Chapter 36: Overboard

After coming to the Xiangshan Palace, Shu Wan was arranged to live in Taipu Xuan on the East Road, Taipu Xuan was originally a palace for book collection, and later changed to a residence.

It was only later that Shu Wan learned that Tai Puxuan was specially chosen by Kangxi for her, and I have to say that Kangxi's thoughtful approach really moved Shu Wan.

Kangxi and others arrived three days before the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival, and when they came, the palace was already full of lights, although the Queen Mother had already said that there was no need to be too extravagant, but after all, it was the Queen Mother of a country, and naturally it could not be arranged too shabby.

Shu Wan has already made up her mind to have a good time in the Xiangshan Palace these days, and she can't appreciate the grandeur of the real royal garden in modern times, since she has this opportunity now, of course she must take advantage of it.

Xiangshan Palace was established in accordance with the direction of the mountain, which has a large number of ancient trees and vines, as well as a variety of rare flowers and trees, rockeries are lined up, surrounded by clear streams, so that Shu Wan has to sigh again about the whimsy of the ancient craftsmen, but it is a little regrettable that it is now winter, and many flowers have withered, so you can't enjoy the scenery of a hundred flowers blooming.

"Concubine Yu is really in a good mood, she still came out to enjoy the scenery on this cold day."

Today, Shu Wan is enjoying the carp in the Moon River, because the average temperature in the mountains is one or two degrees higher than outside, so now the Moon River has not been completely frozen, Shu Wan lures with food on the shore, and the carp rush out to eat.

Hearing the strange voice of yin and yang coming from behind him, Shu Wan didn't need to look back to know whose voice it was.

Shu Wan turned around and bowed unhurriedly to Concubine Rou, "The concubine just heard that the koi fish here in Yuehe are good-looking, so she came to open her eyes, but you are Concubine Rou, you should pay extra attention to being pregnant now." ”

Today's Rou Concubine is not even lazy to pretend, where is the usual gentleness on her face, and she looked at Shu Wan with a pair of slanted apricot eyes with some disgust, "This palace naturally knows these things, and you don't need to worry about it." ”

"Mother knows best,"

Shu Wan bowed slightly to Concubine Rou, "The concubine is wearing less today, so I won't accompany the concubine to chat outside, but if the concubine is willing, she can go to the concubine's Taipu Xuan, and the concubine should sweep the couch to welcome her." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Rou Concubine's reaction, and took people away.

Looking at the back of Shu Wan leaving, Concubine Rou trembled with anger.

"Mother, are you alright?" The begonia on the side hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay," Concubine Rou took a few deep breaths, but she didn't expect to see her for many days, that Ma Jia Shuwan, who used to bow down in front of her, now dared to talk back to her, but then she seemed to think of something again, her clenched hands slowly let go, and the hideous expression on her face eased a lot, "Go back to the palace." ”

Haitang was already surprised by Concubine Rou's reaction, although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't dare to ask more, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”

On the way back, Zhiqiu asked uneasily: "Niangniang, what do you mean by what you mean by Concubine Rou Niangniang today?" ”

Shu Wan was also a little confused about Concubine Rou's actions today, but she knew that it was definitely not a good thing, "This palace doesn't know either, you and Zhixing on the little brother's side must be watched." ”

Now what she is most worried about is that Concubine Rou will do something to the little bun, and she doesn't know what Concubine Rou foresaw, which makes Shu Wan faintly uneasy.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the queen mother was surrounded by everyone to attend in full costume, and to Shu Wan's surprise, Yi Concubine actually hugged the queen mother affectionately, and even the concubine was squeezed aside, it seems that Yi Concubine's generous and hearty temperament is really very popular with the queen mother.

Although Concubine Tong smiled on her face, she had cursed Concubine Yi thousands of times in her heart, since Concubine Yi came to the Xiangshan Palace, she had been trying her best to please the Queen Mother, and for some reason, now the Queen Mother is closer to Concubine Yi than to her, which makes Concubine Tong, who has always thought highly of herself, swallow this breath.

At the birthday banquet, Concubine Tong was the first to offer a birthday gift, which turned out to be a huge crimson coral tree, and the people around were all amazed when they saw it, and even Kangxi, who was used to seeing rare treasures, also praised a few words.

Concubine Tong couldn't help but feel proud when she enjoyed the flattery of the people around her, she knew that the queen mother believed in Buddhism, and coral was one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and she also grasped this point to find a way to get this coral tree.

I thought that the Queen Mother would be very satisfied with this gift, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to just nod slightly and let people accept the congratulatory gift after seeing it.

Seeing the queen mother's reaction, everyone couldn't help but feel worried, after all, the queen mother couldn't even look down on such expensive gifts, so could she still like the gifts they gave?

Then the queen mother didn't say good or bad about the gifts offered by several concubines, she just nodded and accepted it, but the original version of the diamond sutra prepared by the concubine made the queen mother smile rarely.

When it was Shu Wan's turn, Shu Wan handed the painting to the grandmother beside the Queen Mother, who took out the painting and slowly opened it in front of the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was stunned there after only one glance, Shu Wan painted a picture of grassland sheep herding this time, the emerald green grass waves are undulating with the wind, and the white sheep are leisurely eating the grass, like pearls scattered on the grassland, above which is a large blue sky, and an eagle is soaring in the sky in the distance.

"This gift of the jade concubine is very much appreciated by the mourning family, reward."

The Queen Mother asked her to put away the scroll and carefully put it back in the box.

Everyone knows that she believes in Buddhism but does not know why she believes in Buddhism, she came to the Forbidden City from the grassland at the age of thirteen to marry the first emperor, since then life is like being covered with a layer of haze, the first emperor has never given her a trace of tenderness, believing in Buddhism is just her helpless move to pass the time.

Today's Shu Wan's painting reminds the Queen Mother of the days in the grassland, how carefree and innocent and happy she is, she will always ride a horse and gallop on the grassland, and rest on the grass when she is tired, surrounded by sheep and eagles on her head.

It's just a pity that she can't go back to those days, and now she can only recall the prairie she has been worried about in her dreams.

Since the Empress Dowager has rewarded Shu Wan, then Kangxi and the Empress Dowager will naturally not lag behind, and they will reward them with a large wave of treasure.

All the concubines were jealous, and they stretched their necks to see what was painted in the painting, why could the jade concubines get so many rewards with a broken painting, and the gifts they had carefully prepared for so long were nothing?

One of the most annoying is Rou Concubine, obviously in her dream, it should be her who shines at this birthday banquet, Shu Wan just presented a turquoise bracelet, and the original version of the Diamond Sutra she presented was praised by the Queen Mother, why is everything different now.

The anger in Concubine Rou's eyes flashed, and Shu Wan felt the unkind gaze cast from behind, turned around to look, and faced Concubine Rou's eyes full of disgust.

Shu Wan smiled at Concubine Rou, it was time for the two of them to make a complete break.

After the gift, there was a formal banquet, because the place where the Xiangshan Palace is located is cool in summer and warm in winter, so although the time is already November, the lake is not frozen, so the queen mother simply set the banquet on the cruise ship on the back lake.

At this time, the lake is lit up with fireworks, and the boat is also singing and dancing, and the sound of ceremonial music and orchestral music is intertwined.

The noble Nalashi, who had been unknown during the banquet, suddenly covered his handkerchief and retched, at this time Kangxi was talking with the queen mother, and when he saw the situation, he asked with concern, "What is wrong with the noble Nala?" But not feeling well? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Na Lashi immediately lowered his head, "Back to the emperor, the concubine is fine." ”

But the Empress Dowager, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "It's better to announce a doctor to take a look." ”

Nala hurriedly knelt down, "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager is good, but the concubine is really fine, but... The concubine is already happy. ”

Nara touched her belly a little shyly, and everyone realized that Nara had begun to show her pregnancy.

These days, the Nala clan doesn't often walk around the palace, and even if they have to go out, they wear relatively wide clothes, so everyone doesn't think much about it, they just think that the Nala clan has eaten fat recently.

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Since there is joy, don't kneel, get up quickly." ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie."

Nala got up with the support of the palace maid, her eyes flashed slightly, she painstakingly hid the news that she was pregnant for so long, just to break out on the birthday of the queen mother, in this way, isn't it beautiful to be happy?

Then Kangxi asked about some other things about Nala, such as her physical condition, the time of pregnancy, and so on.

What is surprising is that Nara has been pregnant for five months, and Kangxi has no idea about it.

Of course, Nala also had an explanation, because her physique was special, and it was difficult to determine the pulse of Ximai, and it was not until now that the imperial doctor dared to really confirm that she was pregnant, and her pregnant belly was not obvious, so she never dared to report it to Kangxi.

Kangxi nodded after hearing this, he knew that there were indeed some women with special physiques, and they could only be diagnosed if they were pregnant for a certain month, so they could be relieved when they thought about it.

Then Kangxi rewarded the Nala clan, and the queen mother and the queen mother also rewarded the Nala clan with a wave of their hands when they saw this.

Everyone was jealous when they saw it, originally the Nala clan had attracted much attention because of raising a little brother Wan Huang, but now she is pregnant with another one, and she can't let people live.

Shu Wan was not surprised when she heard the news, after all, the Nala clan in history also gave birth to two sons, but many people did not have Shu Wan's calmness, and looked at the Nala clan as if they were going to eat the Nala clan.

Shu Wan turned around and continued to chat with others, when she suddenly heard a scream from the boat next to her, which sounded like Zhiqiu's voice.

The hairs on Shu Wan's body suddenly stood up, Zhiqiu should be guarding next to Xiao Baozi tonight, could it be that something is wrong with Xiao Baozi?

She hurriedly rushed out of the cabin, only to see that there were already a few little eunuchs in the lake, Zhiqiu and Zhixing were lying on the side of the boat and couldn't stop waving around, "Come on, little brother has fallen into the water, go down and save little brother." ”

Little buns overboard?! Without any hesitation, Shu Wan immediately took off her shoes and socks and jumped into the water, the lake water was cold and biting, and there were many aquatic plants in it that blocked her vision, but fortunately, Shu Wan had spiritual power in her body, and she found Xiao Baozi at once, fortunately, Xiao Baozi has been wearing the amulet she made, otherwise this time it would definitely be more auspicious.

Shu Wan rushed out of the water with the little bun in her arms, and quickly swam to the shore, the amulet can prevent the little bun from drowning, but there is no heat preservation effect, the little bun is still so small that she naturally can't stand the coldness of the lake water, and the whole little face has been suffocated into blue, Shu Wan hurriedly sent spiritual power from the back of the little bun, and did not stop until the little bun's face gradually returned to normal.

Feeling the heartbeat of Xiao Baozi gradually recovering, her face became ruddy, and after doing all this, Shu Wan's body went soft and fell to the ground.
