Kangxi accompanied his sleeves to dinner. Drink tea and talk in the study.

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but mention the matter of the concubine's edict.

Kangxi held the tea cup and frothed the tea foam. smiled: "When I named you a concubine. It is also a transgression of canonization. At that time, you were comfortable with it. Why do I hurt you more now? You are cautious. ”

"After all, I was young and vigorous. I don't understand the benefits of being indifferent and clumsy. I want to come today. I don't know how many times it gave you a headache in your back. Huai Sleeve said. I couldn't help but laugh myself.

"I know your mind is all on me right now. Naturally, this matter is also for my sake. can be a concubine. I've made up my mind. That's it. I have my own responsibility for these things. You don't have to think about it that much. ”

Kangxi sat down with his sleeves for a cup of tea. Because it was a great mourning. did not stay in Qingzhi Palace. Tell your sleeves to rest early. So he went back to the Zhaoren Hall to see the excerpts.

Early the next morning. Huai sleeve handed over everything in the palace to Zhang Bao for cooking. Ling Qiuqiu waited and changed into a plain clothes. The jade hairpin rings on the head are replaced with plain silver jewelry. Even the rose-colored brocade tent around Fengluan was also covered with plain brocade. Kowtow to the temporary temple and the spirit of filial piety.

The Temporary Anfeng Hall is located in a slightly off-the-spot location on the west side of the Forbidden City. But it's a very quiet and verdant separate courtyard. Because of Xiaozhuang's favorite three things during his lifetime. The first is to worship the Buddha. The second is to raise flowers. The third is to drink tea.

Kangxi ordered the gardeners in the palace to transplant all the flowers and trees that Xiaozhuang liked during his lifetime. And there were many tea trees planted on the left and right. Order to replace all the incense in the hall with white sandalwood enshrined in the Buddha hall.

When he walked down with his sleeves, he looked around. I can't tell that this is the place where the coffin is enshrined. It is a chicly furnished permanent courtyard.

Chuan Qiu and Qingmei served left and right, and walked to the hall with their sleeves. Here. Two other sedan chairs have been parked in the courtyard.

Walk to the temple with sleeves in your arms. When you look up. Seeing Concubine Hui, who had just finished kowtowing, was slowly lifted up by the palace cardinal. Next to her stood Concubine Lan waiting for incense.

The eyes of the sleeves only swept on Bao Lan. When you turn back again. met Concubine Hui's surprised gaze.

Concubine Hui stepped forward. Salute with the sleeves. The snow-white dragon on his chest slowly drooped. Wai Sleeve was surprised to find. The bottom of Longhua is embroidered with a frightened bird.

He bowed down and said, "Say hello to Sister Huifei with your sleeves." ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly pulled up her sleeves with her own hands. Apologetic.

"I didn't know that you only returned to the palace yesterday, and you came to offer incense this morning. Long live the day before yesterday, there was a message. Say you just returned to the palace. The body still needs to be recuperated. There is no mention of when you will come here to prostrate. I've been even more negligent that you've always been quite polite. Now the edict has been issued. It is reasonable for me to salute. ”

When speaking. Concubine Hui wanted to bow down. The arm was held by the sleeve: "I have not yet performed the canonization gift." Sister doesn't have to be like this. Moreover, even if they bowed. My sister is now a concubine. And I don't have more money than a month. The grade is not bad. ”

Concubine Hui looked down at Long Hua on her chest. smiled lightly: "My sister is still so meticulous." It's the same as your stunning face. It hasn't changed for half a minute since he was in the palace. ”

At this time, Baolan had kowtowed to Xiaozhuang. The palace people walked to the front with the support. When he bowed down, his voice was low and lazy: "The concubine has asked the two concubines to say goodbye." The two concubines are auspicious. "When speaking. Lazily blessed. Nor do I leave it to my heart. Megumi and the others spoke. And he went away.

His sleeves drooped his eyes and his face was expressionless. Concubine Hui only thought she was annoyed. Explained softly: "You know that Concubine Lan's temperament has always been like this. Although she has not been a concubine over the years. In the palace, it is still a dominant family. I'm used to it, too. You just have to bear a little more. ”

Sleeves raised their eyes. The corners of his lips hooked a light smile and asked: "When my sister came, I could see that Concubine De also came to incense." If it hasn't come yet. I'll just wait for her. ”

Listen to her mention the concubine. The smile on Concubine Hui's face froze. remembered Kangxi's dictation. Ordered the palace to block the news. No one is allowed to inform Huai Sleeve of Concubine De's death for the time being.

"Uh...... Long live the Lord sympathetic to Concubine De's weakness. Exempt her from daily incense. ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he didn't say anything else. He saluted with Concubine Hui. Kowtow to the spirit of Xiaozhuang and incense. Just rubbing shoulders with her. Huai Sleeve smelled a somewhat familiar smell of green sandalwood.

Out of the temple of the temporary. Huai Sleeve asked Zhuo Qiu: "After Xilan sealed the concubine." can still live in Xianru Palace. ”

Juanqiu lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look up at his sleeves. He only nodded and said in a low voice: "When the slave maid heard that Concubine De was entitled." Long live the Lord said that he would choose another palace for her. was politely rejected by Concubine De. ”

Huai Sleeve smiled lightly: "Sure enough, she still has this temperament." Nothing at the moment. Let's go ......."

"Master." He didn't finish his words. Suddenly interrupted by Juanqiu.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. I saw that Lian Qiu always lowered his eyebrows. He had a handkerchief in his hand. He seemed very nervous.

"Concubine De, what's wrong with her." Huai Sleeve's voice was faint. Can't hear emotions. Juanqiu shook his body. He didn't say anything for a long time.

The green plum next to it saw this. hurriedly came over and said: "Juanqiu is worried that the little master is going back to the palace today." The mother still ...... earlier."

Huai sleeve raised his hand to stop Qingmei's words. Ignore the two of them. He turned and walked out of the temple.

Qingmei and Juanqiu glanced at each other. Everyone knows that this time must not be able to hide this master. You have to go on this trip with your sleeves. I don't know how the two of them will be severely punished when they learn about it.

Luan, who had sleeves, drove all the way to Xianru Palace. Just stepped up the steps. He raised his head. I saw the plaque directly above the palace gate. A bunch of white silk flowers.

Two white bands that floated down. Hung long. The wind blows gently and flutters. Contrast with the surrounding landscape. It looks particularly desolate and sad.

He looked at the white silk flowers on the lintel. Half a day. looked sideways at Lian Qiu beside him: "This ...... What's going on. ”

Lianqiu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Biting her lip to death. Tears flowed first. Sleeves turned to the other side to look at the green plum. Seeing that Qingmei also lowered her eyebrows.

Step up the stairs. He raised his palms and clasped the gate of Xianru Palace. A pair of bronze beast rings were jingled to the ground.

The deadbolt inside slowly opened. The vermilion gate was half opened. Silver Ling'er, dressed in snow-white mourning clothes, came out of it with red and swollen eyes.

At first sight, it was a sleeve. Silver Ling'er's legs were weak. Fell to his knees and wept silently.

Huai Sleeve didn't care to ask any more questions. Stride into the Xianru Palace. Entered the main hall. At a glance, I saw a Shoushan wooden coffin parked in the center of the main hall.

Looking at the coffin with his sleeves in his arms. Step by step, step by step. Stopped in front of the coffin. He said in a deep voice: "Pry it open for the main palace." ”

The surrounding palace people were all shocked when they heard it. Chuan Qiu and Qingmei were stunned and didn't know how to deal with it. Silver Bell knelt down in front of her sleeve. said in a trembling voice: "Mother." The master and her have gone west. Niangniang, please mourn ......"

Huaisleeve bowed his head. Dingding looked at the silver bell: "Who told you that?" Hongu didn't see it with his own eyes. I can't count. ”

Let's talk about it. Said to the palace people outside the door: "Come on." Pry open the coffin for the main palace. Violators will be beheaded. ”
