Xiaozhuang's words fell, and everyone laughed.

Su Malagu had already set up a small coffee table with Huanghuali under the largest hibiscus tree in the back garden, and put the pastries brought by her sleeves on a plate and placed them on the coffee table at the same time.

The three of them sat down separately, and Kangxi and Huai Sleeve accompanied Xiaozhuang on the left and right, chatting while eating tea.

Although Xiaozhuang has just blamed Huai Sleeve, but after all, it is his granddaughter-in-law, the palm of his hand and the back of his hand are the same pain, at this time sitting together to eat tea and chat, he is happy, and he has already left all the unpleasantness of Fang Cai behind.

A few people were laughing happily, and someone from the palace in the front hall came in loudly, saying that Concubine Hui was here.

Huai Sleeve immediately stood up, and when Concubine Hui approached, the two greeted each other first, and Concubine Hui saluted with Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, and Aunt Su Mala ordered someone to set up a position next to Kangxi.

Concubine Hui sat down, Xiaozhuang smiled: "It's rare that you are here today, and today's lunch will be left in my palace for use, I will also steal a day's laziness, don't chant Buddha, long live the Lord also has to be idle for a long time, let's have a small gathering."

A few days ago, Lord Pall and Fu Jin entered the palace to greet me and sent a basket of ingots and crabs. Today, you are all blessed, and it's time to catch up."

When Xiaozhuang spoke, he instructed Su Malagu to go to the kitchen to prepare the crab feast at noon.

Kangxi said with a smile: "This Pall Lord is really close to the ancestors, such a good thing, I haven't even heard him mention half a word."

Several people laughed, and Xiaozhuang smiled: "You are the king of a country, you will definitely not be able to see this basket of crabs if you haven't seen any good things." ”

Concubine Hui answered: "A few days ago, I heard that the county lord of Zhaoyu is not in good health, but I don't know that her illness is better now."

Originally, I wanted to ask this question, but after listening to Concubine Hui's first question, she also turned her attention to Xiaozhuang who was drinking tea next to her.

When Xiaozhuang heard this, the smile on his face gradually retracted, and he slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, and sighed lightly: "Zhao Yu still didn't listen to persuasion after all, he shouted to see the Tiezhou Zen Master, and later knew that the Tiezhou Zen Master had passed away, so he kept himself stuffed in the room, and did not take half a step out of the door all day long. ”

"Can you find a doctor," Huai Sleeve asked.

Xiaozhuang shook his head lightly: "I heard Lord Fujin say that I don't know how much medicine I drank, and even the shaman and grandmother have been invited, but to no avail. ”

Kangxi couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Zhaoyu's illness originated from Rong Ruo, and now that Rong Ruo is gone, I'm afraid that no one can replace her anymore, and she has lost this lack in her heart." ”

"I blamed me for this, if it wasn't for my personal decree, I am afraid that it would not have caused such a string of unpleasant things later, no one was happy, but it caused several families to share sorrow."

Several people present heard that there was something in Xiaozhuang's words, and Kangxi and Huai Sleeve lowered their eyes and said nothing.

Concubine Hui, who was drinking tea with her head bowed on the opposite side, secretly glanced at the sleeve sitting opposite.

Because of the dull topic, several people sat silently and drank tea, and they had their own concerns, and for a while they only heard the rustle of the wind sweeping the branches and leaves.

"I heard that the Tiezhou Zen Master of the Great Xiangguo Temple died suddenly, but why do you look like this, the partial birth of Zhaoyu County Lord just had an accident, and he passed away with him" After all, it was Concubine Hui who spoke first, and she still asked about this matter.

Kangxi frowned and said: "This matter, no matter how long it takes to investigate, I must investigate it thoroughly, I must live to see people die and see corpses, this kind of demon monk who relies on the pure land of Buddhism to do such a thing of heavenly conscience, I must punish him quickly."

Xiaozhuang sighed: "I also heard the name of this Tiezhou Zen Master before, and I originally wanted to find an opportunity to invite him into the palace to preach the scriptures, who would have thought that such a thing would be born, Amitabha, it is really a sin"

Xiaozhuang said this, put his palms together, closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Concubine Hui heard that it was the same, but when her palms were put together, the cuffs slipped down, revealing a string of small-leaf red sandalwood prayer beads with an evenly thick pulp, hanging on her snow-white arms like lotus roots, which was particularly conspicuous.

At noon, the crab was steamed and put on the table, and the three big ones were put on a plate, all of them were full of meat, and the lid was pried open, and the oily yellow seeds were exposed, which was really gluttonous.

Huai Sleeve is accustomed to eating crabs, which are abundant in the south and were rare to eat in northern Xinjiang before.

Later, when she entered Beijing, in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, Zhu Hetana knew that she liked to eat this thing, and when the crabs were fat in summer and autumn, she always bought them for her to eat.

Seeing such a delicious fat crab today, Huai Sleeve immediately moved his index finger, first Yingxue peeled a few, Kangxi saw that she liked to eat, and put a few of his crab roe characters dipped in sauce and put them on her dinner plate, and Huai Sleeve ate them together.

Xiaozhuang looked at Huai Sleeve and said with a smile: "Huai Girl's appetite has improved a lot recently, I see that you eat very sweetly, so that it is good that a crab is a cold thing, and eating too much hurts your body, I will have it, and I will send you to the palace in a while." ”

Kangxi smiled and said to his sleeves: "Look, the ancestor still loves you, and you can still walk around if you can't eat."

Concubine Hui, who was sitting opposite, also smiled and said: "Concubine Yu is so blessed, there are ancestors and long live the lord who are hurting, and eating too much is not in the way, I will go back to the palace and send someone to send some milk vetch honey to your palace, that thing is overcoming the crab cold, and it can make you feast."

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but laugh when he heard these people say this.

"In this way, I feel that I have become a wine bag and a rice bag, and I don't remember everything, only remember the item of "eating"

"People take food as the sky, and eating is naturally the first major event in the world, and it doesn't hurt to just remember this" Kangxi said and laughed, and personally dialed a crab roe and put it on the plate in his sleeve.

The laughter of a meal continued, and it was not until the afternoon that they dispersed and returned to the palace, and Huai Sleeve was in a much better mood because he put down the matter of Cining Palace in his heart, so he ordered Fuquan to drive Xianru Palace, intending to go and see the concubine.

The sedan chair slowly walked in the direction of Xianru Palace in the quiet Yongxiang, and just turned the long alley on the east side, I heard Yingxue outside the whisper: "Niangniang, the front is the sedan chair of Concubine Hui."

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he was a little surprised, Concubine Hui's Yanqing Palace should not have passed from now on, how could she meet her

But since they have already met in one place, Huai Sleeve has to order someone to come forward quickly and greet Concubine Hui.

The golden silk phoenix with the sleeve just caught up with Concubine Hui's pick, and the other party immediately stopped, and the sleeve had to order someone to stop and come down to salute Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui stepped down, stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve with her own hand, and said gently: "Good sister, I have been focusing on serving the Buddha for a while, and I rarely step out of the palace gate, so don't blame my sister for having a cold personality." ”

Huai Sleeve shook his head slightly: "This is why my sister should go to visit my sister, but let my sister worry, but I am really ignorant." ”

Concubine Hui shook her head gently, her hand kept gently holding the hand in her arms, her palm was slightly cool, and extremely soft, it was very comfortable to be held like this.

What's even better is that Concubine Hui also has a faint fragrance of small leaves of red sandalwood, and the whole person looks light and tranquil, which makes people feel comfortable smelling.
