As soon as Wen Xi returned to the palace, she looked through the history of Tong's concubine's bed. Sure enough, Concubine De's answer to the fire in Baohua Palace was inappropriate and Kangxi was suspicious of her. Therefore, during Wen Xi's absence, there was not a single blessing. Xin Feng
There were only two or three Borjijit Tumen Baoyin who were blessed concubines. Among the high-ranking concubines, only Concubine Yi was somewhat favored. Among the low-level concubines, there were Song Guiren, Yi Guiren, Yuan Guiren and several others.
Everyone always agrees.
While he was flipping through the pages, the book was suddenly taken away. Kangxi seemed to have just arrived after his morning court. He was wearing a bright yellow court robe, embroidered with nine dragons, and twelve chapters, with five-color clouds in between, which were gorgeous and dazzling. The hem of the robe,
There are many curved lines arranged diagonally, which are called water feet. Above the water feet, there are many tumbling water waves. Above the water waves, there are also mountain and stone treasures. It is commonly known as "Seawater Jiangya". In addition to expressing the stretching
In addition to the constant auspicious connotations, there are also the meanings of "unification of mountains and rivers" and "peace for all ages". Wearing navy blue soap boots embroidered with pairs of dragons, he sat on the couch and picked up the newly served hot tea.
"You don't have to read it, I promise, you will always be the best in the future!"
Embarrassing! Wen Xi read Tong Shi just to determine the form of the harem by reading the records of old Kang's prostitutes! But Kangxi didn't care about that and threw Tong Shi to the ground and came up to twist Wen Xi's
Nose, said: "Don't you like to watch Hu Xuan Wu? We will also arrange it at the Hegong Night Banquet on New Year's Eve this year!"
Jing Fulu was indeed Kangxi’s spy????
When it came to Hu Xuanwu, Wen Xi almost forgot to agree to the dancers. She took off the three-color flower and fruit pattern handkerchief from the left side of her chest and said, "I'm afraid she won't dance as well as those in the palace."
.”
Kangxi said casually: "Then let them dance."
"It's a pity -" A look of disappointment appeared on the gentle face. "After the new year, the emperor will reward them to Prince Chun."
"Huh?" Kangxi wondered, "Is this the case?" As he said that, he glanced at Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to him and was wearing a fourth-grade internal prison python suit.
Liang Jiugong bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten what happened before the Northern Patrol. Prince Chun came to complain that there were not many decent dancers in the palace, so the Emperor said he would reward her with a few and left it to the servants.
Yes. The Huxuan Dancer at Tangquan Palace is top-notch!"
Kangxi suddenly understood and exclaimed. He scraped the lid of the tea cup to remove the foam and said, "Then just choose a few more! It's not a big deal."
"嗻!"
On the New Year's Eve banquet of the 23rd year of Kangxi's reign, the concubines of the inner palace and the outer dynasty's clan were seated separately for men and women. However, Kangxi could be seen from a distance at the concubines' table. The singing and dancing at the banquet were rare entertainment in the Forbidden City during the year.
First, not to mention that Kangxi specially invited singing girls and dancers from Changping Palace and Chengde Palace respectively, which made it very lively.
On the left and right sides of Kangxi, three brothers, Prince Yu Fuquan, Prince Gong Changning and Prince Chun Longxi, were sitting. The emperor's brothers naturally sat in a very prominent position. Longxi looked at the dancers dancing in the palace.
. Unable to help but sway slightly to the beat, he became more and more fascinated by what he saw: Not only did he dance well, but he was also extremely beautiful! Long Xi drank a few more glasses of wine today, and the words he spoke were less measured.
: "Brother Emperor, these Huxuan dancers are the ones you promised to give to your brother, right?"
Kangxi was also accustomed to Longxi's informality, and he didn't want to worry about anything on the big day. He lowered his head and drank a glass of wine and said: "It's not these, I have prepared it for you. I will send it to your palace tomorrow morning."
Longxi listened, but was a little reluctant. He was the youngest brother of Kangxi. He was young and had been spoiled for many years. Naturally, he was full of joy and anger, and he didn't care about what he said: "These few are already extremely rare.
!The emperor’s elder brother will reward his younger brother!”
Kangxi put down his wine glass with a clink, and with a smile on his face, he said: "The imperial concubine likes Hu Xuan Wu, I have some use for keeping them."
"Brother Emperor, you must not coddle this woman, otherwise you will get slapped on the nose!" When Long Xi heard that he actually rejected his request because of a woman, he naturally looked unwilling and his tone was a bit harsh.
Already.
Kangxi immediately turned cold. Prince Yu Fuquan hurriedly kicked Longxi, "Shut up! This is what you should say!"
"Second brother!" Long Xi hurriedly rubbed his aching leg, feeling really aggrieved.
Kangxi just snorted coldly. Since Fu Quan had taught Long Xi a lesson for him, Kangxi was not willing to cause any bad things in front of the clan.
Longxi drank a few glasses of wine, then stood up to avoid the discomfort and left the banquet. Kangxi was now wishing that he would leave early. Anyway, the Hu Xuan dance was the finale, and the banquet was about to end.
As for the concubines, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager Xiaohui were in charge, and Wen Xi was by Xiaozhuang's side. Wen Xi didn't know whether Kangxi did it on purpose. Since she returned to the palace, Fu Concubine Tumen Baoyin is now
Second only to her favored concubine, Xiaozhuang naturally thought that it was the result of Concubine Wen Xi's recommendation, so he was very kind to Wen Xi. Tumen Baoyin's mouth became even sweeter, and he paid tribute to Wen Xi one after another.
After several cups of rose wine, I was so warm that I felt dizzy, so I had no choice but to plead guilty and run away.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, under the bright red lanterns, even the winter snow was dyed red. Wen Xi breathed in the fresh air, drank a little too much, and now she felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
"Hey? Isn't this Concubine Wen Xi!" Long Xi, who was wearing a prince's python suit and a bright "yellow belt" tied around his waist, leaning against the big red pillar outside the palace, said in a somewhat unkind tone, "Long Xi greets the concubine.
"I said hello, but I just said it with my mouth, without even bothering to nod my head. In terms of rank, the prince is superior, and the concubine is the second grade, so naturally she is the prince. However, the concubine is the emperor's woman, and the emperor belongs to the world.
A master, even if he is a prince, is still a servant of the emperor. In this way, Wenxi can be regarded as half a master. Longxi's etiquette is indeed disrespectful.
Wen Xi was wondering why she had provoked this guy, so she straightened her body and said: "Prince Chun is well."
At this moment, a young eunuch ran out of the side hall, bowed his head and called Qian'er to greet Longxi: "Your Majesty, the emperor invites you to go to Qianqing Palace. I have something to tell you after the banquet is over."
When Longxi heard this, he thought for a moment and suddenly smiled and said: "The emperor's brother really values his brothers the most. How could he ignore his brothers for the sake of women?"
The words were meaningless, and Wen Xi was confused after hearing it. However, Wen Xi glanced sideways at the little eunuch and said, "You are in charge of the emperor, why do I seem to have never seen you before?"
The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed to Wen Xi respectfully and said, "This slave is new here. Please give my regards to your master!"
New here? Since you are new here, how can you tell at a glance that Wen Xi is the only imperial concubine in this palace? And Wen Xi did not wear imperial concubine auspicious clothes or formal court clothes today, only ordinary casual clothes. Sprinkle gold. The flag dress, which is embroidered with folded branches, auspicious fruit patterns and peonies, is even plainer than ordinary concubines.
Long Xi yawned and said: "There are so many young eunuchs in front of the emperor. Can the imperial concubine still recognize them all? Go back to the emperor. I will go to Qianqing Palace to wait here."
"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please go slowly!" The little eunuch bowed very humbly.
Wen Xi was a little surprised. Even though Long Xi was a prince, people in front of the royal family didn't need to be so respectful, right?
The young eunuch greeted Wen Xi again and said, "I have resigned."
Wen Xi hummed, her head felt a little swollen and hurt, so she turned around and walked away. Who cares, is there anyone who dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict?
Because she was a little drunk, she did not ride in the sedan chair and was driven by the cold wind all the way. She gradually sobered up more than half of the time. Wenru couldn't help but think back to the little eunuch, and she felt as if she had seen it somewhere! But she couldn't remember it. The young eunuch is in his twenties, has good facial features, but has no special features. He has a completely ordinary face. Maybe he has been confused with someone? Wen Xi thought to herself.
At this time, Qinglan suddenly said quietly: "Why do you think that little eunuch??? is so like a little follower beside Eunuch Chen in Yonghe Palace?"
Wen Xi was startled and suddenly stopped! De Fei's people? Why did he ask people to call Long Xi to Qianqing Palace?! Wen Xi couldn't help but breathe quickly, and immediately ordered: "Xiaoluzi, bring a few of them." You nimble little eunuch, go and watch secretly outside the Qianqing Palace! If someone discovers it, say that I sent you to invite the emperor to come to the Qian Palace!"
"嗻!"
She quickened her pace all the way. When Wen Xi returned to Chengqian Palace, she had already lost all her drunkenness. When she came back, Xiao Quanzi, who was in front of the queen, came to report: "Your Majesty, the Emperor will be here in a moment. There are also some things the Emperor has today. I'm drunk, your master had better prepare some hangover soup first."
Wen Xi rolled her eyes and asked, "Has the Emperor sent someone to invite Prince Chun to Qianqing Palace today?"
Xiao Quanzi thought for a while and then said: "I don't know about this. But I was sent out by Eunuch Liang to deliver snacks to Yongshou Palace, and I have not been serving the emperor all the time." That's right, the concubine is sick and weak, and even at the New Year's Eve banquet, None of them showed up, so Kangxi asked someone to send some snacks.
Wen Xi nodded and asked someone to reward Xiao Quanzi with a New Year's silver reward, which was specially given generously. Xiao Quanzi left with a smile and a lot of gratitude.
As announced earlier, Kangxi came over within three quarters of an hour, smelling of alcohol but still looking sober. Wen Xi stepped forward and personally helped Kangxi into the Nuan Pavilion to sit down, and wiped his face and hands with a wet towel. Then he said: "Song'er go to the small kitchen to remind you. The hangover soup will be delivered as soon as it's ready!"
Kangxi took a sip of tea and said: "I am not drunk, but Longxi is very drunk today! In front of so many people, he wants to beg me for those Hu Xuan dancers!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Kangxi's tone, Wen Xi knew that Kangxi had not agreed. In this way, Wen Xi had fulfilled her promise to them, and they no longer owed anything.
Kangxi said angrily: "I'm used to him! He's getting more and more unreasonable! I told you that you liked watching Hu Xuanwu, so I didn't give it to him. So he left the table early in anger."
Wen Xi said, "No wonder Long Xi spoke so rudely outside the Tai Chi Hall just now! It turned out to be jealousy! He completely regarded himself as Kang Xi's younger brother and forgot that he was still the emperor's servant.
Wen Xi suddenly asked: "I was just outside the palace and saw the young eunuch. He claimed to be from the imperial court and sent Prince Chun to Qianqing Palace."
"What?!" Kangxi suddenly became furious, "Who dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict! How many heads does he have?!"
Wen Xi hurriedly comforted Kangxi and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, it is unlucky to celebrate the New Year!" This was to remind Kangxi that it is not good to kill during the Chinese New Year, and he should be killed tomorrow.
At this time, Songer came in with brisk hands and feet, carrying the hangover soup. Wenxi hurriedly went to pick it up. Songer lowered her voice and said: "Master, the concubine of Yongshou Palace dressed up as a palace maid delivering ambergris and went to Qianqing Palace. .”
Wen Xi is silent, Wu Yashi has good tricks! Let Long Xi go to Cheng Qian Palace, and let Jia Concubine also go to Cheng Qian Palace. What will happen? However, I will definitely help you hold Kang Xi back and tell him not to leave tonight. Opening Chengqian Palace will never ruin your good deeds. (To be continued.
