Chapter 84: Sleeping (1)
Yunxi, who had had dinner, originally wanted to practice calligraphy for a while and then read the book and rest, but who knew that this calligraphy was only halfway through, so she saw Mama Xu walk in with a happy face, saying that the emperor had turned over her brand.
Yunxi looked stunned, she thought about going to bed, but she never thought that everything would come so quickly?
Seeing Yunxi's sluggish appearance, Mama Xu couldn't help but wonder, in this palace, she is not afraid of many things, she is afraid of not being favored. She has been waiting for the concubine for so many years, and she has seen a lot of ups and downs of the harem concubines, the scenery is infinite when she is favored, and the embarrassment and loss when she falls out of favor. Now, if your own master can be favored, then find a way to get this favor, and even keep this favor, not to mention being favored, at least to occupy a place in the emperor's heart.
Yunxi's brain is a little wooden, and he can't turn a corner for a while, but fortunately, Mama Xu is a person who has passed things, and her hands and feet are neat, and she will dress Yunxi again in a moment, and when Yunxi sits in the sedan chair to pick up people, Mama Xu hurriedly went to Liu Renzhong and stuffed a silver ticket in her hand, "Please give more guidance to Grandpa Liu." ”
"Your Excellency is gracious. "Liu Renzhong is the eunuch in charge of the respectful room, and he is not less scolded on weekdays, but he knows in his heart that there are countless people in this palace who want to replace him, so he acts quite cautiously, he is not ambiguous at all when he should receive it, and he does not touch what he should not receive.
Yunxi was apprehensive in her heart, don't look at her for two lifetimes, but she is not familiar with the affairs of men and women, but she knows in her heart that this kind of matter should not be sooner rather than later. If she is really forgotten by the emperor, I am afraid that she will have a really hard time in the future.
When it comes to the end, you can only bite the bullet.
The road from Yanxi Palace to Qianqing Palace is not far, but in two quarters of an hour, the sedan chair will fall to the ground.
In addition to Mama Xu, there was also Qiaoying, the palace maid who was assigned to her. Mama Xu was originally an old man in the palace, and the rules in the palace were familiar and sophisticated, as for Qiaoying, they were all just assigned to Yunxi's side, not to mention all kinds of temptations, there are still one or two tests for this, and now is the time to test Qiaoying.
The front hall of the Qianqing Palace is a place for the emperor to deal with government affairs, and the concubines cannot enter at will without permission, and the apse is the place where the emperor rests at night and summons the concubines, so Liu Renzhong directly led her to the apse.
Because she had to bathe and change clothes before going to bed, Yunxi didn't have too many ideas, and followed Liu Renzhong all the way, and when she raised her head again, she found that she didn't go to the side hall, but came to the front of the main hall of the apse?
"Father-in-law, aren't we going to go to the side hall to shower and change clothes first?" Yunxi had a confused expression, obviously unable to react.
"If you go back to the nobles, this is all the emperor's order, please go in first!" Liu Renzhong bowed his body and said respectfully.
Yunxi stood in front of the hall and hesitated for a moment, then walked inside, and when he entered the door, he saw a eunuch wearing a six-grade python satin suit greeted him and said to her: "The slave Li Dequan has asked the nobles for peace." ”
Yunxi had asked people to inquire about the names of the eunuchs in each palace before, and they didn't mean anything else, just to prevent them from meeting and not knowing people, and offending people for no reason. In this palace, there is no so-called gentleman's theory, and it is power and power. Yunxi is not ambitious, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, and even if Yunqi suffers retribution, isn't Bayan still alive and well, thinking about how to run for his bright future?
Such a man, as long as he has the opportunity, will climb up by any means. But she doesn't want him to have any wishful thinking, whether it's marriage or future, he can ruin her and her children for his so-called future and true love in his last life, so in this life, if she has the ability, she doesn't blame her for being ruthless, let him also taste what desperate pain is.
Of course, all of this is based on her high enough position and stable status, so she still has to fight for what she should fight.
Li Dequan is only in his early twenties now, not very old, handsome, articulate, and every gesture makes people feel like being praised, no wonder after Liang Jiugong was later given to the prince, it was Li Dequan who came up instead of others.
"The emperor is waiting for the nobles inside, please inside. Li Dequan smiled and took two steps forward, leading Yunxi inside.
Looking at the scenery, these people in front of the emperor actually have to act more cautiously than others, otherwise they will take a wrong step and lose not only their faces, but also their lives.
Yunxi saw that the people in front of the palace were waiting in front of the door, so she naturally didn't want to ask Mama Xu and them to follow in, and ordered the two to wait outside, so she followed Li Dequan to the palace.
How is the front hall of the Qianqing Palace, Yunxi is not clear, and the information seen in later generations can no longer see the former gorgeousness, and now she has not seen it with her own eyes, so it is not easy to evaluate. However, in this apse alone, the place is wide and gorgeous, compared with the grace and luxury shown by the harem concubines, the Qianqing Palace shows a deep atmosphere.
When I stepped into the inner hall, I looked at the eunuchs and palace maids standing on the left and right, all of them with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and I knew that those who could be picked out to serve in the Qianqing Palace were all well-behaved.
Li Dequan walked to the bead curtain on the east side, then stopped autonomously, made a thousand punches at Yunxi, and motioned her to go inside.
Yun Xi was relieved, nodded at Li Dequan, and stepped forward to open the curtain and walk inside. Li Dequan waited outside the bead curtain, like a piece of wood, motionless.
Behind the bead curtain is the east room, the area and furnishings are not much different from those in the concubine palace, at most the place is larger, and the dress is more gorgeous.
Yunxi looked up, only to see Kangxi sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a fold in one hand and a red pen in the other, it seemed that he was dealing with government affairs? But what really made Yunxi feel strange was that she felt that the person in front of her was a little familiar, don't look at it from her angle, she could only see one and a half sides of the other party.
Yunxi had doubts in his heart, and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start, Lianbu moved lightly, and before he took a few steps, he met a pair of smiling Danfeng eyes, and in an instant, Yunxi exclaimed, "Ai Gongzi!"
Kangxi looked at her with a stunned expression, with a smile in his eyes, stretched out his hand and beckoned to her, and said softly: "It's me." ”
Yunxi took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and leaned over to salute and greet him, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace." ”
"Come here. Kangxi glanced at her, his thin lips were slightly opened, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, but the words he said had a hint of domineering that could not be questioned.
This is not the first time he has been alone with Yunxi, but every time they meet, the little girl in front of him can give him different feelings. From the calm and calm of the first meeting to the calm and indifference of goodbye, she still did not disappoint him at this time.
The girl stood in front of him in a regular manner, her eyes drooping slightly, her posture elegant, her expression calm and calm, as if she had guessed everything except for the initial hint of surprise.
Not arrogant or impatient, calm as ever, quite a demeanor of everyone.
I just don't know if her composure comes from trust in him, or is the ignorant fearless? Thinking of this, Kangxi suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him was more interesting.
How could he have thought that women were useless except to pass incense and solve physical needs?
Also, the women in this harem are the same, no matter how high or low their status is, the purpose is the same. said that he loved him, but in fact, he tried every possible way to climb up through him. It was the original Empress Hesheri, even if he suppressed the desire in his heart, he couldn't stop the greed in his eyes. If it weren't for that, how would he have given her all the trust that would have caused him to lose so many children?
After others thought that he loved Chongyuan, he actually hated this poisonous woman, but he had to choose to compromise for the sake of the reputation of the royal family and the stability of the government. It can be said that Kangxi's situation is subtly similar to Yunxi in a certain aspect, but his identity is higher than Yunxi, and his choices are more than Yunxi.
Tanzhesi and his entourage made Kangxi make up his mind to protect this little girl, he thought that he did it, mostly because of the grace of saving his life, and then because of her extraordinary beauty, now seeing that he actually looked at her differently when he met for the first time.
Look at her calm and calm appearance, no wonder these days after entering the palace, whether it is the old man in the palace or the newcomer who has entered the palace, one by one in order to get his favor, there are all kinds of tricks, but this little girl, these days after entering the palace, there has been no movement at all.
"Sit. Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Kangxi's mouth deepened.
Yunxi thanked him, but found that there were neither chairs nor embroidered piers around, and the only vacant position was the couch next to Kangxi, with his eyebrows slightly raised, and then took two steps forward and slowly sat down beside Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at Yunxi next to him, and then looked at her slightly detached attitude, he couldn't help but put down the fold and the red pen in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly cold, obviously dissatisfied with her performance.
"How are you doing in the palace these days? What difficulties have you encountered?" Kangxi turned his head to look at her, and between his eyes, the distance between the two suddenly narrowed.
The moment Yunxi looked up, he found that the distance between the two was so close, and his body moved back slightly, before he said, "Xie Ai...... The emperor cares, and everything is fine with the concubines. ”
Yunxi bit her lip, although she changed her words in time, she knew in her heart that many things had been foreshadowed, but she didn't pay attention to it.
Ai Gongzi, love Gongzi, yes, take Ai (Ai) as the surname, it is indeed more convenient to act outside, not to mention the scene at that time, Kangxi was not allowed to report his home.
Kangxi looked at her expression and stretched out his hand in front of her, "Is it really good?" Yunxi looked at the palm in front of him, although he didn't understand the meaning of his words, he put his small hand into his big palm.
"Alright, I'll put it another way. Kangxi stared at her tightly, "What do you think about entering the palace, I don't want to listen to that nonsense, but I want to hear your true words." ”
