Chapter 301 Shameless
Chapter 301 Shameless
Concubine De thought that today was extremely unlucky, and it was the unluckiest day of her life.
The wound on her face will take several days to heal, and she was so angry that she felt like a puffer fish.
But she thought too simply. She only realized it after Hongyan arrived.
In this world, there is no most unlucky, only more unlucky.
Hongyan was originally not very intelligent and usually relied on Wu to cover up for him.
Now that Wu is not around, he is scared to death at night and cries all night long.
His cry was loud and clear, because the stupid ones always howled for their lives, and it was really earth-shaking.
Concubine De didn't sleep well. After being disturbed all night, she had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she woke up in the morning.
As a result, when she was bonding with this grandson during the day, he urinated on her again.
"What's going on? What do you do for a living?" She frowned at the wet nurses.
The wet nurses had never been to the palace before. As soon as they came in, the Third Prince started to complain about this and that, and the Empress blamed them. They were so scared that they were almost dead.
Concubine De didn't want to see the Third Prince again, and complained to Nanny Gao: "Why are they all children? The three who came before were all fine, but this one is so difficult to deal with?"
If she hadn't felt that children were easy to take care of when she was taking care of triplets, she wouldn't have asked Hongyu to come in and gild her reputation.
But now that I brought my child in, I realized that every child is different.
Grandma Gao thought to herself that it was your own idea, but you didn't show it on your face.
She advised: "If the Empress doesn't like it, then let them stay in the side hall for a while, and then send them off in a grand manner to save face."
After all, if the grandchildren like you, let them be there, and if they don’t like you, just keep them away.
Of course, Concubine De also understood this logic, but what worried her was that she had already told the Emperor about this matter without hesitation.
Considering how much His Majesty liked Honghui last time, it would be nice if he could also praise Honghui.
What would happen if the Emperor saw Hongyan in this disgraceful state?
Concubine De has been a little quiet recently. She used to be looking forward to the arrival of the Emperor.
Now she hopes that the Emperor will not think of her and prays to God to stop him from coming.
But even gods and Buddhas have to take naps. After the Emperor finished his busy day, he remembered that he had another grandson in the palace.
Ever since Honghui unexpectedly received a compliment from him, his sons sent all their children to the palace.
Some of them he would just take a look at when he met them, and some of the concubines were not favored to begin with, so of course he was too lazy to look at them.
Defei said that the fourth prince's legitimate son was coming, and even if she was not given face, she had to give face to the fourth prince who had been working hard recently.
He put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Go to Yonghe Palace."
Good news like this is usually reported by Liang Jiugong's apprentice Manji.
After Manji desperately chased forward, he finally arrived at Yonghe Palace and reported the good news.
As a result, the expression on Concubine De's face was very reluctant, and she wished she could kick him out.
If it weren't for Grandma Gao, I would have almost forgotten to give Manji the purse.
But he is also a sperm man, otherwise with so many young eunuchs queuing up, it would not be his turn to be Liang Jiugong's godson.
He immediately noticed Defei's dark face and thought to himself, this is really strange. He has never seen anyone who doesn't miss the Emperor.
He kept a note of Concubine De in his heart, thinking about how to trick her someday.
Like all eunuchs, Manji has some problems in his heart and can't stand others doing well.
No matter whether they have a smile on their face or whether they have any affection for each other in the past, they will take advantage of others when they find an opportunity.
In other words: his mental illness is on the verge of exploding, and it's an indiscriminate attack.
Concubine De didn't know what a little eunuch was thinking and was still worried about the Emperor's coming.
"Madam Gao, go and check on him and let him sleep," Concubine De waved her hand and decided not to mention Hongyan in front of the Emperor.
This request is unreasonable. A one-year-old child cannot be made to sleep whenever you want.
What's more, he was not used to the environment and didn't want to sleep at all.
Emperor Kangxi arrived very quickly. After entering the yard, he looked around but did not see any children.
Defei quickly greeted him and said that it was a bit hot outside and he should come in and sit down.
Emperor Kangxi thought Hongyu was in the room, so he nodded and followed her into the house.
As a result, when he entered the house, Concubine De either gave him food or drink, and did not mention Hongyu at all.
He was a little surprised and asked, "Has Hongyu gone back?"
Defei wanted to nod and say yes, but she didn't dare to lie to the emperor, so she could only reply: "Your Majesty, Hongyu has fallen asleep..."
Before she finished her words, loud crying came from next door.
Fortunately, it is daytime now, otherwise it would scare people to death if it were at night.
Emperor Kangxi put down his teacup and stood up, saying, "Oh, what a coincidence! It seems Hongyu has woken up. I'll go and take a look."
It’s not that he dotes on Hongyan, but going to see him would be considered completing his mission so that he can report to the fourth brother.
Defei was extremely reluctant, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of him, so she could only accompany him to the side hall.
In the side hall, the women had no way to deal with Hongyan, and they were afraid that he would disturb the nobles and cause them to be punished.
The leading nurse shouted, "Hurry up! Isn't the medicine ready yet? Feed it to him!"
A child is worried and crying, and no matter how you talk to him, he won't listen, and he's not afraid of being beaten or scolded, so what else can you do to make him quiet down?
The only solution the Japanese women could think of was to feed them medicine.
After taking a dose of tranquilizer, Hongyu soon calmed down and was able to sleep well.
The sleeping child is white and chubby, very cute.
Of course, Hongyan would not drink the bitter medicine obediently, so the wet nurse cooperated with him and pinched his nose to force the medicine into his mouth.
When Emperor Kangxi came in, there was no one guarding outside, and he saw at a glance several wet nurses forcibly forcing the baby to take medicine.
Emperor Kangxi shouted angrily: "What are you doing?!"
What kind of monsters and demons has he not seen in his life?
When he was a child, Oboi's party also drugged him, but he was older by then and avoided it, and even fought back against the other party.
But Hongyu was only a little over one year old, and his little face turned red, but he still couldn't resist.
Emperor Kangxi was furious: "Liang Jiugong, go check!"
Liang Jiugong had already asked the young eunuch to hold down the wet nurses, and the medicine was also kept and the imperial physician was asked to come and verify it.
Defei felt dizzy and her long nails broke.
It's over...
The matter was soon clarified. The wet nurses acted on their own and of course could not save their lives.
But how did this medicine come from, and how was it successfully boiled in Yonghe Palace...
Is it possible that Concubine De, the head of the palace, is just a decoration?
Emperor Kangxi looked at Concubine De meaningfully for a while, and ultimately did not punish her, but immediately ordered someone to send Hongyan back.
By the way, a new rule was also established: the prince’s children are not allowed to be brought into the palace!
De Fei was so ashamed that her eyes were swollen from crying: "I...I am not doing this for the fourth child~"
