Huai Sleeve and Qin Concubine heard that Kang was summoned. They immediately stopped and looked at each other in surprise. And at this time. Fuquan, who was in the front hall, had already led Kangxi in.

The concubine didn't have time to say anything more with Huai Sleeve. Immediately kneel down and kowtow to Kangxi to say goodbye. Before kneeling on the ground. Quietly glanced around.

Sure enough, there was one less.

Kangxi had already walked closer at this time. I saw Huai Sleeve and Qin Concubine both kneeling on the ground. smiled: "You two are really interested." Drink with a confidant and admire the moon. It is a very fortunate thing in the world. Get up, all of you. ”

The concubine heard this. Slowly stand up. But he didn't get up.

I know it. Kangxi said so. But I don't think so. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The concubine begs the Lord Banzai to atone for his sins." Because tonight in the ancestor's Cining Palace to enjoy the moon when returning. The concubine was on a whim. I made an appointment with the concubine to come to the palace for a drink and admire the moon. I didn't report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a while......"

Concubine Qin also understood the meaning of Huai Sleeve at this moment. Raising his head, he looked at Kangxi who was standing under the veil lamp opposite.

Kangxi stood at the wine table. The expression is not smiling. In addition, the dim halo of the gauze lamp shrouded above. around his eyes. It happens to be obscured by the brow bone, and two dark shadows are obscured. Obscuring his eyes from the shadows. It makes it impossible to see clearly.

glanced at the sleeve that was kneeling on the ground. Ponder for a moment. Kangxi said lightly: "Although the concubine keeps your Qingzhi Palace privately. Follow the rules. But it deserves to be punished. But there is no forgiveness. Pardonable. What's more, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. If I punish you for this little thing. It seems that I am too pedantic and unreasonable. ”

When speaking. Kangxi attached his body. Hold the hand with the sleeve. Slowly pull her up from the ground. The other hand held the concubine. Laughing: "That's right." I just finished reading the excerpt. I didn't have time to admire the moon and taste the mooncakes. The two of you will accompany me through this Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Huai sleeves and diligent concubines responded. As Kangxi sat down again. The two of them poured wine with one cloth dish and one wine. Sit on both sides of Kangxi to serve.

Kangxi drank the wine in the cup that he poured with his sleeve first. smiled and asked Qin Concubine and said, "When I came in." I could faintly hear singing here. But it's a Jiangnan tune. But you sang it. ”

Concubine Qin looked a little embarrassed. Slightly reddened. He smiled and nodded: "Concubine Fang Cai did sing a little song from her hometown. It's just a chatter to help the drink. ”

Kangxi smiled and said, "I listened to that tune tactfully and beautifully." Very nice to hear. Come. Sing it to me. ”

Concubine Qin has never sung in front of Kangxi. Hear him say that. Immediately blushed. smiled: "The concubine is just singing and playing at will." It's hard to get up to ......."

Kangxi smiled and held Qin Concubine's hand: "Lan'er is shy." "When speaking. Turned his head to look at Huai Sleeve and said, "Huai'er will dance for Lan'er." It also saves her embarrassment. ”

Huai Sleeve was still a little surprised before. It was the first time she had heard Kangxi call Concubine Qin "Lan'er", and her tone was naturally familiar. The intimacy and tenderness in the words are already overflowing.

Qin Concubine listened to Kangxi's name. It seems to be taken for granted. There was no surprise on the part. It seems that Kangxi is privately with his concubine. It's really a lot of love. As Jian Yue once said. The concubine was favored when she entered the palace. No less than she did at this time.

Slowly stand up. The sleeves screwed into the water pavilion platform in front of the octagonal pavilion. When the concubine sings. Slowly stretch your sleeves. The dance moves and spins lightly.

A round of jade plates in the sky was empty. The jade people by the pool are dressed in fluttering clothes.

Through the warmth of the candlelight and the clear light of the moon, it shines together. Although Kangxi listened to the song of the concubine in his ears. But his eyes never left his sleeves on the water pavilion for a moment.

It's just that Kangxi is looking at his sleeves in his eyes at the moment. But gradually gave birth to some complicated feelings.

At this moment, people who are more dazzling than the moonlight. Dancing under the moon. It's still the same way he looked at her in amazement. It's been so long. Her person was still close at hand. But Kangxi always felt it. Every time I face such a soft sleeve to the extreme. There's always something untrue.

The concubine sang a song. The sleeves also fluttered to restrain the dancing. Turn back and bow down and sit down again.

The singing is over. The dance was also over. Kangxi didn't say whether half a word was good or not. Twist the wine glass with one hand and drink lightly.

Moment. Kangxi gently placed the cup on the table. turned to Qin Concubine and smiled: "Lan'er has been in the palace for so many years. I didn't know your song was so good. ”

Concubine Qin's cheeks were always slightly red. Illuminated by soft gauze lights. Skin is clearer and more plump like cream. Like a delicate white chrysanthemum under the autumn moon. Pitiful.

"Long live the praise. The concubine was stunned when she saw the long live lord looking at Concubine Yu's dancing. The concubine is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. And then it danced so beautifully. Just dedicate a clumsy song. ”

Kangxi listened to what Concubine Qin said. Instead he looked at the sleeve on the other side. Seeing that she never said a word. Slightly lowered his eyebrows. The corners of her lips, which are as thin as cherry petals, hook a shallow smile. That smile. It's almost impossible to see if it's shallow.

"Lan'er doesn't have to be too humble. I said you sang well. That's all right. When Kangxi spoke. Raise your hand and raise your glass. Drink the wine down.

Reach out and hold the hand holding the chopsticks tightly in the concubine. Then he stood up.

"The hour is getting late. I will have an early dynasty tomorrow. Lan'er will go back to Zhaoren Hall with me tonight. ”

Between words. Kangxi had turned around the table. Holding the hand of the concubine. Hold her tightly by your side. It's too late to even be diligent and salute with sleeves. was dragged away by Kangxi.

Huai Sleeve looked up at Kangxi's back without looking back. But the eyes of the concubine who were flustered and at a loss.

A slight smile at her was reassured. Sleeves silently followed. has been sending Kangxi out of the gate of Qingzhi Palace.

"The concubine sends the ...... long live" stood at the gate of the palace. Bow down with your sleeves down. Salute Kangxi.

Kangxi is about to go up. The soft sedan chair of the concubine was also carried out by the accompanying palace people at this time. But Kangxi's hand. But there is no intention of letting go at all.

"Lan'er will ride the dragon with me tonight. It's not like this in the past. ”

Kangxi didn't pay attention to the sleeves that were saluting. Always hold the hand of the concubine tightly. Don't wait for her to speak. It has been pulled up to the dragon bowl.

glanced at the sleeves that always bowed down and drooped their eyes. Kangxi said: "It's late at night. Concubine Yu also rested earlier. Drinks are a pleasure. Being drunk hurts your body. ”

Kangxi's words fell. The voice of a great eunuch immediately called out loudly: "Get up." Qianqing Palace Zhaoren Hall ......"

The eunuch's shrill voice. In the deep palace of silence, it resounded far, far away. It seems to spread throughout the harem under the silence of the night.

Standing in front of the gate of Qingzhi Palace. looked at the guard of honor who traveled far away with Kangxi Long. He stood still for a moment. Fang turned around and went back to the palace.

"Close the palace door." Huai Sleeve lightly commanded Fuquan.

Fuquan looked at the lonely expression in his arms. frowned. After all, I held back the words in my heart and didn't speak. Instead, he went and ordered the palace door to be locked.
