At the end of the year, Suzhou Weaving presented another batch of gold-woven satin as tribute. The so-called gold-woven satin was embroidered with gold threads. It sparkled golden in the sun and was extremely luxurious. Except for Kangxi himself who kept and donated it to the Queen Mother, he gave it to
Cheng Qian Palace rewarded ten pieces. The gold-woven satin is priceless, and one piece of silk is worth thousands of gold. It is very rare. It is usually used to make concubines' auspicious clothes and court clothes. It is rarely used in daily attire, and it is not gentle.
I liked these too luxurious materials, and I always felt like a nouveau riche when I wore them. So I told Zhu'er to register them and put them in the warehouse.
Zhu'er responded, but smiled and said: "Master, why don't you ask the needlework bureau to make clothes? You can't live up to such a good gold-woven satin!"
"The gold-woven satin is rare. This year's gold-woven satin from the palace was delivered early in the spring. In previous years, the emperor only rewarded three or four extra pieces, which was not much more than others. Now it is already
Several times that of the concubines." Wen Xi sighed slightly. Wen Xi still remembered the Queen Mother's words. Although Kangxi recovered from his illness, sexual intercourse was not so frequent, and Wen Xi no longer set foot in the Yangxin Palace. This was also because
Ever since the golden elixir was formed, the Emperor's Dragon Qi seemed to be of little use.
Kangxi rarely came in to look at the cards, and he only visited the fifth concubine occasionally and never asked for luck. The same was true for several concubines. In addition to the close concubines once or twice a month, they were just a few relatively young nobles.
Chang Zai, agreed, but Zhao was not lucky enough. It’s just that if everyone is less, even if they don’t stay overnight in Chengqian Palace often, they will come almost every other day. The Queen Mother is right, she is so pampered and easy to treat.
How jealous. Although no one dares to give Wen Xi any trouble now, it would be a headache if they all joined forces to deal with her.
"The master is an imperial concubine, so it's appropriate to have more concubines than other concubines," Zhu'er thought for a while, "I heard that the Queen Mother got twelve horses from somewhere, so I rewarded Concubine Xuan with two horses. This shows that the Queen Mother cherishes Concubine Xuan.
Love."
It's just these gold-woven satin, Wen Xi doesn't feel bad even if they are all given away, but what the concubine cares about is not just a bit of silk and satin. Wen Xi lowered her eyes and said: "The weather is getting colder. I will ask the Queen Mother for another day.
Go to the Changping Palace and spend a few months with me." Wen Xi really couldn't persuade Kangxi to favor other women, so she had to retreat and treat it as a holiday for herself, or give them a big cake.
Go fight for it!
Although Kangxi had promised Wen Xi that he could often go to Xiaotangshan Palace when he returned to the palace, he could only go there for three to five days each time and could not stay there permanently. This was also because Kangxi also accompanied him, so the government affairs could not be left aside for too long. Kangxi was diligent in government affairs.
, naturally unwilling to delay too much. If Wen Xi went by herself, there wouldn't be so many restrictions, but... Kangxi would definitely not agree. After thinking about it, Wen Xi had no choice but to ask the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother was allowed, Kangxi would
There is nothing I can do about it.
Thinking of this, he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, put on a silver-red red luan's wind-haired cloak, and went to Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
It's a cold winter day, and when you enter Cining Palace, you will feel warm. There is probably the smell of sandalwood, and the Buddha nature is astounding. The warmth comes by chance. Concubine Xuan and the Thirteenth Brother happened to be chatting with the Queen Mother, and they seemed to be very happy.
It looked like the thirteenth brother was blushing and very embarrassed.
Wen Xi saluted the Queen Mother, and then asked with a smile: "What kind of joke is Sister Xuan telling the Queen Mother? Do you want me to listen to it?" Wen Xi called Sister Xuan Concubine, which was regarded as extremely respectful, and she did not address her personally.
Gong, spoke in a calm tone. Although Concubine Xuan had some friendship with Wen Xi, she was slightly surprised.
However, Concubine Xuan remained calm and called a pretty girl over. She smiled sweetly and said, "This is Sule, the girl trained by the Queen Mother herself. She is going to be the maid in Brother Thirteen's room."
"Oh?" No wonder the Thirteenth Brother is so popular. This guy named Su Le is not particularly beautiful, but he is very good-looking, gentle and quiet. He looks two years older than the Thirteenth Brother and is very respectful.
Politely, he came up and kowtowed to Wen Xi respectfully, "I would like to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine! Long blessing to the Imperial Concubine!"
Wen Xi nodded, smiled and said to Concubine Xuan: "It seems that she knows the rules very well. She is indeed a person trained by the Queen Mother herself." She was slightly suspicious and asked softly: "Suler? Is he a Manchu?" Listen.
It's a Manchu name.
Concubine Xuan answered for the girl, with a smile: "She is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her surname is Wusuli."
Wen Xi looked at Yin Xiang, who had a pig-liver-colored face, and then said with a playful smile: "Do you still like me, Brother Thirteen?"
"My son..." The thirteenth elder brother suddenly blushed even more intensely. He buried his head, but inadvertently glanced at Su Le, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "She is very good."
Wen Xi smiled. After all, she was still young and ignorant of people, so she was extraordinarily naive, so she stopped teasing her. Since both the Queen Mother and Concubine Xuan were optimistic about it, she must have come according to his preferences. It couldn't be any worse, no better.
The Queen Mother casually rewarded the seventh elder brother with the Jin clan, which was a good idea.
The Queen Mother gave her a warm embroidered pier, and her voice was as kind as before, and she asked: "Didn't you say hello to me earlier this morning? Why are you back again?"
Wen Xi did not hide anything and said truthfully: "I heard that the emperor left the palace to visit Prince Yu, so I came to ask for help from the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was a little confused, slowly twisting a string of Eighteen Arhat bracelets made of agarwood in her hand, but she was not in a hurry to ask. Wen Xi continued: "I see that the weather is getting colder, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother to show mercy and allow me to go to Changping."
Stay in the palace for a while."
The Queen Mother was slightly surprised and said, "Didn't you always tell the Emperor about this?"
Wen Xi smiled lightly and said in a calm tone: "This time, I want to go alone and plan to stay longer."
The Queen Mother immediately understood Wen Xi's intention, looked at Concubine Xuan, nodded and said: "You are so clever! You came to the Ai family while the emperor was away! If the Ai family agrees, the emperor will definitely ask for it when he comes back.
You are angry with the Aijia!" Although his tone was reproachful, it also contained a hint of approval.
Wen Xi smiled slightly, "I have kept the Queen Mother's previous teachings in mind...but -" There was a slight sadness in her eyes, "I am not a virtuous woman, and I cannot persuade the emperor to favor others, so I thought
Go and take some time off."
The Queen Mother also sighed, and the wrinkles on her forehead seemed to relax a bit, "You are willing to do this. It is already very rare! The emperor likes you alone, which shows that it is not unreasonable. Just go, where is the emperor?
Aijia will tell the emperor about your difficulties for you."
I thanked the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother's special decree, took only Yulu Dai, hung peace charms and detoxification charms on the little pomegranate and little peach, called Lutong Lvtan Haosheng for protection, and left the palace.
As for how Kangxi would be angry, it was not within the scope of Wen Xi's consideration. The palace was naturally much better than the palace, not to mention the beautiful scenery, and more importantly, there were not so many women dazzling in front of her eyes, and there was no need to talk to others.
The younger sister is hypocritical and wears a mask every day. She can hardly take it off herself.
Wen Xi was only worried about her two sons. As soon as she arrived at the palace, she wrote a letter to Kangxi, explained it to him, and asked him to protect her children before going to the hot spring.
Kangxi surprisingly didn't get angry, he just asked someone to deliver the letter. He asked Wen Xi to write to him every day, which was considered an agreement.
"It would be great if I brought Sister Qibuchen with me!" Yu Ludai looked at the scenery in the palace and the piles of pomegranates by the lake, and couldn't help but licked his lips.
How could Qi Buchen come, and how could her biological mother be willing to part with her?
"You! You should also learn from Qi Buchen. The fourth princess is getting married, and it will be your turn next!" Wen Xi poked her daughter's eyebrows and said, Yu Ludai is getting older, but his temper is still so informal.
Fortunately, she is a princess. Even if she gets married, as long as she has the favor of the emperor, the prince-in-law will not dare to make her sad. Wenxi thought, at best, he will only love her for the rest of his life. The more he looked at Yu Ludai, the more he felt young.
when.
Yu Ludai has the most beautiful eyes, as clear as lake water, revealing a bit of naughtiness and cunning. She is tugging on her warm sleeves and saying coquettishly: "Mother, Bi'er wants to go to Miaoyin Temple!"
Wen Xi couldn't help but frowned. Miaoyin Chanyuan was the place where Princess Shu Lu and Ru Yan practiced vegetarianism and prayed. It was in Changping, and it was said to be very close to the palace! She turned cold and said, "Don't go!"
"Eniang!" Yu Ludai said coquettishly, "My daughter just wants to teach Shu Lu a lesson. This is too easy for her!" Before leaving, his sister had guaranteed that she would vent her anger on her brother, but if she didn't
Go, how to teach her a lesson?!
"If you want to teach her a lesson, why bother to go there yourself?!" Wen Xi thought of her son's damaged hand, and she showed a bit of ruthlessness. She really didn't mind letting Shu Lu suffer a little first as interest!
Yu Ludai frowned and thought deeply, then smiled slyly: "My daughter wants to ask grandma to send some daily necessities to her sister whom she has not seen for a long time!"
"Okay." The corners of Wen Xi's mouth curled up. It is naturally good for sisters to connect with each other.
Miaoyin Zen Temple was built with money from Prince Yu Fujin. The Siruke family of Fujin believed in Buddhism but did not like temples, so they built this Zen Temple. Every year, Prince Yu came to live in Zhuangzi in Changping for some time and come to the Zen Temple to worship Buddha. Today,
There is one more task, which is to take care of the eighth princess's daily life. According to the emperor's decree, she must be a vegetarian and fast. Siruk has a bodhisattva heart, and feels pity for the eighth princess. She has a noble body and has to suffer this.
So he tried his best to take care of her. Although the emperor's will could not be violated, Fujin ordered people to send bird's nests to the eighth princess for nourishment.
At first, the eighth princess was very noisy, clamoring to go back to the palace, often breaking things, and refusing to eat. Later, in Sibeile Mansion, when Yinzhen was not yet Baylor, he called a man named Niu Hulu who was sent to accompany the eighth princess.
After the arrival of the concubine, everything changed. The eighth princess gradually settled down, and Prince Yu Fujin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old slave, please give my regards to Fujin!" The people from the palace came. Fujin's Siruke happened to come to the monastery to offer incense, so he personally received him. Prince Yu was not lewd and had a crush on his legitimate wife, so there was nothing troublesome in the backyard. Fujin
He is also tolerant and gentle in temperament.
Fujin Zhi looked at the kind-hearted nanny of the Sixth Princess, and became a little gentler, "Although the Sixth Princess is a bit naughty, she is still very kind-hearted."
The nanny Ye's surname is Cheyele. She is a royal servant in Zhenghuang Banner. She was given the title of nanny to the Sixth Princess in her early years. She was called here because of her prudent behavior and gentleness.
Grandma Ye was very polite and replied: "This is the wish of the sixth princess and the imperial concubine. I was worried that the eighth princess would miss life in the palace, so she asked the servant to bring some things, which are not against the rules of Buddhism.
I have specifically asked this servant to pay his respects to the Eighth Princess in person, so that the Imperial Concubine and the Sixth Princess can rest assured." (To be continued.
