Chapter 123: Dexterity

When Rika heard this, she turned pale with fright before she even looked at her face.

Carefully tiptoeing, he glanced at Baolan's chest, and hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright and kowtowed several times in a row, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave should die, the slave should die, it was all the slave's negligence for a while, and he didn't notice that the master changed this ...... when he went out" Rika said while kowtowing again and again, and her voice was already with a trembling cry.

Baolan saw Lixiang like this, but she didn't know why, but when she saw her kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, she guessed in her heart that she must have done something wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, and her face was full of doubts for a while, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to stand on the ground with her head down.

Xiaozhuang glanced at Baolan and asked in a deep voice, "You still don't know what's going on, right?" ”

Baolan lowered her head and replied truthfully: "The concubine really doesn't know, and I ask the Empress Dowager for advice." ”

Xiaozhuang continued to ask: "Let me ask you first, where did this Longhua in your neck come from?" ”

At this time, Kangxi, who was sitting next to him, heard this, and only then did he take a serious look at the white silk dragon on Baolan's chest, and after a closer look, he felt that it was indeed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Bao Lan looked down at the Longhua on her chest, immediately raised her head with confidence, and said, "This Longhua was given to me by my sister Empress Hesheri when she was alive. ”

Xiaozhuang nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this should be given to you by Hesheri when he was dying, right?" ”

When Baolan heard this from her filial son, she was immediately shocked and opened her mouth, and paused for a moment before she swallowed and said, "Yes, it's ......."

Xiaozhuang looked at Baolan's surprised gaze and said with a smile on his face, "You must be wondering how I know, right?" I'll tell you. ”

After that, Xiaozhuang pointed to the Longhua on Baolan's chest, and said to Emperor Kangxi who was sitting next to him: "This Longhua was originally given to Hesheri by me back then. I remember very clearly that when she went to my palace to greet me a few days before she gave birth, she still wore this around her neck, and the weather was already hot at that time, so I said to her: 'If your body is heavy, you don't have to stick to these clothes, and it is important to be light and convenient', but she said: 'I don't wear anything else, only this, because I gave it, so I want to borrow my blessing to ask for some good luck for the child.'" So I was very impressed with this thing. ”

When Kangxi heard this, he looked at the dragon and seemed to think of something, and he frowned, and reprimanded: "Baolan is presumptuous, how can you wear this thing with your current identity?" ”

Hearing this, Bao Lan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I ask the Empress Dowager to forgive me for my ignorance sin." After that, he also prostrated again and again.

At this time, Suo Etu below couldn't sit still, and when he heard Xiaozhuang say those words just now, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this time, it can be big or small, if it is not investigated, it will only be a few words of reprimand, if it is investigated, it is the following offense, and it is not an exaggeration to be beaten into the cold palace, at this time, it is only to listen to the above sentence.

Xiaozhuang said with a slight smile: "I think, your sister gave you this thing before she died, presumably to remind you that your behavior is noble and dignified, but you haven't understood her meaning yet, and you can't bring this thing, but you wear it earlier." ”

After that, he said to Lixiang, who was kneeling beside him: "Since you are already the palace maid in charge, even if you have not served the first queen Hesheri, you should understand that the phoenix pattern, only the queen can use it, and the concubines next to it have no right to use it, in my opinion, you still don't understand these palace rules and precepts, so you are not qualified to be the palace maid in charge. ”

Rika cried and kowtowed to thank her, and was taken away by two little eunuchs.

Baolan knelt on the ground, listening to Xiaozhuang's fate of Lixiang just now, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, with Xiaozhuang present, it was a matter of the harem, although Kangxi was the emperor, the head of the harem could only rely on the Empress Dowager's filial piety.

Xiaozhuang looked at Baolan who was kneeling on the ground and said: "You should also get up, you are new to the palace, this time I will not pursue it, only learn to act restrained in the future." ”

When Bao Lan heard this, she no longer pursued it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly kowtowed, thanking her again and again. Xiaozhuang ordered her to be exempted from courtesy, and still let her continue to participate in the tea fighting competition, so far the section has been overturned.

Aunt Su Mala breathed a sigh of relief, and even Huai Sleeve was worried about Baolan just now.

Although he had a quarrel with her just now, it was a personal matter that was not enough to mention, and now that he was involved in a major event related to the future, he didn't want Baolan to be severely punished.

Fortunately, this matter is handled by Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang usually participates in Zen and worships the Buddha, and always has good thoughts in his heart, just now he dealt with the palace maid in charge, but only fined ten boards and only broke a flesh and skin, so that she had a longer memory, and was not deliberately embarrassed.

When Huai Sleeve saw Baolan stand up and returned to the rosewood tea table in the center of the hall, he had completely lost the arrogance he had when he first entered the hall, carefully boiled the water, scalded two purple sand tea bowls, and took out some tea leaves from each with a teaspoon and put them into the purple sand tea bowls.

At this time, the water was boiling, Baolan lifted the copper kettle and gently filled the purple sand cup with water, and when Huai Sleeve was wondering in his heart, he saw Baolan coming to Kangxi and Xiaozhuang with a tray, serving the tea, bowing his head and saying.

"Fangcai, the teachings of the ancestors I engraved in my heart, in the future will be restrained and act, behave dignified, today I only carefully brew these two Taiping Monkey Kui contributed to the emperor, the ancestors, please the emperor and the ancestors drank this tea, but also give me a chance to repent and regenerate, I will often go to Lafayette in the future to serve and learn etiquette, I only hope to be able to match the ten thousand ...... of the sister back then" said one knee to the ground, the tray was held high above the head in front of Kangxi and Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang smiled: "Listening to you is also smart and well-behaved, but it is an unintentional move, newcomers will inevitably make mistakes, so be careful in the future." With that, he took a cup of tea.

Kangxi also took another cup and said, "Get up, since the ancestors are not held accountable, you can remember it in the future, but it is appropriate to learn more things from the ancestors in the future." ”

At this time, Bao Lan had already gotten up, her eyes were slightly red, she glanced at Kangxi with a mist of smoke, and said softly: "Thank you for the teachings of Lord Banzai, the concubine has written it down." ”

This matter is in the past, from the matter of serving tea just now, Baolan has indeed made a lot of progress in the past few days when she entered the palace, she took a sip of the teacup in her sleeve, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the face of Concubine Yu opposite, only to see Concubine Yu pinch a melon seed and slowly put it in her mouth, squinting at her, with a contemptuous smile on her lips.

Huai Sleeve retracted his gaze, gently put down the teacup, and said in the crescent moon's ear: "I'll go first." Then he turned and stepped back from behind.

At this time, Chang Ning had already announced the name of Huai Sleeve, and a palace maid came to carry the lacquered wooden box that Huai Sleeve brought with her, and furnished all the utensils inside one by one, and after placing them safely, they retreated one after another.
