Chapter 29, Concubine Tong made an appointment with Kangxi
The tea has been dried to a warm temperature, that is this spring's pre-rain Longjing, the tea soup is clear, and the aroma is striking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Such a good tribute tea can be many times better than the monthly tea Lu'an melon slices.
The tea flows round between the mouth, and its fragrance lingers on the teeth, and the aftertaste is endless. Zhao Yan tasted it quietly, and her whole mind was on this tea.
And Concubine Tong, although she was also holding a tea cup in her hand, her eyes were glued to Kangxi's body, and she commanded: "Hurry up and bring the fourth elder brother to ask the emperor for peace." β
Zhao Yan finally met the legendary Yongzheng, but now he is still just an infant milk doll. The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was born at the end of October last year, and he is only eight months old now, and he can neither speak nor walk. Please be safe, naturally the nurse knelt down and kowtowed: "The fourth elder brother has asked the emperor for peace." β
Kangxi let out a faint "hmm" and called flat. The white and happy nurse hurriedly hugged the white and tender fourth elder brother and stepped forward to show Kangxi. Zhao Yan couldn't help but stretch his neck to look, the fourth elder brother was born white and tender, the weather was getting hotter, and the fourth elder brother's little face was also red, at the moment he was grinning and yawning, looking like he hadn't slept enough.
Kangxi glanced at it and said, "I've been listless lately, but I'm not as lively as before." β
Concubine Tong Guifei looked nervous, and she hurriedly explained: "It's been hot recently, and the concubines don't dare to put too much ice in the children's room, so the fourth elder brother's appetite is not too good. β
Kangxi snorted, and seemed to be quite satisfied with this explanation, and his tone was a little soothing: "On such a hot day, adults still have poor appetites, let alone children." After that, Kangxi turned his head to look at Zhao Yan: "You have been losing weight recently." β
was coldly cared about by Boss Kang, which made Zhao Yan stunned, and said with a smile: "Is there any? "ββThe diet in the palace is greasy, and it has been hot recently, who can eat those big fish and meat? Naturally, they can only pick up vegetarian dishes to eat, and they will naturally lose weight. However, Zhao Yan is quite happy, and the modern concept is naturally that thin is better than plump.
Kangxi Zhengse asked: "But the eunuch in charge of Yanxi Palace is not satisfied?"
Zhao Yan hurriedly shook her head: "How could it be?" Didn't the emperor say that on such a hot day, adults will also have a bad appetite. β
Kangxi cared so much about Zhao Yan, but he put Tong Guifei, the main master, aside.
Concubine Tong maintained an excellent demeanor, sitting upright, smiling, and her eyes were soft, and she said softly: "Sister Guerjia has just entered the palace, and everything has to be used to slowly. β
As she spoke, she said "ah", looked at the empty tea cup in Zhao Yan's hand, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that this tea is very suitable for my sister's taste!" and hurriedly ordered the palace maid beside her: "Hurry up and give Guerjia a noble another cup of tea." β
Zhao Yan thought to herself, one tea welcomes, and the second tea is meant to send guests, Concubine Tong is ......
But it's not up to her to decide whether to go or not, so she had to not think about it, thanked Concubine Tong for her kindness, took the new tea, lowered her head and tasted it slowly.
Concubine Tong said with a smile: "It's so hot, the sisters in the palace went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and most of them went back to the palaces to rest, so as not to be exposed to the poisonous sun." Why is it just past noon, and Sister Guerjia doesn't stay in Yanxi Palace to cool off? Where are you going?"
Concubine Tong's tone was very gentle, but Zhao Yan understood the meaning of her words: Why don't you stay in your own palace and wander around?!
Zhao Yan was busy about to explain, but Boss Kang took the first step to speak: "Where else can she go except Jingyang Palace?"
Zhao Yan secretly thought, it didn't seem to be her illusion, Kangxi really didn't like her running to Jingyang Palace. However, for Mao Zhaoyan to be confused, what a strange circuit is in Boss Kang's brain......
But Concubine Tong thought differently in her heart, Kangxi's tone was not happy, of course Concubine Tong could hear it, so she couldn't help but think, is the emperor blaming her for targeting the Guerjia clan? β
"What is there to envy?!" Boss Kang looked even more unhappy.
Concubine Tong was stunned, where did she say something wrong, "Your Majesty ......"
Just when Concubine Tong was at a loss, the fourth elder brother cried "wow", and the nurse hurriedly patted and coaxed, saying, "Your master, the fourth elder brother is about hungry." β
Concubine Tong hurriedly said: "Then don't you hug it and feed it quickly." β
"Yes. The nurse bowed and hurriedly hugged the fourth elder brother and withdrew.
Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Children are like this, they sleep when they are full, and they are hungry when they wake up." β
Hearing this, Concubine Tong was puzzled: "How do you know that the fourth elder brother has just woken up?"
Zhao Yan smiled slightly: "It's just after noon, and most adults will take a nap, let alone children." Second, the fourth elder brother looked sleepy. β
When Kangxi heard this, he showed a little interest: "It's just lazy in summer, not necessarily just woke up." β
Zhao Yan continued: "Yes, the concubine also said that due to the summer heat, the fourth elder brother has been mentally exhausted recently. But the concubine clearly saw that the fourth elder brother's right ear was pressed out of the hair mark and red, indicating that he had been sleeping sideways. β
Kangxi was slightly stunned: "You look carefully." β
Concubine Tong covered her lips and said slowly: "Sister Guerjia is so careful, not at all like a concubine who has never been born. β
This seems to be ironic.
Zhao Yan's experience in this area is actually unique in this life, she said in a low voice: "There are many little nephews and nieces in the concubine's family, and the concubine has watched them grow up since she was a child, so she ...... it" - in fact, it is mainly from the experience gained from the third brother. Before the age of three, she and Zhaojing ate and lived together, and it was difficult to understand it!
Kangxi looked at her cheek and said, "You like children very much?"
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "I don't think anyone hates children, right?" - children may be naughty, but at least they won't be full of bad water to calculate you. If you coax him, he will smile at you, and that kind of innocence will never be possible in an adult.
Concubine Tong stared at Zhao Yan's smile with a pair of fine eyes, and said gently: "My sister is so careful and compassionate, I don't know what kind of lovely child she will give birth to in the future, but this palace has some expectations." β
This kind of thing, I also know that it is impossible for Concubine Tong to look forward to it. Zhao Yan secretly complained in her heart. This master's acting skills can be regarded as the pinnacle, saying such inappropriate words, but he can look so serious.
Concubine Tong said this, Zhao Yan only listened to it as a counterword, but Kangxi listened to it in his heart, and he couldn't help but think about it according to Concubine Tong's words...... What kind of cute child will it be? For a moment, his expression was a little erratic.
Concubine Tong's words were just for Kangxi to show her virtuousness, where would she want Zhao Yan to have a child. Then he turned his head and smiled gently, and said to Kangxi: "It's been hot at night recently, and mint herbal tea is boiling in the concubine's kitchen, why don't the emperor accompany the concubine to use a bowl at night?"
Zhao Yan smiled secretly in her heart, isn't this special drop just a date! Staying at night to use herbal tea? This excuse is quite good! A date can be said so elegantly!
Concubine Tong was so tender, but Boss Kang didn't appreciate it at all, "I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, and you can ask someone to send them to the Qianqing Palace later." β
Concubine Tong couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, so she had to hang her head and say, "Yes." Then, he said earnestly: "Then the emperor must remember to use it." β
Boss Kang let out a faint "um".
Staying up until the evening, Zhao Yan and Concubine Tong sent the emperor out of Jingren Palace.
