Quiet, the atmosphere is good, and it also raises people. He only smiled, looked at me carefully with a pair of clear eyes, and said for a moment: "I see that your complexion has improved a lot, it should be very good." ”

"It's not a serious illness, it's just that the concubine herself is weak. Now with the blessing of the emperor, it will naturally get better faster. ”

Dorgon just looked at me and smiled, his eyes lingering. I saw that his smile was quite strange, and I was puzzled, and at a glance I saw Ruyi standing beside him blushing and pursing his lips and smiling, and suddenly my heart brightened, and I couldn't help but feel like a fire on my face, and the roots of my ears were like being immersed in boiling water.

Seeing that I was shy, Dolgon smiled and said, "I can't put it down when Allure is shy." ”

I thought of the palace maid and eunuch standing on the side, and I was busy withdrawing my hand, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, ......"

His smile was even stronger, "What are you afraid of?" ”

I looked back, and at some point they had retreated outside the hall, standing with their backs to us. Dorgon took my hand and stood up, gently hugging me into his arms. There was a good smell of ambergris between his clothes, mixed with the bitter smell of Rui Nao incense, and the strange and strong smell of a man in his prime, which made me curious and indulged. His breath was warm around his neck, a little damp and hot, like wearing only light clothes in the summer.

Outside the window, the branches of the begonias were full of crimson that was waiting to be spoiled, and Dolgon quietly embraced me. The time is warm, and the window screen in Yingxin Hall is newly replaced with a Jiangning weaving ritual tribute with a rain-swept azure cicada wing veil, hazy as smoke, and the warm wind blows the light curtain slightly bulging like a girl's smiling cheeks. The sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was like a very intimate whisper. The voice was so far away, as if it was on the other side of the unreachable shore, gently calling to me. Although I am bold and unrestrained, at this time I only feel a little softness in my palm spreading to my body, and the blank space in my mind is joyful, surging with hot sweetness, I just want to close my eyes and indulge in it, and I am reluctant to let go.

When Dolgonfu left, Ruyi walked up to me and whispered: "I heard that the honoring room said that the master's green head card has been prepared, it seems that the emperor means that the master will be sleeping in a few days." After that, he saluted with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the master." ”

I blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense." "The wind in the courtyard lifted the corners of my skirt and fluttered like a butterfly. I wrapped my fingers around the belt of my clothes and stood for a long time before I whispered, "Should I go and say hello to the queen?" ”

Ruyi said softly: "Since the emperor has not ordered it to come down, the master does not have to go for the time being, so as to avoid a lot of trouble." After thinking about it, he said: "Since the emperor has ordered the worship room, the queen must have known that according to the rules, the master will go to see the queen early the next morning." ”

I said "En" and said slowly: "The wind is blowing." Let's go inside. ”

In the next few days, the emperor would always come over to talk to me every now and then, or to have tea or poetry, but he never mentioned that I should be bed. I only pretended not to know, and talked freely with him.

When I woke up that morning, I smelled a fragrant fragrance of flowers, as if it was the fragrance of the Xifu begonia outside the hall when it opened, but through the heavy curtains, it was the first flower, how could the fragrance come in? It's mostly an illusion, just the smell of incense. When he got up and sat in front of the mirror to freshen up, he casually asked Azhu: "Has the begonia in front of the hall opened?" ”

Ah Zhu said with a smile: "The master is really like a god, and he knew that the begonias had bloomed before he left the room." The slave and maid also got up early in the morning to see her. ”

I turned around and wondered, "Is that really the case?" I'm just asking casually. If it is really opened, it cannot be denied. ”

After finishing dressing and changing, I went out and saw that the begonias had bloomed, and the flowers that bloomed were like small snowflakes, but the snow was crimson, slightly transparent, and shining. Suddenly, at that moment, a little omen-like joy suddenly surged in my heart, and I said with a smile: "It's not in vain that I have a red candle shining every day, and I finally urged the flowers to bloom." ”

At dusk, I was sitting under the window, and the fragrance of the begonia tree outside the window was intoxicating.

The inner eunuch came in with hurried and unchaotic steps, his voice was respectful but steady, and he said: "The emperor's decree is to give Concubine Rui a bath in the spring dew pool." The head of Yonghe Palace, An Ruyi, accompanied him. "Following the usual order to thank you, Ruyi and I glanced at each other, knowing that this was a precursor to sleep. The inner supervisor who passed the decree politely said to Ruyi: "Please Anshun people hurry up and clean up for the master, the sedan chair is already waiting outside the palace gate." ”

The spring dew pond is built with Khotanese white jade. Lead the Meishan hot spring near the palace garden into the pool, and add early morning dew. In order to seek immortality, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once built an immortal jade plate to accept the dew from the sky, which was called "fairy dew". Hence the name "Spring Dew Pool", meaning than the realm of immortals. The bathing spring dew pool is a great honor for the concubines.

The spring dew pool is divided into three soups, which are the places where the emperor, the queen and the concubines bathe. The "lotus soup" used by the emperor is a white jade dragon head, and the bottom of the pool is carved with a lotus pattern of ten thousand leaves; The "peony soup" used by the queen is a jasper phoenix half, and the bottom of the pool is carved with a thousand leaf peony pattern; The "Begonia Soup" used by the concubines entered the water where three green jade luanbird busts.
