The preparations for the canonization ceremony were as tight as the day began. Just after the hour. I've just finished breakfast. Su Malagu brought the royal tailor to measure the sleeves. The special material for Jiangnan weaving has just been sent to the palace. Now we have the most important cutting step.

"No need to make new ones. The main palace already has auspicious clothes. ”

Sleeve waved at the group of tailors who were about to measure her. Everyone stood on the ground and looked at Aunt Su Mala.

Aunt Su Mala frowned: "Such a grand canonization ceremony." Everything needs to be done according to the rules. Your dress is the most important thing. Not at all. "Say it. The tailors were still ordered to come forward and measure the measurements.

Huai Sleeve knew that he couldn't move Aunt Su Mala at this time. and he spoke no more. Let the crowd go back and forth. Inside and out, it's at the mercy of the inside. The master tailor recorded the size and went. Su Malagu was left to drink tea by her arms.

Just sat down. Lianbi came in and asked, "The master instructed yesterday that the chicken breast meat with sauce should be reused with sake lees. But the cook in the imperial dining room said that he had used the wine. The flavor of the sauce is shallow. Please tell the master if you still need to drink. ”

Huai sleeve said: "Long live the lord's favorite is the fragrance of the sauce." If so. You don't need to drink alcohol. ”

Mercy responded. Turned around and went to pass the word.

Aunt Su Mala smiled: "The day before yesterday, the Ministry of Rites just said to the Long Live Lord. The period before the canonization. According to the rules, you are not allowed to serve in bed. Long live the Lord and put lunch on your side every day. It really hurts, you hurt tightly. ”

Huai sleeve smiled: "Long live the lord just likes the peach blossom drunk in my palace." If you look at me alone. No matter how beautiful a person is. I'm tired of looking at it like this every day. ”

When speaking. I poured myself a cup of tea. But he was curious: "The day before yesterday, Gonggong Qin from the Internal Affairs Office came to invite me to see the palace layout of Kunning Palace. I walked around the garden at the back of the palace. I saw a garden full of peach forests.

I remember that the garden was planted with a garden of crimson peonies. Kunning Palace has been empty for more than ten years. The gardener takes care of it so well. Even the flowers and trees are replaced piece by piece. ”

Aunt Su Mala listened to her. smiled: "You should be idle for them." ”

He took a shallow sip of tea. Raised his eyes to look at Aunt Su Mala.

Su Malagu continued: "It's okay, who is going to toss an empty garden. Those peach trees. It's after the Lord came back from you. Tell the gardeners to hurry up with the new ones.

I heard Anda Lee say. Long live the Lord himself when he went to see the newly planted peach trees in the courtyard. I once said that I miss you and you under the peach tree in the ruined temple to the moon and play the qin. ”

Su Malagu said this. smiled and sighed: "This time I will take you back to the palace." Hooray, Lord has put a lot of thought into it. ”

Sleeves listen to this. Lowered eyebrows, eyes smiled, gentle smile. Su Malagu's this. How could she, as a client, not feel it.

Kangxi also liked her back then. Treat her well. But it is limited to the emperor's liking for concubines. Be courteous, courteous and measured. Abide by the rules of a monarch and minister, which cannot be crossed. It's noticeably somewhat alienated.

Now Kangxi treats her. But he can't wait to let the world know that he likes her. It's the kind that doesn't shy away from it. Unscrupulous. Let her be the one she wants. Sometimes call her a surprise. Sometimes it worries her.

The end of the hour. Aunt Su Mala resigned. Wait until three o'clock in the afternoon. Kangxi has not yet returned to the court. First thought he went to the south study to discuss with the minister. Later, I heard the person sent by Zhang Bao come back and say. Even at this time, he had not retreated from the court.

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart. What can't be discussed later. You have to be hungry and have a pestle on the court.

can't wait for Kangxi to return to the palace for dinner. Sleeves walked out of Zixia Pavilion. He asked someone to move a chair under the big banyan tree in front of the garden. I'm going to flip through those two headache-inducing booklets. But I overheard a little eunuch gossiping around the corner.

Gossip is such a thing. It is not uncommon in the palace. There is it in the palace next to it. It is inevitable in the Qingzhi Palace with sleeves. Therefore, most of the arms do not care much. Just in this gossip. But let her hear the name of a person who made her heartstrings flutter. Pall Squirt.

Call the little eunuch over and ask him carefully. I don't know until I have my sleeves. It turned out that Pall was kneeling in the center of the temple, not knowing what to say. Long live the Lord and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all listened to his long stories. As for what exactly is being said. The little eunuch did not dare to listen carefully.

The night before yesterday. While chatting with Silver Bell. Huai Sleeve heard that this lord has been out of the palace since he first joined her. said that he was sick and never entered the palace again. Now he suddenly entered the palace. It also coincided with the eve of her canonization......

The confusion came together in one place. Let the right eyelid of the sleeve jump a few times. Pass Zhang Bao over. Ordered him to go to the Taihe Hall to have a look. What is the reason?

Zhang Bao went. But he couldn't sit still. Pacing back and forth in the courtyard. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

Until Zhang Bao returned. Get on your knees. With an anxious face, he said, "Lord Pall sprayed him." He was in the court. moved out of the ancestral system in front of the Manchu civil and military forces. Say ......"

Zhang Bao said that at this point, he suddenly stopped. The face is quite ugly.

"Say what." Arms saw him swallow. Hurriedly asked.

"Long live the lord and canonize the master. It is against the ancestral system. And the mourning has just passed. Long live the Lord is in a hurry to canonize his new favorite. Also said...... It is ...... to say that the face is misleading the country."

Sleeves listen to this. I felt a coldness oozing from my palms. Little by little, my heart sank......

Finally. What she's worried about these days. It still happened.

The sleeve steadied his mind slightly. Ordered Zhang Bao to prepare the phoenix. Chuan Qiu came to comb his makeup. Everything is in order. did not use the honor guard of the concubine. With only a few palace people who often followed, he wanted to leave the palace.

The sedan has just been lifted. There is no place yet. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Master." Where are you going? ”

As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Yingxue's voice. I want to pass on the drive. Yingxue's hand had been pressed on the sedan pole of the phoenix. He said to the sleeve sitting in the brocade curtain: "Master." Are you going to the Taihe Temple? ”

He sat silently in his sleeves. Ying Xue even understood. Sure enough, she expected it.

She also heard the rumors of the palace people. said that Pall sprayed out of the ancestral system in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. Attack Kangxi above the court. blamed Kangxi for transgressing the canonization of his sleeves. said that the sleeves were red and misunderstood. Yingxue knows the temperament of the sleeve. That's when I hurried here.

"At this time, Long Live Lord is all for me. Now the courtiers are in trouble with him. How can I ignore it? ”

Ying Xue hurriedly said: "At this moment, even if the courtiers are in trouble. After all, they are facing the Supreme of All Saints. Even if it's a little bit of a whisper. But he didn't dare to lose his courtesy. As far as the Lord of Long Live is concerned. It's nothing more than listening to two words that you don't like to hear.

But if the master goes. They pointed the finger at their master. That's no mercy. Especially Lord Napour. Back then, the master suffered his loss. Have you forgotten your master? ”

After listening to Yingxue's heartfelt exhortation, Huai Sleeve listened. He said in a deep voice: "I understand everything you said. The law is unforgiving. It's hard to hold on to love, I can't bear to face it alone......"

Let's talk about it. He said loudly: "Swing." Taihe Temple. ”
