Chapter 376: Coaxing Kangxi Rongyue Difficult Childbirth
In the Qianqing Palace, Shi Nanxi sat cross-legged behind Kangxi and massaged his shoulders. Kangxi closed his eyes slightly and said in a relaxed tone:
"Why are you here? Didn't you say the other day that you would never come to the Qianqing Palace again?" He spoke jokingly, but there was a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Because of his weak strength, Shi Nanxi lowered his head at the moment, with a focused expression, and said casually:
"Your Majesty also believes what women say. I have said that I will not pay attention to you anymore, but I still pay attention to you later. Of course..."
She stopped what she was doing, raised her head and said:
"If Your Majesty does not welcome me, I will take my leave now."
As he was about to get off the bed, Kangxi quickly opened his eyes, pulled the man into his arms, and whispered:
"When did I say you were not welcome? I feel so wronged." He said this, still feeling a little aggrieved.
Shi Nanxi was held in Kangxi's arms, unmoved.
"Oh, Your Majesty feels wronged. I also felt wronged just now. Do you feel the same way now?"
Kangxi understood the girl's thoughts and pinched her nose angrily, saying:
"What a bad girl."
"Who made the emperor like a bad girl like me!" Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi provocatively.
When Kangxi saw this little girl, he liked her even more and couldn't help but lower his head and peck her red lips.
Shi Nanxi touched her lips and said proudly:
"As expected, the emperor likes a bad girl like me."
Seeing this smug look, Kangxi was even more itchy and was about to lower his head and kiss the girl fiercely to teach her a lesson, but Shi Nanxi suddenly covered her lips, deftly stepped out of Kangxi's arms, stood on the ground, and said to Kangxi:
"No kiss, Your Majesty. I am such a bad girl. I have to remind you now that you promised to take me out of the palace to play often. Now think about how long it has been since you took me out to play."
Faced with Shi Nanxi's questioning, Kangxi felt a little guilty. After the New Year, he was too busy with government affairs to fulfill his promise.
Seeing Kangxi's guilty look, Shi Nanxi put down her hand and said with a wave of eyes:
"Your Majesty feels guilty, so please compensate me. Your Majesty will go hunting in the South Garden in a few days. There will definitely be a lot of people there. I am not good at riding or shooting, and I don't want to make a fool of myself in public, so Your Majesty..."
Shi Nanxi tilted her head and blinked at Kangxi, expectantly saying:
"Why don't you take me hunting in advance?"
When Kangxi appeared in Nanyuan, a suburb of Beijing, in casual clothes with Shi Nanxi, he was still a little dazed.
Then he looked at the little girl in riding clothes and cloak in front of him, shook his head again, and since she was his spoiled one, he could only bear with it himself, and followed her.
Because there will be a spring hunt in Nanyuan in a few days, the place has been checked and guarded in advance, and the security has been tightened after receiving the news that the emperor and the concubine are coming.
The horse servant brought Kangxi's horse, which was a Ferghana horse. Shi Nanxi was a little surprised after sitting on it, as it was her first time riding a Ferghana horse. But before she could express her admiration, Kangxi behind her pulled the reins, and the horse shot out with a whoosh.
Shi Nanxi was shocked and leaned back subconsciously. Behind her was Kangxi. He held the reins with both hands and whispered in the little girl's ear:
"Sit still, I will take you hunting."
When the sun set in the west, Shi Nanxi and Kangxi rode out of the woods on horseback, followed by the guards who had tied up all kinds of animals.
Kangxi had long forgotten the unpleasantness during the morning court session. He was in a good mood after the exercise and even ordered his men to roast the game he had hunted on the spot. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, he still had to deal with government affairs, so he sent the girl back to Chuxiu Palace first and then returned to Qianqing Palace himself. But halfway through the journey, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Your Majesty?" What was he so happy about? Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside the dragon chariot, was a little confused.
Kangxi put his hand to his lips, hiding the curve of his mouth, then glanced at Liang Jiugong with his phoenix eyes and said with disdain:
"What a blockhead! If Concubine Xian were here, she would definitely know what I'm happy about." He couldn't even tell that Nanxi was trying to make him happy. He is really blind.
After saying that, he knocked on the armrest three times, and the speed of the dragon chariot instantly increased, leaving Liang Jiugong behind in a moment.
Liang Jiugong: "..." He seemed to have heard a hint of showing off, right? So the emperor was showing off just now?
……
Half a month later, at the end of February in the lunar calendar, the signs of early spring became stronger and stronger.
When Shi Nanxi got up in the morning, she felt the weather was a little warmer, so she changed into a lighter spring outfit. But after putting them on, she found that they were a little tight around her waist. Only then did she realize that after a winter, her waist had gained two inches.
Shi Nanxi was suddenly struck by lightning. She knew that she would gain weight after staying indoors all winter, but she didn't expect to gain so much weight.
No, being a favorite concubine requires professional qualities. Your figure, appearance, and skin must all be kept at their best.
How could she be fat? She immediately arranged to do yoga, but before she finished a set of yoga, Xiao Ruzi rushed in:
"My lady, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
Shi Nanxi had just finished her yoga tree pose when she heard this. She put down her arms and legs, put on a jacket, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and walked out of the screen to ask:
"What happened is not worth making a fuss about."
Xiao Ruzi reported while panting:
"Shi Concubine has given birth."
Shi Nanxi raised her eyebrows. It was about time for the birth. However, Xiao Ruzi's second half of the sentence made her frown:
"...but she had a difficult birth, so they sent people to the palace to invite the imperial physicians, but it turned out that all the imperial physicians in the palace were invited by the Second Concubine. It was heard that the Second Concubine was pregnant, and the Fourth Prince heard the news in the palace, and went to Yonghe Palace to kneel and beg Concubine Wu, but Concubine Wu said that she was in a dilemma. Now the people sent by the Fourth Prince's residence cannot invite the imperial physicians, and are kneeling at the palace gate."
"Is the Second Lady crazy?" Shi Nanxi threw away her handkerchief, her face full of disbelief after hearing this.
At this time, Xiao Ruzi added:
"I heard that Second Concubine vomited during dinner this morning. The palace maids around her were too worried and hurriedly called all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Now the doctors have found out that Second Concubine is three months pregnant."
Shi Nanxi sneered. It had been three months already. As the prince's wife, she had to check her pulse every three days. She didn't believe that the second wife didn't know she was pregnant.
Now he has summoned all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital. It is obvious that he wants to kill Shi Rongyue on purpose!
She hated Shi Rongyue's scheming against her, but Shi Rongyue was giving birth to a child now. Even when animals are pregnant, humans will release them after hunting them, let alone they are also human beings.
The Second Lady seemed quite smart and steady before. How come she became so stupid just a few months after getting married? Or did she lose her mind because of her pregnancy?
"Xiao Ruzi, I will pass on my order. Order Liu Yuanpan to go immediately..."
Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door again.
"It's bad, Madam. The Crown Prince had an argument with the Second Concubine, and all the doctors in Yuqing Palace were sent to the Fourth Prince's residence. As a result, the Second Concubine had a miscarriage. Now all the doctors have gone to the Fourth Prince's residence. The Second Concubine has no doctors left, and her situation is critical."
Shi Nanxi couldn't help but curse the national quintessence in her heart, what the hell is this!
