Chapter 189: Startling Steps 8 Fu Jin 19
When Kangxi heard the imperial physician's words, his mind went blank. He was so surprised that he was agitated and flustered for a moment.
He calmed down and excitedly held Minghui's hand. Logically speaking, as he had many children, he should not be so happy and at a loss like a young boy, but it seemed different to him.
He was the one who snatched Minghui away from him. Minghui was pregnant with his child, and his vague and uneasiness finally dissipated.
He massaged Minghui's tired body, asked the imperial physician about some precautions, gave the physician a reward and sent the man away. Only then did he look at Minghui with joy.
Minghui was feeling a little uncomfortable due to fatigue, but when she saw Kangxi's joyful look, she was also infected and smiled.
Under the lamp, Minghui smiled sweetly and her eyes were charming. Kangxi personally let Minghui's hair down and removed all her hairpins and rings.
Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall and spread out, making her slender neck look even more delicate and white. It seemed to be emitting a faint glow under the candlelight, making her look truly charming and lovely.
Considering the child, Kangxi only gave her a light kiss, and rubbed and kneaded her with his hands, but stopped at that moment.
The news of Minghui's pregnancy also spread to the capital, after all, it was important to make Prince An happy.
Upon learning that Minghui was pregnant, Prince An ordered people to beat drums and gongs, distribute wedding money, and find someone to guide public opinion.
Humph, it’s time to wash away the stigma of our own Minghui.
"Since the Eighth Lady is not infertile, doesn't that mean that it is difficult for the Eighth Prince's palace to have children?"
"I heard that it was because the Eighth Prince was weak that he used the former Eighth Lady as a shield!"
"His wife took the blame for him, and he deserves the attention of others? How despicable!"
"Hush, you're going to die if you talk about me!"
……
Thanks to Prince An's trickery, the story that the Eighth Prince was infertile and asked his wife to take the blame spread like wildfire. Without the Eighth Prince knowing it, he had already become a celebrity on the gossip list in the capital.
On the grassland, Minmin expressed her love for the Thirteenth Prince to the Mongolian King, but the Mongolian King rejected her with an extremely tough attitude, "Minmin, you are the Gesang flower on the grassland, only on the grassland can you bloom freely."
Minmin was very depressed, but met Ruoxi at the corner.
Ruoxi told Minmin a lot of things about the Thirteenth Prince, and also said that the Thirteenth Prince was good at music. Minmin's face was full of longing, "It would be great if I could hear it," but then she lowered her head sadly, "His wife must be able to hear it often."
Ruoxi felt bad seeing Minmin becoming depressed, but she turned around and told Minmin a shocking theory.
What is love that is free? People who love each other deserve blessings. What is the person who is not loved that is the third party?
Minmin was stunned and her mind was shaken.
"Besides, although the Thirteenth Prince has chosen a wife, the two have never met."
Ruoxi's last words directly touched Minmin. Since he had no feelings for Fu Jin, she would definitely be able to impress Thirteenth Prince.
At this time, Ruoxi forgot Luwu's special dependence on the Thirteenth Prince, and also forgot that even if the Thirteenth Prince's wife had not yet entered the family, she was still a fiancée according to modern standards.
Who would teach someone to be a mistress and steal someone else's fiancé?
Seeing his daughter clinging to the Thirteenth Prince every day, the Mongolian prince directly told Minmin that he had already arranged a marriage for her, Zuo Ying, and he absolutely did not agree with Minmin's marriage to the capital.
What's more, the Thirteenth Prince already has a wife. How can his proud daughter tolerate being inferior to her?
The women in the Forbidden City were not happy, and he didn't want his daughter to become unhappy too.
Ruoxi should have been relieved after hearing everything. Minmin had already been engaged to someone from the grassland, so why would she seduce her Fourth Prince?
But at this time, some inappropriate modern ideas popped up in Ruoxi's mind.
She felt that farewell to love should be grand and dignified. Since it was destined to be fruitless, she must go all out to avoid regrets in the future. So she went to persuade Minmin to dance for the Thirteenth Prince.
A dance that would make the Thirteenth Prince remember her for the rest of his life, and remember that she once loved him.
Minghui just thought Ruoxi was looking for trouble, but she didn't think about the fact that Minmin was expressing her love and dancing for a prince in public. Wouldn't her future husband Zuo Ying mind?
Wouldn’t there be a crack in their marriage life from then on?
Everything was what Ruoxi thought and wanted. She treated it all as a game and ignored Minmin's future living situation.
If the Thirteenth Prince really succeeded in remembering Minmin, then it can also give us a glimpse into the life of the Thirteenth Prince's wife in the future, that the husband already has someone in his heart before he even gets married.
Of course, the Thirteenth Prince liked Luwu, but in the context of the time, the Thirteenth Prince would certainly not feel threatened by a prostitute, but Minmin was different.
It's okay for the Thirteenth Prince, after all, most men are romantic, but Ruoxi's action is a blow to Minmin and the Thirteenth Lady.
Ruoxi's mind always seems to be twisted and tangled, but in fact, it all comes down to what she thinks.
After the imperial physician discovered that Minghui was pregnant, Kangxi followed Minghui everywhere. If it weren't for state affairs, Kangxi would have wanted to stay with Minghui all day.
Kangxi looked back every few steps, and Minghui waved her hand in amusement, becoming even more clingy.
Minghui was accompanied by Lanyue and Cuizhi as she strolled on the grassland. The grassland was picturesque and vast, like a magnificent painting by nature.
Minghui strolled leisurely in this sea of green grass. She gently raised her hand and brushed the tips of the grass swaying in the wind beside her, as if she was having a silent conversation with nature.
As the breeze blew gently, the sea of grass began to ripple delicately, like a vast green ocean, which made Minghui feel suddenly open-minded and relaxed.
She stopped to gaze and took a deep breath of fresh air, as if she could smell the heartbeat of nature and feel its vigorous vitality. Every inch of land exuded an intoxicating charm, making her involuntarily indulge in this tranquility and magnificence.
In the distance, the Ninth Prince stopped and looked at Minghui. Seeing Minghui leisurely and contented, his heart also felt a sense of peace.
Minmin had just finished practicing dancing with Ruoxi. When she was returning to the tent, she saw Minghui. Minghui was so beautiful. She thought, if she had the Queen's face, the Thirteenth Prince would also be attracted to her, right?
When Minghui saw Minmin's appearance, she knew that Minmin had still followed Ruoxi's advice, and she sighed.
"Princess Minmin, how about taking a walk with me?"
Minmin was surprised, but still nodded.
"Princess Minmin, I heard that you plan to dance for the Thirteenth Prince to express your love at the banquet in a few days?" Minghui spoke calmly as they walked.
Minmin was surprised, not knowing how she knew that. "How did the Queen know that?"
"Princess Minmin, have you ever thought about the consequences if you really did that? No man would want to see his fiancée express her love to another man in public."
Minghui didn't wait for Minmin to respond and continued talking on her own.
"Think more about your future marriage. Besides, if the Thirteenth Prince is interested in you, he will remember you for the rest of his life. If he is not interested in you, no matter how amazing your dance is or how passionate your love is, he will forget about it in a flash."
The constraints on women in this era are already very great. Even if Minmin is on the grassland, she has trampled on her fiancé's face like this. She knows how her married life will be, and Minmin will not have an easy time.
Seeing Minmin seemed to be thinking about something, Minghui took Lanyue and Cuizhi and left first. The words had already been said, and it was her business how to do it.
Although she felt pity for Minmin, she was the one who made the final decision.
Minghui hurried back to her tent, but heard someone calling from behind, "Empress Mother."
