magnanimous and spared her by not banishing her to the cold palace.
She stared at Kangxi without blinking, watching the pearl chains hanging from the crown on his head shaking violently, indicating how hurriedly he came.
It was not until Kangxi held her in his arms that Yuying came to her senses and struggled to get out of Kangxi's arms because of the pain on her face caused by the imperial beads he was wearing.
"Your Majesty, let go!" Seeing that her struggle was futile, Yuying couldn't help but shout.
When Kangxi heard Yuying getting anxious, he let go of her hand.
Yuying retreated stiffly from his arms.
When she turned around, she saw a crowd of people kneeling on the ground. Dozens of eyes were staring at her, and she felt a darkness before her eyes.
[Pay attention to the occasion!]
Yuying retreated, retreated, and wished she could be as far away from Kangxi as possible.
Kangxi didn't care about other people's opinions, he always acted according to his own will. He stretched out a hand to hold Yuying, forcing her to stand beside him.
Then he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, get up."
Kangxi glanced at everyone, then looked at the collapsed corner and realized that this was probably a misunderstanding.
Looking at himself in his neatly-dressed court robes, and then looking at all the people standing there, he belatedly realized that it was inappropriate.
But Yuying didn't forget to say something.
[My habit of embarrassing others strikes me again.]
At this moment, Kangxi really wished he could not hear Yuying's thoughts and glared at Yuying.
[What are you looking at? Let go! Concubine An is still watching.]
Yuying glared back.
Kangxi did not do as Yuying wished and held her hand even tighter.
And what about others.
In the past, I only knew that Concubine Jin was favored, but I didn't know how favored she was.
Now they know. Seeing how the two get along, Yuying's casual attitude towards Kangxi and Kangxi's slightly indulgent attitude, everyone secretly suppressed their surprise.
Even if Yin Changzai and Miao Da Ying had agreed, they no longer had the intention to stand up and attract Kangxi's attention. After all, everyone could see who the emperor came for.
After today, the rumors that Concubine Jin has fallen out of favor will probably be dispelled.
No one spoke and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Yuying couldn't stand this atmosphere and asked, "Why did the emperor come here in court dress?"
After many days, Kangxi finally heard Yuying talking to him again.
"I heard that something happened in Changchun Palace. I am very worried about you."
Yuying laughed and said, "Something happened in the main palace. Your Majesty, why don't you ask Concubine An?" Yuying suggested sincerely.
Concubine An was standing aside. She still looked calm when she heard this. "I am fine. Your Majesty, please don't worry about me."
Kangxi didn't say anything and just nodded.
Since Yuying was fine, Kangxi planned to return to the Qianqing Palace.
Of course, don’t forget to bring Yuying along.
In response, Yuying expressed her resistance, "I still have to be grounded!"
She slept comfortably in her west side hall all day long until she woke up naturally. She didn't have to go out to pay respects. When she was bored, there were people to play mahjong with her. She didn't have to rush to serve Kangxi.
Oh, are you asking about her punishment?
Have you ever seen a student rushing to finish homework right after the holiday? They should wait until the March deadline.
Yuying said confidently.
"Is my words less effective than those of the Imperial Concubine?" Kangxi did not accept Yuying's reason. "Well, I know I have wronged you these days. I will ask Liang Jiugong to go to Chengqian Palace to remove your punishment."
Yuying reluctantly followed Kangxi onto the dragon chariot.
Everyone looked at the backs of the two people walking away together.
"Okay, let's all go." Concubine An looked at everyone.
At this time, Yin Changzai approached Concubine An and said to Yuying, "Your Majesty, look at how proud Concubine Jin is. Does she still take you seriously?"
Concubine An's eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "I will see how Concubine Jin is doing. As for you, you should behave yourself."
"Yes, yes, I will keep your words in mind." Yin Changzai nodded.
After Yuying and Kangxi left Changchun Palace, they didn't think anything of it because there were so many people around just now, but now there were only Kangxi and Yuying on the dragon chariot, and Yuying realized belatedly that something was wrong.
"Aying, are you still angry with me?" Kangxi spoke to break the ice.
[How fresh! Who dares to be angry with you?]
"I dare not. Didn't the emperor tell me not to set foot in the Palace of Heavenly Purity in my lifetime? What am I doing now?" Yuying held a grudge.
[Just asking if you want to slap me in the face.]
"That was just something I said in anger. How about you just forget it, Aying?" Kangxi discussed with Yuying in a kind voice.
"I dare not forget it, lest the Emperor accuse me of being presumptuous again."
"Aying, I allow you to be unrestrained."
Yuying stopped talking. It seemed inappropriate to continue to push her further.
After many days, Yuying returned to the Qianqing Palace again.
