Chapter 815: Startling Heart Mingyu 27

"Why? Why can she get pregnant with the Emperor's child? How am I worse than her?" Concubine Xi roared in anger, her pretty face distorted with jealousy.

The personal maid replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, calm down. How can you compare to that Guo Luoluo? She just relied on her beauty to seduce the emperor."

After hearing this, Concubine Xi calmed down a little and sneered, "Foxish? I want to see how long this foxy girl can be so proud!"

A few days later, Kangxi hosted a banquet for the princes and concubines to celebrate Mingyu's pregnancy. During the banquet, there was drinking and singing, and the scene was full of joy and peace.

Mingyu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking elegant and graceful, and accepted everyone's congratulations accompanied by Kangxi. She had a happy smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with the radiance of motherhood.

Xipin sat aside, watching Mingyu and Kangxi's affectionate relationship, and she was burning with jealousy. She picked up the wine glass and drank it all, trying to suppress her anger. However, the effect of alcohol made her even more impulsive.

She suddenly stood up, walked in front of Mingyu, and said with a fake smile: "Congratulations, Noble Concubine, congratulations, Noble Concubine, now you are pregnant with a dragon seed, it is really a cause for celebration."

Mingyu didn't even raise her eyelids, she just took a sip of tea, as if Concubine Xi didn't exist. Seeing this, Kangxi frowned slightly and looked at Concubine Xi with some displeasure.

"Princess Xi, I remember that you have always been well-educated and well-mannered. What happened today?" Although Kangxi's tone was gentle, it carried a hint of warning.

Her face froze, and she secretly hated Mingyu for ignoring her, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Kangxi, so she had to force a smile and said, "I was just happy to see that the imperial concubine was pregnant, and I made a slip of the tongue. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Kangxi glanced at her without saying anything, and turned to Mingyu with concern: "Yu'er, are you feeling unwell? I see that you look a little pale."

Mingyu covered her mouth, frowned slightly, and pretended to be nauseated. She said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, when I look at Concubine Xi, I feel a little... sick."

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Kangxi's face also darkened instantly, and his eyes swept towards Xipin with a sharp gaze. Xipin had been forcing a smile, and now she was even more stiff, as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and it hurt like a fire.

She forced a smile, but her voice was trembling: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am in good health, how could I..."

“Ugh—” Mingyu didn’t wait for her to finish and dry-heaved exaggeratedly. Her slender body trembled slightly, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Seeing this, Kangxi quickly stood up and supported Mingyu, his eyes full of concern: "Yu'er, are you okay? Imperial physician! Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Mingyu leaned naturally in Kangxi's arms, weak and boneless, but glanced at Concubine Xi with a barely perceptible hint of pride.

Concubine Xi was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. She could only watch as the imperial physician hurried over and surrounded Mingyu, asking about her health.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine is..." After the imperial physician took the pulse, he looked at Kangxi hesitantly.

Mingyu coughed lightly at the right time and said softly, "I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I can't stand the smell of certain... cosmetics, so I feel dizzy and nauseous."

As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Xi meaningfully again.

Xipin's face turned pale. She had specially used the newly made perfume powder today, and the smell was indeed a bit strong. But Mingyu was clearly making a veiled criticism, implying that the smell of her perfume was pungent!

Kangxi was very smart, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning of Mingyu's words. He frowned and looked at Xipin unhappily: "Xipin, you smell a little too much powder today, be careful next time."

Concubine Xi felt extremely aggrieved, but she dared not argue, and could only respond in a low voice: "Yes, I will follow the emperor's instructions."

Seeing this, Mingyu smiled in her heart, but her face still looked weak. She leaned in Kangxi's arms, enjoying the emperor's care.

The atmosphere at the banquet became tense because of Mingyu's "nausea". The concubines looked at Mingyu and Kangxi's affectionate appearance, and each of them had their own thoughts in their minds.

Seeing her sister so "smart", Eighth Lady Minghui was both relieved and worried. She knew her sister was pure and kind, and although her actions were for self-protection, they would inevitably offend others.

In this harem, every step is thrilling and one could be doomed if one is not careful.

Concubine Xi took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her chest. She knew that showing weakness at this moment was for the purpose of counterattack in the future.

Kangxi's partiality is obvious, and Mingyu is even more reckless by relying on the emperor's favor. She won't let it go like this, she can't swallow this!

"Your Highness, your body is delicate, and I am usually careless and rude. I didn't realize that the perfume powder offended your Highness. It's my fault."

As Concubine Xi spoke, she took out an exquisite sachet from her sleeve and presented it with both hands: "This sachet was made by me, and it contains the spices I usually use. I hope your majesty can give me some pointers, so that I can be more careful in the future and not offend you again."

Kangxi was startled. What was this Concubine Xi up to? His precious Yu'er's body could not be touched by others.

Who knows what is in this sachet? If it is something harmful to Yu'er, wouldn't he regret it?

Kangxi pushed away the sachet handed to him by Concubine Xi. The sachet drew an arc in the air and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

"I appreciate Concubine Xi's kindness. But Yu'er is precious, so you'd better be cautious with these things." Although Kangxi's tone was gentle, it carried unquestionable majesty.

Concubine Xi's face froze, and she forced a smile and said, "It was my fault for not thinking it through."

She gritted her teeth, secretly hating him but not daring to show it on her face.

Kangxi gently embraced Mingyu and said in a soft voice, "Yu'er, are you feeling better? My dear, I was so scared."

He stroked Mingyu's back gently, his eyes full of doting. Mingyu leaned tenderly in his arms and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, I just felt a little uncomfortable just now."

She raised her head, her eyes moving, and glanced at Concubine Xi with a look of anger and resentment. The charm of that glance made Kangxi feel even more pity for her.

When Concubine Xi saw that Kangxi was so concerned about Mingyu, she was burning with jealousy, but she could only suppress it.

After the banquet, Kangxi supported Mingyu and slowly returned to the palace. Along the way, Mingyu leaned on Kangxi weakly, coughing from time to time, which made Kangxi feel distressed.

Back at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi dismissed his attendants, leaving Mingyu alone. He gently helped Mingyu to the couch and asked with concern, "Yu'er, are you tired today?"

Mingyu panted slightly and said softly, "I am fine, but the fetus in my belly is a little unstable. The doctor said I need to rest."

Kangxi held Mingyu's hand, his eyes full of pity: "Yu'er has suffered, I will definitely reward you well."
