Kangxi was always busy with stops and starts along the way, and finally stopped when he arrived at Jiangning Yujia. The person in charge of picking up the driver was still the Jiangning Cao family. Kangxi also stayed here during his last southern tour.
Wen Xi looked at Zhizao Mansion and it seemed that it was much more luxurious than the last time. Wen Xi still lived in the place where he lived during his first southern tour, but this time it was not as good as before. It was a good time at the turn of spring and summer. Moreover, Kangxi intended to stay there.
I stayed in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, and if I could wait until the lychees were ripe, I would be in for a treat.
"This girl Yu Ludai can't be idle!" Although Kangxi's tone was reproachful, it also contained a hint of pampering. "I asked Cao Yin to send someone to protect her secretly. I think it won't be a big deal."
It is not easy to come to Jiangnan. Yuludai naturally took Qi Buchen out to play early. Jiangning is prosperous and prosperous, and it is a good season when the city is full of smoke and willows. The little girl always likes fresh things. She is not restrained by her warmth.
, Kangxi naturally took pictures of many people to protect him openly and secretly, and there were also nonsense words to follow, so nothing went wrong. It is worth mentioning that the person responsible for protecting him in the open was the imperial guards headed by Shun Anyan. What Kangxi meant
, Wen Xi naturally understands, but what Wen Xi thinks is that if Yu Ludai doesn't like Shun Anyan, Qi Buchen can take the opportunity to get close to him. Such a beautiful man cannot take advantage of outsiders.
Waiting on Kangxi to take off his outer robe, Kangxi had to have some free time in recent days and could take a nap at noon. Wen Xi dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving in the bedroom, and went to light the incense for sleeping, but suddenly she noticed a breath approaching.
, couldn't help but shook his head.
"This is a palace, not a place where real people should come." He said in a gentle tone.
Just like that day, Jingyi appeared in front of Wen Xi wearing silver robes. He glanced sideways at Kangxi who was lying in the tuanlongluo tent, and said, "Jingyi checked specifically, and it turns out that Mrs. Wen's husband is who he is today."
emperor."
She gave a warm and gracious voice, and added half a spoonful of benzoin with a silver spoon. She closed the lid of the enamel nine-dragon incense burner and took a gentle sniff. She could hear Kangxi's even breathing in her ears. The monk was indeed not an ordinary person. He came and went.
The palace is like a deserted place. Such people rarely set foot in the secular world, otherwise they will inevitably conflict with the imperial power in the secular world.
When Jing saw that Wen Xi was silent, she took half a step forward and said: "I know the reason why Madam did this. She is committed to the emperor and relies on the method of dual cultivation. It can indeed be beneficial, but Madam has already condensed the golden elixir, and the Emperor no longer knows how to treat Madam.
After all the help, Madam, you can leave now and don’t have to be bound by the world.”
Wen Xi picked up the ivory-handled acacia fan that was lying aside and shook it gently. Jiangnan always heats up faster than Beijing, so it was time to get the round fan. Wen Xi only said softly:
"He is my husband and the father of my three children."
Jingyi froze slightly, leaned forward and said, "Jingyi is abrupt."
Seeing the bed, Kangxi didn't seem to be woken up, but... Wen Xi remembered that Kangxi usually had a light sleep and would wake up easily with the slightest sound. Jingyi explained: "I have cast a soundproofing spell. Madam.
Although I feel reassured, he will not hear it." After a pause, Jingyi stood gracefully beside the incense burner and continued: "As I said before, Jingyi hopes that one day he and his wife can be Taoist couples."
Wen Xi pursed her lips, with a bit of alienation and anger: "Just like my original answer, I have no intention of committing to anyone else! With the real person Zhilan Yushu, why worry about not being able to find a satisfactory Taoist companion? Why worry about others?
wife?!"
Jingyi was a little embarrassed by Wen Xi's words, so she cupped her hands and said, "It's Jingyi who is too impatient. It's just that the monk is unruly, so please forgive me for any offence." As he said this, he took out a white rupee from his sleeve.
The pattern on the mutton-fat jade pendant was not a dragon and a phoenix, nor was it the five blessings and longevity, nor any auspicious pattern that Wen Xi had ever seen, but a mysterious and mysterious pattern. He placed the jade pendant on Wen Xi's body.
On the carved red sandalwood incense table on the side, "I just ask Madam to think carefully. If Madam wants to see Jingyi, just break this jade pendant into pieces."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Xi was about to refuse, but found that he had disappeared. Wen Xi blushed with anger, grabbed the jade pendant and was about to throw it to the ground, when she saw Kangxi seemed to wake up on the bed, so she had to throw the jade pendant away.
If you put it in your sleeve, you have to serve it quickly. Kangxi was always a giant baby in life who could only put his clothes on and stretch out his hands.
Kangxi glanced at the room suspiciously and said, "Maybe I'm dazzled..."
Wen Xi glanced behind her and smiled. What would Kangxi be like if he knew that a super handsome man was coming to him? Kangxi was so petty-minded that he refused to let go because of Urgon's idea.
If he really saw Jingyi planning to pursue his wife after his death... Haha, even if Jingyi was a cultivator, Kangxi would have to strangle him to death.
"You should change into Han Chinese clothes." Kangxi took the robe handed over by Wen Xi. It was a sea-blue silk robe with dark embroidery of five-clawed dragons. It was what Kangxi usually wore, but he didn't plan to wear it today.
After putting it on, he said: "Find me some regular clothes too."
Wen Xi was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. She went to find a dark bamboo green engraved silk embroidered "Fu" gown for Kangxi. The material was ordinary Peng Satin. Although it was also a tribute material, it was also owned by wealthy people, so it would not be missed.
Because of his identity, he could no longer wear the bright yellow boots embroidered with dragons that he usually wore, so he changed into black-soled shoes with bamboo leaves entwined with branches. He was also given a Baifu pattern ink jade pendant and a Pisces sachet.
Wen Xi also brought Hanfu, but she had not worn it for many years. She remembered that the last time she wore it was when she had not returned to the palace. She knew that during this southern tour, she might have a chance to go out, so she prepared them all. Wen Xi wore a Hunan suit.
A high-waisted skirt with lychee pattern embroidered in imperial concubine color, with dark red silver embroidered osmanthus branch pattern straps tied on the chest, tied with a bow, and the hanging straps go straight in front of the knees. Therefore, the high-waisted skirt is also called chest-length skirt.
Underskirt. Underskirt is a "skirt" on the top and a "skirt" on the bottom. The folk customs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were not as open as those in the Han and Tang Dynasties, so this "mattress" uses a cross-collar undershirt. Wenxi chose narrow sleeves with autumn fragrance color and sea pattern.
He wears a collared jacket, with a lotus-colored lotus pattern wrapped around half of his arms on the outside.
Wenxi didn't know how to comb Han Chinese hair, so she called Zhuer in to comb her hair. Since she didn't want to waste too much time, she just asked Zhuer to do a simple bun with a few jade hairpins.
When Kangxi saw his neatly dressed clothes, he couldn't help but admired him: "I didn't expect you to look good in Han clothes. You look like a little bird!"
Wen Xi glared at him with a raised eyebrow, and took off her three-inch-high flowerpot-soled shoes. Naturally, the person was shorter, so he was like a "little bird clinging to a human"! There was no rest under his feet, and Wen Xi was not used to it, and felt
Kangxi seemed to be a little taller, and he was quite annoyed.
Because I went out in the afternoon, I couldn't go too far, so I could only walk around Jiangning City. But I was in a carriage, which was tightly covered. Kangxi also didn't allow Wenxi to open the curtain to look outside, so she felt like she was being trapped by a cat.
It looked like the claws were scratching.
Kangxi held Wen Xi's waist in his arms, deeply smelled the body fragrance on Wen Xi's body, and said, "Where do you want to go? I will accompany you today."
"Beside the Qinhuai River!" Wen Xi blurted out with a beaming smile. It was the liveliest place in Jiangning. Ten miles away from Qinhuai, beauties were like clouds on the golden towers, and the painted boats were singing and dancing in the waves. I don't know how many people flocked to this place.
Kangxi frowned, "That's not the place you should go!"
Wen Xi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is that where you should go?"
"Don't mention that dirty place again!" Kangxi raised his eyes and said with a bit of dignity, "Go to the Confucius Temple!"
"I know that I came out just to have fun, so let's go to the Confucius Temple." Kangxi softened his voice and said to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi cupped her chin and replied, "By the way, where did Yin Lu and Yin Li go?" No one has been seen in the past two days. They usually leave early in the morning and come back late.
Kangxi closed his eyes and fell asleep, and said: "I asked the fourth child to take them two." After that, he sighed deeply, "A lot of unsightly things happened in Jiangnan. I asked the fourth child to go and investigate. They
Let’s both learn from it.”
"What happened?" Wen Xi asked in confusion. She never cared about the court, so naturally she didn't know what big thing had happened.
Kangxi opened his eyes slightly, "Don't you know?"
"How did I know about the previous dynasty?" Wen Xi blinked.
Kangxi didn't make a sound and just said: "It's about the Jiangning Township Examination this year."
"Provincial Examination?" The Provincial Examination is an examination held by provincial-level units. All those who take part are scholars. Those who pass the examination will be promoted. But aren't the Provincial Examinations always held in autumn and August? Wen Xi suddenly thought of Kangxi's grace this year.
Ke, "Could someone be cheating?!"
Kangxi also looked angry, "This kind of thing happens all the time, but it is forbidden again and again! It's just that this year when I was on my southern tour, I specially opened Enke to give the scholars the opportunity to serve the country. I didn't expect that there are always some people who are so bold! The Gongyuan Ranking List a few days ago
When I came out alone, most of the learned scholars were dismissed, and the eunuchs' sons were at the top of the list. The scholars rioted because of this. I have dismissed the chief examiner Zuo Zifan and the deputy examiner Zhao Jin from their posts and put them in jail, and ordered that they be reinstated in five days.
Test."
It is said that cheating is absolutely forbidden, not to mention that it is closely related to the future of life. People are greedy, how can they not covet glory and wealth? Even in later generations, it is forbidden repeatedly, and Wen Ru was also in college.
I cheated a lot, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get my diploma.
Shrugging, he was gentle and uninterrupted when it came to government affairs. It was also the night I met Jingyi, and I chatted with him all night. He said that monks must not deliberately interfere in the rise and fall of the imperial dynasty, otherwise they will be counterattacked by the dragon vein.
Fortunately, Wen Xi had always adhered to the rule of "no political involvement in the harem" before. She had already seen the power of dragon veins, so naturally she had no intention of making fun of her own life. But if she "unintentionally" changed the direction of history, it would be fine.
The carriage drove for about half an hour. Li Dequan, who was dressed as an ordinary butler, bowed and opened the curtain and said: "Master, madam, the Confucius Temple has arrived." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
