Chapter 987 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (24)
"Miss!"
Cuilan panicked and quickly explained, "This servant has already had someone take action."
I just don't know why..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Consort De interrupted the other party's explanation directly, because she knew very well that there was no point in pursuing the matter further.
If Consort Liang is not pregnant, she can still get some physical help.
She's pregnant now.
She dared not make another move.
After all, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are not people to be trifled with.
Perhaps everyone is aware of this.
Li Siqi's pregnancy was peaceful.
This peaceful life made many of the concubines who had suffered envy and jealousy.
Kangshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager looked at her belly with a smile, "Is the little one being good?"
Is there anything you'd like to eat?
"I'll have someone do it for you."
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "My diet is fairly normal."
The imperial physicians examined the child's pulse and all said the child was developing very well.
In a few months, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager will be able to see him.
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
The Empress Dowager smiled broadly, "My Kangshou Palace is very quiet. After the child is born, bring him here to keep me company more often."
Even if you leave the child here, I promise I'll take good care of him/her.
These words carried a hint of probing.
Li Siqi naturally understood, and smiled happily at her, "I couldn't be happier to have such a good thing."
If I ever get tired of taking care of the child in the future...
"We must send him to Kangshou Palace; as long as the Empress Dowager doesn't mind, that's fine."
"Of course I will not despise your child."
The Empress Dowager beamed with delight, "If you're willing to send him over, I'll take good care of him for you."
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is truly beautiful and kind-hearted; I am so fortunate!"
"You child, your words are like honey, you always know how to make me happy."
"What I said is the truth!"
……
We left Kangshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the people around her and smiled, "It seems I need to make a trip to Cining Palace."
"Master, there's no rush."
Granny Bunni smiled slightly, "Consort Liang will not give birth for another two months."
You have time to bring this up with the Empress Dowager.
"The Ai family knows."
The Empress Dowager was in a good mood. "By the way, Buni, find her a midwife. I don't want anything to happen to her and her child."
If anyone dares to lay a hand on them, just chop off their claws.
Just because I didn't interfere in affairs before doesn't mean I was unaware of those people's methods.
If the Emperor hadn't been so careless, the Sixth and Seventh Princes wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"It's all arranged. Remember to let Consort Liang know."
"My slave understands!"
……
Li Siqi naturally accepted the Empress Dowager's kind offer.
When Emperor Kangxi learned of this, he couldn't help but frown.
His gaze toward Li Siqi also carried a hint of scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Li Siqi looked puzzled. "Wasn't it the Emperor who asked the Empress Dowager for help?"
"Uh, no!"
Kangxi's expression froze. "She arranged it herself."
"I never expected that the Empress Dowager would protect me."
Li Siqi responded with a smile, "It seems that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager really wants to see the child in my belly."
"Do you know what the Empress Dowager means?"
Upon hearing her words, Kangxi raised an eyebrow. "You agreed?"
"Say yes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kangxi's expression instantly turned ugly.
Li Siqi pretended not to see it and continued, "The Empress Dowager instructed me to take the children to see her more often in the future."
Of course I will not refuse.
Besides, the Empress Dowager is the child's grandmother.
It's quite normal to visit them frequently.
"Is that what the Empress Dowager told you?"
Emperor Kangxi was extremely surprised. "Could it be that my beloved concubine has made a mistake?"
Or have we misunderstood the Empress Dowager's meaning?
"A misunderstanding?"
Li Siqi paused for a moment, then said, "No."
The Empress Dowager did indeed instruct me to take the child to visit her more often.
Or, when I am feeling troubled and do not want to take care of the child, I will send him to Kangshou Palace.
Let the child accompany the Empress Dowager.
These are all things that I promised the Empress Dowager.
How could there be a misunderstanding?
"that's it?"
Emperor Kangxi felt that he must have misunderstood.
After all, when Consort Yi gave birth to the Fifth Prince, she wanted to send him to Kangshou Palace.
However, the Empress Dowager refused and did not grant Consort Yi's request.
Of course, he wouldn't agree.
As for the child in her womb...
Emperor Kangxi stared at Li Siqi's belly and fell silent.
If it's to keep the Empress Dowager company and relieve her boredom, or to stay for a few days.
He wouldn't mind.
He did not want to agree to be raised entirely by the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty must have misunderstood."
Li Siqi smiled gently and stroked her belly, "Of course, I hope the child I give birth to will be by my side."
Your Majesty, you won't send him away, will you?
The sixth and seventh princes were both raised by their birth mother.
My children should be treated the same way.
At most, I'll stay at Kangshou Palace for a few days.
"Your Majesty, you must grant my request."
"Okay, I promise you."
Having already made up his mind, Kangxi smiled and agreed.
really.
When paying respects to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager, who usually didn't get involved in anything, mentioned the child in Consort Liang's belly to him.
"Your Majesty, your stepmother came to the Forbidden City at a very young age."
The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "She has wasted her whole life in the palace, and now she feels lonely and wants to raise a grandson to liven things up."
I really can't refuse her request."
"Grandmother, your grandson knows."
Kangxi nodded, "It is indeed much quieter around the Empress Dowager."
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are at their most troublesome stage right now, so it's not appropriate to send them to Kangshou Palace.
The Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince are not a good match.
It could even cause trouble for the Empress Dowager if you're not careful.
Only the child in Consort Liang's womb is suitable.
I have already instructed her to bring the baby to Kangshou Palace to keep the Empress Dowager company when she gives birth.
When the Empress Dowager is in good spirits, she can stay at Kangshou Palace for two days.
Kangshou Palace will be more lively, and the Empress Dowager won't need to work too hard.
After all, when the child starts crying, the grandson is afraid that his mother won't be able to handle it.
It would be better to bring the child along when you want to see him and have some fun, and let Consort Liang take care of the child's care.
What does Grandmother think?
"This……"
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly.
She knew, of course, that her niece wanted to adopt a prince.
Now, hearing what the emperor said, it is clear that he is unwilling to leave a prince entirely in Kangshou Palace to be raised.
She could only be raised together with the prince's birth mother.
That's not impossible, it just depends on whether Qiqige can accept it.
"Grandmother, the child is delicate."
Kangxi continued to persuade him, "In my heart, I feel that it is more comforting for the children to be cared for by their birth mother."
Princes and princesses, especially those with poor health, need more careful care.
The grandson decided that from now on, the principal concubines of each palace would be qualified to raise children.
For concubines below the rank of Noble Lady, the children they gave birth to were given to the principal concubine of their palace, depending on where they lived.
They were raised jointly by the principal concubine and their birth mother.
Grandmother, what do you think?
