Chapter 800: Startling Heart Mingyu 12

Concubine De carefully prepared the lotus cake that the emperor loved to eat, Concubine Yi rehearsed a lively Kunqu opera, and Concubine Liang prayed in the Buddhist temple every day, looking forward to meeting the emperor again.

Even Rong Fei, who had not served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber for many years, began to rummage through the emperor's boxes and cabinets to find the gorgeous clothes and jewelry that the emperor had rewarded her with in the past, trying to regain her former glory.

However, their expectations were doomed to fail. Kangxi's heart was now occupied by Mingyu, and there was no room for other women. After reviewing the memorials every day, he would accompany Mingyu to appreciate the flowers in the Imperial Garden, or play chess and drink tea in the Qianqing Palace, enjoying the rare tranquility and sweetness.

There was singing and dancing, laughter and joy in the Qianqing Palace every day, which formed a sharp contrast with the deserted harem.

The palace maids and eunuchs watched the emperor's favor towards Concubine Zhao and talked about it in private. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some secretly wondered what charm Concubine Zhao had that could make the emperor so infatuated with her.

Some young concubines could not hold back any longer. They were young and full of energy, so how could they stand such neglect?

In the past, although the emperor had a large harem, he treated them equally and it was always their turn.

But now, as soon as Concubine Zhao entered the palace, she monopolized the emperor's favor. How could they be willing to accept this?

First, Concubine Jing, relying on her father being an important official in the court, "ran into" Kangxi in the imperial garden. She dressed up carefully, wearing a goose yellow Manchu dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow, and her delicate figure was even more pitiful. She walked up to Kangxi and bowed tenderly: "Good luck to the emperor."

Kangxi glanced at her calmly, his tone as calm as water: "Get up."

He wanted to go around her and leave.

Jingpin was not willing to miss this opportunity. Her eyes turned red and tears rolled down: "Your Majesty, I haven't served you for a long time..."

Kangxi stopped and frowned slightly, a little impatient: "I am busy with government affairs."

"I dare not disturb the emperor."

Jingpin choked up and said, "It's just...it's just that I miss the emperor, thinking about him day and night, and I can't sleep or eat well..."

Kangxi was about to speak when he heard Mingyu's clear laughter not far away.

His expression relaxed and he looked up, only to see Mingyu playing pitch-pot with the palace maids. The sunlight shining on her body made her look bright and beautiful as if she was coated with a layer of golden light.

Kangxi's heart was instantly attracted to Mingyu, so how could he care about Jingpin? He said calmly, "I have something else to do."

Then he strode towards Mingyu.

Jingpin stood there, watching Kangxi's receding back, tears streaming down her face. She bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with resentment.

Why? Why did that little girl take away the emperor's favor as soon as she came? She was unwilling to accept it!

Concubine Jing followed Kangxi all the way, and when she saw him walking towards Mingyu, she was burning with jealousy.

She stepped forward quickly, and before Kangxi could speak, she called out tenderly, "Your Majesty."

When Kangxi heard the voice, he stopped in his tracks. When he saw that it was Concubine Jing, he frowned slightly and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.

"What's the matter?" His tone was cold, completely different from the gentleness he showed when facing Mingyu.

Concubine Jing's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them, making her look very pitiful.

"Your Majesty, I feel unwell. Could you please come to my palace and check my pulse?"

Kangxi was a little impatient. He was only thinking about Mingyu and had no time to care about Jingpin's "minor illnesses and disasters".

"I am not an imperial physician. If you really feel unwell, please call an imperial physician."

Having said that, he continued to move forward.

Seeing Kangxi being so ruthless, Concubine Jing was furious and decided to throw herself at him. She grabbed Kangxi's sleeve and cried, "Your Majesty, I...I haven't served you for a long time. Could it be that Your Majesty...Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten me?"

Her action attracted the attention of the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, who began to whisper to each other. Mingyu also noticed the movement here, stopped playing the pot-throwing game, and looked over curiously.

Kangxi's face darkened completely. He shook off Jingpin's hand with all his strength, and said in a bone-chillingly cold tone: "Jingpin, watch your words and actions! I will not pursue the matter because this is your first offense. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily!"

Concubine Jing was frightened by Kangxi's anger and was trembling with fear. She had never seen Kangxi so stern before. She stood there in a daze for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.

Mingyu's eyebrows were raised, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her almond eyes. She was straightforward by nature and could not hide anything. Moreover, Kangxi's favor for her was obvious to all. This Jingpin was so bold, it was simply plucking hair from a tiger's head!

Mingyu's "Who are you?" was crisp and loud, with a hint of girlish coquettishness, instantly breaking the stagnant atmosphere.

The palace maids and eunuchs around held their breath, and Concubine Jing's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

Kangxi stared at Mingyu, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. The little girl's eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were raised, and she looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end, very cute.

He was secretly happy in his heart, he liked this kind of jealousy!

He coughed lightly and said to Jingpin in a serious tone, "Jingpin, you are overstepping your authority."

Although the tone was cold, it lacked the sharpness from before. After all, it was a pleasing thing to see beautiful women fighting for love.

Hearing this, Concubine Jing trembled and her face turned even paler. She knew that she had hit a wall today, but she was unwilling to give up.

Jingpin's eyes rolled, tears slid down her cheeks, and she cried like a pear blossom in the rain: "Your Majesty, I did not mean to offend the Imperial Concubine, but...it's just that I'm really not feeling well, so..."

As she spoke, her body went limp and she pretended to faint.

Mingyu couldn't stand this kind of pretentious attitude. She quickly stepped forward and supported Jingpin, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Hey, Jingpin, what's wrong? The autumn is almost over, how come it's like 'the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves'? I see that you look very strong, are you pretending?"

Concubine Jing was caught off guard by Mingyu's sudden action. She leaned stiffly against Mingyu, her face turning pale and blue.

She originally wanted to win Kangxi's sympathy by fainting, but she didn't expect to be seen through by Mingyu. This time she really lost more than she gained.

Kangxi looked at the scene in front of him with a hint of smile in his eyes. He didn't expect that Mingyu, who looked cute and lovely, actually had such a smart side.

He stood with his arms folded, watching the situation with interest.

Mingyu curled her lips into a scornful smile, her tone full of sarcasm: "Jingpin, your acting is too clumsy. In my opinion, instead of pretending to faint here to win the emperor's sympathy, you should go back and practice your acting skills to avoid embarrassing yourself next time."

Concubine Jing was so humiliated by Mingyu's merciless words that her face turned red. She bit her lips, her eyes full of resentment, but she did not dare to get angry.
