"Ever since the Emperor had his sister, Concubine De, he has not taken the sisters in the harem seriously at all. I came here specially to accompany you, but I was treated like this.
Forget it, it was I who made you unhappy. In that case, I will go back first. But I am worried about you, so I'd better let her stay with you.
This is the perfect woman that I have carefully selected. I think you can relax a little with her around. Everything I do is for your sake, so please don't refuse.
It's getting late, so I won't bother you in the Palace of Purity any longer. There are things in the harem that Cheng needs to deal with. I'll take my leave and take good care of His Majesty."
To prevent Kangxi from refusing, she brought the person to Kangxi and told him to take good care of him, then left in a hurry, leaving Kangxi with a shocked face.
"What does she mean by this? Force me to arrange people to serve me? I don't have any kind of people in my harem, do I need her to arrange them for me? Is she crazy about becoming the queen?
You are from the Tong family, right? I give you two choices. One is to leave the palace and marry on your own. I will not pursue the matter of your entry into the palace. The other is to go to the laundry house and work as a maid in the palace.
I believe that you are a sensible person. After all, you have been staying in Chengqian Palace obediently for a month since entering the palace. It can be seen that you have a plan in mind and will definitely make the right choice.
Liang Jiugong, the Imperial Noble Consort has been too idle recently, and she even dares to meddle in my private affairs. I see that the Imperial Mam has been in poor health recently, so let her go and serve the Imperial Mam.
As for the palace power she holds, let Huipin and Depin help handle it, and return it to her after she returns from the Cining Palace. I believe she understands what I mean."
"Yes, I will go to Chengqian Palace right away. However, can't I bring along the two mistresses, Rongpin and Yipin, with me to assist in the management of the six palaces? I'm afraid they will come to Ganqing Palace to cause trouble."
"Make trouble? This is my Palace of Heavenly Purity. Even if they were given the courage, they wouldn't dare to come here and make trouble. If they dare, I will be angry."
"I understand."
The girl from the Tong family, who had been eavesdropping the entire time, wished she could lower her head to the ground. Kangxi's meaning was very clear: he would not accept her.
But she has already entered the palace, and her family is controlled by the Tong family. If she retreats now, her family will probably be tortured to death by Madam Tong.
But Kangxi's words just now were very clear. If she insisted on staying in the palace, she would end up spending the rest of her life in the laundry department. She didn't want to choose either.
When Kangxi saw that she didn't respond for a long time, he knew that she didn't want to choose either of them. In that case, don't blame him for not giving her a way out.
"Why, are these two options difficult for me to choose? It's true that you are good-looking and have seen the wealth and luxury of the palace. How could you be willing to leave the palace and marry?
What a pity, I already have Concubine De. Even if you are more beautiful than her, I still won’t look down on you. But if I look closely, Concubine De seems to be more beautiful than you.
Since you can't choose, let me help you choose. Come, send her to the Xinzheku and send someone to keep an eye on her. I don't want to see her everywhere in the harem."
"yes."
The woman didn't expect that Kangxi would send her directly to the Xinzheku. She thought that at most she would go to the laundry department.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am willing to leave the palace. I will leave now. The Xinzheku is where criminals are gathered. I have done nothing wrong, so I cannot go there.
Just now, I was worried that my family would be persecuted, so I didn't dare to answer your question, but I have made my choice. I am willing to work as a palace maid in the laundry department.
You know, I was forced into the palace. If I disobey the Imperial Concubine's orders, my family might not survive tomorrow. I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness."
Her expression was somewhat pitiful. This was taught by the nanny who trained her. She had already entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity. How could she know how well she had learned it if she didn't try?
If only Kangxi could be moved by her and take her into the harem, she would definitely be able to sit in a high position and save her family.
As long as she is in a high position, the imperial concubine will not dare to do anything to her family. If she gives birth to another prince, she will be rich and prosperous in the future.
Of course, it wouldn't matter if Kangxi sent her to the laundry department. The imperial concubine still needed her and would definitely not let her suffer in the laundry department for the rest of her life.
As for Xinzheku, it is not a place for a person to stay, so she will not go there!
"Forgive? I see that you don't mean that. I have never thought of adding anyone to my harem. Don't try to discredit me. Come, take her away."
Kangxi was a little annoyed. This woman seemed to have some ambitions. If he allowed her to serve in the harem, something would happen sooner or later.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I... uh uh..."
Perhaps because they were afraid that Kangxi would get angry, the young eunuch next to her quickly covered her mouth and pulled her down.
In Chengqian Palace, Liang Jiugong arrived shortly after the Imperial Noble Concubine returned.
"Liang Jiugong? Why are you here? Does the emperor have any instructions? Or did she anger the emperor? Just tell me directly. I can bear it."
"I pay my respects to the Imperial Noble Consort. The Cining Palace has reported that the Grand Empress Dowager is feeling unwell. The Emperor has sent me to invite you to the Cining Palace to attend to her."
The Imperial Noble Consort's expression was a little stiff. Xiaozhuang was not feeling well, so she was asked to attend to her? No one would believe this if they told them!
You have to know that Empress Xiaozhuang really disliked her, so how could she let her go to the Qing Palace to take care of her illness?
"The Emperor asked me to go to the Cining Palace to attend to the sick? Liang Jiugong, are you sure that's what the Emperor said? Why do I feel like you're teasing me?
Everyone in the palace knows that the Empress Dowager doesn't like me, the Imperial Noble Consort. If she really needs someone to take care of her, let Concubine De go.
"It was under her protection that Depin gave birth to the Fourth Prince safely. Now that she is ill, Depin should be by her side, not letting me be an eyesore."
"Your Majesty, do you mean to say that you do not wish to serve in the Cining Palace? If so, then I will return to the Qianqing Palace to serve. The Emperor cannot do without me."
Seeing Liang Jiugong's attitude, the Imperial Noble Consort was undecided for a moment. She was a little worried that Kangxi really wanted her to go to the Cining Palace to take care of him.
"Forget it. I am the Imperial Noble Consort after all. The Empress Dowager is ill, so I have the obligation to serve in the Cining Palace. Come, get ready. I am going to the Cining Palace.
Liang Jiugong, when you return, tell the Emperor that I will take good care of the Empress Dowager and reassure him that I will not let him down."
"Yes, your majesty, rest assured. I will pass on the message to the emperor. I will take my leave."
Liang Jiugong sighed helplessly after leaving Chengqian Palace, and he didn't tell her that the emperor wanted to seize her power, so as to prevent her from going to Qianqing Palace again.
As for the woman she brought to the Qianqing Palace, she had probably been taken away by now. It was impossible for the emperor to keep her in the Qianqing Palace to serve him.
