After dinner, Kangxi ate with great interest.

The rules of the palace, following the Manchu customs, only eat two meals a day, but there will be two small meals after the two main meals, the main meal is just a formality, and it is not eaten, but this small meal, Shangguan Yu invited a few chefs from the local restaurant to take charge, and they are all Mengjiang's specialties, such as tree chickens, forest frogs, etc., as well as mountain vegetables, Kangxi eats with great joy.

suddenly remembered the spicy cabbage that Yugo had made for him, and said to himself: "It's still spicy cabbage that tastes good." ”

The hosta who was waiting for him next to him heard about it and only raised his eyebrows.

Li Lianyun said in his words: "Long live the lord, haven't you eaten enough?" ”

No matter which dish, even if the emperor likes it, he can't eat three bites in a row, this is the rule left by the ancestors, called "eating vegetables is not allowed to be more than three spoonfuls", what the emperor likes to eat or not, it is a very secret thing, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about the meal and harm the emperor, if the emperor praises which dish, after eating, the chief eunuch will order the eunuch to remove, which is called "passing the meal and not persuading the meal", everything is for the emperor's safety.

So Li Lianyun's above words reminded Kangxi that he had called the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to reprimand him fiercely about the spicy cabbage last time, because everyone in the palace knew that the emperor liked to eat spicy cabbage, which was a very dangerous thing, and fortunately, Kangxi had never ordered spicy cabbage since then.

Kangxi understood Li Lianyun's intentions, put aside the spicy cabbage, and said: "The second leader of the wooden gang, you check her background for me." ”

Li Lianyun lowered his head: "Huh." ”

I knew why Kangxi wanted to check the fence, and carefully persuaded: "Miss Luo is in the Mu Gang, and she is still the servant girl of the Li Gang Master, although she is known as the second master, she is just in charge of some complicated trivial matters for the Li Gang, and the slave feels that she is probably from a nearby peasant family, and she is poor, so she was sold to the Li family." ”

The implication is that the fence is not worthy of entering the palace to wait.

The hosta has always been silent, although she knows that she is the queen mother, because she is quiet and well-behaved and sensible, compared to Qi Ge who used to drive, Kangxi likes her very much, just heard Kangxi say that he wanted to check the second leader of the wood gang, she only thought it was a man, after listening to Li Lianyun's words, she understood that the second leader of the wood gang was actually a woman, her hand holding the mouthwash tea shook slightly, but she didn't say anything, she gave the mouthwash tea to Kangxi, and she stood with her hands down.

After Kangxi rinsed his mouth, he glanced at Li Lianyun and said, "When you didn't enter the palace, weren't you also a butcher's son." ”

He is reminding Li Lianyun that your background may not be high, and you are not a close service to the holy driver.

Of course, Li Lianyun understood the meaning of his words, his face was pale, and he smiled: "What the Lord said is very true, the slave is only afraid that the girl is used to the wooden gang, and the thick branches and big leaves are not as ingenious and meticulous as the jade nobles." ”

He tried his best to prevent Kangxi from getting close to Luo Li, and Kangxi also understood that he had good intentions, but he couldn't forget the moment when Luo Li's white hand grabbed his arm, and said, "If you are verbose, I will send you back to the palace." ”

Li Lianyun knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he hurriedly knelt down and said with a crying voice: "If the master sends the slave back, the empress dowager and the empress dowager will take the slave's life." ”

Kangxi snorted: "I know this, don't hurry up and check." ”

Li Lianyun crawled away.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Kangxi laughed.

The hosta brought the dragon well served by the imperial tea room again, and Kangxi waved his hand: "I'm not thirsty yet." ”

The hosta put the tea on the kang table, she knelt down and beat her legs for Kangxi, and said softly: "Long live the Lord is tired today, I heard that the Qinglong River is not close, Long Live Lord went to the water field again, over the mountains and mountains, long live the Lord of Ten Thousand Times, where can I withstand such a toss." ”

Referring to today's events, Kangxi was not less interested, and said happily: "Not only am I not tired, but I also feel light, probably because I saw Ryoma, contaminated with auspicious energy." ”

The hosta's hand was gently pounded from the next night, to the root of Kangxi's thigh, and her hand grabbed Kangxi, and then the fresh breath mixed with mouthwash tea fell on her ears: "It's still early." ”

The hosta blushed, lowered her head, and said shyly: "The concubine has no such intention." ”

Kangxi took her into his arms and smiled: "Obviously, you are deliberate." ”

The hosta's head was against Kangxi's chest, and his voice was as low as a mosquito fly: "Long live Lord Mingjian, the concubine really doesn't have this intention." ”

Kangxi let go of her and said: "What if you have this intention, this is not in the palace, no one will say that you are charming to the Lord, we are husband and wife, and we should be in love." ”

The hosta looked up, hung her head again, and said hesitantly: "The concubine respects the decree of the Empress Dowager, and serves the Lord Banzai with the Holy Driver, but I am afraid that the secret will be neglected and the service will not be thoughtful, otherwise the Lord will not want that girl to serve." ”

Kangxi suddenly turned pale, and finally understood her intentions, picked up the teacup on the kang table and took a sip, then put it down, and said lightly: "The tea is cold, you go and change the cup." ”

The hosta trembled in her heart, knowing that the emperor was unhappy, and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

She retreated, just as the deacon and eunuch came in to report that it was Ba Yi who asked to see her.

Kangxi nodded.

The eunuch went down.

Not long after, Ba Yi came in, and Kangxi waved his hand: "Look down and don't see what you look up, don't make trouble with these false texts, the general has something to do when he sees me?" ”

At this time, Ba Yi has changed into his regular clothes, and he is not so casual as usual, but he is wearing regular clothes with less seriousness and more seriousness in his official robe, and he is a little more bright, and he stands in front of Kangxi majestically, which always makes people feel a sense of depression, so Kangxi stood up and slowly paced on the ground.

Ba Yi slowly followed: "The minister is for the sake of the dragon horse." ”

Kangxi seemed to guess what he wanted to say, but he still pretended not to understand and asked: "What about Ryoma?" ”

Ba Yi said: "That Ryoma thing may be fake. ”

Kangxi looked like this, and just smiled softly: "The general was also on the riverside at the time, did the general feel that the happiness of those people was fake?" ”

Ba Yi's face froze, it turned out that the emperor had seen through this, but the emperor still believed that it was true, and came to Mengjiang with a teacher, probably Ryoma is one thing, and Yuwu is the other aspect, maybe Ryoma is just a reason, Ba Yi also understands what Kangxi means when he says this, Ryoma may be fake, but it is inspiring but it is true, he thought about it and said: "The minister is thinking, this kind of fake atmosphere is not good." ”

Kangxi frowned slightly: "The general is the one who leads the troops to fight, in front of the two armies, what they are talking about is the virtual and the real, and they can win, so why bother with the means, and this means should be called strategy in the military book." ”

Ba Yi wanted to speak and stopped, but after a long time, he finally admonished again: "The minister is only afraid that this kind of atmosphere will spread." ”

Kangxi stopped, looked back at him and smiled: "The general thinks that I am easy to deceive?" ”

Ba Yi could only say: "The emperor is sage." ”

The emperor insisted on confusing the matter of Longma with falsehood, whether the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, Ba Yi was not sure for a while, what should be said was said, what should be done was done, and he had a clear conscience, so he took his leave.
