Chapter 239 Two years
The whole night passed, until the sky was white, but there was still no movement at the door. Kangxi was completely disappointed, and a sense of powerlessness instantly swept through his body. Kangxi closed his eyes tiredly and leaned back on the imperial chair. After a while, he waved it so casually and motioned for Wang to retreat.
Looking at Kangxi's seemingly impatient movements, Wang's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of tears of grievance. Wang left, coming with a lot of hope, but returning with endless disappointment.
Kangxi was the only one left in the huge room, sitting there motionless like a statue with his eyes closed, and the room was as silent as death. The early morning sunlight spilled into the room, reflecting on Kangxi's thin body, which looked so cold. The morning light should have been a peaceful and beautiful picture, but now it reflects a smell of loneliness and sadness.
The emperor's thoughts cannot be shared with others, and the person who wants to share them with him does not seem to care about himself. So what's left but loneliness? Such questions kept appearing in Kangxi's mind.
No one knows what happened in Kangxi's bedroom that night. Only Li Dequan, who had been guarding outside the room all night, guessed probably. After all, Wang's tear-stained distraction and stumbling steps can't deceive people. But as a minion, all he can do is keep his mouth shut about his master's affairs.
As a result, the queen of the Zhixian Kingdom is beautiful, charming and moving. Let the emperor not hesitate to violate the ancestral system to admit him into the palace, and the news that he was pampered all night that night was confirmed.
Some people hate, some people complain, some people laugh. Someone cried
Either way, the tour continued. But now the atmosphere of the whole team has become a little depressing. No one knows what Lu Dao is for, but Kangxi, who has just won a beauty, has been gloomy. The originally mild attitude has become unpretentious. The local officials below also suffered as a result, and many corrupt officials were dealt with severely. Even those officials with mediocre talents and inaction were either reprimanded or deposed by Kangxi. For a time, Jiangnan officialdom was in turmoil.
Of course, there are also some good officials who have been rewarded and promoted by Kangxi, such as Zhang Pengxi, the prefect of Yanzhou, and Guo Xiu, the prefect of Wujiang, Jiangsu.
When he toured south to Jiangning (Nanjing), Kangxi worshiped the Ming Tomb. Another military parade was held. It is intended to emphasize the world of people and horses, and never forget martial arts.
Kangxi also personally went down to show his riding and archery kung fu, and he opened the bow left and right, with nine shots out of ten, and his skills were very good. It attracted bursts of cheers from the soldiers of the Eight Banners.
"What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers" in the military parade, when the song sounded. Kangxi, who was sitting on the stage, couldn't help but recall the warm and sweet scenes between him and Shuyun. Subconsciously glanced to the side.
It's just that this glance made Kangxi's heart become mixed. How many days has it been since I went to Shuyun? Kangxi can't remember clearly. Or maybe I don't want to remember it. I've always consciously avoided Shuyun recently, and even if I met her, I tried my best not to pay attention to her. I thought that Shuyun, who was left out in the cold, would become depressed and haggard. But unexpectedly, she was still radiant, and she smiled so brightly and brightly in her singing. And this smile not only burned Kangxi's eyes, but also deeply stabbed Kangxi's heart like a needle.
Until the end of the southern tour and when he returned to the Forbidden City, this pain still lingered. It even became Kangxi's nightmare, making people unable to eat and sleep.
"Your Majesty, Shuxian and Concubine Niangniang ask to see you."
Li Dequan's voice interrupted Kangxi's thoughts. Wake him up from his state of distraction. Kangxi subconsciously rubbed his chest, then his arm stiffened, and he put it down dejectedly. "Li Dequan. What did you just say? Kangxi said weakly, with an unconcealable tiredness in his face and tone.
"Your Majesty. Shuxian Guifei Niangniang asked to see. Li Dequan repeated it softly again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Kangxi's heart beat twice with a "pounding". And the man froze there. After a while, Kangxi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said with some difficulty: "Just say that I don't see me." ”
"Huh" Li Dequan hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice.
"Wait" Kangxi stopped Li Dequan, who was walking out, and said, "You told her that I am busy with government affairs, ask her what is the matter?" ”
"Whoa"
~ Your Majesty, who are you competing with? How can there be a knot between you and your own woman? You can see what you want, say what you want, why bother with yourself here? ~ Li Dequan secretly shook his head in his heart and walked out quickly.
Shuyun left, and returned to Xiangxuehai early the next morning.
Kangxi's expectations were shattered again, and he sat nervously in the imperial study for a long time, but what he was waiting for was Shuyun's farewell.
Kangxi didn't keep or dissuade him, so he let Shuyun walk out of the Forbidden City. Plus the recent attitude towards Shuyun. For a while, rumors of Shuyun's fall from grace spread inside and outside the palace.
Some people are happy about this, and some people are disappointed.
But what everyone didn't expect was that less than a month after Shuyun left, Kangxi took the buns to Xiangxuehai and stayed for two days as before. Since then, it has been like this every month. The rumors are self-defeating.
However, what everyone doesn't know is that even if Kangxi comes to Xiangxuehai, he will not talk to Shuyun, even if he sleeps in the same bed at night, he will turn his back and try to stay away from Shuyun, artificially creating a big gap between the two. It won't be like before, even if you're asleep, you'll be intimate, hugging Shuyun tightly.
Shuyun doesn't know what happened between herself and Kangxi? For what happened to the situation today. Shuyun also doesn't remember how long it had been since she had spoken to Kangxi, as if he hadn't come to him since he got angry with Kangxi because of those poems, and he hadn't spoken to him again. Shuyun doesn't think that just such a small thing will cause today's situation, or whether there is really a seven-year itch, or whether it is a release that has accumulated to a certain extent after a long period of problems.
Shuyun has never been a person with high emotional intelligence. However, Shuyun always believes that if there is a problem between the two, then the responsibility must be two-sided. At least when he treats Kangxi, no matter how intimate and harmonious he is on the surface. In fact, there is still a kind of estrangement and distance in my heart. There are reasons for status, but it is more caused by ideological differences.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you know the reason for the road or not, it's normal for life to have ups and downs, and Shuyun feels that keeping a little distance from Kangxi is not necessarily a bad thing.
"If you want to come, you can come, if you want to go, I will wait with a smile, if you don't want to talk, then don't say it. If you don't want to get near me, then I'll try not to show up in front of you. This is Shuyun's attitude towards Kangxi now.
In this way, two years passed slowly. In the past two years, it has been like this between Kangxi and Shuyun, and there is no sign of easing at all.
Shuyun is also used to this, and enjoys the current way of getting along. Without Kangxi's restraints, the children all entered the study again, leaving only the more well-behaved Yuanyuan and bubbles. This frees up Sookyun to spend more time doing what she loves.
For example, if you teach the children, you can finally stop fishing for three days and dry your nets for two days. I can have the opportunity to raise this group of children well.
Another example is translating books collected from the modern and Western worlds and organizing them into volumes. This work has been done since the early years. It's just that at that time, I was giving birth to children and had to deal with Kangxi, so I did it very slowly. Because there was no time, the western part was handed over to Tom for a time. Now I can finally concentrate on this.
In addition, if she has more time to spare, Shuyun will also study and study medicinal medicine, raise flowers, plant fields, teach Yuanyuan and bubbles, and so on. Shuyun would occasionally go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and the old lady would sometimes come to Zhuangzi for leisure. In short, life is very fulfilling.
And this kind of life also makes Shuyun feel relaxed and satisfied.
In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi (1686 AD), the ice and snow melted and the spring blossomed. Xiangxuehai has ushered in another season of flowers.
The farmers sang on the ridges and sowed seeds happily. Shuyun also brought Yuanyuan and bubbles, and the children from the school worked around a test field.
"Eniang, Eniang"
From far and near, there was a childish shout.
Shuyun raised her body and looked into the distance with a smile.
The dragon egg took the lead and rushed towards him with the buns. After a while, a chubby little body rushed into Shuyun's arms. Immediately after, two, three, four.
"Eniang, do you miss your son?"
"E-niang, my son really wants E-niang's fried chicken legs"
The children gathered around Shuyun, chattering and laughing.
Shuyun wiped her hands, hugged the children, looked at them one by one, and kissed them again. Only then did he smile and nodded: "Well, yes, they are all quite energetic, and they are not thin, it seems that they have had a good time in the palace this month." ”
"That is, the masters often praise their sons." The dragon egg said proudly.
"No, the day before yesterday, Master Gu criticized Xiaohua." Yuanyuan couldn't help but jump out and hit his brother.
"Oh? What is Master Gu criticizing you for, Xiaohua? Shuyun looked at Xiaohua and asked, but her tone was very gentle, after all, it is rare for a child to come back once, and before she understands the situation, Shuyun will not rashly teach the child a lesson.
Xiaohua lowered her little head, and said to Ai Ai: "My son just sold a jade pendant that he didn't like to the fifth brother at a high price. ”
