What fell with Kangxi's words was the snow that began to float in the air at some point.

One by one, it was very finely broken, dangling on the person's hair, hitting the person's shoulder, and finally turning into a very fine drop of water, hidden in the clothes.

The officials standing behind Kangxi suddenly heard that the emperor was in the mood to joke with the Cao family girl, and they were already feeling the favor of the Cao family in their hearts, and they smelled the emperor's tone of concern, so they couldn't help but start to look at Cao Yue secretly.

At this glance, their eyes were a little unable to move, they already knew that there was a young lady in the Cao family, but this young lady was hidden in the mansion by the Cao family as a rare treasure.

Therefore, it was only at this time that they realized that Miss Cao's whereabouts were so good.

Cao Yue didn't notice everyone's scrutiny, so he only said coldly and perfunctorily: "The emperor is wrong, it's just that the wind is blowing in his eyes." ”

After that, she squatted down, and without waiting for Kangxi to agree, she quit and left.

Cao Yin watched Cao Yue leave, and watched the emperor's expression change from quite happy just now to expressionless now, and knelt on the stone road under his feet with a frightened puff: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave's sister was spoiled by her family, and she didn't mean to offend the emperor." ”

At this time, Cao Yin complained bitterly in his heart, accompanying the king like a tiger, the emperor's face was bigger than the sky, Yue'er gave the emperor's face in front of a group of officials, with the emperor's cautious temperament, maybe he was thinking about how to deal with her at this time.

Kangxi was indeed angry by Cao Yue's approach, he raised his eyebrows, the momentum around him spread slightly, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line: "Get up, I won't worry about a woman, but this Cao girl is indeed lacking in rules." ”

The words turned suddenly, Cao Yin's heart that had just been slightly relieved was lifted again, and in the snowflakes in the weather, a thin cold sweat overflowed from the corners of his forehead: "The emperor means ......"

Kangxi ignored him and shouted Liang Jiugong: "Go find a grandmother and send it to Miss Cao." ”

The beauty has some temperament that is not bad, and he has the right to be interesting to him, but if this temperament does not change, when she enters the harem in the future, and she suffers.

While she is still outside the palace, it's good to sharpen her temperament more.

Liang Jiugong took the order and left, Kangxi glanced back at the officials, and walked away: "You all retreat." ”

The officials looked at each other, and then bowed their hands and sent them off: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

When he couldn't see Kangxi's figure, the prefect of Jiangning stepped forward with a smile and touched Cao Yin's shoulder, meaning something: "Lord Cao's luck is really good, with Sister Ling, the future of the Cao family is immeasurable, and the family flag is just around the corner, at that time, Lord Cao, don't forget to bring us colleagues." ”

Cao Yin took out the handkerchief resting on his cuffs and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and laughed dryly: "Lord Luo said that he was laughing, he was laughing." ”

Liang Jiugong's work efficiency was very high, Kangxi had only ordered, but in half an hour, he led the accompanying grandmother selected from the Qianqing Palace to Xiyuan with a few words and a steady manner.

Before stepping into the West Garden, a noisy piano sound came out. The only one who can play the piano in Xiyuan is Miss Cao.

Although Liang Jiugong can't play the piano, the emperor can, serving by the emperor's side, even if he can't play the piano, he can still tell the difference between good and bad.

Yesterday's sound of the piano in the peach forest was melodious and quiet, but the sound of the piano at this moment is very different from yesterday.

After only a short pause outside the West Garden, Liang Jiugong led people into the West Garden.

Everyone in the West Garden knew that Liang Jiugong was the emperor's confidant, so no one dared to stop him, nor did they dare to rush in front of him under Liang Jiugong's nose to report, so they could only watch Liang Jiugong and an elderly grandmother knock twice on the girl's door.

didn't wait for the sound of calling in from inside, Liang Jiugong was not annoyed, and raised his voice outside the door to explain Kangxi's instructions.

The moment the words fell, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and then continued to pluck the strings as if nothing had happened.

With such an atmospheric and cold woman, I can't find a single one in the entire harem.

It was the first time Liang Jiugong had met such a woman, and he didn't even hear a reply.

But he couldn't force himself to break in and force Miss Cao to kneel on the ground to thank him, so he could only give Mama a look and go back to the East Courtyard by himself.

In the room, the noisy sound of the piano continued, but it was not Cao Yue playing the piano, but An Ning was sitting in front of Jiaowei, playing indiscriminately, and Cao Yue was sitting leisurely looking at Sun Tzu's Art of War.

An Ning played for a while, but she couldn't stand the noise she made, so she leaned down to Cao Yue's side and whispered: "Girl, how long will the slave and maid play, don't you feel uncomfortable listening to it?" ”

Cao Yue flipped through the pages of the war book and chuckled: "If you can't stand it, just stop." ”

Anyway, the one who should have heard it has already heard it.

An Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but did not stop for the first time, but covered it up by the sound of the piano, and asked quietly: "Girl, you are so kind to the emperor, but what you say in the book is to get away with it?" ”

"You know again." Cao Yue closed the book and glanced at An Ning helplessly: "But it's not bad if you say that." ”

Hearing this, An Ning twisted her eyebrows and said worriedly: "The slave is not suspicious of the girl, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and the slave is worried that you are so alienated from the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will be displeased." ”

After all, there is no one who does not love face, especially the emperor.

Cao Yue got up and walked to An Ning, bent down and hooked the strings, looking confident: "Don't worry, if the emperor knows the reason for my alienation from the emperor, I'm afraid it's too late for the emperor to be happy, how can he be displeased." ”

His harem concubines all entered the palace for the sake of family status, and in order to give birth to an elder brother to continue the family's connection with the Aixinjue Luo clan, which itself implicated many interests.

If a beautiful woman with good looks and talent suddenly appears at this time, not for fame and fortune, but for him, he doesn't even want him to be an emperor, but only wants him to be an ordinary son, he should be moved.

An Ning suddenly realized, and then turned her head to look outside the door: "Grandma outside the door, do you want to call her in?" ”

Cao Yue exhaled a long breath: "Call in." ”

She thinks that when she has a heart, the rules will not make people find any fault, but that does not include court etiquette, and it is the time for this grandmother to send it.

So he taught Mama to stand outside the door for more than two quarters of an hour, and then she saw the door open from the inside.

Cao Yue straightened the moon-white furry jacket on his body, slowly stood up from the front of the piano, and said, "It's my rudeness, Mama Lao has been waiting outside for a long time." ”

Teach Mama to listen to Liang Jiugong say a few words about this girl's temperament on the way here, and when she knew that this girl even dared to throw her face against the emperor, she knew that this girl was not a good person, so even if she waited outside the door for two quarters of an hour, she was dissatisfied in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it.

The first time I saw this girl after I came in, I felt that my mind was right.

She has been immersed in the palace for many years, and she is used to seeing beauties, even if she is Concubine Wei, who is known as the first beauty in the harem, she can't compare to the Cao girl in front of her, and it's too late to please her, so how can she put on a face.

Teach the grandmother and don't dare: "The old slave came to teach the girl etiquette by the emperor's order, I don't know if the girl is convenient now, let's start here?" ”

Cao Yue bowed her head again, and began to teach the rules little by little.

I don't know if Liang Jiugong ordered it in advance, and the first thing to teach Mama was how to salute and say goodbye when facing the emperor, and how to kneel down and retire.

——————

Kangxi's trip to the south, the schedule is very tight, yesterday to be able to spare time to go out for a day of relaxation is rare, today after the dismissal of the officials who asked for peace, he took the guards out of Cao's mansion, and did not come back until he had dinner outside.

As soon as I returned to the East Courtyard, I saw that Sun was wearing a command suit, standing outside the courtyard in a regular manner, his clothes were slightly wet, and he knew that he had waited for a long time.

Seeing Kangxi coming back from afar, Sun knelt on the ground and asked for peace without any ambiguity: "The old slave asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is saint." ”

This situation and this scene made Kangxi inevitably think of more than 20 years ago, when he was not the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but an unappreciated elder brother under the knee of Huang Ama, when he lived in the elder brother's house, most of the slaves around him were neglected because of his mother and himself, and he was much neglected, only the grandmother and grandmother Sun were very good to him, and asked for warmth.

Every time he came back from school, he could always see Sun's figure welcoming him back outside his brother's office, and this idea was warm, and he had only experienced it in Sun's body.

Later, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and countless people stood outside the door to greet him, but he no longer had the emotion he had when he was in the elder brother's office.

Thinking back, Kangxi stepped forward in two steps, personally bent down to help Sun, and even when he touched Sun's cold clothes, he also ordered someone to add a hand stove to Sun's: "It's cold, how can Mama stand outside." ”

He didn't think that Liang Jiugong would be so blind that he wouldn't invite people in and wait.

Sun had tears in his eyes and looked flattered: "The old slave just wants to wait for the emperor to come back." ”

She deliberately waited here, in order to arouse a little old love in the emperor's heart, so what she had to do next would be much easier.

Kangxi didn't know what Sun was planning in his heart, so after bringing people into the warm pavilion, he gave Sun a seat and asked people to serve hot tea.

Sun did not take his seat as he said, but knelt down again and bowed, his forehead touching the ground: "Your Majesty, the old slave came today to ask for the guilt of the old slave's unconscious daughter." Although the emperor did not blame, the old slave could not act as if nothing had happened. ”

Kangxi didn't take this matter very seriously, not to mention that he also asked someone to send someone to teach Mama to go over, and this matter was over.

He glanced at Liang Jiugong, and after seeing Liang Jiugong help people up and sit on the chair, he said softly: "Didn't I say it, even if this matter is over, why should Mama run tirelessly for this little thing." ”

When the words fell, Sun's expression was slightly embarrassed, and Kangxi knew that Sun came this time, and he should have something else to ask for: "Mama has something to say." ”

"Yes." Sun sneered, hesitated for a long time, got up and knelt down for the third time, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and said: "The old slave does want to ask the emperor for grace, and the old slave wants to ask the emperor to marry the little girl." ”

After a while, the teacup that Kangxi brought to his lips paused, and the smile faded.
