Chapter 262: Preparing for Bedtime
When Kangxi stepped into the courtyard, he first signaled Li Dequan to silence. Therefore, the little inner supervisor did not notice it at first, but when he turned around, he raised his head, and suddenly saw two more figures at the door, and he shook his body and almost threw down the broom in his hand.
After looking carefully, he was more and more frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, and was about to speak, Kangxi had already walked in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Don't make noise, get up and continue to do your work." ”
The little inner prisoner hurriedly stopped, and when Kangxi and Li Dequan arrived in the backyard, they stood up, wiped the cold beads of sweat on their foreheads with their sleeves, picked up the broom and continued to sweep the floor.
Feeling the sound of the piano coming from the back garden, Kangxi passed through the study, through the corridor next to the inner room to the back garden.
In the center of the garden, there is a pool of water as pure as jade, and the octagonal pavilion standing in the center is hung with a glass wind lamp with tassels.
Kangxi walked slowly to the octagonal pavilion in the center of the pool, the autumn breeze gently stirred the autumn water of the blue pool, and the microwave sparkled like Kangxi's undulating mood stirred by the sound of the piano at this time.
Since the grassland returned to Beijing, most of them were busy in the south study, and they never approached her so closely, and the light breeze sent the elegant chrysanthemum fragrance on the sleeve to his nose, just like her temperament, light and elegant, no matter where she is, she is clean**.
Kangxi was full of yearning for her gentleness, and he was afraid of recklessly moving forward to disturb her quiet beauty, he was really worried about advancing and retreating, and he didn't know what to do with the little woman in front of him for a while.
Sitting by the lake with sleeves, the jade wrist turns, the fingers hook the chain, and the music flutters like a pearl falling on the jade plate from the strings around the beam, and enters the vast sky.
Playing to the ** place, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but sing softly: "The hosta golden chrysanthemum dew in autumn, brewing the West Garden Show, who is the new Yanliu thin?" Smooth and windy, drunk and don't remember after dusk, the little dregs and fine wine, Jintang is sunny, but he is holding his head again......"
After singing a song with his sleeves, he heard someone behind him suddenly laugh and praise: "Jiaju brews good autumn, Jia Garden shows good scenery, good wine helps Jia Xing, good autumn night drinking Jia Xing!" ”
When Huai Sleeve heard the voice, he suddenly turned around and saw that there was no one else behind him, it was Kangxi.
Hurriedly turned around and came to the front of the royal car, and he was about to kowtow.
Kangxi pulled up his sleeves, still holding her hand as he did in Chengde Qiushui Pavilion, slowly came to the piano, and asked slowly: "This song "Little Pink" by Yu Zhixue really fits the situation, I wanted you to play it again for me, but ......" Kangxi hesitated slightly and did not finish his words.
"Since the Lord likes it, the slave will play another song." Huai Sleeve wanted to pull out the hand that was held tightly by Kangxi, but he happened to get this reason.
Who knew that after smoking a few times, Kangxi didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, but held it a little tighter.
The sleeves struggled a few times, but they never broke away, and the shyness in his heart gradually grew, and he couldn't help the heat on his face, and the palms of his hands were also sweating.
When Kangxi first shook his sleeve hand, he only felt that the onion fingers were cold, which was heart-wrenching. At this time, sensing that her palms were oozing fine sweat, and knowing that she was shy, he slowly let go of his hand and said gently: "My hands are cold, I can't bear it." Go back to the house and play chess with me. ”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the octagonal pavilion, walked along the corridor to the study, and had to be behind Kangxi when he heard it.
Striding into the study, Kangxi raised his eyes and saw the snow-white and warm jade rabbit on the bookshelf, and he was slightly surprised.
Looking back at her sleeve, I saw her standing behind her with her head bowed, and asked, "I came to your study some time ago, and I didn't seem to see this jade rabbit." ”
Huai sleeve raised his eyes to look at the jade rabbit, smiled and whispered: "This jade rabbit is a gift from the emperor, so the slave is very precious, the day the emperor came up, it happened that the slave and the maid returned to the princess's mansion with the crescent princess, worried that the palace maid and eunuch would miss the loss, so the jade rabbit and the jade Ruyi were put away together." ”
When Kangxi heard this, he turned his head and looked at the desk, and really saw the jade Ruyi lying quietly next to the paperweight.
Kangxi was slightly surprised in his heart, thinking that he had misunderstood her high contempt, but he didn't know that there was another reason for this, thinking about it at the moment, it seemed that he was narrow-minded, thinking about this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. When he turned back, he saw that Huai Sleeve had already taken the tea cup from the palace maid and served it with his own hands.
Kangxi took the teacup, slowly walked to the chess table and sat down, when he lifted the lid of the teacup and considered the tea foam, Kangxi smelled a sweet and sour fragrance of flowers, opened the teacup and took a closer look, and saw that it was a pale pink soup, and there was a mellow green plum at the bottom of the soupcup.
"What kind of tea is this?" Kangxi took a sip of it, which was sour and sweet, and was wrapped in a rich floral fragrance.
Huai Sleeve replied with a smile: "This is Ziyun Qingmei Soup, which can restrain the mind and help calm the mind to sleep." ”
When Kangxi heard this, he smiled and said: "I want you to accompany me to play chess, but you make this plum soup to help me sleep, the game has no desire to sleep, and if you want to sleep, you can't play the game. ”
After that, he smiled at his sleeves, and his deep eyes had already returned to the gentle charm of the past.
Huai sleeves faced Kangxi's eyes under the candlelight, but he didn't dare to raise his eyes to each other, and lowered his autumn eyes and said lightly: "The slave only knows that the emperor's holy body is important, but playing chess is second, at this time the night is deeper, the emperor still can't sleep, the slave and maid naturally want to make the emperor sleep peacefully, as for playing chess, it is not appropriate, it is not set to consume the spirit late at night at this time, and besides, the two are mutually restrained, but they are born before each other, the emperor has raised enough spirit tonight, and tomorrow he will call the slave and the maid to play again, wouldn't it be more likely to win?" ”
When Kangxi heard Huai Sleeve's words, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile of approval: "You are smarter than Concubine Yu, but you are not as flamboyant as her, you have the sage of Concubine Hui, and you are wiser than her, you are relaxed, and you can advance and retreat appropriately, which is really rare!" With that, he picked up the cup and savored the purple cloud green plum soup.
Li Dequan, who was standing at the door of the study, saw that Kangxi and Huai Sleeve were talking and laughing, and Kangxi didn't seem to have the intention of returning to the Qianqing Palace, so he thought about it, slapped his head suddenly, and scolded himself in a low voice: "You old bastard, you can't even see this, the older you get, the more useless you are!" ”
After that, he hurriedly walked to the tea room, and looked for Jian Yue and ordered: "Hurry up and prepare those things, and don't make a mess when you use them for a while." ”
Jian Yue was confused for a moment by Li Dequan's abrupt instructions, and asked rhetorically, "What are you going to prepare?" ”
Li Dequan glared at Jian Yue and said in a deep voice: "Stupid girl, what else can you prepare?" Bedding! I didn't see that the Lord of Long Live hadn't gone back this morning or night. ”
Jian Yue couldn't close her mouth in surprise when she heard this, and stretched out her hand to the front yard and was dumbfounded.
Li Dequan smiled and patted Jian Yue's shoulder and said, "Go and prepare carefully, look at this scene, you will inevitably follow your master in the future!" With that, he smiled and turned around.
