These words were like a thunderclap, crossing the night sky and striking the emperor's heart hard!
Yikun Palace suddenly became quiet.
The palace maids knelt down with a swoosh, shivering, and prostrated on the ground. Nanny Dong's face was pale with cold sweat pouring down. Liang Jiugong was on the verge of collapse, wishing he could be blind and deaf, disappear on the spot, and never hear what Master Yi said.
Jealous, vicious, narrow-minded... My queen, how can you say such self-deprecating words
"I am not worthy of the emperor's love and respect." He even mentioned Concubine De. This is a rebuke! This is extremely disrespectful!
It's over. It's over.
How can this be!
How can His Majesty be sad and angry? !
Liang Jiugong guessed correctly.
Kangxi was stunned for a long time, his smile slowly disappeared, and his face became darker and darker.
He held the dazed Xiaojiu in his arms, turned around several times, paced back and forth, and said "hello" three times in a row.
The emperor suddenly walked around the screen, ignoring the servants' exclamations, suppressed his anger, and stared straight at Yunxiu on the couch: "Concubine Yi, is this what you really think?"
The emperor barged in despite the filthiness of the delivery room...
Yun Xiu was startled and then a little dazed.
He had almost never been angry in front of Yun Xiu, and he was smiling every day. Suddenly, his warmth faded away, and he became like thunder, leaving only the majesty of an emperor, as if he were in another world.
Yun Xiu felt a little disappointed, but not afraid at all, let alone regretful.
Since she had that dream, she woke up and had a clear understanding of the emperor's favor.
—True love is illusory and hard to find. She had been dreaming for her whole life, but wasn’t it all in vain
Now that she had given birth to Xiaojiu, she suddenly felt tired and no longer wanted to deceive the emperor.
Be honest, it's good for everyone.
Yun Xiu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes, that's what I really think. I'm tired and don't want to compete with them for a man. The delivery room is filthy, Your Majesty, please move on."
She was wearing a pure white undergarment, her lips were pale, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she must be still suffering from the pain of childbirth. Only three points of her former beauty remained, and she rarely showed weakness. When she spoke, she was tired and a faint sound came out of her nose.
After seeing the person in person, Kangxi's anger was instantly reduced by half; when Yunxiu spoke, the emperor no longer had any anger in his heart.
He stared at Yunxiu, and Yunxiu stared at the quilt. There was silence in the delivery room.
"I said I would give you an explanation." Kangxi was silent for a long time, turned his head away, and said stiffly, "There is no need to say those angry words. It is important to take care of your health. I will follow your wishes and no longer come to Yikun Palace... I will no longer pamper you."
Although he said that, he still held the swaddling clothes tightly, and his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, not moving an inch.
Yun Xiu: “…”
Her face turned pale and she became speechless, looking at Kangxi in disbelief.
She had committed such a crime and said all kinds of cruel words, but in the eyes of the emperor, she was just saying "angry words"?!
Yun Xiu laughed out of anger and said tactfully: "Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. Please keep your word..."
Before she finished speaking, Kangxi quietly put down the swaddling clothes, interrupted her words, and said expressionlessly: "I will not break my promise."
As he spoke, he bent down and tucked the quilt in for her, and the next moment, he left in a huff.

Yinzhen was greatly frightened!
He felt as if he was in a cloud and fog, dazed and unable to react for a long time.
My mother said that she was jealous and vicious, and that she made the emperor favor someone else. Every word she said was heartbreaking and full of sarcasm.
Even after all this, the Emperor still seemed reluctant. He was very strong when he hugged him just now, and when he let him go, there was a hint of reluctance.
Yinzhen was shocked: "..."
Then, because of the hunger coming from deep in his soul, he couldn't control his tears.
While crying, I was thinking, did this happen in my previous life
The mother was so powerful that she openly disliked the emperor and drove him away openly. What was even more terrifying was that the emperor actually suppressed his anger!
In his previous life, if the prince had said this, Yinzhen could guarantee that the old man would never let him off easily, even though he was the old man’s sweetheart.
Why
—Could it be that the Emperor was really bewitched by his mother’s beauty
In this life, the relationship between the Emperor and the Mother seemed to be reversed. Yinzhen thought this was very absurd, but after feeling the absurdity, he felt a little secretly happy.
This is good, very good. My mother finally opened her eyes and decided not to hang on this crooked tree.
Yinzhen was so happy that he was not even so resistant to his wet nurse approaching him.
The little baby closed his big black eyes and smacked his lips. It must be his father's rebirth that brought about these changes. Mother is wise!

When the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, it was time for bed.
Along the way, Kangxi closed his eyes tightly, his face as gloomy as water, causing Liang Jiugong beside him to not dare to breathe, shrink his neck, and groan in his heart.
When he returned to the palace, he had already foreseen how furious the Emperor would be.
In the past, there was Concubine Yi to comfort and calm her down, but now, it’s of no use at all!
The two ancestors fell out with each other, and the one who suffered was not him, a servant, right
Kangxi stroked the jade ring, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly said: "Tell me, how have I let her down?" He actually made her say such cruel words despite her tired body.
Liang Jiugong used to be able to make some jokes, but now he absolutely dared not do so.
He bent down in embarrassment and kept his mouth shut like a mute. He couldn't stop thinking in his heart, I don't know.
How would I know
Kangxi did not expect Liang Jiugong to say anything. He laughed deeply, waited until he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, pursed his lips and got off the sedan chair.
He dotes on her too much.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is no longer a case of being arrogant due to favor, but a case of turning the tables and rebelling!
In a moment, the emperor's furious voice was heard from the warm room: "What a man of his word... Will I break my promise?! I followed her wishes! I decree that Xiu and Yi Fei are disrespectful to the emperor and are ordered to rest—"
After understanding what was not said, Liang Jiugong was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, hugged Kangxi's legs tightly, and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can't do this, I can't do this!"
Once the imperial decree is issued, there is no chance of turning back, and it is too late to regret!
The chief steward interrupted the emperor for the first time. He was filled with fear and sweat, but he couldn't think too much at this time.
He swallowed his saliva, exerted the greatest courage in his life, and quickly dissuaded: "Your Majesty! It is said that giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell. The Empress Yi was so frightened when she gave birth. Wasn't it like walking through the gates of hell? The Fifth Prince fell into the water, and the Ninth Prince was born. Who knows how terrified and desperate the Empress must have been! That's why she said such a stupid thing!"
“How dare you…” Kangxi raised his foot to kick him, but slowly, he fell silent.
Liang Jiugong was delighted and felt relieved as long as he listened to it.
He racked his brains and thought hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he continued: "The queen is weak after giving birth, and she is relying on the emperor, but her attitude is so abnormal... It must be that those villains have been gossiping in front of the queen. Think about it, are there such signs on weekdays? I think that Master Yi, as a mother, must have her own difficulties!"
These words of dissuasion really touched Kangxi's heart.
As soon as the words "mother" came out, Kangxi's breathing stagnated, his eyes darkened, and his breath became much softer.
He hummed, as if he had found a step to go down.
Liang Jiugong gave □□, and the emperor immediately climbed up. Kangxi's lips relaxed and he looked down at him: "Get up."
The voice was still filled with anger, but it was much better than before.
Liang Jiugong wiped his forehead as if he had just survived a disaster, exhaled, and collapsed to the ground, half crying and half laughing, and uttered dryly: "Your Majesty, this servant, this servant can't get up."
Kangxi glanced at him, turned the jade ring, and did not blame him. After a while, he said calmly: "Concubine Yi...what is your difficulty?"
Liang Jiugong: “…”
The chief steward felt a little upset for some reason.
Putting his fear aside for the moment, he thought angrily, "You ask me, but who should I ask?"
With a dry laugh, Liang Jiugong answered cautiously: "The Queen said that the Emperor should find someone else... Uh, I am stupid and can't guess."
Kangxi slowly narrowed his eyes and stopped moving his hands.
Yes, Concubine De.
Although Xiuxiu said it in anger, she would not mention others for no reason.
What did Uya do
Kangxi rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Investigate the Fifth Prince's case thoroughly. It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. I have said that I will give an explanation to Master Yi... Concubine Yi."
After that, he paused and said, "Pay attention to Yonghe Palace. If you can't find out, you can lose your head."
His life was threatened by his master, Liang Jiugong answered yes with shaking hands, feeling that his life was shortened by several years.
Being a slave is difficult, and being the emperor’s personal slave is even more difficult!
After serving the emperor to bed, he was about to leave when he heard Kangxi's order: "Go, bring in the Buddhist scriptures hanging in the study."
"Your Majesty," Liang Jiugong held his breath and asked hoarsely, "What do you want the Buddhist scriptures for?"
Oh my God.
That was the Buddhist scripture presented by Concubine Yi, and she had copied it by hand. What if the emperor saw it and was reminded of someone, or even took the opportunity to get angry, what should we do
"What's the use?" Kangxi sneered, "Watching it will calm your mind and make you peaceful. It will be very useful."
Liang Jiugong: “…”
"Yes, yes." The corners of his mouth twitched, and he ran out quickly, as if there was a ghost chasing him.
***
"If Concubine Yi is arrogant and disrespectful, you don't have to consider my feelings..."
The bright yellow bed curtains, the skinny backs of the hands, and the bellows-like breathing created an extremely obscure picture.
What caught my eye was a pair of desperate peach blossom eyes, no longer as lively as they were in their youth. Not only had they lost their luster, but they were also covered with deep wrinkles.
As he looked into those eyes, his breathing somehow sank and his heart suddenly ached.
…
The next day, early morning.
The sky was slightly bright with a faint light. The morning light was lurking behind the dusk, just waiting to break through the shackles and welcome the first ray of sunshine.
Recalling last night's dream, Kangxi turned over and sat on the bed in a daze.
Apart from the words "arrogant and disrespectful", he could not remember anything else.
Hiding the turmoil in his heart and the gradually deepening sense of guilt, when Liang Jiugong entered the palace lightly, Kangxi pulled at the curtains, coughed, and said, "After the morning court session, I will go to the Yikun Palace."
Manager Liang paused and asked, "What did you say?"
The emperor explained with a straight face: "I promised Concubine Yi that I would never break my promise! I am going to see Xiaojiu."
Liang Jiugong: “…”
The author has something to say: Chief Steward Liang said tiredly: As long as you are happy.
