Chapter 251 Chen agrees to flirt
Xiao Fuzi, who was guarding outside the imperial carriage of Emperor Kangxi, saw Chen Da Ying and her servant coming, and his eyes lightly swept over the box that Chen Da Ying was carrying. All along the way, Chen Da Ying had been ordered by Concubine Nianhulu to deliver things to the emperor, so he was not surprised by this.
"Little Fuzi, the eunuch." Chen agreed and stopped three steps away, knelt down and bowed to Little Fuzi:
"I am here to deliver sweet-scented osmanthus cake to His Majesty on the orders of His Majesty the Imperial Concubine. Please inform him."
Xiao Fuzi avoided Chen's gift... and quickly glanced at her thick and gorgeous face, which looked like a blooming crabapple flower. The color was really excellent, which was the opposite of Empress Xian's style.
It’s a pity, but it’s not certain. Who knows, she might be favored one day.
"I will notify you right away. Please promise to wait for a moment."
After that, he walked to the window of the imperial carriage and reported in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is here to bring you osmanthus cakes on the orders of Concubine Niu Hulu. Do you want to summon her?"
Inside the imperial carriage, Kangxi had just finished interrogating the princes about their knowledge to prevent them from neglecting their studies along the way. After the interrogation, he reviewed the urgent memorials that were sent to him. He had just finished reviewing them and was now leaning on the couch with his eyes closed to rest.
After hearing Xiao Fuzi's report, he kept his eyes closed and did not move. When Liang Jiugong saw the emperor's expression, he knew that he did not want to summon him again.
Along the way, the emperor accepted the things sent by Chen Da Ying out of respect for Concubine Nianhulu, but never summoned her.
At this time, he said familiarly:
"The emperor is busy, just put the things down."
Xiao Fuzi was not surprised, and said in her heart, "As expected," but she didn't show it on her face. She walked towards Chen Da Ying and said with a smile:
"The Emperor is busy, just promise to hand over the box to me."
Chen Da Ying seemed to have known this would happen. Without any hesitation, he handed the box to Xiao Fuzi and explained that the osmanthus cake inside was made today and it would be fresher if eaten early. After that, he took his personal maid Yue'er and said goodbye.
Xiao Fuzi was a little surprised. He opened the box and looked inside. Sure enough, the osmanthus cake inside looked soft and still steaming. He thought about it and decided to show it to Manager Liang first. Maybe the emperor would like to use it.
After hearing what Xiao Fuzi said, Liang Jiugong opened the lid of the box again, took a look at the osmanthus cake inside, thought for a moment, and asked the emperor for permission. The emperor had been busy all afternoon and had not eaten anything, so it would be good to fill his stomach.
However, Kangxi opened his eyes after hearing this, but he did not look at the steaming osmanthus cake. Instead, he stared at Liang Jiugong until Liang Jiugong's forehead broke out in sweat. Then he spoke lightly:
"Take it and divide it up."
After that, he said:
"See what Empress Xian is doing? Is she feeling unwell?" Although Shi Nanxi's motion sickness was better than the first time, she was still not used to it.
Liang Jiugong quickly closed the box, feeling annoyed that he had forgotten that the emperor hated others making decisions for him. He secretly cursed Xiao Fuzi for almost killing him, and said quickly:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and ask."
Without mentioning Liang Jiugong's survival, Chen promised to return home after delivering the snacks. Yue Er couldn't help complaining:
"My lady, you know that those sweet-scented osmanthus cakes will definitely go to the emperor's stomach again, so why do you make them yourself every time? Take this sweet-scented osmanthus cake for example, you have been busy since morning and just finished it now. In order to knead the cake, your hands have turned red, and you have not seen the emperor eat a piece."
Chen agreed frowned, stopped, lowered his voice, and warned:
"Yue'er, be careful with your words. If someone hears you talking nonsense about the emperor, I can't save you."
Yue'er was startled and looked around quickly. Seeing that no one heard what she had just said, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned a little pale.
"...My lady, I know I was wrong. I just felt sorry for you. All the food you sent to the emperor along the way was made by you yourself, but the emperor didn't know anything about it and had the imperial court divide it all. Noble Concubine Niuhulu knew this and forced you to send food every day. She also blamed you for being useless and not being summoned by the emperor. It's really too much."
As he spoke, he forgot about being afraid and became angry again.
Chen agreed to lower her eyes, her long black eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, she pursed her lips:
"Okay, I'm just fulfilling my duties as a concubine. We can't afford to offend Concubine Niu Hulu, so let's take it one step at a time."
Hearing this, Yue'er felt even more distressed for her own master. At this moment, they heard a noise behind them. The master and servant turned around and saw the emperor getting off the carriage. However, before they could be surprised, they saw the emperor walking straight in one direction.
The two followed their sight and saw Empress Xian not far away. Yue'er's joy instantly faded. She bit her lip and said unwillingly:
"Although Empress Xian is extremely beautiful, my lady is no worse than Empress Xian. It's just that the Emperor has never seen you. If he saw you, he would definitely dote on you."
Chen Da Ying looked at the scene of the emperor and his concubine reuniting in the distance. She tightened her grip on the handkerchief, but her face remained calm and uncomplaining.
"Don't say anything more. Empress Xian and the Emperor have a deep affection for each other. How can I interfere? I never wanted to compete for favor when I entered the palace. I just wanted to live in a corner and live in peace."
Yue Er became even more angry with her master after hearing this:
"My lady is also the emperor's concubine. How can you say that you are interfering? Don't worry. As long as the emperor sees you, he will definitely dote on you." She said with great certainty.
Chen Da Ying looked at the Emperor and Concubine Xian in the distance without saying a word.
Kangxi and Shi Nanxi, who were being watched, were also talking about Chen Da Ying.
"How did the emperor find time to come and see me? Didn't Chen Yingying go to bring you food? I wonder what kind of delicious food it is this time?"
Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi and then lowered her eyes.
Kangxi laughed, took the little girl's hand, and interlocked their fingers despite her struggle.
"I miss Empress Xian so much every day I don't see her. I wish I could see her every moment. I heard that Empress Xian came out for some fresh air, so I hurried over to see her. But why do I smell something sour?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to Shi Nanxi, pretending to want to smell it. Shi Nanxi was so scared that she quickly took a step back and said angrily:
"Your Majesty!" There were people everywhere around her, and if she was seen by others, her reputation as a demon concubine would really be confirmed.
Kangxi certainly knew the taboo, he was just teasing people on purpose, the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand to straighten the crooked hairpin on Shi Nanxi's head, pretending to be innocent:
"What's wrong, Nanxi? I noticed that the hairpin on your head was crooked, so I just helped you straighten it."
Shi Nanxi felt the slight movement above her head and realized that Kangxi did it on purpose. She glared at Kangxi angrily, turned around and ignored him, looking towards the somewhat bleak forest.
A smile flashed across Kangxi's eyes, and as the little girl looked towards the forest, he suggested:
"We'll be leaving in a while. How about I take you to the outskirts of the mountain? Don't worry, there won't be any danger out there."
Shi Nanxi had been riding in the carriage all the way and was almost falling apart. Hearing this, she became interested and nodded.
On the other side, Tong Jiawan got off the carriage.
