Chapter 989 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (26)
"Not fat yet?"
Li Siqi was completely speechless.
This kid is practically the old lady's dream grandson.
He's fair-skinned and chubby, with a double chin, and his eyes squint into a line when he smiles.
The little hands and legs are segmented like lotus roots.
She didn't even know how to describe her appearance, which wasn't fat.
"Shut up. If you can't speak properly, then you're not allowed to speak."
The Empress Dowager was unhappy that the little guy was being gossiped about.
Directly rebuke those who speak without restraint.
"If you don't say it, don't say it."
Li Siqi didn't care.
I picked up the milk cake that was next to me and started eating it.
Kangshou Palace offers a wide variety of Mongolian delicacies.
Although Li Siqi had already tasted it.
It's nice to eat it occasionally.
As for the Empress Dowager, she was interacting with Xiao Ba, the two of them babbling incoherently, seemingly exchanging something.
"The Empress Dowager."
After finishing her milk tea, Li Siqi stood up. "Xiao Ba, you can play with it."
When you're tired of playing, send someone to take you back to Changchun Palace.
If you want him to stay with you for one night.
"I will come to pick her up again tomorrow."
"You heartless mother, where are you trying to run off to again?"
The Empress Dowager grumbled, and before she could say anything, she waved her hand to shoo them away, saying, "If you're going to leave, then leave quickly and don't bother people here."
"Yes, I am resigning!"
Li Siqi turned and left.
The speed was as if they were shedding a burden.
The Empress Dowager was so angry she laughed, and said to the chubby little boy, "Look at your mother, she's annoyed with you again."
"The Eighth Prince is very well-behaved."
Granny Bunni smiled and took over the conversation, "I don't know why Consort Liang doesn't like to play with him."
"She loves peace and quiet."
The Empress Dowager thought of her personality and couldn't help but shake her head, "Although our little Ba is well-behaved, she needs someone to accompany her when she's not sleeping."
Perhaps he's used to Consort Liang's company, except for the quiet time he gets here with me.
He wouldn't be happy if anyone else were with him.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble, Master."
Granny Bunni chuckled, "No one but the master and Consort Liang can take care of the Eighth Prince."
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "That's why Consort Liang is annoyed by this child."
……
After leaving the child at Kangshou Palace, Li Siqi returned to Changchun Palace with cheerful steps.
It's so nice to have someone help take care of your child.
It is said that Xiao Ba was picky and did not want to follow the other nannies, mainly because she was used to the scent of Li Siqi.
Xiao Ba was willing to follow the Empress Dowager because she gave the Empress Dowager a talisman.
Otherwise, given Xiao Ba's personality, she might not be willing to interact with the Empress Dowager.
He had just returned to Changchun Palace not long ago.
Then they heard that Consort Dai Jia was requesting an audience.
Li Siqi had no choice but to let the person in.
"This humble concubine greets Consort Liang."
Consort Dai bowed and said, "May Your Majesty be blessed."
"No need for such formalities, Lady Dai."
Li Siqi nodded to her, "I didn't expect you to come."
Sit down!
"Thank you, ma'am."
Consort Dai Jia walked over and sat down beside her. "Why don't I see the Eighth Prince?"
Everyone in the harem knows this.
Besides the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Consort Liang, the Eighth Prince was also present.
No one else is allowed to touch him.
"It was just sent to Kangshou Palace."
Li Siqi casually explained, "I just got back too."
"I will not have the chance to see the Eighth Prince again."
Consort Dai Jia's tone carried a hint of regret, "I also made a small tiger hat and tiger-head shoes for the Eighth Prince."
This is just a small token of my appreciation.
I hope Your Majesty will not find it offensive.
"You have a heart."
Li Siqi nodded slightly, but still offered a suggestion, "You don't have much on you, so you should leave it to the Seventh Prince."
"Xiao Qi is alright."
Consort Dai Jia's smile was somewhat forced. "Consort Rong also gave Xiao Qi quite a lot of things, so I won't mistreat him."
"I know."
Li Siqi thought of the Seventh Prince's foot ailment.
Although the bone is growing crookedly, it is not incurable.
However, surgery was not available at that time.
The imperial physicians' acupuncture and herbal medicine were indeed ineffective in treating this foot ailment.
This child was treated poorly because of his foot ailment.
However, she is not some saint.
It's impossible to take action out of pity.
Otherwise, it would surely lead to the downfall of Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.
If things go too far, these grandparents and grandchildren will absolutely not tolerate it.
Just like how Emperor Kangxi concealed the fact that the Empress Dowager was using a "furnace".
He dared not let the Empress Dowager know.
Because he knew that this unusual behavior would definitely arouse her suspicion.
With the mindset of 'better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free,' they directly killed the woman whose body was abnormal.
Perhaps it was in Kangxi's own interest, as he was more tolerant.
If he knew that he could also cure Tiancan's foot ailment...
Even if he's reluctant, he won't let go of someone he can't control.
Li Siqi would not provoke the emperor's bottom line.
They would not put themselves in danger.
"Your Majesty, I would like to bring Xiao Qi over to keep the Eighth Prince company."
Dai Jia said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiao Qi doesn't really like to talk."
The concubine wishes to let him get to know the Eighth Prince.
I wonder if Your Majesty agrees.
Everyone knows that the Emperor dotes on the Eighth Prince.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Eighth Prince is only three or four months old.
He talks incessantly all day long; he's a very lively child.
She truly hoped that her child could become close to the Eighth Prince.
With companionship in the future, her son's life will be better.
Do you think this is appropriate?
Li Siqi guessed what she was thinking and gently reminded her, "You should understand that Consort Rong is not a magnanimous person."
The Seventh Prince is still being raised under her name.
If you visit her occasionally, she might turn a blind eye.
If you dare to bring the Seventh Prince out.
She probably couldn't bear it.
"This……"
Consort Dai was stunned upon hearing this.
Recalling Consort Rong's attitude towards her son, she couldn't help but say, "She never even glanced at Xiao Qi."
It was all the nannies who took care of Xiaoqi.
The concubine brought Xiao Qi out, and she…
Do you think she won't mind?
Li Siqi was speechless at her naivety.
Dai Jia Guiren murmured, "She, she doesn't care about Xiao Qi at all."
"so what?"
Li Siqi smiled helplessly, "This is a matter of her reputation."
Do you think she'll still turn a blind eye?
You should think this through carefully.
After offending her, can you and your son bear the consequences?
"Concubine..."
Dai Jia Guiren's eyes were filled with tears.
She clearly knew Rong Pin's personality very well.
With her son still in their hands, she really didn't dare to offend them.
All I can do is feel sad and shed tears.
Seeing her like this...
Li Siqi couldn't help but frown. "Little Pot, she doesn't want me to ask for her help, does she?"
“Master, she does indeed mean that.”
Xiao Huzi explained, "She didn't want to offend Consort Rong, nor did she want to stay in Consort Rong's palace any longer."
She wanted to come to Changchun Palace, hoping that the master could take care of her and her child.
Ideally, you should ask them, mother and son, to move in.
This way, she wouldn't offend Consort Rong and could still gain her master's protection.
"I am not a saint."
Li Siqi was speechless. "Not only do I have to offend Consort Rong, but I also have to personally invite her to move in."
How could I not know she was so amazing?
Why don't they just go to heaven!
