Chapter 422: Do Good Things and Leave Your Name
Concubine Yi pointed at Wen Yao and said, "You, there are people with medical skills around you. Tell me why you don't let her take your pulse? If you find it troublesome, you can just do it once every few days. Besides, it won't waste much time." Concubine Yi was a little scared. After hearing what Nanny Cui He said, she was sure that she was pregnant.
"Not all people are disgusting, but my concubines are disgusting every time they are pregnant. Are all those who are happy and disgusting in my harem?" Kangxi smiled, and his smile was very bright, but his eyes were a little cold. Although Kangxi knew some of it before, but after he understood it thoroughly, he felt that it was very annoying.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi looked at each other. They couldn't respond to this. They were also one of them. When Concubine Hui was pregnant with Prince Zhi, she didn't say this until three months later. She also used the trick of disgusting him. This was even more so when Concubine Yi was pregnant with the Ninth and Eleventh Princes. So the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, couldn't respond to this.
[What should Concubine Hui and Mother say to this? Sometimes this disgust is just to expose it. Besides, in this harem, the child will be lost if you are not careful. It is normal to be cautious.] Wen Yao looked at Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi's faces and knew why they didn't speak up at the first time. She tried to make up for them. She couldn't find the answer in her heart and had to say it out. She always left a name for good deeds. "Father, I think sometimes pretending to be disgusting and revealing the pregnancy is also a reasonable way to protect the child. I heard that the first three months of pregnancy are critical. Keeping it a secret for three months is not to hide it from Father, but to hide it from other people in the harem."
Kangxi looked at Wen Yao and thought of Concubine Rong. Every time she had obvious symptoms, he would expose them, but in the end, not a single one was saved. "As long as the child can be raised, it's all unimportant." Kangxi would not settle scores later. He knew a little about the methods used by the concubines in his harem at that time, but some of them were unimportant and he was willing to indulge them.
For example, what Uya did in the harem at that time, so what? At least it made him see that the concubines were not harmonious and would not collude with each other. But he did not expect that Uya was so ambitious and her methods were so cruel.
Kangxi reflected on himself as early as the day when Uya's ambition was exposed. However, at that time Uya could not be dealt with. She could only be punished but not executed. After all, she had two sons and one daughter.
It’s not because of how much affection he has for Uya, but for the sake of the Fourth and Fourteenth Brothers.
In fact, if Wen Yao knew what the emperor was thinking, no matter how much she hated Uya, she would give Kangxi a thumbs up on this point, because Kangxi was very loyal in this regard.
Whatever Defei did was for others, but she had made contributions in giving birth to the princes and princesses. Such a person should not be punished with the usual punishments for violating palace rules.
If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. This rule does not apply to high-ranking officials.
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Sister Yifei, I finally understand why you like Wen Yao so much. It's really worth it." It is rare for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be as good as Concubine Yi and the Ninth Lady. But after hearing Wen Yao's reply, Concubine Hui understood more and more why Concubine Yi treated Wen Yao sincerely.
If someone is nice to you, shouldn't you be nice to her in return?
"This child is kind-hearted and doesn't have so many crooked thoughts. She dares to say anything. Sister Huifei, please don't laugh at me," said Concubine Yi, and then looked at Kangxi, "Your Majesty, please don't blame me. Wen Yao is just trying to make up for me."
Concubine Yi did not intend to hide her previous thoughts. She knew even better that the emperor knew about it. It was just that she could not reply directly after the emperor said that, after all, Concubine Hui was there. But since Wen Yao had spoken, she could continue to speak. Being straightforward was also her own character.
"If I wanted to blame someone, I would have done it a long time ago. This Little Ninth Lady sometimes leaves me speechless." Kangxi was really not angry. People with this kind of personality could see through what they were thinking at a glance. Kangxi preferred dealing with such people.
In other words, as long as he is not as stubborn as Sun Jiagan, it will be fine. Sun Jiagan can see what he is thinking at a glance, but he will not change even if he knows that the road ahead is blocked!
Just go down this road till the end!
"Father Emperor, how can you slander me? Your daughter-in-law respects you so much. You are a wise monarch in your heart," Wen Yao had to say that Kangxi was a very qualified monarch. Even if she did not like the Qing Dynasty, she would still say that Kangxi was a good emperor, although the monarch Wen Yao admired most was her own Emperor Qin Shi Huang!
The 1.80-meter-tall and handsome Qin Shi Huang, wow... Although this is what Wen Yao thought in her heart, she believed that her ancestor was just so handsome!
Is there anyone more powerful than Qin Shi Huang? No! No! Who said there is?
For Wen Yao, absolutely not! Absolutely, Qin Shi Huang is the coolest, no doubt about it!
"I should be thankful that I am not a tyrant," Kangxi raised his eyelids. You can't even praise others, so how come you are so good at praising the fourth and ninth brothers!
"..." Wen Yao swallowed the yogurt cake in her mouth and looked at the unreasonable Kangxi with a speechless face, [Is the emperor looking for trouble? What's wrong? Are you still competing for favor in front of me, your daughter-in-law? (ˉ▽ ̄~) Cut~~]
Kangxi really wanted to say, "Listen to this! Listen to it yourself. Isn't this a ready-made example? How should he respond to this?"
But the imperial physician arrived soon. Although not that fast, it seemed that time passed quickly while they were talking.
After the imperial physician felt Wen Yao's pulse, a hint of joy appeared on his face. Fortunately, nothing had happened. Pregnancy was the easiest thing for the imperial physicians. "Your Majesty, the Ninth Concubine is pregnant. It has been more than a month. The Ninth Concubine is in good health, so her pulse is strong..."
Concubine Yi showed a happy expression on her face and quickly asked, "You rode a horse for more than ten days before that. Drinking contraceptive soup every day is not harmful to your health?"
Kangxi's eyelids twitched. Great! He got another piece of news. He knew exactly what his own Concubine Yi was like. She just indulged these two in their mischief!
The imperial physician was a little confused by the question, "The Ninth Lady has never taken contraceptive pills." He was very sure of this, she definitely hadn't taken any!
"Does that mean she's fine? That's good! That's good!" Concubine Yi did not answer. When she heard the imperial physician's answer, she knew that Wen Yao was fine.
Concubine Hui was shocked. Riding a horse? Drinking contraceptive soup. Looking at Concubine Yi's appearance, listening to the doctor's answer, and thinking about the Ninth Prince's actions, Concubine Hui had a rough guess in her mind, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Concubine Yi for giving birth to another grandson."
"Is it true? Isn't this too awesome?" Wen Yao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, [Is this too awesome? Or are we too crazy? Is this even possible? ]
