Chapter 273: Spring Outing

Soon arrived at the destination, Qin Kexin got out of the carriage, and a fresh fragrance of spring came to his face, which made people feel refreshed.

"Concubine Xi is really good at picking places." Qin Kexin looked at it, it was a mountain with a waterfall, and this kind of place was most suitable for spring outing, so he couldn't help but praise Xi Guifei.

"The queen has a good reputation, but the concubine's hometown is this kind of scenery, and the concubine found such a place, and the queen is satisfied, but it is not easy to find such a place in the Central Plains." Concubine Xi smiled and said, mentioning her hometown, her eyes were shining with hope.

"This palace has long heard that the hometown of the Western Guifei is in Xiqi, is it all this beautiful scenery? Concubine Naxi was really lucky to grow up in such a picturesque place. Qin Kexin likes this kind of natural and beautiful place, so after listening to what Concubine Xi said, she was sincerely envious.

But when Concubine Xi heard Qin Kexin's envy, she didn't seem to be very happy, and sighed softly: "The concubine's hometown is indeed very beautiful, and the scenery of Xiqi is like spring all year round, but what's the use?" The concubine could never go back. ”

Hearing this, Qin Kexin knew that Concubine Xi was homesick, and now that she was in this deep palace, she couldn't return to her hometown, and she was indeed a little desperate for a freedom-loving person like Concubine Xi.

Qin Kexin couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Concubine Xi, "Why did Concubine Xi leave her hometown and come to the Central Plains to choose a concubine?" ”

This question is what Qin Kexin has always wanted to ask, after all, an exotic woman like Xi Guifei, in addition to being friendly, rarely appears in the harem, but it is obvious that Xi Guifei is not a princess who is friendly with her, Qin Kexin just learned from the conversation that Xi Guifei definitely did not voluntarily enter the palace as a concubine, so this has become a mystery in Qin Kexin's heart.

Hearing this, Concubine Xi sighed softly again, "If it weren't for the last resort, who would give up their freedom to enter the deep palace?" ”

As soon as Concubine Xi's words fell, Ning Er behind her also sighed silently.

Qin Kexin's capital Xi Guifei was about to talk about her life experience, so she listened attentively.

Seeing Qin Kexin looking at herself seriously, Concubine Xi continued: "The concubine was originally a peasant girl of Western Qi, and she was chosen by the King of Western Qi because of her beauty, in order to please the Emperor of the Central Plains, that is, Your Majesty.

decided to send the concubine to the draft, and the concubine resisted to the death, but who knew that the king of Xiqi actually took the concubine's parents and concubines, if the concubine didn't listen to him to come to the Central Plains, he would kill the concubine's parents, and the concubine had no choice but to leave her hometown and come here. ”

Qin Kexin listened to Concubine Xi's life experience, and sighed, "This King of Xiqi is really despicable." ”

"It's really despicable, he is the only one who has defiled the concubine's hometown in the memory of the concubine." When Concubine Xi said this, her face was full of regret.

Qin Kexin didn't know what to say, what was thinking.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi continued: "After the concubine accepted her fate and came to the Central Plains, I thought that maybe the Emperor of the Central Plains was a gentle and affectionate person, and it was not bad for the concubine to love him, but the concubine was dumbfounded when she really entered the palace.

Your Majesty is indeed affectionate and gentle, but this affection and gentleness are all for the queen mother alone, and there is nothing to do with the concubines at all! The queen is really lucky. When Concubine Xi said this, she pretended to be relaxed.

But Qin Kexin still caught the helplessness in her tone.

Leaving his hometown and marrying a man who doesn't love him, anyone will be miserable, and now Xi Guifei can easily say this, I don't know how much pain she has silently digested.

Thinking of this, Qin Kexin's compassion was very strong, and finally boldly said what she was thinking, "Does Concubine Xi want to go back to Xiqi?" This palace can consult with His Majesty to send you back. ”

Qin Kexin said this after thinking about it, it was not a moment of brain fever, thinking that Xiao Shujun would definitely support his idea, and it would not hurt to send a concubine back with an excuse.

There is another point, Qin Kexin wanted to do this when she saw that Xi Guifei fell in love with her, she didn't want a special woman like Xi Guifei to regret being in the palace.

Concubine Xi obviously didn't expect Qin Kexin to say this, her expression was obviously stunned, but then she was replaced by loss: "Queen Mother, don't hide it, the parents in the concubine's hometown have passed away, although the concubine wants to go back, but it is already a matter of people, and going back will only add trouble!"

It is better to spend the rest of your life in the pure land of the Central Plains, although there is no beautiful scenery of your hometown here, and there is no love of your husband, but there is a comfortable life here, and a confidant like the queen's mother! ”

Qin Kexin didn't expect that Concubine Xi had already regarded herself as the extreme, and she was naturally happy to see her say this.

"If Concubine Xi can think like this, the palace will feel at ease, the palace does have a lot of unsatisfactory places, but as Concubine Xi said, there is a rich life and a comfortable atmosphere, and Concubine Xi can live here with peace of mind." Qin Kexin concluded.

"Well, the queen is right, let's not mention these sad things, let's come to the spring outing today, and the ones who want to be happy are the ones who are happy." After talking with Qin Kexin, after Xi Guifei confided all the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, her mood was obviously relaxed, and her state was no longer tense.

Qin Kexin also felt the obvious change in Xi Guifei, and was also happy for her, and at the same time, she was also very happy to be the object of Xi Guifei's confiding.

"Okay, let's start the spring outing officially, let us forget those troubles." Qin Kexin also proposed.

Concubine Xi hurriedly nodded happily.

"Ning'er, quickly take everything down." Xi Guifei ordered.

When Ning Er heard this, she walked to the other carriage they were riding in, and when she opened the door, Qin Kexin found that it was filled with food for the spring outing, so she also motioned for Yu'er to come forward to help.

After some tossing and turning by the subordinates, all the food was placed on the big blanket prepared by the West Guifei.

"Queen Mother, sit down, the people in the concubine's hometown all sit and eat like this." Concubine Xi motioned for Qin Kexin to sit on the blanket and sit on the ground.

Qin Kexin was a little restrained at first, but Concubine Xi first demonstrated how to sit down, and Qin Kexin sat down like Concubine Xi.

As soon as Qin Kexin sat down, he realized that it was a supreme pleasure to sit so freely and relax among the mountains and rivers to enjoy food and wine.

"Come along, too." Qin Kexin invited Yu'er and Ning'er, who were standing aside and waiting.

Yu'er and Ning'er naturally didn't dare to go beyond the rules, but under Qin Kexin's persuasion, they still compromised, thinking that the queen had personally invited, what else did they have to fear?

It's okay if the two of them don't sit down, as soon as they sit down, they eat like wild horses on the loose, and they don't forget to give a thumbs up to the two ladies while eating, and praise how delicious the food prepared by Concubine Xi is.

Qin Kexin saw that the two of them were eating happily, but he only felt cute and laughed on the side.

"It turns out that the queen mother is also so good to her subordinates, and the concubine is also like this to Ning'er on weekdays." Concubine Xi observed Qin Kexin's conniving expression.

"When the palace is opened, Concubine Xi is indeed very good to Ning'er on weekdays." Qin Kexin motioned to Concubine Xi to look at Ning Er, who was eating wildly regardless of her image, otherwise Ning Er would not have eaten more crazy than Yu'er at this time.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi knew what Qin Kexin meant, and then raised her glass with a smile and suggested: "Since the queen mother and the concubine have so many similarities, why don't we have a drink, I don't know if the concubine is lucky enough to become the queen's confidant." ”

When Qin Kexin heard this, he also raised his wine glass and touched it with Xi Guifei's wine glass: "Naturally, we will be confidants in the future!" Qin Kexin felt that she and Concubine Xi could chat inexplicably, so she was naturally willing to become a confidant with her.

Concubine Xi was very happy to see Qin Kexin respond like this.

So the two of them drank each other.

After a few glasses of wine, Xi Guifei was already drunk.

Driven by drunkenness, Concubine Xi actually sang the song of their hometown, which was tactful and melodious, very smart, and hit people's hearts.

"I only knew that the dance of the West Guifei was as beautiful as a fairy, but I didn't know that there was such a melodious singing." Qin Kexin was a little envious, because she herself could be described as incomplete.

Xi Guifei chuckled when she heard this, "These are just necessary skills for people in our hometown. ”

Qin Kexin nodded, I heard that everyone in a foreign land can sing and dance, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation.

"Since the queen mother mentioned dancing, then the concubine will dance for the queen mother as the end of today's spring outing." The West Guifei proposed.

Being able to see the beautiful dance of Concubine Xi again, Qin Kexin was naturally happy, so she nodded and said, "Then there is Concubine Laoxi." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xi straightened up and danced directly.

This dance is not as enthusiastic as the West Guifei dancing at the banquet, nor is it as resentful as the dance in the Imperial Garden that day, but it is very in line with the feeling of spring outing, and the dance is very relaxed.

The afterglow of the spring sunset sprinkled on the hair and corners of the western concubine's clothes, bringing out several beautiful arcs, and the resolute dancing posture provoked people's hearts, and Qin Kexin was fascinated again.

After a cup of tea, Concubine Xi finished dancing and panted and said, "Queen Mother, it's getting late, we should go back!" ”

Qin Kexin came back to her senses from the beautiful dance of Concubine Xi just now, "Okay, it's time to go back." ”

So a few people stood up, and the subordinates took back the things they brought, and then got into the carriage when they came up, waved goodbye to the place of the spring outing, and left.

Back in the palace, it was already completely dark, and Qin Kexin and Xi Guifei simply said goodbye and returned to the soft fragrance garden.

As Qin Kexin expected, Xiao Shujun was waiting for him to come back in the Soft Fragrance Garden.

After not seeing Xiao Shujun for a day, Qin Kexin actually missed it a little, so when she saw Xiao Shujun, she ran over and got into Xiao Shujun's arms.

Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin lying in his arms like a kitten, he was very happy, rubbed her head and asked; "How was it with Concubine Xi today?"

Qin Kexin just wanted to share today's experience with Xiao Shujun, and Xiao Shujun just asked, so Qin Kexin found a comfortable posture in Xiao Shujun's arms and shared with Xiao Shujun the beautiful scenery he saw today, the food he ate and the wine he drank.
