Chapter 999 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (36)
"Then let them do what they want."
Li Siqi didn't care at all, "These things have nothing to do with us, we just need to take good care of Xiao Ba."
"Yes, Xiao Ba is still the cutest."
"That chubby kid!"
……
Leading an army in person is no simple matter.
At least the previous dynasty was already in an uproar.
Many ministers opposed the emperor going to the battlefield.
After all, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and no one can guarantee the emperor's safety.
Of course, the inner palace was relatively peaceful. Although the concubines were worried about the emperor, none of them dared to advise him.
Some people are afraid to offer advice themselves but hope that someone else will step forward.
Thus, it was a rare occurrence for Changchun Palace to have two pregnant women.
Li Siqi was astonished.
Although the two people in front of me are not kind people.
But he's not a bad person either.
It can only be said that some ordinary people would not be spared even if they offended them.
Li Siqi had a pretty good impression of them.
However, I never thought of befriending them.
She knew Kangxi's fastidious nature all too well.
On the surface, he seemed to want the concubines to live in harmony, creating a positive atmosphere where everyone was happy.
Actually, he particularly enjoys playing with balancing techniques.
Consort Wenxi and Consort Yi were considered to be in cahoots.
She seemed to be a loner, but because of Xiao Ba, she was inexplicably grouped with the Empress Dowager and Consort Xuan.
As for Consort Hui and Consort Rong, these high-ranking concubines, they were actually surrounded by other concubines.
Unbeknownst to them, the dozens of concubines in the harem were divided into several groups.
Mutual dislike and attacks were minor issues in Kangxi's eyes.
He could see through the personalities of the concubines through these events.
On the contrary, the concubines were able to get along harmoniously, which made him even more worried.
I'm afraid I'll be deceived without even realizing it.
The current harem is actually the situation he wanted.
I knew Kangxi was thinking too much.
Li Siqi never associates with high-ranking concubines.
So Li Siqi was quite surprised to see these two people appear in front of her.
"It's rare for Her Majesty and Consort Yi to go out."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "You've come to my Changchun Palace again. I wonder what business Your Highness has with me?"
"Nothing urgent."
Consort Wenxi smiled and said, "I haven't been out for a while, so I came out with Consort Yi to get some fresh air."
I only realized I hadn't visited Consort Liang since I unintentionally came to the vicinity of Changchun Palace.
I've always heard that Consort Liang is a master at growing flowers; Changchun Palace is a sea of flowers.
So, the Empress and Consort Yi, being somewhat curious, came over to take a look.
"It was I and Consort Yi who disturbed you."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "It's just that I planted a few more pots of flowers, it's nothing special."
If Your Majesty likes them, you may take a few plates back to admire.
"Now that you say that, I am indeed tempted."
Consort Wenxi couldn't help but be moved, "Even the Emperor has praised the flowers you planted, which shows how good they are."
"It's pretty much the same as growing it in a greenhouse."
Li Siqi didn't mind at all, "It's just a few more things."
"Sister Liangfei, may I ask if I may move a few of your flower arrangements?"
Consort Yi couldn't help but speak, her eyes sparkling, "I just saw that you have grown several kinds of roses very well."
"I really like it."
Because Li Siqi was granted the title of Imperial Concubine before Consort Yi.
Even if Consort Yi was unhappy, she had no choice but to respectfully address her as "elder sister".
The women in the harem knew very well that everything was decided by rank.
"of course can."
Li Siqi grows flowers just for fun, and she doesn't mind giving them away.
However, seeing their protruding bellies, she still reminded them, "It's fine if you like flowers, but they can only be placed in the small garden in your palace."
When admiring flowers, keep a distance.
By the way, once you move it back, you must immediately have a royal physician examine it.
This way you can rest assured, and I can also rest assured.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
"Consort Liang is right."
Consort Wenxi nodded. "Our trust in you doesn't mean those with malicious intentions won't take the opportunity to cause us trouble."
"Don't worry, Consort Liang."
Consort Yi nodded in agreement, "I will also ask the imperial physician to examine me."
Let's all be careful so we don't fall into other people's traps.
"Yes, we need to be extra careful."
Li Siqi nodded, "Especially since you are quite far along in your pregnancy, there's a risk of premature birth."
It would be best if we paid more attention to safety.
"Consort Liang is very kind."
Consort Wenxi nodded, then sighed, "We still need more than three months before we give birth."
Unfortunately, the Emperor is going to lead the expedition in person, and it's uncertain whether he will be able to return.
"Your Highness, this is a matter of national importance and a political affair."
Li Siqi looked at her speechlessly, "We shouldn't say too much, just follow the Emperor's orders."
Besides, with the Empress Dowager in charge in the palace, Consort Gui and Consort Yi can rest assured.
"Although it is a matter of national importance, we only chatted about it casually."
Consort Yi picked up the conversation, "It's just that the Emperor isn't in the palace, so we people have no one to rely on."
Especially at this time, the big ones have grown bigger, while the small ones are still small.
if……"
"Yifei!"
Li Siqi called out softly.
His cold gaze fixed on her flickering eyes, and Consort Yi was immediately speechless.
She continued, "Being pregnant is indeed quite difficult, so don't overthink it, as it's not good for the baby."
We should worry about what we need to worry about, and leave the rest alone.
Isn't it better to just live your own life well?
Then Li Siqi looked at Consort Wenxi and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"you're right."
Consort Wenxi couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, knowing in her heart that it was indeed inappropriate to say such things.
I had to change the subject, saying, "The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon too."
"I'm also struggling to decide what gift to prepare. Would Consort Liang have the time to suggest something?"
……
The inner palace remained peaceful.
Because Emperor Kangxi was busy, he did not enter the inner palace for more than half a month.
Although the Empress Dowager was worried, she would never interfere with Kangxi's decisions.
Just at this time.
Suddenly, screams and chaos erupted from the Imperial Garden.
"Master, something has happened to the Sixth Prince."
Xiao Huzi immediately reported, "Suo'etu bribed a young eunuch and jumped into the pond with the Sixth Prince in his arms."
The Sixth Prince is now dead.
Does anyone know the inside story?
Li Siqi asked softly, "If no one knows, I'm afraid someone else will be in trouble?"
"Without my intervention, even Emperor Kangxi would have had a hard time finding it."
The little pot responded, "Now the Crown Prince's wet nurse is in charge of the Imperial Household Department."
When it comes to people like Suo'etu, with his help to clean up the mess, there's bound to be no mistakes.
Even Emperor Kangxi's men would find it difficult to find any flaws.
"It has nothing to do with us."
Li Siqi said calmly, "Although we dislike Suo'etu, we will not help Consort Wuya find the murderer."
However, Suo'etu dared to harm innocent people.
Make him suffer a little more.
With Emperor Kangxi personally leading the expedition, he shouldn't expect to gain any credit whatsoever.
Let him lie in bed for a few months.
