After serving Cao Yue with hard work, Kangxi put the person on the bed again, and after taking a bowl of bird's nest porridge sent from the small kitchen and feeding Cao Yue personally, he hastily ate two bites of breakfast, and then saw Liang Jiugong come in to report: "Emperor Qi, Lord Feiyangu, Lord Cao and others are already waiting in the study of the East Courtyard." ”

Kangxi picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips, got up and walked to Cao Yue's side, and thoughtfully pulled the small blanket on Cao Yue's body up: "I still have something to do, you have a good rest." By the way, I ordered the minions in your yard to start packing up the cage boxes, and they will leave Jiangning in two days. ”

The snow had stopped, and it was time for him to continue his original plan for a southern tour.

Cao Yue was not surprised, but her red face showed a little reluctance at the right time: "Concubine knows." ”

It's really reluctant to leave Jiangning, where I have lived for more than ten years.

Seeing this, Kangxi wanted to say something, but seeing Liang Jiugong's anxious expression, Kangxi had no choice but to swallow his words and turn to leave.

As soon as the emperor left the West Garden, the imperial guards outside the West Garden also followed, and the West Garden suddenly became empty.

Cao Yue's smile disappeared, quickly lifted the blanket and lay down on the bed, and shouted An Ning: "Let's do it." ”

An Ning pursed her lips white, even though she didn't understand what Cao Yue was thinking in her heart, she still didn't ask a word, and pressed her hand a few acupuncture points under Cao Yue's lower abdomen.

It wasn't until he felt a stickiness under his body that Cao Yue asked An Ning to stop with a white face.

In fact, the best time is after bedtime, when kneading the acupuncture points is more effective, but unfortunately I didn't find a chance last night, so I can only make up for it now, I hope she won't get pregnant at this time.

An Ning felt distressed for a while, pinched the silk and carefully wiped the fine sweat next to Cao Yue's sideburns: "The girl doesn't have to suffer this crime at all." ”

Cao Yue looked at the plain tent with only some dark lines and smiled: "These sins must be endured." ”

She won't use the avoidance soup, because no matter how gentle the avoidance soup is, it will spoil her body after drinking it for a long time, and she only has a meager freshness between her and the emperor now, and there is no deeper feeling, which is really not a good time to get pregnant.

When she really has a little place in his heart, she will let her child be born in the expectation of her parents.

After slowing down for a while, after cleaning up, Cao Yue stretched out her hand and asked An Ning to help her up and lean back against the head of the bed: "Tell me to go down and start tidying up the cage box." But before you get it right, you go to the East Courtyard and ask Liang Jiugong what things are taboo and can't be brought into the palace, and how many things I can bring. ”

"Yes."

Because she knew the movements of Xiyuan, the old lady Sun did not come to Xiyuan early in the morning, but waited until more than an hour before dinner.

In addition to continuing to talk about those palace curtains and secrets to Cao Yue, it is to remind Cao Yue to prepare a meeting gift for the most important empress dowager in the palace.

Sun sat on the embroidered stool in front of Cao Yue's bed, and said with a serious expression: "The Empress Dowager is the emperor's grandmother, and she has nurtured, taught and supported the emperor since she was a child, and the emperor has special respect for the Empress Dowager, and will not go against the will of the Empress Dowager easily, so after you enter the palace, you also need to please the Empress Dowager, even if you can't make the Empress Dowager love you, but you can't be disgusted with you, otherwise your life in the palace will become extremely difficult." ”

Cao Yue listened to it in her heart, and solemnly bowed her head: "Does my mother know more about the Empress Dowager?" It's better to tell your daughter one by one, so as to avoid your daughter committing taboos in the future. ”

She has already had the intention to enter the palace, but now she still understands the situation in the palace more or less, but she only knows some things on the surface, and she doesn't know much about things in secret.

As for the Empress Dowager, when Cao Yue first found out, she felt a wave of disgust and dislike in her heart, not for anything else, just because the life of the Empress Dowager was too similar to Empress Lu.

is not favored by the husband, watching the husband love her, and it is also the son who ascends the throne and becomes the final winner.

Cao Yue lowered his eyes, focusing on two things, while comparing the similarities between the two in his heart, while listening to Sun talk about what he didn't know.

“...... All in all, the Empress Dowager is a woman of great wisdom. ”

Speaking of this, Sun paused: "It's just that when I was in the palace, I heard some rumors in private, but there is no evidence. ”

Cao Yue's spirit was shocked: "What? ”

After thinking about it, Sun approached Cao Yue and whispered in Cao Yue's ear: "Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother, went, and then there was a faint rumor in the palace that the Queen Mother was killed by the Queen Mother, and the purpose was to make the Queen Mother the only Queen Mother." ”

"I don't know if the emperor is clear about this matter, but I know that not long after, the emperor ordered someone to seal Jingren Palace."

Cao Yue covered the stove in her hand, and moved her still sore body uncomfortably, her eyes were dim: "Some things may not be groundless, and the emperor may not be unaware, maybe for the sake of their own face, just cover it." ”

Sun nodded: "That's true, I remember that the emperor gave you Jingren Palace to live, this is a favor, but if you don't grasp it well, it will become a deadly knife, you must be careful." ”

The worry and haggard in Sun's eyes couldn't be stopped, Cao Yue's eyebrows bent, and she leaned her head on Sun's shoulder: "Mother relax, when her daughter comes out in the future, she will definitely earn a life for you." ”

Although it was a comforting word, Sun's eyes were still red: "My son is filial." ”

After talking about the things in the womb for a while, Sun instructed Cao Yue to prepare a meeting gift for the concubines in the palace, and for a while, the house was full of Cao Yue's treasures, embroideries and famous paintings that Cao Yue had collected in the treasury in previous years.

The little maids unfolded the famous paintings and embroidery so that Cao Yue and Sun could make a better choice.

After looking at dozens of objects, Cao Yue selected two similar ones: "How about these two?" ”

The little maids hurriedly put out the two embroideries that Cao Yue pointed out separately.

Sun took a look and saw two embroideries, one was an embroidered horse, and the other was also a horse, the only difference was that one picture was hunting on the grassland, and the other was an image of what ceremony was held on the grassland.

Sun didn't have much knowledge, so he didn't know where these two paintings came from, so he said: "This is so similar, is it appropriate to give it to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager?" ”

After all, the status of the empress dowager is higher, so naturally the gifts given to her should be more valuable.

Cao Yue doesn't like the Empress Dowager who she has never met, so naturally she won't pay much attention to preparing gifts, but she doesn't make mistakes on the big picture, and it seems that she just does what she likes.

Therefore, Cao Yue pretended not to understand Sun's words, and said worriedly: "My daughter also heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are from the Horqin Grassland, so she is ready to find out the embroidery embroidered in the early years from the warehouse, which should be appropriate." Did my mother think something was wrong? ”

"What's wrong?"

Before Cao Yue's words fell, Kangxi still didn't call anyone, and stepped into the bedroom.

Everyone in the room was shocked, and hurriedly saluted to say goodbye, Cao Yue also sat up with his body propped up, and wanted to get off the ground after a while.

Kangxi strode up to Sun and helped Sun up, stopped Cao Yue from getting up, sat on the edge of the bed and hugged the person into his arms: "If you are unwell, don't toss anymore." ”

Cao Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, thank you for the emperor's compassion." ”

Seeing her like this, Kangxi subconsciously stroked his fingers, and was in a very good mood: "What are you talking about with Mama just now?" There are so many things in the house, I almost have nowhere to put my feet when I come in. ”

Seeing Kangxi's attitude, Sun's heart relaxed a little, and he didn't answer, just watching him get along with Cao Yue.

Cao Yue frowned and said in a tangled way: "The concubine was originally choosing gifts for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and it took a long time to choose two pairs of embroidery, but my mother said that the two embroideries were too similar and slightly inappropriate." ”

Saying this, Cao Yue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the emperor did not let people report the problem of coming in anytime and anywhere, it really scared the person, it seems that even in private in the future, you have to pay attention to proportion.

Kangxi followed Cao Yue's words and turned his head to look at the embroidery that had been unfolded by the maid, and said in surprise: "This is what you embroidered?" ”

The two pairs of embroidery with such fine workmanship may take a lot of time.

Cao Yue hummed lightly and explained: "It was embroidered by the concubine a few years ago, and at that time, the concubine's body was finally recuperated a lot, but the mother was still strict, and the concubine was not allowed to touch the horse, so the concubine had to embroider the horse out and have a good time." ”

And these two pictures are reproduced little by little by her famous paintings, and it is also a waste of her own thoughts.

"I see." A trace of doubt dissipated in Kangxi's eyes, and he praised with a smile: "Yue'er's craftsmanship is so exquisite, when will she embroider something for me?" ”

"Then the emperor will give advice to the concubine first, and in return, the concubine will embroider a purse for you."

Kangxi lowered his head, looking at the distant mountains he personally painted for her in the morning, his eyebrows rose slightly, and he looked like he had taken advantage of it, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Yue'er said so, I should do it." ”

"According to me, these two pictures are Yue'er's heart, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will naturally like it."

With Kangxi's words, Cao Yue seemed to have a Dinghai God Needle, patted her chest with her little hand, and was very relieved: "Then the concubine will rest assured." ”

didn't have a word of doubt, and the complete trust made Kangxi feel happy, and lowered his head and rubbed the top of Cao Yue's hair: "Have you had dinner?" ”

Cao Yue shook her head, and said sweetly casually: "The concubine wants to wait for you together, so ......"

Kangxi was very useful to Cao Yue's stickiness, and immediately shouted out Liang Jiugong to pass the meal, and then looked at the Sun family, who was ignored by the two: "Mama also stays to eat with me and Yue'er." ”

Sun was very flattered, but he still refused such a favor after measuring: "Thank you for the emperor's love, but there are still some trivial matters in the old slave's yard that have not been dealt with, and it is inconvenient to leave a nuisance, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." ”

Kangxi didn't force it, after all, he didn't like to have others by his side when he got along with Concubine Zhao, so when Sun asked to retire, he readily agreed.

After Sun left, Kangxi found that Cao Yue's mood was very low: "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Cao Yue seemed to be trying her best to endure her emotions, but her trembling voice betrayed her: "As long as the concubine thinks of entering the palace with you in the future, she doesn't know when she will be able to see her mother, and her heart will be sad." ”

In the two lives combined, Sun is the only one who does not mix any interests and is sincere to her.

Kangxi couldn't see that no one was crying sadly in his arms, so he hurriedly promised: "Don't be sad Yue'er, when I have a southern tour in a few years, I'll take you with me, okay?" ”

At this moment, only this sentence can comfort Cao Yue.

Cao Yue squeezed out a smile for face, leaned into Kangxi's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay." ”
