After the canonization ceremony of Heshuo Jingshun Princess Qi Buchen and Gu Lun Wenqi Princess Yu Ludai, the ice melted and the snow melted, the days became warmer, and the date of the southern tour was also decided. Kangxi issued an edict: all supplies,
It will be handled by Beijing, so as not to disturb the people.
As for the list of entourage in the harem, Wen Xi also discussed it with Concubine Cheng, because Kangxi selected the prince, the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and
The Seventeenth Prince is accompanying him, so the brothers' biological and adoptive mothers are naturally accompanying him. All the concubines, except Concubine Xuan, are accompanying him on the journey south. The fifteenth Prince's biological mother, Chen Chang, is also accompanying him, and his adoptive mother, Concubine Shen, is also accompanying him. In addition,
In addition, there was He Changzai who was named by Kangxi to accompany him, and then there were the Song family, the noble family in Chengfei Palace, the noble family Cao, and several young Changzai. They agreed and it was done. And Yulu
Dai and Qi Buchen, the personnel have been decided.
After discussing it, they informed the Sixth Palace and asked the concubines to get ready. Wen Xi drove back to the palace in a sedan chair, only to see Yu Ludai wearing the clothes of a guard. Wen Xi happened to catch him, and it seemed that he had just arrived.
She looked like she was coming back in a hurry. She was so gentle that she didn't get angry in front of people, and they just asked her to go back to the side hall to change clothes.
Wen Xi had always doted on this daughter, so Yu Ludai's temperament was indeed a bit arrogant. Wen Xi suppressed her anger and asked, "Where did you go?!" The southern tour was about to happen, and nothing could happen.
Mozi, Kangxi finally agreed that Yu Ludai would accompany him, and Wen Xi had been very strict with her over the years. Unexpectedly, she even secretly wore the clothes of the guards and didn't know where she came back from.
Yu Ludai changed into the clothes that a princess should have, and lowered her head. She did not dare to lie to Wen Xi, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I'm leaving the palace."
Wen Xi's face darkened, "We're going on a southern tour soon, won't you keep your temper low?!"
Yu Ludai didn't dare to look into Wen Xi's flaming eyes, rubbed her silk, and said: "Didn't E Niang say before... I should go and apologize to him? My daughter went to Tong Jia's Cheng'en Palace.
"
"You went to visit Shun Anyan?!" Wen Xi couldn't help but frowned slightly. Shun Anyan was also unlucky. It was just a dislocation. It only took half a month to recover. The road was slippery in winter, so it was difficult to recover.
My arm, when I went out during the Chinese New Year, I accidentally fell and dislocated it. The injury was in the same place, so it was very serious. So it’s still not healed and I haven’t returned to the imperial palace to serve as a guard. No wonder Yulu
Dai had no choice but to leave the palace.
Wen Xi let out a long sigh, "His injury will eventually heal. When he recovers, he will naturally answer the imperial servants. Why rush?"
Yu Ludai secretly glanced at Wen Xi's face, and seemed to be relieved. He said: "In two days, I will leave for the south. My daughter is afraid that it will take several months. After all, my daughter has done something wrong. I must tell her.
Sorry, my heart will be at peace."
Wen Xi was also looking at Yu Ludai's expression carefully. Seeing her being so attached to Shun Anyan, she also remembered Qi Buchen's first love for Shun Anyan... Wen Xi asked hurriedly: "Bier, you
The teacher replied: Do you like Shun Anyan?"
Yu Ludai's eyes suddenly widened and he stamped his feet angrily: "What did E Niang say!"
Wen Xi held her daughter's hand. "Don't be shy in front of your mother. If you like her, just say you like her! Don't hide anything."
Yu Ludai pouted, "No!" and then pouted his nose, "My daughter just went to see if he was healed. If he was healed, she would have to fight him again. She couldn't do it last time.
My daughter won’t be reconciled to winning or losing!”
Wen Xi looked at Yu Ludai suspiciously, not as if she was shy, and said in a deep voice: "So, you don't like him?"
Yu Ludai thought for a while and then said: "It's not that I don't like it...Of course I don't like it! It's just that I don't hate it!"
Wen Xi stared straight at Yu Ludai and said with great solemnity: "If you don't like him, don't get too close to him."
Yu Ludai couldn't help but wonder, "Why?"
"Because -" Wen Xi paused, "Look at me, Qi Buchen is a little tempted. If you don't like her, give her to Qi Buchen. Of course, if you like her, just get closer."
It doesn’t matter, my mother will also propose marriage to your Emperor Ama for you.”
"I don't like him at all!" Yu Ludai curled his lips disdainfully, "It's just because his skills are still good! I will have to be good at my forehead skills in the future, he is still a little bit behind!" Then he looked at it.
Xiang Wenxi: "Does Sister Qi Buchen really like him?"
Wenxi nodded.
Yu Ludai hummed, shrugged, and said, "Okay, then my daughter will stay away from him, and Shun Anyan will be given to the fifth sister!"
Seeing that Yu Ludai spoke in an understatement, as if what he was giving away was not a piece of forehead, but just a pearl flower or a walking stick, and there was no reluctance at all, Wen Xi felt relieved.
In February of the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi set out for his third southern tour. The purpose of this southern tour was still to inspect river works. Since Le Fu's death, Kangxi had several river governors, but unfortunately they were far behind Le Fu, especially
The embankments of Huang and Huai have collapsed year after year. In the past few years, due to the Galdan incident, I had no time to take care of it. Now I finally have time to do it.
When they arrived in Shandong, Kangxi became very busy, almost wearing stars and moons. Later, he only took one boat, reduced his retinue, left his entourage behind, and went ahead to take precautions in various places south of the Yellow River. Wen Xi was in the dragon
On the ship, Xiao Pomegranate was taken away by Kangxi, leaving only Yu Ludai and Xiao Mi Tao, and their days were boring.
Recently, the governor of Shandong presented a lot of delicious and fun things. Unfortunately, Kangxi reprimanded him and fined him a year's salary, so no one dared to contribute, so life became more and more boring.
In the evening, when I heard Xiao Mi Tao playing a song, I yawned repeatedly, but Xiao Mi Tao looked very depressed and asked, "Why doesn't Huang Ama take his son out?"
Wen Xi glanced at him sideways, "Do you think that's a good job? There are many dams in the Yellow River, and the emperor has to inspect them one by one. With your small body, can you bear it?"
Yu Ludai covered his mouth and snickered. Xiao Mi Tao looked angry, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After all, he was still small, but Xiao Pomegranate was three years older than him, and he was also taller.
More than a head taller.
Wen Xi waved her hand and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed." Kangxi wouldn't be back today, so Wen Xi was naturally too lazy to wait for him.
Just when I lay down, I heard the wind blowing outside, which made me sleepless. Wen Xi got up and got a cloak, and was supported by the little maid who kept watch at night. She went out to have a look. My eyelids were twitching tonight, and I always felt like...
It seemed like something was going to happen. The palace was a garden owned by a local gentry. It was not too big, but very elegant, and had the charm of Jiangnan landscape. Wen Xi also heard that the owner of the garden was originally from Suzhou.
When we came out, the wind was not very strong. It blew coldly on our face, but we lost sleep. Suddenly, Wen Xi saw a white thing sliding across the sky. Wen Xi frowned deeply. See you again.
The thing seemed to fall from the western sky, and Wenxi quietly returned to the house.
In the red tent, Wen Xi's heart turned over and over again. She didn't know whether she should take this risk. Thinking that she had the biggest weapon, space, she gritted her teeth, put on her clothes, popped out a wisp of green smoke, and called the indoor vigil.
The palace maids all fell asleep, so they put the invisibility charm on their bodies and left the palace.
After traveling ten miles to the west, Wen Xi saw a huge pit under the moonlight. In the pit, a gray-faced man coughed twice before crawling out of the pit. The man looked young, with a dusty face that could not be seen.
He looks like a Taoist priest, but he is dressed in a silver-white Taoist robe, with a white jade crown on his head. His hair is as black as black ink, but it is the attire of a Taoist priest. Men in the Qing Dynasty need to shave their heads, but there is also a rule of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", so Taoist priests can keep it.
hair.
"Who are you?!" Before Wen Xi could say anything, the man exclaimed, as if he had seen a ghost.
Wen Xi wears a lilac flag dress and specially wears flat embroidered shoes on her feet. She didn't have time to comb her hair, so she only tied it with moon-white silk satin. Her hair is very long, hanging down to the bend of her knees.
Under the gentle night wind, the ribbons and black hair were flying together. The night wind was a bit cold, and a corner of the cloak with brocade flowers was blown up and fluttered.
Wen Xi looked at this interesting person with amusement. Is he the person who flew over the palace with a sword just now?... Yes, he still had a green-edged sword in his hand, but the scabbard was left there.
In the pit, he smiled warmly and said: "When you ask other people's names, shouldn't you state your own name?"
The Taoist felt embarrassed and immediately straightened up. Under the backlight of the moonlight, he could not see his gentle face clearly. Now he stood up. He was eight feet tall. Only then could he clearly see his gentle face.
The woman with the picturesque features immediately straightened out her messy clothes, clasped her hands in fists, and said as usual: "I am Shi Jingyi, my Taoist name is Master Jingyi, and I am the disciple of Master Yaoshan!"
Master Yaoshan? Listening to his rather proud tone, Wen Xi had never heard of this person's name. He could also see Wen Xi's face and couldn't help but wonder: "Fellow Taoist, have you never heard of the name of a master?"
"Fellow Taoist??" Wen Xi's eyes widened and she couldn't help laughing, "I'm not a female Taoist priest." She was dressed in a uniform, and she wasn't a Taoist priest either.
Shi Jingyi looked at Wen Xiyitong, nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist is a person with good cultivation, and... Judging from the appearance of fellow Taoist, he should have entered the golden elixir avenue! People who share the same Taoist path should naturally be called fellow Taoist.
"Then he bowed and said, "How do you address me, fellow Taoist?"
Seeing his sincerity, Wen Xi said, "I don't have a nickname, just call me Wen Xi." This was his real name, and this was the first time he told anyone. Even Kangxi didn't know it.
He made a sound and said with a bright smile: "I think Taoist friend Wen must live in the garden to the east. I came out of seclusion for many years and noticed the breath of Dao Jindan monk. I was so shocked that I fell from the sky.
."
Wen Xi couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that it was because of her that she fell from the sky. However, this Shi Jingyi was rough-skinned and thick-skinned. He fell from such a high place and fell into such a big pit, but he was fine.
