Chapter 7 Mutual Affection

In the next few days, Zhu Ji did not see Babeile again, and sometimes when he returned to the house at night and chatted with Aunt Hua Shu, he could also know that he still asked Concubine Liang to say goodbye every day, but he never "touched" again.

In the afternoon, there is no summons from the concubine, and usually the bamboo basket does not have to wait in the study. A few days ago, I got up after my lunch break and was rummaging through the house for fabrics, planning to try to make one or two sets of short-sleeved skirts for summer before summer came. It's only been more than a month in ancient times, and I don't know how hot this ancient summer will be, and besides, even if the temperature is not as high as in modern times, it is not cool to wear long sleeves and pants in summer.

I vaguely heard the singing of the waiters outside, how to listen to it, it seemed that the emperor was coming. Zhu Zhen carefully opened the window and looked out through the gap, but he couldn't see the emperor's shadow, but looking at the atmosphere of this battle, I am afraid that the emperor is undoubted. The bamboo basket closed the window carefully.

If you talk about Kangxi's attitude towards the harem, Zhu Zhen is not enthusiastic, and he can't see anything from the history books before, but some critics and authors have said that it is about rain and dew. The emperor's affairs, although there are a lot of discussions in the harem in private, but in the end, it is a taboo in the palace, and a newcomer like Zhu Zhen who is not keen on gossip has no way of knowing. But after coming here for more than a month, Zhu Zhen has never seen Kangxi coming.

I found the material, off-white cotton and linen cloth. As for the tricks, although Ruoqing's female red is good, but in the end it is not in one place, Zhu Zhen thinks that it is not good to find her, or beg Aunt Huashu at night. After receiving the needlework and fabric, he looked at the time, thinking that the emperor should stay for dinner tonight, and maybe, he would not leave.

That day, he guessed wildly, maybe he had wronged Kangxi, he still thought about this good concubine who was far away in Chuxiu Palace, I don't know why, Zhu Zhen felt that his heart softened. Suddenly, I heard a noise outside, and there was the sound of the inner attendant singing, and the palace people saluting, this is? Could it be that Kangxi left without even having dinner with Concubine Liang? Zhu Zong's face was incredible. When the courtyard calmed down, before she could go out, Aunt Hua Shu had already entered the house, and looking at her face, Zhu Zhen guessed nine points.

"What's the matter, auntie, the emperor didn't leave a meal?" Zhu Shu poured a cup of tea for Hua Shu and handed it over.

"Alas," Hua Shu took the tea, "I thought that the emperor would stay this time, but on the first day of the new year, he ran on both sides of the imperial dining room and the small kitchen, and he went straight for most of the day, who would have thought that the emperor suddenly drove back to the palace." After that, Hua Shu sighed again.

"Auntie, don't worry, I think there is something going on with the emperor, so I can't dine with the master, look at the emperor who treats our master so seriously, I think it's also good for the master." Although he said so, Zhu Zhen knew in his heart that it was just rhetoric, who could bluff with this little face? It's just a meal, it's the most common thing between husband and wife, but when it comes to heaven, it's so difficult, it's good to say, it's a big rule, to put it bluntly, it's just a woman's pathetic.

"Zhuzhen, although the master doesn't say it, he must be uncomfortable in his heart, I'm afraid that I will go to the back and sit for a while, and you can be careful to serve for a while." Zhu Zhen was still wondering just now, it stands to reason that Hua Shu should be by Concubine Liang's side to comfort and serve, why did he go back to the house, it turned out that he came to greet him for this matter.

"Auntie, don't worry, Zhu Zhen knows."

Hua Shu said a few more words and left the house. Bamboo basket was in the house, only wearing underwear, at this time seeing that there was nothing in the house, and it saved a while to be in a hurry, so he planned to change his clothes and go directly. The bamboo basket took out a piece of water green palace clothes and put it on himself, and re-grated his hair. I was too heavy before, so I took off all the headdresses I could, so it was of course disrespectful to go out like this.

As soon as he thought of putting these headdresses back one by one, Zhu Zhen pouted. Before the bamboo basket finished the pouting action, his eyes were already bright. Yesterday, I saw the little palace maid waiting for the flowers and plants for the concubine holding a branch of peony, and the bamboo basket looked good, so she was about to come, and she didn't want it to be a silk flower. It turned out that this little girl saw the peony in the imperial garden blooming, and loved it very much, but she didn't dare to pick it, so she looked for it by herself and made a few silk flowers. At that time, I just played with it for a while, and then I threw it on the dresser and didn't pay attention to it, so I could deal with it at this time.

Looking in the mirror to put the flower hairpin in place, the bamboo basket went to the Yilan Pavilion. Zhu Zhen planned in his heart that if Concubine Liang came tonight, he would definitely talk less, do more, and try to narrow his sense of existence in front of Concubine Liang. Kangxi didn't stay to eat, Concubine Liang must be in a bad mood, although Concubine Liang is usually very gentle, but after all, she is a woman in the harem, who knows if she will take half her life when she gets angry.

It didn't take long for Concubine Liang to come, but she was accompanied by Chunliu, although the two were in the same palace, they didn't see each other often, so they only exchanged glances in a hurry, and Zhu Ji Fushen asked Concubine Liang to say goodbye. Concubine Liang saw that the bamboo basket was there, but she was stunned for a few seconds, and then recovered immediately, with a slight smile on her face: "I said that there was nothing wrong, so I didn't call you to come here to set up rules, but coincidentally, you girl fell here!" ”

Zhu Zhen smiled slightly and said, "The slave has nothing to do, thinking that instead of sitting in the room, it is better to come to the study to find a book to pass the time." "Zhu Zhen is not stupid enough to tell the truth, where can Concubine Liang's face still hang.

Hearing this, Concubine Liang nodded, turned around and said to Chunliu, "You go down first." ”

Chunliu retreated, only Concubine Liang and Zhu Zheng were left in the house, Concubine Liang didn't speak, and Zhu Zhen naturally didn't dare to say anything, for a while, the house was quiet and a little scary.

"It's boring, let's sing a song from the bamboo basket, there's a zither over there." In the end, it was Concubine Liang who broke the silence first, but it made Zhu Ji even more uncomfortable than before. Liang Feiyu pointed to the distance, and the bamboo basket followed the direction and looked. On duty in this study every day, what is there, the bamboo basket naturally knows. In the more than a month, I have never seen Concubine Liang play the kite, but I vaguely heard that she played the pipa a few times.

Zhu Zheng played the drum in his heart, and no one should know about the fact that he could play the kite, I am afraid that Concubine Liang felt that Zakuta Zhu Zheng was an official lady, and she must have dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhu Zhen decided to take a gamble, and Fu said: "The master forgives the sin, the slave and the maid are sparse, and the zither is not very good." "Don't dare to say death, in case it is so coincidental, someone knows the bamboo basket, and someone knows the past of the bamboo basket.

When Concubine Liang heard this, she didn't say anything more, Xu is temperament, Xu was not interested, and only said lightly: "Go down." ”

"Yes." The bamboo basket saluted and quietly withdrew. Outside the house, Chunliu was still standing quietly, seeing the bamboo basket retreating, he did not speak, but obediently blessed the bamboo basket.

Zhu Zhen thought about it, or told Chunliu a few words, and when he saw Chunliu say yes, Fang Zi went back to the house.

Chunliu is a half-old child in the end, and he was a little napping when he was a little sleepy, and suddenly heard a crisp sound in the room, and he was so shocked that he didn't feel sleepy anymore. I wanted to go into the house to take a look at Concubine Liang, but I hesitated for a moment, but I didn't enter the house in the end, but only called timidly outside the house: "Master." ”

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the house. Just when Chunliu was hesitating to call Concubine Liang again, Concubine Liang's faint voice with tiredness sounded from the room: "Come in." ”

Chunliu entered in response, and saw Concubine Liang with her eyes crooked on the soft couch, one arm hanging down the edge of the bed, and her whole body was as soft as a puddle of mud. After taking a few steps closer, Chunliu found that Concubine Liang was open, but she just lowered her eyes and looked at one place, so that she could look out of place. Chunliu followed that gaze, and a piece of ink-colored round jade flowed in the candlelight. After a pause, Chunliu half-squatted down to pick up the plain jade pendant, only to catch a glimpse of a plum carved on the jade, elegant and beautiful, and what words were engraved on the edge of the round jade, but it was a pity that he was illiterate. picked up the jade pendant, Chunliu Gong handed the jade pendant to Concubine Liang, but Concubine Liang did not move.

After a long time, Chunliu felt that her arm began to sour slightly, and Concubine Liang seemed to be surprised, took the jade pendant, carefully studied it for a while, and slowly pointed the jade towards the candlestick, half-squinting her eyes, and in a trance, there seemed to be a young man, holding her hand with one hand, and holding a piece of black jade with the other hand, facing the scorching Gao Yang, and said to her with a smile: "Qinmei, this jade is me and you!" ”
