Chapter 118: Like a Dream Xiaoling
After smelling the incense, Kangxi picked up the tea cup with three fingers and prepared to taste the tea, Concubine Yu said again: "The emperor is also an expert in the technique, look at these three fingers hold the eaves of the cup steadily, and use the middle finger to hold the bottom of the cup, so that the three fingers are like a dragon, the cup is like a tripod, this name: three dragons protect the tripod." ”
When Kangxi heard this name, he felt that it was auspicious and consistent with his identity, and couldn't help laughing. After Xiaozhuang and Kangxi both tasted the tea soup in the cup, Concubine Yu put the teacup back in place.
Yingran stood beside the sea of tea, Concubine Yu had spring smoke on her face, Nafu chuckled: "The last step is to collect the cup of tea, and the concubine's tea art interpretation is over, the tea man said: One period and one meeting, every time you get together to drink weak tea, it is an opportunity in the world, not only makes people's teeth and cheeks fragrant, the bottom of the tongue gushes spring, but also makes people's hearts and spleens fragrant, pure and pleasant...... "After that, he slowly gave a salute, and raised his hand to order the palace maid to tear off the tea set one by one.
Everyone applauded, Kangxi stood up and applauded: "Concubine Yu's tea art today is quite expressive, and I am also amazed, Concubine Yu is really a surprise to me!" ”
Concubine Yu's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she slowly lowered her head, just like a delicate new cigarette, which was very moving. As soon as he put the cup in his sleeve, he inadvertently raised his eyes, and saw Concubine Hui on the opposite side unconsciously lowering her eyes, and her face was slightly gloomy.
Obviously, Concubine Yu's tea ceremony is the last one of today's finale, but Kangxi still seems to be still interested, and said: "Such an elegant program should naturally have poems to help the fun, Rong Ruo, you have good sentences, come and listen!" ”
Hearing this, Rong Ruo hurriedly stood up, raised his teacup and said with a smile to Concubine Yu: "When Wei Chen admired Concubine Yu's tea art just now, he felt quite royal momentum, and several of the steps were like the water of the rolling heavenly river pouring into the world, so I thought of two words that should be in line with this scene." ”
Rong Ruo said, and slowly recited: "Returning to the dream across the wolf river, and being broken by the sound of the river. ”
"Good! It's a good one and it's broken by the sound of the river, and the momentum is really different! Kangxi excitedly raised his glass and drank with everyone.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone congratulated Concubine Yu, Rong Ruo quietly withdrew from the main hall door and went to the garden next to the side corridor.
When he looked around, far away from the corridor, he saw Rong Ruo wandering alone among the flowers, suddenly stopped, and looked at this side in a daze, he saw her, and probably knew that she would follow his footsteps out. However, although I saw it at this moment, it was like a distant wolf river.
Huai Sleeve shook his head fiercely, and was about to pass, but his arm was grabbed by a person, and Huai Sleeve looked back in surprise, and found that it was Gu Zhenguan who grabbed his wrist.
I saw Gu Zhenguan glaring solemnly at his sleeve, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Don't you still think that there is not enough to do things?" Don't mess with him at this time! After speaking, Gu Zhenguan pressed Huai Sleeve's arm fiercely, and Huai Sleeve was already shocked, stopped his feet, and didn't dare to take another step forward.
Seeing Gu Zhenguan walking to Rong Ruo's side and saying something in Rong Ruo's ear, Rong Ruo looked sideways at Huai Sleeve, paused slightly, seemed to pick up a branch and wrote and drew on the ground, and finally threw the branch, and finally glanced at Huai Sleeve, and returned to the hall with Gu Zhenguan.
Seeing the two disappear behind the red pillar of the eaves, Huai Sleeve ran to the place where Rong Ruo was standing just now, and saw that on the empty land where Rong Ruo had stood just now, a few words were written:
The people in the Ten Thousand Tents were drunk, and the stars and shadows were about to fall, returning to the dream of the wolf river, and being broken by the sound of the river. Still sleeping, still sleeping, waking up tasteless.
The following three plum blossom seal characters are clear: such as a dream.
Huai Sleeve looked at the handwriting on the ground stupidly, slowly squatted down, and touched it gently with his fingers, as if the warm ground touched by his fingertips was his warm palm, unconsciously, the mist in his eyes blocked his vision, and a drop of water rolled down, shattered on the top of the word "dream", and gradually faded into the soil. The mouth slowly chanted out the memory of long-term nostalgia in the bottom of my heart: "I remember that under the double moon, Xiaolou played hide and seek before and after...... Do you know how much I miss those days......"
There was a sound of a squirming skirt behind her, vaguely accompanied by the crisp sound of the ring, and when Huai Sleeve noticed it, the footsteps were already standing by her side.
Huai sleeve gently brushed his cheeks with a handkerchief, and got up to deal with the person who was slightly surprised, it was no one else, it was Baolan, who was an old friend.
"Stand down, all of you." The palace maids and eunuchs who followed Bao Lanping after retreating had a more majestic tone than before. When the palace maid retreated, Baolan's eyes moved to the face of her sleeves, looked at her carefully, and sneered coldly: "Hmph! You and I meet again, Huai Gongzi! The last three words deliberately accentuated the tone, revealing the hidden resentment in his heart.
Huai Sleeve had already restrained the excited look just now, and at this moment he had already returned to his former calm and indifference, bowed to Baolan and stopped talking. lowered her eyes, ready to let Baolan say anything, just let her go, this is a royal forbidden place after all, and she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Bao Lan saw that Huai Sleeve's expression was so calm, she couldn't calm down in her heart, and she couldn't guess her mood at the moment for a while. couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "I should have seen your foxy face, I wanted to steal but didn't dare, for fear of revealing your noble identity?" Hum! actually pretended to be a man and went in and out with Rong Ruo all day long, do you think you are much more noble than me by doing this? But it seems to me that your secretive and unseemly behavior is worse than if I said it outright! ”
Huai Sleeve still stood quietly without saying a word, listening to Ren Baolan pointing at his nose and screaming.
Bao Lan shouted and saw that Huai Sleeve still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and aroused the floating fire in her heart more and more, and simply poured out all the words that were depressed in her heart.
"Huai Sleeve, the daughter of Ge Jitai, the general of Zhenguo in Northern Xinjiang, since I saw you for the first time in Zifeng Tower that year, you couldn't get along with me, and then if it wasn't for Rong Ruo's friendship with you, I wouldn't have bothered with you, I didn't even recognize your true face, your foxy Fang Zi is really smart, it's a pity that I haven't seen through your face......" Baolan scolded more and more, and finally mentioned her and Rong Ruo's affairs.
"If you hadn't intervened, Rong Ruo would have asked me to be his concubine, and it was all your slut who ruined me......" Huai Sleeve knew that Bao Lan's scolding was rising, most of them had forgotten her own identity at the moment, and Huai Sleeve didn't care if Bao Lan's domineering image at the moment was self-defeating, but she was afraid that she would be unstoppable, and some of the words and sentences related to royal decency were still heard by someone next to Rong Ruo, so she couldn't help but speak.
