Chapter 978 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (15)
Chapter 978 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (15)
The next day.
The concubines of the harem flocked to Chengqian Palace.
Because they all knew that Consort Wei, who was conferred the title yesterday, was paying her respects to Consort Tong today.
Everyone was curious about who this person was.
She was entitled to the Empress Dowager's favor.
No matter how much envy or jealousy you feel.
They all made their way to Chengqian Palace at a fast pace.
Until almost everyone had arrived.
Finally, they heard from outside, "Consort Wei of Changchun Palace has arrived!"
The concubines couldn't help but turn to look upon hearing the sound.
A stunningly beautiful woman stepped inside.
A faint smile graced her flawless little face.
There were many beautiful women in the imperial harem, but it was rare to see such an exquisitely beautiful woman.
No wonder the Empress Dowager sent her to the Emperor's side.
Even if she isn't presented as a gift, the emperor will still take her into his harem once he sees her.
It can be said that this woman was destined to have a place in the imperial harem.
With this awareness, everyone felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.
Most importantly, they can't even feel jealousy.
Not to mention hating her.
This strange feeling made them very uncomfortable.
I can only try to ignore her existence.
"The royal concubine has arrived!"
At this time, Lady Tongjia had not yet been conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort.
She is still competing with Consort Wenxi.
Let's see who can snatch the position of Imperial Noble Consort or Empress.
The concubines rose to greet him and bowed.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine! May the Imperial Concubine be blessed!"
"Be flat!"
Consort Tong casually gave an order.
His gaze fell on the person standing in the center, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. "You are the Wei family of Changchun Palace?"
Li Siqi bowed again, "This concubine, Wei Shi of Changchun Palace, greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort!"
"I am not the Empress."
Consort Tong cautiously replied, "I am merely managing the harem for the Emperor."
I am not worthy to drink your tea.
However, I am of a high position, so you can simply offer a deep bow.
All the newly arrived concubines were the same.
"Yes!"
Li Siqi, who was prepared, didn't mind.
He performed a deep bow with utmost respect.
"Woke up!"
Consort Tong gave an order, then addressed the person seated at the head of the table on the left, "This is Consort Wen!"
"This humble concubine greets Consort Wen!"
"No gift!"
"And there are Consort Hui, Consort Rong, Consort Ping, Consort Xuan, Consort Jing..."
With the introductions, Li Siqi was able to recognize all the women in the harem.
She still had to perform the proper bowing.
Of course, some concubines don't need to be bothered with.
This time she finally met the pregnant Uya.
She looks like a delicate, innocent flower.
There are also the elder and younger Guo Luoluo clans, and the acquaintance Dai Jia clan, etc.
There weren't many concubines during this period, only about a dozen or twenty.
It must be said that Emperor Kangxi had quite a few women.
Li Siqi sat in her seat and listened as Consort Tong routinely inquired about the concubines who had children or were pregnant.
Without engaging in further idle chatter, he dismissed the concubines.
"Consort Wei!"
Dai Jia walked up to her, looked at her and smiled, "Do you remember me?"
"of course I remember."
Li Siqi nodded slightly and asked as she walked out, "I wonder what brings Consort Dai Jia here?"
"Nothing."
Dai Jia's smile faltered. "I never expected to see you again."
"Since they're all in the harem, it's normal for them to meet."
As Li Siqi walked out of Chengqian Palace, she saw that Consort Rong had not yet left.
They were clearly waiting for Dai Jia.
Consort Rong is the principal consort of Zhongcui Palace.
Dai Jiashi dared not offend her, so she quickly stepped forward.
Consort Rong glanced at her indifferently and ordered, "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Daijia responded docilely.
They watched as the concubines almost all left.
Li Siqi led her people toward Kangshou Palace.
Today's greeting seemed very calm; it was just a brief exchange.
Li Siqi didn't believe that they were all beautiful and kind-hearted people.
We soon arrived at Kangshou Palace.
Granny Bunni smiled when she saw her, "I didn't expect that you would come here, young mistress."
This old servant was just about to have your things sent over.
"Thank you, mama."
Li Siqi then asked, "I came from Kangshou Palace and wish to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
"May I ask if you, Granny, could inform her for me?"
"The Empress Dowager knows you're here."
Granny Bunni smiled and said, "Please come in with me, young master."
"it is good!"
Li Siqi followed her into the main hall.
I spent more than two years at Kangshou Palace.
This was her first time entering the main hall of Kangshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager's attitude remained as kind as ever.
After accepting her greeting, he gave her a few words of advice on how to serve the Emperor well.
They gave her a generous reward and then sent her away.
We arrived at the small side room.
Li Siqi met Aunt Hutu.
"Your Highness has arrived."
Aunt Hutu bowed and said, "Your things are still in the room. Let me pack them for you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you!"
Li Siqi walked in and took a look.
It looked no different when she left.
Chunlan stood to the side, her face showing a mixture of nervousness and excitement. "This servant greets Your Highness!"
"Chunlan, you're welcome."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "I'm leaving here."
Thank you so much for helping me all this time.
"Little Master!"
Chunlan's eyes welled up with tears as she said, "We agreed to help each other, so you don't need to thank me."
Actually, you've helped me a lot too.
I... I can't bear to see you leave.
As she spoke, she gazed longingly at Li Siqi.
They looked like they wanted to be packed up and taken away.
Li Siqi smiled silently, naturally understanding her thoughts.
He chuckled softly, "You are from Kangshou Palace, I dare not take you away."
If the nanny is willing to let you go.
You can come to Changchun Palace to see me anytime.
"My lady, I've got it."
Chunlan nodded vigorously, having already decided in her heart that she would go to Changchun Palace.
Aunt Hutu looked somewhat helpless.
She didn't know what to say.
The things were packed up quickly.
Actually, there weren't many; they were mostly clothes and jewelry.
Two or three people can take it.
After saying goodbye to those he knew, he returned to Changchun Palace with his entourage.
When the concubines in the harem found out, they didn't know what to say.
There are two large Buddha statues behind him.
Who would dare to court death!
Upon returning to Changchun Palace, they found the people in front of the emperor.
Li Siqi then knew that the Emperor had arrived.
As expected, she saw Emperor Kangxi upon entering. "This concubine greets Your Majesty."
"My dear, please get up!"
Kangxi glanced at her and smiled, "You went to Kangshou Palace?"
"Yes!"
Li Siqi said calmly, “Now that I have left Kangshou Palace, I should kowtow to the Empress Dowager to bid her farewell!”
"You have a heart."
Emperor Kangxi nodded with a smile, "Come and sit down."
Don't you feel tired after doing all this all morning?
Or is it that I didn't try hard enough yesterday?
"emperor."
Li Siqi stared at him speechlessly.
It's surprising that even emperors have the same male flaws.
I like this tone.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Kangxi looked at her, her face flushed despite her serious expression.
He's just so adorable, his tone teasing, "My beloved concubine, how about I try even harder tonight?"
Li Siqi looked at him earnestly, "Alright, Your Majesty, do your best!"
