Chapter 7: The First Promise of Grace
Feeling tired, Sang Zi twisted her head slightly, and threw the brush in her hand in the paint box, and before she could start calling someone, she felt a stranger beside her.
After a long time of concentration, her eyes were sour, and now she felt tired even when she opened her eyes, thinking like this, she went directly to her chair, gently rubbed her eyes with her fingers, and then looked at the person in front of her with half-squinted, swollen eyes and said: "Stranger, you can leave, and the next time you get lost, find someone to show you the way." With that, he closed his eyes and relieved his fatigue.
Seeing that woman actually regarded him as a stranger, Kangxi felt funny, and then looked at the person who closed his eyes and recuperated, he didn't want to care so much, so he sat down by himself.
Feeling the stranger around him, not only did he not leave, but he also sat down and asked: "Cuizhuxuan is relatively remote, if you can't find your way back, this palace will let the people below send you back." ”
Hearing what she said again, Kangxi felt that it was not bad to be a lost person, and looked at her and said: "Since you think this place is remote, why don't you let the emperor change places for you?"
Sang Zi felt that Kangxi was taking her for a fool, although she was half-squinting just now, but when he opened his mouth, his identity had already been determined, besides, when was there a lack of people around her, I think someone let them leave, so thinking about it, what else did she not understand?
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace!" Sang Zi saluted.
Knowing that his identity was exposed, Kangxi looked at the smart woman in front of him with interest, thinking that she had done so many rude things, and she could salute and greet her without changing her face, he admired her a little, didn't she know that she had killed so many people?
According to Liang Jiugong, most of the concubines have been here this month, and it is impossible for the concubines not to mention things outside the palace, but she can actually salute herself without changing her face, is she really not knowing, or is she hiding too deeply?
"Let's get up. ”
"Thank you for your kindness!" he said, and got up.
"Do you know anything outside the palace?"
After saying that, he stared into her eyes tightly, trying to see her love clearly.
"What the emperor said, is it a matter of dealing with the coated minions?" said, she was afraid that Kangxi would give her the charge of 'detecting the emperor's traces' and '**interfering in politics', and then said: "The emperor's handling of the coated minions, the queen's mother has already passed it down when the concubines asked for peace, and later, the palace also disposed of a group of coated minions, and the concubines naturally heard a little about this matter." ”
Hearing her calm words, Kangxi felt that he was thinking too much, and immediately set up dinner here, after the two of them ate, it was still early, Kangxi asked her to take her to the study, but the place where she lived was originally a side hall, and that small place was not big, and then in order to place the reward and his own dowry into the palace, the current west side hall is simply small and a little pitiful.
Of course, she had no choice but to put the books and calligraphy and paintings she often read in her boudoir, firstly, because she had no place to put them, and secondly, after she had bathed, she always had to let her hair dry completely. In this way, while writing and drawing, you can dry your hair and not get bored.
"How. You don't want to?"
Kangxi looked at the little woman who looked a little hesitant and said.
Hearing this, Sang Zi was almost frightened, and immediately replied: "The concubine's study is a little narrow, lest the emperor be wronged." As he spoke, he nervously pinched his handkerchief.
"Lead the way ahead. Kangxi decided.
In desperation, she had to take people to the inner room, as she walked, Kangxi finally knew why, which expression would she be, only to see that the big bed was placed on the north wall, and there were two rows of cabinets on the east wall, only to see that there was enough empty walking space on three sides, and there were three rows of bookshelves on the south side, and a wooden shelf for bath towels could be vaguely seen inside, and the bath bucket was also clearly exposed through the white curtain.
The north side is much simpler, only to see a large cabinet, put a few boxes, look at the boxes are made of sandalwood, there should be some paintings placed in it, extending out is a desk next to the cabinet.
I saw that the book sat on the neat common research table, pen and ink, and a row of wooden boxes around the table, and inside the box, a circle of delicate small bamboos was planted.
Seeing this smile, Rao is she felt nothing, and couldn't help but blush, at this time, it was originally her most comfortable bath time, but it was postponed because of Kangxi's arrival.
"What are you doing at this time?"
"Bathing!" she said without hesitation, but she regretted it when she said it.
Hearing this answer, it was not difficult for Kangxi to think that the woman after bathing, dressed in a nightgown, leisurely reading a book or a painting, thinking like this, Kangxi couldn't help but be a little moved, so he asked her to go to Zhunbai.
After the bath water was ready, Sang Zi took some tea fragrant leaves and put them in it, and she didn't care what Kangxi's hobbies were, she only came in the way she liked.
Seeing the woman who came out, Kangxi was very uncley and asked people to undress for others, although she was very contemptuous of this kind of slave practice, she also knew that this was her duty, and slowly stretched out her hands and began to undo these cumbersome buttons.
Finally, the clothes were solved, but now she had to wash his body again, this damn dynasty, she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Entering the bath barrel, Kangxi suddenly spoke: "This is tea?"
"This is a kind of tea fragrant leaves, but also a kind of tea, just because it has no tea fragrance, and gradually is included in the incense category, when the concubine was eight years old, the concubine did not like the taste of those ink incense, so people began to refine the pigments used in painting, and later made zuò successful, the concubine is often contaminated with a fragrance, for this reason, the concubine thought of tea, after the concubine's personal experience, the concubine felt that the tea fragrant leaves were more comfortable than the petals, so the tea fragrant leaves were used as bathing items. With that, she blushed and turned to the front to wipe it for him.
"A pound of tea fragrant leaves costs almost two taels of silver. As he spoke, he looked up at the little woman who was wiping herself.
Hearing his words, she smiled awkwardly, and didn't dare to say anything, although this silver is her own, but who makes the family the greatest? Even if she is reasonable, it is wrong!
You now have a monthly profit of forty-five taels of silver, and if you put in the tea leaves, there are at least two taels, so that in this way, the silver used for bathing in a month is six taels. As he spoke, he looked at the little woman in front of him: "You paint every day, and the paper and paint you need are also indispensable, what if you don't have any silver in the future?"
Sang Zi blinked a little puzzled, only then did he feel that Kangxi was idle and bored, and he even counted such a thing, at the moment: "Eniang gave the concubine a lot of silver, and she will definitely not let the concubine have no silver to spend." As he spoke, his little face was still filled with pride.
Kangxi here was speechless, although he also knew that as the daughter sent in by the family, he would not be short of silver, but with such a proud appearance as her, could it be said that he couldn't afford to support his own woman?
The two of them didn't show it on their faces, and they didn't know how many turns they had turned in their hearts, and after Kangxi took a bath, Sang Zi quickly took a bath towel for him to wipe his body, and changed into a nightgown, which allowed her to bathe.
After the water temperature was bathed by Kangxi, there was no temperature she liked for a long time, and she began to wash her hair. Maybe it's because she makes tea and fragrant leaves every day, her hair is extraordinarily black and thick, and even when she combs her hair, she rarely sees broken hair.
After washing, she wrapped her hair, and then changed into her nightgown, because her hair was too damp, she wasted a long time, and when she appeared again, Kangxi's eyes flashed with amazement.
The hair in the middle was draped behind him casually, and a red silk was tied around the waist underneath, and the hair on both sides was caught behind her ears, a perfect melon seed face, coupled with a pair of smiling phoenix eyebrows, as if he was making an invitation, Kangxi felt a burst of heat in his heart, and saw him put down the book in his hand, picked up the little woman who aroused his interest, and walked towards the bed.
