Chapter 132: Tea Furnace Suspicions
When Princess Crescent Moon saw Concubine Hui, her face was slightly cold and said, "Why does Concubine Hui have time to come to my Diyu Xuan today?" I don't have any good tea here, so I'm going to take a sip. ”
Before the words of the crescent moon fell, a palace maid brought tea and replaced Kangxi's old tea by the way.
"I made honey purple potato cake in the palace, and I walked here just now, and when I saw Li Dequan waiting outside the door, I knew that it was Long Live Lord who came here, and asked someone to get it, let's try it together." Concubine Hui hurriedly defended herself.
The crescent moon didn't move around with Concubine Hui, so he didn't pay attention to her anymore and stood beside his sleeve to watch his hair comb.
The braid has been combed to the end, and the sleeve took the golden luo from Fang Cai to tie the end of the hair carefully, gently pressed the silk hair in Kangxi's neck and asked, "Long live the lord, how does it feel tight?" Or is there something uncomfortable? ”
Kangxi stroked the tight braids and smiled lightly, turned around and looked at his sleeves and said, "Very good, your technique is very comfortable, not loose or tight, just right, I am about to fall asleep." ”
As he was talking, a palace maid walked in with a plate of delicate snacks in the shape of a dark purple five-petal plum blossom in her hand.
Concubine Hui took the saucer and held it in front of Kangxi and said: "This honey purple potato cake was eaten in my palace last time, and I said that I liked it, so I sent someone to pay attention to the good purple sweet potato. ”
The crescent moon likes to eat sweet pastries the most, so she couldn't help pinching a piece and putting it in her mouth, and couldn't help nodding her head again and again: "Well, it's really better than the hibiscus cake I usually eat." ”
Kangxi picked up a piece and tasted it first, and by the way, he brought the food plate to his sleeve, and said in a harmonious voice: "You can taste it too, the taste is very light, not sweet and greasy." ”
Huai Sleeve saw that Kangxi personally held it for himself, so he couldn't refute it, so he had to take a piece.
Kangxi put down the food plate, saw Huai Sleeve take a small bite of purple potato cake, and asked, "Do you like sweets?" ”
Huai Sleeve nodded lightly and said, "I eat some occasionally, but I like to be light on weekdays, and I eat less sweet and greasy food." ”
When the words fell, she suddenly remembered that this was a pastry specially made by Concubine Hui, and for fear that she would misunderstand in her heart, she added: "But this honey purple potato cake is smooth and soft, and Concubine Hui is really smart and virtuous." ”
As soon as these words came out of Concubine Hui's heart, Concubine Hui hurriedly smiled and raised her eyebrows, and said: "As a harem concubine, it is natural to serve the Long Live Lord wholeheartedly, and the health of the Long Live Lord is our blessing, let's just say that you just combed the hair for the Long Live Lord, which should have been what we should do......"
The crescent moon picked up another piece of pastry and chewed it in her mouth, and when she heard Concubine Hui say this, she said, "Ha! Huang Ama's braids were not combed by the harem concubines, which almost delayed the time of the last dynasty, and since then Li Dequan has been asked to do it for him. ”
Kangxi laughed when he heard this, nodded his crescent eyebrows dotingly and said, "This girl has a sharp mouth, and she still can't change it!" ”
When the crescent moon heard these words in Concubine Hui's ears, her face turned crimson.
Kangxi ate two pastries, looked at the sky outside the window and said: "I have been out for a long time, it's time to go back, the crescent moon has been a lot more well-behaved these days, don't go to the front, it seems that the master I invited you this time still has some benefits." ”
The crescent moon stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "In a few days, I will surprise Uncle Huang!" ”
"Oh? Then I'll wait! Kangxi smiled.
After the words fell, Kangxi turned around and said to Huai Sleeve: "Crescent, this girl is a strange elf, she is used to being naughty, you have to worry about it more, if she is disobedient, you can just come and tell me!" ”
He bowed his sleeves and said in response: "The crescent princess is very smart, and she gets along very well with the slaves and maids, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." ”
After Huai Sleeve finished replying, he raised his eyes to face Kangxi's ancient well, but her eyes were like water, but only her shadow was reflected, Huai Sleeve trembled slightly, and quickly turned his gaze to the side.
And Kangxi's eyes looked at his sleeves, but they all fell into Concubine Hui's eyes, Concubine Hui's eyes darkened slightly, and her eyes drooped deeply.
Kangxi wanted to drive back to the palace, but Concubine Hui also left with her, bowing her sleeves to send the emperor and Concubine Hui away.
Concubine Hui's eyes just now, Huai Sleeve also looked in her eyes, and it reminded her of the eyes when she first saw Concubine Hui under the magnolia flowers in the back garden of Cining Palace, and Huai Sleeve inexplicably skipped a light palpitation in her heart.
The sky is clear during the day, and the drizzle drips just after night, and the innocence of summer is like a child's face.
Jian Yue changed a bright candle, pulled out the silver hairpin and removed the wick, and saw Huai Sleeve holding the pen in his hand in a daze, and the ink stained with the pen end fell on the paper one by one, and a large piece of it was smeared.
"Girl?" Jian Yue called softly.
Huai Sleeve came back to his senses, looked at Jian Yue, and saw Jian Yue's eyes fall on the table, Huai Sleeve looked down, put down the pen, and reached out to crumple the paper into a ball and still beside it.
"Recently, the general god has not possessed the body, is it because he is holding things in his heart? I've been looking at this for many days, and I won't ......ask if you don't say it," Jian Yue frowned and looked at the gloom in her eyes.
A soft sigh overflowed from his cuffs: "I just can't figure it out, why ...... it"
Jian Yue asked lightly: "What does the girl don't understand?" ”
As soon as Jian Yue's words fell, the bright candle burst out with a "crackle", and the eyebrows of his sleeves suddenly frowned, looking at the swaying bright candle showing a hint of dominance, and said in a deep voice: "That incident is not an accident, it is clearly for me!" ”
Hearing this, Jian Yue thought for a moment and asked, "What the girl said was about the red clay tea stove at the tea fighting competition that day?" ”
Huai Sleeve nodded slightly.
Jian Yue continued: "Although I didn't go with the girl that day, I heard a lot about the events of the day, and no one in the palace passed it on. ”
Huai Sleeve shook his head and sighed: "I'm not afraid of others chewing their tongues, but I can't understand what happened that day." ”
"What do you suspect about the girl?" Jian Yue asked hurriedly.
"The events of that day, although Rong Ruo later cleared me up the suspicion of the so-called 'obscure star' in those mouths, so that outsiders may seem to be just an accident, but I feel that the events of that day were not accidental, and they were clearly aimed at me."
Jian Yue was also surprised when she heard this, and asked, "How does the girl think so?" ”
Huai Sleeve's eyes were burning, and he said: "I don't know, just one point, when Zhuo Qi stood up and said those words that day, Lord Suo and Lord Chen were all present, and he didn't ask, but why did he single out my brother-in-law?" This was obviously Zhuoqi's intention to show the fairness of what he said that day, but it just revealed that he already knew my net worth well! If I hadn't come prepared, I wouldn't have known that Zhuo Qi, so why would he be like this? So, there must be a side reason behind this matter! ”
Jian Yue also nodded when she heard this: "According to the girl's thoughts, it does seem that someone behind the scenes did it. After that, looking at the sleeves dyed by the candlelight, the delicate face like jade was slightly embroidered.
Jian Yue couldn't help but say: "Girl, I have always wanted to have some things in my heart that I want to take the time to tell you, but I have never found a chance. ”
Huai Sleeve raised his eyes and saw that Jian Yue's eyes were admitted, and reached out to hold it and shook his hand and said, "Sister, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”
Hearing this, Jian Yue patted the back of her sleeve's hand and said slowly: "Since the girl entered the palace, she first won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager, and accompanied her to chant and worship the Buddha every day. Immediately after that, the poem was brilliant, and the emperor personally rewarded the jade Ruyi, which was quite eye-catching, and the palace was already spreading rumors all over the sky, saying that the girl should be summoned into the harem......"
