Chapter 364: Candidates

Kangxi sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion at will, patted the stool next to him, motioned for Ling Ruo to sit down, and then said approvingly: "I was very happy to see you taking care of the fourth child in the Yongwang Mansion that day. %&*"; ”

"This is what a concubine should do, how dare you be so praised by the emperor. The concubine believes that any sister in the house will do this. Ling Ruo said modestly.

Kangxi shook his head and said nothing, but his expression was very disapproving, if those people had done it a long time ago, why would they let Ling Ruo, a pregnant woman, do it. Knowing the Tao and doing it are two different things, but it is precisely because of this that he values Ling Ruo more.

"Then again, since you want me to marry, do you have a favorite candidate?" Kangxi took the Dongting Biluochun handed by the palace maid, and asked while plucking the leaves floating on the tea soup.

Ling Ruo also took the tea cup handed to him, but what was contained in it was a taste of goat's milk, and after taking a sip, he smiled and said: "The slave and maid really can't think of any good candidates for a while, so I'm afraid that the emperor will have to bother with this matter, and choose a wishful husband for Yilan." ”

"You girl, don't say that you have taken away my beauty, but you also want me to choose Ruyi Langjun for her, how can there be such a reason in the world." After Kangxi scolded with a smile, he still considered it for her, among the current science and technology scholars, the most outstanding and unmarried ones are none other than the champion and Tanhua, but unfortunately they have already been married, so they can only choose a suitable one among the second class.

Seeing that Kangxi was wrinkling his eyebrows over there, Li Dequan whispered: "Your Majesty, the slave remembers that during the last palace examination, you praised one of the Jinshi for doing a good job in the strategy, and said that this strategy alone is enough to rank first. ”

After he mentioned this, Kangxi suddenly had an impression and blurted out: "You mean Li Yaoguang, who is from the same clan as you?" ”

When Li Dequan heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "The emperor is joking with the slave again, Li Shuxiu is an official of the court of the old man Jinshi, and the slave is just a mere eunuch, how dare he compare with Li Shuxiu." i^”

When Kangxi heard this, he raised his foot and kicked him, and scolded with a smile: "Look at your useless appearance; What's wrong with the eunuch, you are the chief of the fifth grade, if you really want to talk about the official rank, then Li Yaoguang is not as high as you. But this person is really good, if it weren't for one of the words that violated the taboo, he would be the one to explore the flowers. ”

The person who can be praised by Kangxi like this is not far from coming, and before she can open her mouth to ask, Kangxi has already said: "That's it, just him, I will draft a decree for Li Dequan to pass it on later." ”

Ling Ruo was overjoyed, and hurriedly knocked on Long En, and when she went to this matter, her whole person suddenly felt a lot more relaxed; All the time, this road is the best for Yilan, as for Eniang's side, she will explain it herself.

While he was talking, a little eunuch looked at him from a distance, and Li Dequan immediately walked over, and when he came back after saying a few words, he had an extra royal blue brocade box in his hand.

"What's that?" Kangxi put down Bi Luochun, who had taken a few sips, and asked.

"When I returned to the emperor, it was the elixir sent by Lord Hao, which said that it was seen from an ancient book that it would help to prolong life after taking it, and Lord Hao would use it to honor the emperor after making it." Li Dequan replied respectfully, and at the same time opened the brocade box, only to see that twelve vermilion pills were neatly placed inside.

Kangxi smiled and said: "This Hao Yiwen, I estimate that he is an ancient book left by an alchemy Taoist, I have already told him that these pills are not believed, but he just doesn't believe it, even if he eats it himself, he brings it to me every time, I really don't know what to say about him." ”

Ling Ruo had also heard a little about this Lord Hao, and heard that he was quite fascinated by longevity, and he didn't know how much thought he had put into this matter, so he smiled and said, "Lord Hao is also a piece of heart, looking forward to the emperor's longevity." ”

"Longevity without borders?" Kangxi shook his head while laughing, "Haven't you become an old monster after living for so long?" I just said that the number of human lives is predestined by God, and how can it be won by manpower, if you really want to live a long life, it is better to have few worries, few desires, and few words; As long as there are no distracting thoughts, the mind can be clear and clear, the feelings are harmonious, the disease will not be infringed, and the body will naturally live a long and healthy life. As for his medicines...... Go to the treasury, I want to live a few more years. ”

"Huh!" Li Dequan smiled and agreed, over the years, Lord Hao has sent a lot of medicines, but the emperor has never taken it, but Lord Hao is tired of it, every time he finds an ancient remedy, he does not forget to honor the emperor.

"The emperor is so holy and benevolent, it is really a blessing of the Qing Dynasty." As a monarch, he combines life and death in the world to seize power, and has nothing to pursue in wealth and power, so the only thing he pursues is longevity; Looking at the past dynasties, there are many records of emperors believing in Taoism and serving Dan, and it is rare to be as clear as Kangxi.

"Shengming ......" Kangxi repeated these two words, his expression suddenly looked a little lonely, and there was no ** to continue, and after saying that he was tired, he left accompanied by Li Dequan.

Looking at Kangxi's straight but thin figure, Ling Ruo suddenly understood why Kangxi Shicai's loneliness was born, he was an heir, he had more than 20 sons, but the successor prince was not decided, and the prince who had been established for more than 40 years was abolished by him and imprisoned for life. At this moment, he may be confused, when he is a hundred years later, who should teach the huge empire to inherit, and whether he can continue the glory of the Qing Dynasty and let it go on steadily, without decay or fall.

Ling Ruo sympathized with this old man, but he was helpless, Yinzhen was undoubtedly an excellent candidate, but this was not something she could decide, and Kangxi was also in the process of deciding. Shaking his head and leaving the Qianqiu Pavilion, when passing by the Xianfu Palace, the footsteps involuntarily stopped, Shi Qiuci moved out of the Chengqian Palace after being promoted to the concubine two years ago, entered the Xianfu Palace, and took charge of the affairs of the first palace.

"Does the master think of Concubine Jing again?" When Shui Xiu saw Ling Ruo's appearance, how could he not know the reason.

Jing Concubine...... Every time she heard these two words, she felt extremely ironic, her best sister, who pushed her into hell with her own hands, took everything that belonged to her, and stood here in a dignified manner.

She knew everything, but she had to endure it, she had no ability to compete with her at the moment, so continue to endure it until the day when the opportunity came.

"Let's go." After Ling Ruo took a deep look, he turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting Concubine De to just come out of it and bump into it.

Seeing Ling Ruo, Concubine De was quite surprised, and after learning the purpose of her trip, she nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "You care about your sister, you are pregnant, and you specially came to ask the emperor for this favor." After a pause, he said: "After going back, see how your sister's illness is, if it is serious, let the imperial doctor go and see for her." ”

[Author's digression]: I wrote two thousand words during the day, but it was written in accordance with the idea of Yilan entering the house, how do I know that when I got home, I found that the U disk was not copied into this document, maybe it was God's will, God also hoped that I would conform to everyone's wishes, so I decided to change my thinking, not to write Yilan into the house, but I will still write a piece of Ling Ruo and Yilan's rivalry, I hope I can try to write a little more exciting2C foreshadowing a lot, now a sudden turn, it's really a little difficult, I want to write as much as possible not so abrupt, so today only two chapters, Thank you for your understanding
