Chapter 326
Shuyun stared blankly at the various colors of porcelain in front of her, large or small, of different heights and shapes. After a long time, he stretched out his hand, carefully rubbing their smooth and white porcelain fetuses and the exquisite ornaments on them with his white fingertips, and his eyes also bloomed with sparkling brilliance.
"Do you like it?" Kangxi stuck to Shuyun's back and asked in a whisper in Shuyun's ear.
"Hmm." Shuyun only nodded unconsciously in response. All my attention is focused on these porcelain, and my mind is constantly calculating, how much is so much of the value of so many exquisite porcelains if they are put in modern times? It's so unique and monumental. It is really more joyful than giving yourself those jewels and treasures worth tens of thousands.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi, such a macho feudal old man, still has such a romantic side. It was to celebrate the birthdays of the two together, and to prepare such ingenious gifts with great effort. Not to mention that this practice was put in ancient times, it is not common even in modern times!
Shuyun decided to preserve these porcelains well, not a single one of them can be damaged, and pass them on to future generations in the future.
Seeing that the gift he had carefully prepared had successfully touched Shuyun's heart, Kangxi felt very happy and had a sense of accomplishment. was particularly satisfied with Shuyun's reaction, laughed, and said softly: "It's good if Concubine Ai likes it." However, doesn't the concubine have anything to say to me? ”
Well? This sentence brought Shuyun back to her senses, who was immersed in thoughts, and sensitively realized that the guy behind her seemed to have a plan. Shuyun turned her head and looked at Kangxi suspiciously, wondering what the hell this person was doing.
Kangxi's mood at the moment is a little complicated. is disappointed that he couldn't receive Shuyun's gift, and he is excited to force Shuyun to agree to the various conditions that he has already listed in his heart. But it would be nice to have both. Kangxi thought greedily while staring at Shuyun with burning eyes.
Shuyun was a little inexplicable by him. Weakly probed, "What's wrong?" ”
"Gifts." Kangxi's short tip.
It turned out to be for this, Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and Shuyun immediately said, "Well, I like it very much, and I will keep it well." ”
Kangxi was choked, his face instantly showed a stiff state, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice. It took a long time to stare at Shuyun, gritted his teeth and said, "Doesn't Concubine Ai have any gifts to give me?" ”
The word "gift" bites so hard that it seems to be squeezed out of the gap between the teeth. At the same time, Kangxi was secretly ruthless in his heart~ This woman can take out a gift even if she can take it out for a while. Just let me find out what I'm not satisfied with, and see how I clean her up when I get there, and if I can't get it out, then don't blame me. ”
Finished! Misunderstanding! Why are you so stupid? I didn't understand what it meant. Seeing Kangxi gritting his teeth, Shuyun hurriedly ran to the bedroom, took out the gift that had been prepared from the drawer of the dresser, and quickly returned to Kangxi, took one of his hands and put the gift in his palm.
It is a small square box made of bamboo. It's not much bigger than a slap, it's ordinary, and there's not even a pattern on it.
Kangxi looked at the bamboo box in front of him, which could be said to be ugly, and his face turned completely black. I don't have any expectations for the gifts inside.
Seeing Kangxi's cold face, he just stared at the shell of the gift, and there was no sign of opening it. Shuyun knew that this guy was probably "judging people by their appearance" again. He hurriedly said, "Open it and take a look." I made it myself, and I've been making it for a long time. ”
Kangxi raised his eyes. Fox looked at Shuyun suspiciously. Seeing that Shuyun was expectantly signaling him to open the bamboo box. Kangxi is starting to be a little curious about the gifts inside.
With a flick of the flick, the thin lid opens. What appeared in front of Kangxi's eyes were two jade safety buckles. One red and one blue. All of them are so transparent and moist, glowing with streamers, without any flaws, and there are auspicious knots of the same color on them.
With Kangxi's insight, he can see at a glance the extraordinaryness of these two small things. With this kind of jade, even if he searched through the treasure house of the rich emperor, he couldn't find a single one. It's very similar to the cold and warm jade that I used to go to from Shuyun.
Kangxi stretched out his hand and took the two peace buckles into his palms and rubbed them slowly, and sure enough, as expected, the red one exuded a warm and warm atmosphere, while the blue one was just the opposite, reflecting a cool and refreshing feeling.
Shuyun looked at the bamboo box that was casually discarded by Kangxi. Looking at the two safety buckles that he couldn't put down, he couldn't help but be full of black lines. ~Why do you treat it so differently? I've done it all by myself, okay? ~
Kangxi was also very entangled at this time. I couldn't fault these two gifts at all, and he really liked them. In this way, how can he still trouble Shuyun? How can you put forward the conditions?
Shuyun saw Kangxi frowning for a while, smiling for a while, and the expression on his face kept changing, and she knew that this guy must not have thought about anything good. He immediately said, "How about it, like it?" These two. Saying that, Shuyun pointed to the peace buckle in Kangxi's hand: "The red one is made of warm jade, and the blue one is made of cold jade, and the quality is better than the two pieces you put in the Qianqing Palace. It's also good for your body. ”
Shuyun is telling the truth. For these two little things, Shuyun didn't work hard. From cutting to polishing, every bit is done by Shuyun herself. In order to make them, Shuyun not only learned to tie auspicious knots with Mama He, but also specially brought Xiaofan and Xiaoqi to learn carving from them. It's just that the time is too short, Shuyun's craftsmanship is not good, and the complex can't be done, and only two of the simplest safety buckles can be made after the last.
And the materials of these two Ping An buckles, one is taken from the best warm jade wrapped in warm chalcedony, and the other is from the cold jade obtained from Kunlun Mountain, which are extremely rare treasures.
Seeing that Kangxi's face finally showed a look of satisfaction. Shuyun hurriedly made persistent efforts and said coquettishly: "Just to prepare these two gifts for you, people's hands have been cut several times." If it weren't for the white jade cream, maybe there would be a scar. ”
Such a sentence can be regarded as dispelling all the crooked eyes of Kangxi after the most embarrassing. Before the words fell, Kangxi grabbed Shuyun's hand and looked at it nervously
A delicious dinner, a tranquil and warm atmosphere, a heart-warming gift, and a "thrilling" harmony at the end. It was a perfect and memorable birthday.
On the next day's Hallowe, Kangxi was in a good mood, and he was always smiling and accepting the congratulations and gifts of the princes and officials.
At this time, Xiaotangshan is the time when the flowers are in full bloom and the melons and fruits are fragrant. Everywhere is purple and red, colorful. A huge stage has already been set up in the flower gallery by the stream, and scenes of singing, dancing and opera are being staged in turn. The Queen Mother and Shuyun are leading a group of wives to sit below and admire them with relish.
On the other side, after the gift, the grand banquet also began, and Kangxi and the ministers toasted together.
At this moment when the whole world celebrates and all the people rejoice. The deputy chief eunuch of Yuqing Palace hurriedly came to Xiaotangshan, found the crown prince Yinyi, who was toasting to the ministers on behalf of his father at the banquet, and whispered a few words in his ear with an anxious face.
Yin's face immediately changed, he closed his eyes as if he was extremely sad, paused for a while before returning to normal, whispered a few words to the deputy manager, and waved him to retreat.
Almost at the same time, Li Dequan also made the same move towards Kangxi. However, Kangxi was much calmer, only stunned for a moment, and then talked and laughed with his subordinates casually.
It's just that these are all clear-eyed people in the field today, and at a glance, you can see that something must be wrong. One by one, their attitudes are inevitably two points more restrained than just now. Although Fuquan, Big Brother and Dragon Egg were maintained, the atmosphere was still a little cold.
The Dragon Egg brothers saw all this in their eyes, exchanged glances with each other, and still quietly gathered around Kangxi, or greeted the ministers according to Kangxi's instructions.
In addition, the dragon egg also secretly arranged for Xiaoshu to take advantage of the time to relieve himself, and find an opportunity to report what happened just now to Shuyun in general.
Shuyun listened to Xiaoshu's description and was also surprised. Recently, there has been calm inside and outside the palace, why did it go wrong on the day of Halloween? Although I don't know what the specific thing is, I don't think it's going to be a good thing. Shuyun thought about it, and then instructed Xiaoshu to tell him to tell his brothers what to do, just hold it steady, no need to speculate, and don't inquire.
And Shuyun herself did the same.
Until nearly ten midnight, when everyone had left. Kangxi completely broke out. shouted at Li Dequan: "Check, check carefully for me to see who is doing the ghost." ”
Li Dequan was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and he bowed down to respond, and he was going down to execute.
Kangxi stopped him again and ordered: "This matter is not allowed to spread for the time being, and the minions below are told to keep their mouths shut, especially not to let your noble master know the truth." ”
"Cover, the slave must be optimistic about the following, please rest assured." Li Dequan, who was already covered in cold sweat, hurriedly said.
"Alright, you can go down and do it." Kangxi waved his hand and sent the person away. Alone in the temple, he slowly stomped his steps.
And Shuyun saw that Kangxi hadn't come back so late, so she knew that what happened today must be a big deal. Although she was also curious, Shuyun held back. When you should know the Tao, you will always know the Tao, and it is not good for you to ask around. Don't be annoying when you're honest. We must know how to do things for others. Shuyun has always had a clear understanding of this. (To be continued......)
