Chapter 221 Yixiu. 61
It was the end of the year again. Yixiu looked at the thick layer of snow covering the courtyard and said to Jianqiu, "It's snowing heavily again this year. Time flies."
"Yes, everything that Fu Jin ordered has been done. Everything is in place. Don't worry."
Jianqiu was reporting the situation while adding charcoal to the pile with his hands.
Yixiu felt the warmth on his body and sighed, "Life is not easy, give them more rewards. So that they know that their work for me is not in vain."
"Yes, I have been doing this for all these years."
Huichun and Xiaoyue went out to cut some winter plums and put them in a vase. When they placed them on the table on the kang, they smiled and said, "Look, Fujin, the plum blossoms outside are in full bloom. I cut some and brought them here. They are so fragrant."
Xiaoyue has been in Qingyin Pavilion for a year. Not only has she gained more experience, but she has also grown taller and acted more steadily. She can now stand on her own.
Now he is neither humble nor arrogant, which is quite interesting.
It has been a long time since Kangxi left in anger. Yixiu has not seen him. She is counting the days, wondering when Kangxi will finally save his face.
Although he was angry, he was still rational. At least Honghui was not angered by him.
Yinzhen: “???”
He was not the one being targeted, but I was!
Yixiu didn't care, as long as her son was fine.
This year, Yixiu was supposed to be brought along to the palace banquet, but she declined, saying, "Fujin, I am not feeling well and cannot accompany you and the prince into the palace."
Rouze looked at her, nodded and said, "Then Xiaoyi, you should have a good rest. I will greet your mother on your behalf and will take good care of Honghui when he returns."
"Thank you so much, Madam."
Yixiu stayed in Qingyin Pavilion and had a comfortable dinner. The servants in Qingyin Pavilion were given a New Year's Eve dinner prepared by the small kitchen. They ate in the small kitchen on several tables.
Yixiu felt comfortable, but Kangxi, who had been looking forward to the New Year's Eve banquet and counting the days, became unhappy.
Everyone saw Kangxi come in and take a look around the hall, then he was shivering all over. They were puzzled as to why the Emperor suddenly got angry. I'm afraid only Concubine De knew something about this.
At first, Defei thought that the Emperor had really let go of Yixiu, but when Kangxi never entered the harem and was often angry, she knew that the two were having a quarrel.
Ultimately, the one who couldn't let go was Kangxi. But if His Majesty couldn't let go, why was he so stubborn?
In this situation now, he is the one who suffers.
Kangxi looked at Yinzhen's female relatives with heavy eyes. Only Rouze was there all alone. He was very upset and drank a little more.
Rouze just sat there in silence on this occasion. Most of the other ladies were only there for the sake of face, and she couldn't get along with any of them.
A palace banquet is only lively on the surface. Kangxi looked at these noisy people and felt that this year's New Year's Eve banquet was much colder than last year.
He drank glass after glass of wine, and the imperial concubine had to persuade him: "Your Majesty, drinking too much wine is harmful to your health. Even if you are happy today, you can't drink so much."
Kangxi shook his head slightly, "No problem, I'll go out for a walk."
He turned and left the table, and Wei Zhu hurriedly followed him out with his cloak. Only after they left did the table become really lively.
Kangxi stood in the corner where Yixiu had pulled him last year, standing there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
But the aura on his body was extremely heavy, and anyone who saw him would feel sad for him.
He stroked the gift prepared for Yixiu over and over again in his hand. Since the person who was supposed to come didn't come, the gift couldn't be given away.
"Wei Zhu, was I wrong?" Kangxi asked.
"Your Majesty." Wei Zhu had seen it all these days. It was obvious that His Majesty wanted Lady Fu to bow her head first, but after such a long time, Lady Fu had never come to see His Majesty once.
There is no winning or losing in love. If we judge love by winning or losing, then the love will become distorted.
But just when it seemed that His Majesty was about to surrender, Concubine Yi hadn't arrived yet!
Ugh!
"Your Majesty, if you want, you can see Lady Yi right away. If you don't want, I'm afraid you will never see her in this lifetime."
After all, Wei Zhu still wanted this storm to pass quickly. As servants, they should only serve when their master is happy. If they continue like this, they might lose their heads one day and not know what they have done wrong.
Wei Zhu continued, "After all, Concubine Yi is the concubine of Prince Yong. She must be very nervous to take this step. I have seen it all over the past two years. Although Concubine Yi doesn't say it, she still cares about His Majesty in her heart."
Kangxi snorted coldly, "Where did she not say that? Didn't she say that she never liked me?"
Wei Zhu finally understood why His Majesty was so angry. It must be because of the drunken Lady Yi who said such a thing. But how could a drunk person take it seriously?
Besides, a person like Yi Fujin must be extremely proud. This kind of emotion is really against ethics and morality. I'm afraid Yi Fujin herself is also distressed.
"I have to say something unpleasant. After all, it was you, Your Majesty, who started the relationship between you and Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi was reluctant at first, but later on she came to the palace from time to time, didn't she? The purses and sachets she made for you are all in your bedroom. Besides, the screen was embroidered by Concubine Yi herself, stitch by stitch."
"If Concubine Yi really didn't like His Majesty, why would she work so hard?"
Wei Zhu was so thirsty that her mouth was dry. Your Majesty, my servant! Just open your eyes and have a good talk with Lady Yi. It would be better if you could talk things out!
Kangxi listened to it unconsciously. What Wei Zhu said made sense. He and Yixiu seemed to be in love with each other before, and she was not really resisting his approach.
He knew what it was like for a person to resist, and he also knew that when he was with Yixiu, Yixiu was clearly extremely relaxed.
It was his inner uneasiness that made him deliberately test Yixiu when she was drunk that night. But after getting the answer, what happened? He really felt disappointed.
Even though they have been together for such a long time, Yixiu still has no feelings for him.
But after hearing what Wei Zhu said today, Kangxi thought of Yixiu again.
She seemed gentle and indifferent, but in fact she had her own pride. Yinzhen almost hurt her child for the sake of his wife, and Yixiu never wanted to give him a good face again, even though Yinzhen kept asking for peace.
Kangxi's eyelids jumped when he thought of this. She hadn't come to see him for so long. Could it be that she thought he was a heartless person? So she cut off all ties with him and never had any contact with him again?!
Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He screamed in shock for a long while, "Wei Zhu! Prepare a car for me!"
