Favor the imperial concubine

Since ancient times, there have been beautiful people in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Gusu City, which has produced beautiful women Xi Shi. However, recently, the name of the first beauty in Gusu was taken away by a woman from other places.

It is said that this beauty likes to wear a light purple Han costume the most, a delicate and beautiful pretty face is as bright as the morning glow, and her posture is graceful and moving. A pair of crystal clear apricot eyes seem to be able to speak, which makes people can't help but indulge in it. It's a pity that this beautiful and incomparable woman has already pulled up the woman's bun, which has caused all the talented people in Gusu City who have seen this woman's side to sigh and sigh sadly.

And every time the woman went out, she would be accompanied by a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a majestic posture. Since the beauty is already famous, and the husband is such a noble and natural person, people dare not force him, so even if someone likes this woman, he does not dare to show it in person, and can only sigh in his heart that he has no chance with the beauty.

The woman seemed to be very fond of the most famous snacks in Gusu City, and every morning she would eat a basket of crab roe soup dumplings, a plate of lotus root flour and ham dumplings, a small plate of sauce meat and a poria soft cake in the shop on the street accompanied by her husband.

Then, the two will rent a small boat and let the boatman hold the pulp and go around Gusu City for half a day. Every time the beautiful woman looks at the unique pink walls and tiles of the Jiangnan water town, the small bridge and flowing water, she will show a pleasant smile, and talk softly to her husband with her head sideways, and the old man will look at her with a smile, and her eyes are so soft that she can almost drip water, which really makes people have to sigh that the heroes since ancient times are sad to be beautiful! No matter how strong a man is, as long as he meets the woman he loves, Bailian Steel can also become a finger twister!

In the afternoon, the two of them will definitely go to the famous restaurant in Gusu City for dinner, the restaurant may not be the most luxurious and generous in Gusu City, but the signature dishes sold must be the most local delicacies.

After tasting the food, they will find a quiet and elegant teahouse, order a pot of Ming Qian Longjing, a pot of Lu'an melon slices, a plate of water-milled rice cakes, a begonia cake and a plate of extremely fragrant melon seeds, listen to a song, and spend an afternoon.

When the sun set, the two returned in the night, and when they returned home, they were already half drunk, and almost forgot the passage of time and the day of the day.

These two people are none other than Kangxi and Nian Xilan, who have been traveling together in Gusu City for more than ten days.

At this time, Kangxi had passed the throne to his eldest son Aixinjue Luo Yinxi and Nian Xilan, because of the dedicated assistance of his brothers, Yinxi was young and old, and he was able to handle state affairs and government affairs with ease, so Kangxi put his mind at ease, so he took Nian Xilan to play in the mountains and rivers, and walked all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

Because Nian Xilan particularly likes all kinds of delicacies in Gusu City, Kangxi simply bought a quiet and elegant garden in Gusu City, and reorganized it and named it Xi Garden. Because Kangxi's imperial pen is too conspicuous, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, so Kangxi handed over the work of this inscription to Nian Xilan to complete.

When Nian Xilan first learned the name, she was slightly stunned at first, and then she tasted some tastes, but she just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and then deliberately blinked her big smart eyes and asked Kangxi what special meaning the name of this garden had.

I still remember that at that time, Kangxi heard about Nian Xilan's question, immediately raised his eyebrows, glared at Nian Xilan for a long time, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Nian Xilan's pink cheeks, and then explained softly: "Xi, it has the meaning of brightness, beauty and peace, but it happens to be the same as my year name, your title, your boudoir name, and the name of our eldest son." I didn't think it before, but now it seems that we are destined to become a family. Kangxi smiled slightly, lowered his head and whispered softly in Nian Xilan's ear: "From the day your father named you when you were a baby, the fate between you and me has been doomed!" ”

Nian Xilan snuggled in Kangxi's arms, stretched out her arms around Kangxi's waist, raised her head and stared at Kangxi's eyes full of affection, and said softly: "Lan Er knows all these reasons. However, Lan'er just wanted to hear her master explain to me the meaning of the name of this garden......"

Kangxi tightened his arms and hugged Nian Xilan tighter into his arms, and said: "Lan'er wants to listen to it a few times, so I will say it to Lan'er a few times until Lan'er is tired of listening." Wait a minute, don't bother you......"

For Kangxi, the days of living in Xiyuan in Gusu City with Nian Xilan were very good, and there was only one thing that made Kangxi a little bored.

In the past two days, Guy has been obsessed with a restaurant called Peach Blossom Springs in Gusu City, and he has to take Kangxi to that restaurant for dinner every afternoon.

At the beginning, Kangxi was quite unimpressed with the name of the store, feeling that it was not worthy of the name and a little nondescript. Later, I found out that the food in this restaurant is indeed quite distinctive.

The owner of Peach Blossom Land changes the menu every day, and it is entirely up to the owner to decide and does not provide the menu according to the customer's request. The owner personally selects the freshest ingredients of the season every day and insists on preparing the dishes by himself. Even though the owner only cooks two rounds of dishes a day, the restaurant is still full of diners, and even makes reservations several days in advance just to taste the owner's amazing cooking skills.

The food here has a special taste, and those who have eaten here will be in a very satisfied mood, and even remember those original desires buried deep in the heart.

Later, Kangxi accidentally discovered that the owner of Peach Blossom Spring was actually a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a white robe, and he couldn't help but have a great impression of this restaurant.

Although this young man is just in his early twenties, he has a natural nobility and calmness in his gestures, even if Kangxi ordered the secret guards to visit carefully, they could not find out the identity of this young man, Kangxi was naturally wary of him in his heart, and he did not want Nian Xilan to have too much contact with him.

However, there is something special about this young man, he never mentions his first and last name to anyone, only an alias called a glutton. There were also people who admired the young man's appearance and talent, and planned to give him a matchmaker and tell him a good family affair for him. However, the glutton said that he had no intention of getting married for the time being, but wanted to accept a good apprentice who matched his eyes and inherit his cooking skills.

Knowing that the gluttony was planning to accept apprentices, the number of people who came to learn the art was countless, but they were all rejected by the gluttony on the grounds that it did not fit his eyes.

Nian Xilan saw that Kangxi didn't like the restaurant Peach Blossom Spring, so she begged Kangxi to go only one last time tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be a pity not to go to the place that has already been booked.

Kangxi has always doted on Nian Xilan, and he couldn't bear to see her disappointed look, so he nodded in agreement. There are dozens of secret guards on the left and right who are nearby to protect them, and there shouldn't be anything wrong.

In the afternoon of the next day, Kangxi took Nian Xilan to the Peach Blossom Spring, sat by the window, and was waiting for the food to be served, but saw Nian Xilan stunned and looked at a Taoist priest with white hair at the next table.

Even though the Taoist chief was old and his face was full of wrinkles, Kangxi still didn't like Nian Xilan looking at other men, even to the point of losing his mind.

When the Taoist chief saw Nian Xilan, he got up quite generously and stepped forward and greeted Nian Xilan warmly. also said that he had a master-apprentice relationship with Nian Xilan, and asked Nian Xilan if he was willing to go with him to cultivate, which made Kangxi so angry that he fell down.

Kangxi got up and blocked Nian Xilan behind him, and said coldly: "If the Taoist chief has anything to say, just tell me." My wife is shy, and I don't want her to be disturbed and frightened. ”

When the Taoist chief was about to speak, he saw Nian Xilan stretching out her hand and pulling Kangxi's sleeve, smiled at him, signaled that he was fine, and then got up and made a blessing to the Taoist chief, and said sincerely: "Being able to have a master-apprentice relationship with the Taoist is really a blessing from my three lifetimes." It's a pity that my heart is too heavy, and I still can't break through this red dust, and I can't extricate myself from the warmth of this world, and I don't want to leave. I ask for your pardon......"

The Taoist chief stared at Nian Xilan for a moment, twisted his beard and smiled, "Fate comes and goes, and it is normal." Madame doesn't need to worry too much. ”

Kangxi couldn't bear it anymore, so he directly grabbed Nian Xilan's wrist and took her away from the Peach Blossom Spring, determined to discuss the meaning of husband as wife with this woman tonight!

The glutton held the tray, looked at the back of Kangxi and Nian Xilan leaving together, and raised his eyebrows at the white-haired Taoist and said, "A good meal can also scare away my diners." It seems that the two of us are really natural rivals and can't be friends. ”

The Taoist chief didn't answer, just shook his head and sighed: "Seeing that I was abandoned by my apprentice, you didn't say anything to comfort and comfort me, just watch my jokes there, are you still happy to watch?" ”

The glutton recalled that Nian Xilan looked at Kangxi's affectionate gaze, shook her head and smiled: "That girl knew that the fate was not over at first sight, and her heart was full of reluctance and obsession. I'd rather choose a little apprentice who has a calm temperament and no desires, and just likes to cook......"

The Taoist shook his head and chuckled: "These words come out of your mouth, and they are really funny. But I have yet to meet a person who really has no desires and no desires! When you accept an apprentice, I must come to see what kind of person is this little apprentice who can match your eyes and have a temper with you? 166 Reading Network
