Ling Ruo took it in his hand and thought about it for a moment before he made a calculation. He took the flute under his lips and the song "Autumn Moon over the Flat Lake" came out.
"Autumn Moon over Flat Lake" is also known as "Drunk Peace". The tune is fresh and lively, melodious and gorgeous. The music creates scenery and depicts the quiet and charming West Lake in Hangzhou under the bright moonlight.
The rain was still falling, thin and continuous, but what appeared in front of Kangxi's eyes was the bright moon in the sky, the blue waves thousands of miles away, everything was so peaceful and quiet; his heart, which had been constantly troubled by state affairs and family affairs, gradually calmed down at this moment, quite
There is an ethereal feeling.
There are many people who can play the flute, but those who can be as immersed in the flute as Ling Ruo are extremely rare. This is why Kangxi likes to listen to her music.
By the time the song ended, Li Dequan was already mesmerized by the music, and after a while he said: "I don't know why, although I don't understand the meaning of the flute, I feel relaxed and energetic when listening to the lady playing the flute."
Ling Ruo returned the flute with both hands and said sheepishly: "My father-in-law, I have given you too much praise."
"The slave said nothing, and the lady plays better than the palace musicians." Li Dequan smiled, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper, like an old chrysanthemum with a thousand petals. He stayed with Kangxi for decades, and finally,
I am also old. When I stuffed the purple bamboo flute back into the velvet cover, it slipped out several times.
Kangxi, who had already turned around, saw this scene in his eyes, coughed a few times and said: "There are a few pairs of Western tribute crystal pieces in the inner treasury. Tomorrow you can go get one and polish it into reading glasses, so you don't have to look at it."
The food is so difficult.”
Li Dequan quickly knelt down to thank Longen. Kangxi nodded and picked up the tea put aside to moisten his dry and itchy throat.
I originally thought that I would stop after a few sips of tea, but this time I felt so uncomfortable that the tea that had flowed into my throat spurted out before I could swallow it. I kept coughing, my face was red, and I couldn't even speak.
Li Dequan and Ling Ruo were so frightened that they hurriedly stroked their backs and patted their chests to help him calm down.
"Cough! Cough!" After coughing for a while, Kangxi finally regained his breath. He leaned on the back of the chair while stroking his sore chest. Occasionally, he would still cough a few times. Ling Ruo was left to continue.
He stroked his back while Li Dequan went to pour a new cup of tea. After testing the temperature of the tea, he carefully handed it to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea and slow down."
Kangxi looked exhausted and took a few sips from his hand. He took a long breath. After resting for a while, his pale face showed some blood. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "I'm really old and useless. I used to fight in person."
When the Galdan rebellion was put down, I took a lot of arrows in my body and even took the head of the enemy's general in the midst of thousands of troops. Now it's just a small cough, but it makes me so embarrassed, alas!"
In fact, what really made him sad was not his body, but his children. He had more than twenty sons, all brothers and sisters, but they were fighting for the position of the prince. The brothers were fighting against each other, and they completely ignored their brotherhood. How could he, as his mother, be like this?
Don't be sad or sad.
Seeing that he spoke sadly, Li Dequan also shed tears. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he just carefully wiped the water stains from Kangxi's mouth with a handkerchief. People, what you fear most when you get older is to watch yourself grow old.
The Emperor is no exception.
Ling Ruo's eyes turned red, but he said: "I heard that the emperor shot a tiger with his own hands when we were hunting cats in Mulan paddock last year. How old is that? As for cough, who doesn't suffer from three diseases and six diseases?
emperor
It’s only a cough now. I don’t know what other people think of me, but I am already very envious of you. In the future, if I can be safe and healthy when I reach the age of the emperor, I will be satisfied.”
Kangxi looked at her deeply and said silently: "I believe you are a blessed person."
Ling Ruo lowered his head and smiled, but did not delve into Kangxi's words. He just said, "I know a very effective folk remedy for coughs. Would you like to try it, Your Majesty?"
"That's good." After resting for so long, his energy was almost restored. Kangxi sat up straight. Although he couldn't get rid of the old diseases, he was always bothered by them. Especially when the seasons changed, he was prone to coughing, and sometimes he would still cough at night.
Will be woken up by coughing.
"Then my body will be fried tomorrow and delivered to the emperor." As soon as she said the words, she felt something was wrong. She was able to enter Changchun Garden tonight because Kangxi summoned her. How could she still enter the garden every day? She really thought this was her own home. Now she was so humble
He lowered his head and said sheepishly: "I will write the recipe to Eunuch Li later."
"It doesn't matter." Kangxi gave her a gentle look and said to Li Dequan: "It is my will to allow the Hulu family to leave Changchun Garden, and no one can stop it!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Li Dequan was horrified when he heard this. He was an old man who often accompanied the emperor, but it was the first time in decades that he saw Kangxi treat a woman to such an extent. He couldn't help but think about what Niu Hulu would have done at that time.
The surname was not given to the fourth elder brother by Concubine Rong.
For the sake of princess, she entered the harem instead. I am afraid that the harem is now dominated by the Niu Hulu family. When the beautiful women of the same generation are still struggling for a noble position, the concubines are already within reach for her.
Even concubines, noble concubines, and imperial concubines are not impossible.
When Ling Ruo came out of Chunhui Hall, he found Yinzhen standing under the eaves with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rainy scene in the night. His expression was rare and calm in the past. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned around and smiled slightly,
He stretched out his hand towards Lingruo, his handsome face exuding warmth and detachment under the night lights. At this moment, he seemed not to be the cold-faced Wang Yinzhen, but the gentle and jade-like boy from Kunning Palace many years ago.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she reached out to hold hands with him in a deepening smile, just like a few years ago...
Tranquility and indifference - it's always just an appearance. If she can't go back to the past, what she will embark on, and what Yinzhen will embark on, will be a road of no return...
"I heard the sound of your flute, Pinghu Qiuyue, I almost thought I was in the West Lake of Hangzhou." Yinzhen was not stingy with his praise.
Ling Ruo tilted her head and said with a hint of fascination, "I have seen the West Lake in a book. I heard it is very beautiful, right?"
Yinzhen shook her delicate and silky little hand and said: "I only visited it a few times when I accompanied Emperor Ama on his southern tour. It's really good. Some of the scenes in the Old Summer Palace and Changchun Garden were built based on it."
Is there such beauty in the world? But after all, it was beyond her reach...
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Yinzhen say: "If there is a chance in the future, I will take you with me."
These words blurted out without thinking or even thinking about them in his mind, which made Yinzhen a little surprised. When did he have such a leisurely mood again?
On the other side, Ling Ruo's expression was already full of emotion. There was a glimmer of water in his eyes. He smiled suddenly, his red lips curved into a very beautiful arc. He stretched out his little finger with his other hand and jokingly said: "Fourth Master, you are busy with things."
, I’m afraid we will forget this casual remark. How about we imitate the child’s hook, so that no matter how long it takes, we will never forget it.”
This was the first time that Yinzhen saw Ling Ruo act so childishly, and actually asked him, a dignified prince, to flirt with her like a child with a yellow mouth. It really made people laugh and cry.
