After sending the concubines away, Wen Xi looked a little tired. She was about to go back to the inner palace to lie down for a while, but she heard the news from outside that the Emperor Kangxi was coming this way. Wen Xi had to straighten her makeup and go out of the palace to greet her. Now it's already
It was March 9th, and even though it was almost noon, the wind blowing against her face was so cold and biting that Wen Xi couldn't help but shrink her neck. It was warm inside the palace, but she felt extra cold when she came out.
Kangxi seemed to be in a good mood. He came up to help Wen Xi, who was about to be polite. He held Wen Xi's slightly cold catkins in his warm hands, and carefully looked at Wen Xi's gorgeous clothes and makeup. He was quite happy.
With a beautiful look, he praised: "This dress is well-cut and looks good on you!"
Wen Xi smiled slightly and said casually: "I think that although the gold-woven satin is good, it is very heavy." The gold-woven satin is a bit heavier than ordinary satin because it is mixed with countless gold threads. And this body is silver-red.
The gold-woven satin was a gift from Kangxi. Kangxi must have been happy to see it.
On the warm sleeves, Qingluan is about to fly in pairs. Needless to say, the craftsmanship of the needlework bureau is especially embroidered on the material of woven gold satin. Under the sun, the golden light shines and is particularly dazzling. Kangxi pulled the warm sleeves
He entered the palace together with his hands, his tone was gentle, as if he was talking about ordinary things, "I just saw that the gold-woven satin tribute this year is better than previous years, so I gave you some more. Now it is really excellent!"
Wen Xi smiled. Today, she just wanted to show off to her concubine, so she dressed more luxuriously. People rely on clothes as much as they rely on gold. What kind of posture you want to put on, you must dress accordingly.
It's just that she doesn't like to dress too nouveau riche. But she doesn't refute Kangxi's words, she just keeps smiling.
The red charcoal in the charcoal pot was burning vigorously. The warmth was suffocating. In the center of the beauty's couch in the charcoal pavilion, there was this large box with red peony patterns. Inside were various silk threads, gold threads and scissors. She had just learned how to cut bamboo from her.
Luo Zi, but nothing came out. Thinking that the auspicious knot, which was worse than a child's craftsmanship, was still in Kangxi's hand, Wen Xi couldn't help but blush.
When Kangxi saw it, his voice contained a hint of tenderness: "I won't disturb you. Whatever you want to do, just keep doing it."
Wen Xi was slightly embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I'm not in a hurry." The concentric knot that Kangxi wanted was difficult to learn, but Wen Xi was also a little worried. The silk thread was already thin, and if you want to weave the intricate silk thread into an exquisite concentric knot
, is not a simple matter.
Kangxi, however, looked very interested and said: "The concentric knot. Just use red to weave it, and just add a bright yellow tassel at the bottom. I will keep it as a fan pendant."
Wen Xi blinked her eyes and said doubtfully: "It's winter now, and the fans have been put on the shelf for a long time. Doesn't the emperor not intend to put the concubine's concentric knot on the shelf as well?" As she said that, she pouted her mouth, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Kangxi suddenly smiled mischievously. There was a joke in his eyes, "If my concubine made a concentric knot with her own hands, I would naturally wear it every day. But I thought, with my concubine's small hands... I think it will be next summer."
Only then can you weave a concentric knot that looks like it, and it just falls on the fan."
Wen Xi immediately became angry from embarrassment and tried to hit him, but when she saw there were others around her, she had to drop her waving fist. She stamped her feet angrily, "Is this concubine that stupid?!"
Kangxi laughed happily. "No matter how stupid my beloved concubine is, I will never dislike her!"
Wen Xiqi puffed up her cheeks, grabbed a ball of bright red silk thread and pulled it in her hand, trying to pull out one, but it was messed up into a ball. The ball became more and more messy and became more and more difficult to untie.
, Wenxi was so angry that she grabbed the silver scissors in the box and was about to crush them. Zhuer hurriedly came up and grabbed the scissors and the ball of thread, comforting her with kind words: "My master, what I need to untie the ball of thread is
Patience, where can I use brute force?”
Kangxi sat on the chair with gold and gold carvings opposite and his smile became more and more narrow-minded. Wen Xi was ashamed and angry, and his face turned purple with anger, which made him look ugly. But Zhu'er was still nagging and preaching: "Master wants to
When learning to tie a knot, the most important thing you need to learn is patience. People who are impatient will never be able to learn this thing well!"
Wen Xi wanted to refute, but found that she had no way to refute. In terms of patience, Wen Xi was far inferior to Zhu'er. She could only glare angrily at Kangxi, who could only read jokes.
Zhu'er straightened out the silk thread in a short while, and was about to hand it to Wen Xi, but took it back and twisted the silk thread into a ball. While wrapping it, she said: "Fortunately, the silk thread is slippery and easy to untie. It would be bad if it were cotton thread."
Okay. The slave helps the master to twist it into a ball, so that it will not be messed up easily." After saying that, he twisted it into a round red ball of thread as big as an oval, and then handed it to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi turned her hand and threw it into the holding box. The round ball of thread spun around in the holding box for a few times before stopping. She no longer wanted to hold such a difficult thing today, so she ordered: "Go get it."
Prepare some exquisite snacks in the dining room, I want to eat them now."
Zhu'er had no choice but to go down as told, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.
Kangxi suddenly straightened his body, suppressed most of his smile, and with deep thought in his eyes, he said firmly: "I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing that Kangxi was not joking like before, Wen Xi had to straighten up and listen attentively.
"I see that Jade Candai is not young anymore. I plan to choose an auspicious day for canonization next year." Kangxi looked at Wen Xi attentively and said. The meaning of his words was not a discussion with Wen Xi but rather a notice.
Wen Xi frowned and said, "Bi'er is still young and is not in a hurry to get married."
"I know," Kangxi said with a faint smile in his eyes, as if he could see through Wen Ru's heart, "Jade Candai is not too big if she is big, and she is not too small if she is small. I just wanted to canonize her in advance."
Wen Xi said oh, princesses are always canonized before getting married. Kangxi said this, Wen Xi was a little relieved, but then she frowned and said: "The fifth princess Qi Buchen is one year older than Bi'er.
, we can’t let my younger sister get ahead of my elder sister.”
Kangxi lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then let's canonize them together! It will also make Qi Buchen feel happy about the jade."
Kangxi continued to smile and said: "When it comes to getting married, although we are not in a hurry, it is still time to choose a prince-in-law! Naturally, Qi Buchen will also watch."
Wen Xi said with kindness, "The only thing is that the emperor promised me that I would not let Bi'er marry far away from Mongolia."
Kangxi walked to Wen Xi and sat on the beauty's couch. He held Wen Xi's hand and said, "It's natural! I have someone who looks good and I want to talk to him." Kangxi paused and stared at it.
Warm eyes: "What do you think of Shun Anyan?"
Wen Xi was confused for a moment, "Who is Shun Anyan?" Suddenly, a flash occurred in her mind, and the name Shun Anyan was very familiar, and she blurted out: "Tong Guowei's grandson? Fourth elder brother's companion?!"
Kangxi nodded, "Not bad."
Wen Xi was reluctant, because without him, Shun Anyan was the nephew of Concubine Tong and Concubine Tong! It was Concubine Tong's work that allowed Shun Anyan to become the companion of fourth elder brother Yinzhen. Although Wen Xi had not seen it,
Although I have passed this person, I don’t want my daughter to marry into the Tong family.
Shun Anyan, the eldest grandson of Tong Guowei, and the future heir to the Duke Chengen title of Tong Jia's family, is not sure how kind his character is. However, it is not bad to be Yinzhen's companion, and judging from Tong
With the looks of the imperial concubine and Tong Bi, this person must be just as good-looking, but he is gentle and reluctant after all.
Moreover, Shun Anyan is about the same age as the fourth elder brother, around 20 years old. As the eldest grandson of the Tong Jia family, he has not yet married, which shows that he has planned to be the master for a long time. The palace and Shun Anyan are the same age
There were quite a few princesses, and the gentle sixth princess was of the highest origin and the most beloved by the emperor. She was not happy to think that her daughter had been coveted for a long time.
How could Kangxi, such a sharp-sighted person, fail to see Wen Ru's reluctance, so he could only comfort him: "I do care about the friendship between Nian and the Tong Jia family, but I don't care about Yu Pandai's happiness. Shun Anyan is here."
He is a good-looking person, young and promising, but he is also an excellent candidate."
Wen Xi said in a low voice: "Shun Anyan is about twenty years old, right? He must have many concubines, right?"
Kangxi laughed and said: "Shun Anyan is a self-possessed person. He is not a lustful person. Not only does he have no concubines, he doesn't even have anyone in his house."
Wen Xi was slightly startled, "Really?!" He was born into a wealthy family, but he is not lustful? If this is really the case, it is not impossible to consider. I just don't know whether he has no concubine because he is not lustful, or because he is the master.
Why is the future plan so self-sufficient? However, both the former and the latter are candidates that can be considered.
Kangxi smiled, quite proudly: "I have asked people to take the exam carefully and secretly for a long time! Ever since the fourth child got married, I made her a blue feather bodyguard, and she was promoted to a second-class bodyguard last year."
Second-class bodyguard sounds quite humble, but as a bodyguard, he was promoted step by step from Lan Ling Guard, and Shun Anyan's promotion speed is quite fast. Second-class bodyguard is a third-class, once he is released, he will be
A high-ranking official in the border areas, or an official position such as a minister of the Six Ministries, will definitely have an extraordinary future. If he can be the master, his future will be even brighter.
Wen Xi hesitated slightly, unable to make up his mind. Kangxi, however, had no intention of forcing it. He patted Wen Xi's hand with a hint of discussion and said, "Well, I'll ask Yu Diandai to go and have a look some other day. See if it suits you."
It’s pleasing to the eye.”
"I want to take a look, too!" Wen Xi said immediately. Her daughter is still very simple when it comes to matters between men and women. What if she is deceived?
Kangxi had a displeased look on his face and said, "You are my concubine!" His tone was inexplicably sour, which showed that Shun An's face was not bad, and he might have the appearance of Pan An and Song Yu.
Wen Xi pouted: "You should treat your mother-in-law as your son-in-law, isn't that enough?!"
Kangxi was a little unhappy at first, but he was immediately amused by Wen Xi's words and expression. He waved his hand and said, "You can come to Yangxin Hall to take a look someday!" The imperial guard said,
Naturally, they serve in front of the emperor. The harem area is naturally a forbidden area for the guards. They only need to patrol along the fixed route every day. The concubines' palaces and gardens are absolutely not allowed to go, so they have to go to the Yangxin Hall. (To be completed.)
