Chapter 998 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (35)
Chapter 998 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (35)
"To be honest, Master, the Crown Prince does indeed harbor hostility towards Changchun Palace."
The little pot revealed the news he had just learned: "The prince thinks it's already good that the master has one son."
It doesn't want its owner to get pregnant again.
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "So, he was frightened by the number of pregnant women in his harem?"
"A little."
Little Pot continued, "Most importantly, he always felt that his master was a favored concubine."
Moreover, he held a certain weight in Kangxi's heart.
He doesn't want his owner to have more children.
If Wei hadn't been a bondservant, he probably would have already turned against his master.
"Kangxi spoiled him rotten."
Li Siqi gently shook her head, "Such pampering, treating him like an emperor in every way."
It's normal that he doesn't respect any of his half-brothers.
It's normal for women to be hostile towards the harem.
Ten years from now, everything he does now will become leverage against him.
Ultimately, it all comes down to favoritism.
Xiao Huzi complained again, "The one who's so biased is still Emperor Kangxi. It would be strange if father and son didn't end up becoming enemies."
……
this day.
Li Siqi had just walked out of Kangshou Palace.
Upon seeing Consort Xuan waiting for him, he couldn't help but ask, "Consort Xuan, what brings you here?"
"Wait for you."
Consort Xuan smiled and said, "I would like to visit Changchun Palace. I wonder if Consort Liang would welcome me?"
"Of course you're welcome!"
Li Siqi had no idea why she had come to see her.
Since they've come to her, Li Siqi won't refuse.
The two returned to Changchun Palace together.
After sitting down.
Consort Xuan cut to the chase, "You must be very curious as to why I'm looking for you."
"I am indeed quite curious."
Li Siqi nodded. "But now that Consort Xuan is here, I believe you will speak up."
"of course."
Consort Xuan raised her eyebrows. "Since you came from Kangshou Palace, I'll let you know."
Consort Ping seems to be paying special attention to you.
You should still be careful.
As for what she plans to do...
"I'm not entirely sure either, I only know that they definitely want to get back at you."
"Thank you, Consort Xuan."
Li Siqi was not surprised. "The young master has grown up, so naturally he will pay more attention to his younger brothers."
Coincidentally, Xiao Ba was favored by the Empress Dowager.
I can be considered a favored concubine.
It's perfectly normal for them to be preparing to make a move.
"I didn't expect you to know everything."
Consort Xuan's expression was somewhat complicated. "Since you know what's going on, I won't meddle in your affairs."
In short, be careful.
"it is good."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "In any case, I appreciate your kindness."
If you ever need my help with anything in the future.
I will certainly provide assistance to the best of my ability.
"forget it."
Consort Xuan waved her hand dismissively, "What could possibly happen to me?"
I have no chance of being favored, nor can I have children.
People would consider it a waste of their time to deal with someone like me.
"Nobody knows what the future holds."
Li Siqi responded softly, "My promise is valid indefinitely. All Consort Xuan needs to do is send someone to say so."
"You've really thought ahead."
Consort Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, I'll remember that."
……
Chatted for a while.
Consort Xuan left quickly.
In the afternoon, Emperor Kangxi appeared at Changchun Palace.
After exchanging greetings...
The two sat down together.
Seeing Kangxi's tired appearance.
Li Siqi asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's troubling you this time?"
"I have a lot to do."
Emperor Kangxi sighed, "There are many things to do in the court, and the harem is also in turmoil."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He casually asked, "I heard that Consort Xuan came to see you?"
"Yes!"
Li Siqi nodded calmly, "Let's discuss preparing a gift for the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager's birthday is indeed approaching soon."
Kangxi smiled and asked, "What gifts have you prepared?"
"Everyone prepares roughly the same things every year."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Consort Xuan asked me to discuss whether we could send a different kind of gift."
She looked at him and said, “Your Majesty, speaking of which, I have actually come up with a good idea.”
It's a pity I don't know if it can be completed.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Kangxi was a little surprised and joked with a smile, "Tell me about it too."
"Your Majesty, I originally intended for her to paint some Mongolian landscapes."
Li Siqi responded frankly, "Then we embroidered the Mongolian paintings together and made them into a screen, which we gave to the Empress Dowager as a birthday gift."
Unexpectedly, Consort Xuan said that his painting skills were not good enough and that he probably couldn't paint it.
I have never been to the borderlands, nor have I ever seen a real Mongol.
I am also unable to paint a landscape in the Mongolian style.
I wonder if Your Majesty can help me?
"Would it be alright if someone painted a few landscapes of Mongolia for me?"
"You're really good at finding people."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi chuckled and said, "Alright, I agree."
I'll send you some Mongolian paintings later.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
"You!"
The doubts in Kangxi's heart were erased.
He didn't test the person in front of him again.
The next day.
After he left.
Li Siqi frowned and communicated with Xiaohuzi with her eyes closed, "What's going on? Are the Crown Prince and Suo'etu both targeting me?"
"Whoever is the master is the most favored."
Xiao Huzi laughed and said, "Even though Emperor Kangxi has been extremely busy lately, he still spends the most time staying at Changchun Palace."
In addition, our little Ba is getting cuter and cuter.
It's perfectly normal for the Crown Prince and Suo'etu to feel threatened.
"wrong."
Li Siqi frowned. "Shouldn't Hesheli be eyeing Consort De's sixth prince?"
Why are you targeting me?
"Master's guess is correct."
Xiao Huzi nodded and replied, "Suo'etu is indeed planning to kill the Sixth Prince first."
The sixth prince's name, 'Zuo,' was a thorn in the side for both him and the crown prince.
We must remove the thorn in the side of the Sixth Prince.
They won't feel at ease.
It's quite normal for them to set their sights on their owners.
The main reason is that they don't want their owner to have more children.
He could still tell that his master held a special place in Kangxi's heart.
In the prince's eyes, it was as if his master had usurped his mother's place.
They didn't directly kill the master, perhaps because they were afraid of alerting Emperor Kangxi, which is why they chose this method.
"Song'etu and the Crown Prince are practically courting their own doom."
Li Siqi was also annoyed by their thought process. "The Crown Prince is protected by the dragon's aura, so we can't do anything to him."
"Then let's start with Songgotu."
Li Siqi sneered, "What do you mean by breaking your leg in a wrestling match, being thrown to the ground by a horse, having your ribs broken, or being drugged with aphrodisiacs? Do whatever you want with me."
As long as they don't die, it's fine.
"Don't worry, Master, I will make sure that Suo'etu enjoys these 'benefits'."
A cold glint flashed in Xiaohuzi's eyes. "If they dare to bully us, we'll see if they can bear the consequences."
Moreover, the Hesheli clan were not kind people.
Teaching them a lesson won't diminish our merit.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Li Siqi then asked, "If I remember correctly, is Emperor Kangxi preparing to personally lead a military campaign?"
"Yes, Master, Kangxi is preparing to send troops to conquer Galdan of the Oirat Mongols."
Xiao Huzi explained, "The eldest prince will definitely accompany the emperor, and the crown prince will definitely oversee the country."
The two brothers have started fighting.
Although it's not yet time for the nine princes to fight each other, the main players are the eldest prince and the crown prince.
Of course, there are also the pearls behind them and Suo'etu.
It's fair to say that these past ten years have been their domain.
