Chapter 23
The stuffy Xi put away the paper and asked someone to prepare hot water. After soaking comfortably for half an hour, he was ready to go back to his room for bed.As soon as she went back, she saw Yinfeng wearing a blue satin ermine casual jacket sitting under the lamp, holding her used brush and writing intently on a booklet. When she left, the candle on the candlestick was just burning. Yinfeng replaced it with a new one. Judging by the height of the candle, he must have been sitting there for a long time.
Under the candlelight glowing with warm yellow halo, Yin Reng's exquisite face looked very soft, he lowered his head slightly, his radiant eyes were as bright as stars, he focused on the paper in front of him, the hand holding the pen was firm and strong, white and slender There is an emerald ring on her finger, which is elegant and simple, very beautiful.
It was only then that Xi Ze really felt that she was going to live with this person in the future.If he left quietly, she would be disappointed, but when he came back, she would be happy.They are closely related to each other, honor and loss, from the moment her name was written on the jade document, they are already doomed to go on this road to the end.
Yinfeng heard the sound, looked up at her and said: "You go to bed first, I still have a while."
Xi responded, went up to grind a new pot of ink for him, and then went into the room, leaned on the couch and touched a book to read.
After about an hour, there was a faint sound of the door outside, and Yuan Mu whispered, and then there was another sound of the door opening and closing, and the outside was quiet again.
Xi was a little sleepy, still holding on to his drooping eyelids and waiting.
Not long after, Yinfeng came in. With one hand behind his back, he walked to the couch and coughed lightly.Xi hurriedly cheered up, sat upright, and was about to stay on the bed and undress Yinfeng.
Yinfeng sat on the side of the couch and stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'll do it myself, you're not busy." Then he stretched out his hand behind his back, and put a small blue and white porcelain vase in his palm. Feeling unnatural, he said, "Here, just pick a little and rub it there, it won't hurt anymore."
Xi Ze still didn't understand, looking at Yinfeng's increasingly embarrassed face, his face suddenly felt hot as if it was burning, he squeezed the small porcelain bottle, quickly stuffed it under the pillow, and said falteringly: "knew……"
"Yeah." Yinreng frowned at Zhang Jun's face, stood up, went to Xici Room to undress and wash, and then came back and lay down beside the stream.
All night without incident.
In the morning of the second day, Xi Ze drank a cup of golden jujube tea and Li Jiashi came. She came eagerly, and could not hold back her eyes to look inside.Xi just didn't know, talked to her kindly and asked her to go back.
Li Jiashi came here on foot, hoping to see the Crown Prince, but unfortunately the Crown Prince has not come out, the Crown Princess issued an order to evict her, she had no choice but to wait until tomorrow to come back.Li Jiashi looked inside with nostalgia in his eyes, and left with a little reluctance, a series of continuous movements and eyes down, as if the princess was not virtuous and deliberately prevented her from meeting the prince.
Hua Yin looked at Li Jia's cute and pitiful little face as if she had been wronged by the sky, and felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly, and then glanced at Xi Ze worriedly, seeing that her expression was as usual, she was relieved I breathed a sigh of relief.Is there any way, people came first, and they were gifted by Kangxi, Xi can neither drive them away, nor push Yinfeng to her, so he can only make her sick, at most, out of sight up.
Xi felt that if he wanted to live well in a place like the Qing Dynasty, he had to be able to be content and happy, to be calm, to be able to block out what he didn't want to see, and to think more about those happy things.In these two aspects, she still needs to work hard.
After watching Li Jiashi retreat, Xi asked, "Is the crown prince awake?"
A delicate-looking court lady replied: "Not yet."
Since Yinreng came across, he started at Yinshi every day. When he was not studying, he had to go to Kangxi on time to greet him. At Maoshi, he went to Qianqingmen to listen to the government. He didn't sleep halfway. He didn't have anything to do today, so he planned to relax. I fell into a deep and fragrant sleep, and it was almost early morning and I still haven't woken up.
Xi Ze also thought of his hard work on weekdays. Anyway, today is just some idle business, so he let him sleep more, and said: "Remove the breakfast and heat it up."
When Yinfeng woke up, it was late in the morning, stretched his waist, and thought about it, the next time he can sleep so happily, I don’t know when it will be, if only he can kiss Xi Ze every other month. ...
This day passed very peacefully, the two of them walked around the Yuqing Palace, and decided on a few places in the Qingxi Palace that needed to be changed, so they could be repaired and moved in.
The next day, Yinreng went to greet Kangxi with a red face, Kangxi looked him up several times, and said again with a smile that if you get married, you are an adult, so be good.A look of relief.
In a few days it will be Chinese New Year, and Xi moved into Qingxi Hall on the first day of February.
On the seventh day of February, Kangxi visited Jidian, accompanied by the crown prince Yinfeng, eldest elder brother Yinfeng, and fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
When the emperor was not in the capital, the concubines in the palace were much freer, and they stayed longer when they went to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects every day.Xi followed Yinreng's instructions to deal with these mothers and concubines. After several months, she concluded that she was similar to Yinreng, but if she really wanted to find the most reliable one among the three concubines, she would be Concubine Tong. The first cousin of Kangxi, the younger sister of Empress Xiaoyi, is more honorable than others, Kangxi respects her very much; secondly, she has no children, so it is inevitable that she has to find a support among many elder brothers, and these elder brothers The most ideal among them is naturally Yinfeng, who is currently in a very stable position and has no mother-in-law, and Qixi knows that Concubine Tong has never been pregnant until her death; Taking pictures of the six palaces, the same position as the deputy queen.
Judging from the current situation, Concubine Yinfeng and Concubine Xi are getting closer. Concubine Xi is naturally the most honorable in the harem at the moment, and she has an older brother, so she can take advantage of this to build a friendly relationship with Elder Brother Ten, killing two birds with one stone. The concubine's cooperation is destined not to last long, because she will pass away in a few years.
"It's getting warmer day by day. The Empress Dowager likes to look at peonies. The concubines just want to hold a flower viewing party near the Wanchun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden? There are colorful stone pavements, simple and unique, with various colors. Isn't the delicate and charming peony beautiful?" The one who spoke was Imperial Concubine Xi, she was quiet and delicate, tender and graceful, and she was not slow or hasty when she spoke, and she had a graceful demeanor.
Xi was very sympathetic, such a delicate and beautiful woman will wither in a few years, there are still many such women in this palace, in the best years of their lives, they fell silently into mud, leaving only a title or no title at all , No one remembers like it disappeared.And she couldn't remember why Concubine Xi passed away, and she couldn't even remind her.
The Empress Dowager was very interested, she got up and said, "That's a good idea, and Rangxi will pick out the flowers with you. She knows what I like best."
"Of course the Crown Princess is indispensable." Before Xi Ze could speak, Concubine Hui laughed and said, "I'm afraid there is no one in this palace who can understand the temper of the Empress Dowager better than the Crown Princess." These words were intended to provoke Xi Ze Firstly, she said that it would be bad to enjoy the flowers, but it was Xi's fault. Second, Xi was so embarrassing in front of the empress dowager that some people were jealous.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell she made up her mind, but Xi Ze sneered in her heart, and simply closed her mouth, smiling gently and courteously, pretending to be modest and shy.Concubine Xi coughed, Concubine Tong and Concubine Yi looked at each other, and was about to speak, when the cute Empress Dowager said with a smile: "That's right, but this is the first time that Concubine Xi has dealt with such a thing, Concubine Xi is free If I want to mention her more, Concubine Hui will sit back and enjoy it with me." After that, she looked into Concubine Hui's old eyes with a slight apology.So everyone thought of the plum blossom feast hosted by Concubine Hui last time, there was a tree with green calyxes in bloom.At that time, a lot of married women came, and everyone thought that the elder brother had made a lot of achievements in the court, so they pretended not to see it. Because of this, Concubine Hui couldn't even let someone replace her. Embarrassed and stuffy at the same time, it was like sitting on pins and needles.
The Empress Dowager saw that everyone looked weird, and finally remembered the previous incident, and the apology in the eyes of Concubine Hui was a little more sincere.
Concubine Hui's veil was twisted almost to pieces, but it was the empress dowager who spoke, and she had to stand up with concubine Xi and the concubine, who were holding back their laughter, to respectfully acknowledge their honor.
Concubine Hui was originally a kind and intelligent person. Compared with the stable crown prince, she never thought of asking her eldest brother to compete with him, but no matter how calm her heart was, she couldn't stand her. Brother and Mingzhu kept on talking about each other, and after a long time, they would also think about what would happen if the crown prince was her son, completely standing on the opposite side of the East Palace.
Let's not mention why Concubine Hui lost her temper when she returned to her palace, but Xi Ze comfortably talked with the Empress Dowager for half an hour longer.
Back in the East Palace, I met the imperial physician who came to ask for Ping Anmai. Although her health was not in the best shape, she was also free from illness and disaster. The imperial physician still prescribed the prescriptions for nourishing qi and nourishing blood, so she was about to resign.
Xi Ze's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the graceful and graceful Concubine Xi, she asked, "Did Concubine Xi call for her pulse in the past two days?"
The imperial physician thought for a while and replied: "As for the Crown Princess, no, Master Xi is in good health and rarely sees the imperial physician."
In good health, is it an emergency?Xi didn't know exactly when Concubine Xi passed away, so he said, "I saw Concubine Xi in Ningshou Palace this morning, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Next time I go back to ask for pulse, I ask Imperial Physician Hu to be more careful."
In addition to excellent medical skills, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital also need to be well-behaved and know how to figure out the meaning of their masters. Although imperial physician Hu had doubts, he still complied and took this matter into his heart.
Xi Ze ordered someone to reward the imperial physician so that he could send it out. VVwVV, if she just watched Concubine Xi die of illness and did nothing, she would feel uneasy, but there is only so much she can really do.The author has something to say: One update.
