Chapter 979 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (16)
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Emperor Kangxi laughed heartily.
Seeing her so serious was especially hilarious.
His joyful smile filled the entire side hall of Changchun Palace.
Wei Zhu, who was guarding outside the door, was extremely surprised.
You must know that the emperor's authority is growing stronger.
The concubines in the harem all served the emperor with utmost care.
Consort Wei is the first concubine to make the Emperor so happy.
That night.
Changchun Palace called for water three times.
The next day.
Emperor Kangxi went to court looking radiant.
For three consecutive days.
The emperor always stayed overnight at Changchun Palace.
It wasn't until the fourth day that they learned the Emperor had finally stopped going to Changchun Palace.
The concubines in the harem couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Emperor Kangxi did not choose a concubine.
I spent two nights alone in the Qianqing Palace.
On the third night, I chose Xiao Guoluo's.
The concubines were completely relieved.
He favored all the women in the harem.
Emperor Kangxi truly achieved the goal of distributing his favor equally to all.
"Our emperor is still sensible."
Sumalagu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry anymore."
"It's only just begun."
The Empress Dowager smiled nonchalantly, "It's good that the Emperor can control his own preferences."
It remains to be seen whether he can truly refuse to make an exception for a woman.
"His Majesty will certainly not disappoint you."
Su Mala Gu responded, "Besides, Consort Wei is also a sensible and insightful person."
We won't lose our composure!
"hope so!"
Based on their performance over the past two weeks, the Empress Dowager is currently satisfied.
After all, she didn't really want a wicked concubine who would bring ruin to the country.
half a month later.
Emperor Kangxi stepped into Changchun Palace once again.
I spotted someone tending to the flowers.
She exudes a tranquil aura that instantly lifts one's spirits.
He gazed at the woman, who seemed like a fairy descended from heaven, and slowly approached her step by step.
Seemingly hearing footsteps, Li Siqi glanced to the side and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
"I'll come and keep you company after I've finished tending to this rose bush."
"it is good!"
Emperor Kangxi was not angry.
I just stood there and watched her get busy.
Until you let go of everything.
He washed his hands with the help of the palace maids.
Then she bowed to him and said, "This concubine greets Your Majesty."
"My beloved concubine is exempt from the gift."
Kangxi stepped forward, took her hand, and together they admired the flowers before them.
"My beloved concubine has such skillful hands; these flowers are blooming beautifully."
"Your Majesty flatters me."
Li Siqi replied with a smile, "This concubine has no special abilities, I just like these flowers and plants, I hope Your Majesty will not find them offensive."
"of course not."
Kangxi lowered his head, deliberately leaned close to her neck and took a breath, "I just love the scent on you."
"Your Majesty, the concubines all use incense."
Li Siqi glanced at him indifferently, "They also smell wonderful."
"Smells delicious?"
Upon hearing this description, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle. "Compared to perfume, I prefer the natural fragrance of my beloved concubine."
"Dirty!"
Li Siqi threw him two words.
Fortunately, the palace servants were all far away, otherwise they would have lost all face.
"Hahaha……"
Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed.
He simply liked the woman in front of him who was frank and natural.
Moreover, he never cared about his status and said whatever he wanted.
Compared to Guo Luoluo's compliant straightforwardness and veiled flattery, this was a different kind of straightforwardness.
He preferred to hear Wei's unvarnished words.
In the harem, only she dared to speak to him like that.
He pulled the person into the hall.
Then he led her to sit down together, and asked, "What have you been busy with lately, my dear consort?"
"Not busy."
Li Siqi responded, "It's the same as when I was a concubine at home."
Reading, writing, painting, playing chess, and tending to flowers and plants.
"I think it's quite good."
Why aren't you playing the piano?
Emperor Kangxi asked with a smile, "Could it be that my beloved concubine is not proficient in music?"
"I really didn't study much."
Li Siqi looked at him, "Does His Majesty enjoy music?"
"good."
Emperor Kangxi responded, "I have many things to attend to lately."
I don't have the energy to focus on musicality.
"If Your Majesty is pleased, you may have someone play some soothing music."
Li Siqi responded, "Your Majesty can relax while listening to the music."
"never mind."
Emperor Kangxi laughed and said, "If I had that time, I would rather spend it with my beloved concubine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Siqi looked at him with gentle eyes, "This concubine still hopes that Your Majesty will take care of your health and not ruin it."
"Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I know what I'm doing."
Kangxi sensed the sincerity in her tone and was somewhat satisfied.
He stayed overnight at Changchun Palace for three consecutive days.
The concubines were speculating whether the record would be broken.
The emperor stayed overnight at the Qianqing Palace.
Two days later, they started flipping cards again.
Aside from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager being satisfied, the concubines were all speculating.
Did this Lady Wei hold any special place in the Emperor's heart?
The days passed by at a leisurely pace.
Life in the harem still seemed peaceful.
The biggest conflict was that when the concubines paid their respects, they would make sarcastic and veiled remarks.
this day.
Anning walked in, bowed, and said, "My lady! This servant has made a new discovery."
"What did you find?"
Li Siqi asked casually.
Anran, Anxin, Anle, and Anning were the four maids who were raised by her parents.
Since she was left in the palace, the four of them were sent to the palace by their families.
He was waiting for her to become the mistress of the harem and be transferred to serve him.
The four of them remain the personal maids of the palace.
Li Siqi felt at ease entrusting everything to them.
"My lord, some bad things have been mixed in with this month's allowance."
An Ning said through gritted teeth, "If Xiao uses these things, she might become infertile."
I don't know whose doing this is.
"Anyone could be involved."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "There are many people who don't want me to have children, so it's not surprising that these kinds of people have gotten in."
"Master, should we tell the Emperor?"
"unnecessary!"
Li Siqi instructed, "Put it away and set it aside for now, without alerting anyone."
I will handle this matter.
"My lord, let's investigate this secretly."
An Ran gently advised, "At least we need to know who is targeting the young master."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Don't make a move."
Li Siqi looked at them and said, "I have just entered the harem, and everyone is staring at me."
Any action taken could easily attract their attention.
You will all follow my instructions.
"Yes, little master!"
The four responded in unison.
December 13th.
Rumor has it that Consort Wuya of Chengqian Palace is about to give birth.
Li Siqi had no choice but to go to Chengqian Palace.
She will be promoted to the rank of concubine next year after giving birth to a son.
I have to say, this woman is amazing.
"Sister Wei is here."
Consort Guo Luoluo greeted Li Siqi with a smile, "Consort Wuya has just entered the delivery room."
It shouldn't be that fast.
"Thank you for informing me, Noble Lady Guo Luoluo."
Li Siqi responded softly.
The two Guo Luo sisters, the elder and the younger, remained concubines.
Xiao Guoluo was a noblewoman.
Da Guoluo was a quiet and reserved person who did not like to talk.
Guo Luoluo was a beautiful woman with a straightforward personality.
Although she sometimes unintentionally offends people, she can still chat with anyone.
