With his sleeves slightly stunned, he raised his eyes to look into Kangxi's gentle and slightly smiling eyes, and slightly hesitated to put his hand into Kangxi's palm.

Kangxi's hand was very warm and generous, and he only gently held the delicate hand of his sleeve, and just helped her off the boat and let go.

"On such a hot day, how can I think of picking lotus flowers, and if I want to eat, ask the palace people to pick some, so as not to provoke the summer heat." Kangxi glanced at the bamboo basket in his hand and said in a harmonious voice.

"Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, go to the lake to play, the lotus leaves are high, and you can't get sun." Crescent replied with a smile.

Kangxi turned around and said to the sleeve that was walking behind him: "I went to greet the ancestor the previous child, and drank a bowl of lotus seed soup there, and the ancestor said that you specially took advantage of the dawn to pick the new tender lotus seed kernel sent over, and praised you a lot." ”

Huai sleeve slightly chin smiled: "The ancestor treats me very well, a basket of lotus seeds is nothing, it was originally born in this royal garden, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, it is not worth mentioning." ”

"Even if you borrow flowers to offer Buddha, you need to have this delicate mind." Kangxi followed and said.

Huai Sleeve smiled lightly and asked, "Long live the old ancestor's leg disease is better?" When I went the day before yesterday, my ancestor was still asleep and I couldn't see him. ”

"These times are much better, and I said that I asked the crescent moon to talk to you often to relieve my boredom." Kangxi smiled.

"The old ancestor is sick? I don't even know, I'm going to ask for peace when I catch up with tomorrow. Hearing this, the crescent moon hurriedly said.

Kangxi stretched out a hand, lightly tapped it on the crescent moon's head, and teased: "You white-eyed wolf, the ancestors hurt you in vain, and they don't always worry about going over to take a look!" ”

The crescent moon pouted and said, "I haven't forgotten it, it's just that I've been busy with important things these days, and when I'm done with this, I'm going to give my ancestor a big gift." With that, the crescent moon winked mysteriously at the sleeve.

When Kangxi heard this, he glanced at his sleeve and asked the crescent moon with a smile: "What good things are still hidden, and saying it makes me happy." ”

The crescent moon circled, turned to Huai Sleeve's side, reached out and grabbed Huai Sleeve's arm and said, "This is my secret with Master, so naturally I can't tell you!" ”

Kangxi smiled and pointed to the crescent moon and said, "This Nizi is becoming more and more arrogant!" ”

During the chat, he unconsciously walked into the courtyard of Diyuxuan, Kangxi looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and said, "I won't go in, there are still some folds to see." ”

When the crescent moon heard this, a disappointed look suddenly appeared on her face, and she asked, "Uncle Huang came to me just to take a walk?" Come into the house and drink tea, and let my master make it for you. As he spoke, he pushed his sleeve forward.

Huai Sleeve turned his head and glanced at the crescent moon, but the crescent moon smiled and stuck out her tongue at Huai Sleeve.

Kangxi glanced at his sleeves and said: "Yesterday, the capital sent some elm money, I asked someone to make some elm money stuffed dumplings, remembering that you like to eat this, come out to relax, and bring some to you by the way." ”

The crescent moon couldn't help jumping up when she heard this, hugged Kangxi's arm and said, "Wow! Uncle Huang is the best, every time I come to bring snacks, this elm money dumplings I have been talking about for a year, and I thought that it was finally the end of spring, let's come here again, thinking that this year can not eat it, I didn't think about it or look forward to it, haha, it seems that the hard work pays off! ”

The last sentence made Kangxi and Huai Sleeve laugh, and even Li Dequan next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Kangxi said with a smile: "I said that you don't see any progress in your homework, and you dare to eat all your kung fu here." You are also a princess, and I will give you a choice in a few years, and I am not afraid of jokes when this word spreads. ”

The crescent moon raised her pretty face, and said disapprerovitically: "Hmph, what else does the old master surnamed Kong say: Erotic sex, I am now thinking that a 'food' is good enough to serve!" ”

When he said this, even the palace maids and eunuchs next to him laughed, Kangxi shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "I won't grind my teeth with you here." ”

After that, I looked back at my sleeve and saw that she was also smiling with a crimson face, just because of the hot weather, and shallow fine sweat oozing from her sideburns.

Kangxi said gently: "It's hot, don't bask in the sun, if you want to go to the lake to enjoy the lotus, I will ask someone to put the painting boat in another day." After that, he took a group of palace maids and eunuchs back to Qingning Palace.

The crescent moon took the hand of the sleeve, couldn't wait to enter the house, didn't even care about the hand, lifted the lid of the cage drawer, pinched a dumpling and stuffed it into the mouth, and chewed it with relish.

Huai sleeve to see a total of three baskets of dumplings, I don't know what to use and the noodles, the dumpling skin is pale pink, thin and almost transparent, the jade-like dumpling filling inside is faintly visible, the dumplings are made into an ingots style, should be pinched with fine lace, delicate and lovely.

Crescent Moon was busy ordering two sets of dishes, and the sauce had already been prepared and delivered.

"I'm not hungry, you can use it yourself." Huai Sleeve looked at the crescent moon greedy cat, and lovingly retreated all the dumplings to her and said.

"So much, I'm all there to eat? Besides, I'm also touching your light, and you can tell that it was sent to us both by looking at this weight. Eat fast, eat fast, this one is delicious while it's hot! As the crescent moon spoke, four or five dumplings had already been eaten.

The sleeve pushed but let go, and also picked one up and put it in the mouth. Fresh elm money has a natural green and sweet fragrance, with diced shrimp and almost foamed quail meat added in the middle, which is fresh and tender, refreshing but not greasy, just suitable for making snacks in summer.

After feeding the crescent moon of the gluttonous insects, he can only care about talking at this time. With half of the unswallowed dumplings in his mouth, he said, "I'm really lucky this year, I live with Master, and I can get a portion of any delicious food." ”

Huai Sleeve didn't think so, put down the ivory chopsticks and said: "You are the niece of Long Live Lord, and he has not loved you for a day or two, saying such unconscionable words, Long Live Heaven will be sad to hear it!" ”

The crescent moon shook her head again and again: "It's true that Uncle Huang loves me, but he is the emperor, so many people are waiting to see him every day, and the mountains are waiting for him to draw circles, how can he have the heart to send me dumplings, all because I have someone he cares about here." In the end, the crescent moon deliberately lengthened the tail note, squinting at her sleeve and smiling sly.

He only sat quietly, gradually pursing his thin lips and being silent.

***

What the emperor said was Chrysostom, and a word falling on the ground was a golden bean, which made people dare not do it properly without being busy.

Kangxi said that a few days after the painting boat went down to the lake, a delicate two-story painting boat was put on the lake opposite Diyuxuan, and Li Dequan had already come to pass the word in person, saying that he would board the boat to enjoy the lotus flowers the day after tomorrow.

The next day, the net sun and the sky were floating and golden, and the lake was full of silver scales, Kangxi sent Chang Ning and Rong Ruo to accompany them, and the rest did not summon other concubines in the harem except for the crescent moon and the sleeves.
