seven steps

Nalan

Kangxi was resting alone in the room.Let Li Dequan serve outside, and by the way, no one is allowed to disturb.Kangxi was indeed tired these days, and he only thought that he came to inspect the river, but how many people were secretly sent to make unannounced visits to check whether the people were really as comfortable as they were on the surface.

Since ancient times, no official is not corrupt, and it has been like this in all dynasties. Kangxi naturally understood this truth.Even if he knew it, Kangxi didn't pay much attention to it just because he was not greedy.However, these are not enough to let him, the king who has been in power for nearly 40 years, sit alone in the room without being disturbed by others, even if he is disappointed with the prince and elder brother, even if he knows that he is just a lonely family.

This matter will start in the afternoon.

Kangxi was reviewing the papers sent by Beijing, and Li Dequan waited on him, only to see a guard come in and report, saying that it was a Han woman who asked to see her, and that it was an old friend visiting.

Li Dequan got Kangxi's wink, so he went out to have a look first, and came in again after a while.He replied in Kangxi's ear.

Kangxi paused, but he didn't expect it to be her.Then put it in.

The woman looked unmarried, her hair was only lightly tied up in a bun, and she wore a few simple pearl hairpins, she was not ostentatious, and her appearance was not as stunning as Concubine Liang.It’s just that she is beautiful, a standard Jiangnan woman should be beautiful, but she is wearing a Han woman’s costume, the upper body is embroidered with lavender magnolia flowers on a white background, the sleeves and placket are wrapped with dark purple borders, and the bottom is lavender embroidered white magnolia flowers. face skirt.He held three scrolls in his arms.Seeing Kangxi, he saluted without being humble or overbearing.

Kangxi watched her without speaking for a long time, thinking that the last time he saw her was before that person left.

"How do you know that I will meet you?" Kangxi asked.

The woman smiled slightly, "Shen Wan is just an insignificant woman, how can the emperor meet me, it's just looking at another person through me, I believe the emperor will meet him."

Kangxi snorted.His eyes were still cold, without any emotion. "I said a long time ago that I don't like you, not at all. A woman like you is too smart and too conceited."

The woman didn't react at all, she just nodded in response, "What the emperor said is not bad at all, he said the same thing about me. He once joked that if one day I were alone with the emperor, it would be a sword, sword, and war. But he Besides, the emperor will not kill me, because only I dare to speak to the emperor like this, if you want to know how it feels to be alive, you will not kill me."

Kangxi was startled, yes, what can be hidden from his eyes, who know everything, but are very smart and don't say anything, Shen Wan can be taken in by him, there must be his reason, yes, Shen Wan is indeed The only person who dared to talk to him like this, even though he didn't like her, every time he saw her, he felt alive.It's like seeing a living face amidst countless masks. "Are you here just to talk nonsense in front of me?"

Shen Wan consciously walked to a chair beside her and sat down, she knew that Kangxi would not invite her to sit, so naturally she would not wrong herself with her temper.

Kangxi didn't say anything about her self-awareness, as if to him, he was not her if he didn't realize it. From the time he knew her to now, she had never been kind to him.Kangxi was still thinking about the past, but Shen Wan over there had already spoken.

"Actually, I hate you. However, Rongruo and I are not what you think or see. I love Rongruo, but he doesn't love me. He said he envied me, so he regarded me as a close friend. .That's all."

Kangxi didn't think of this, he always thought that Nalan liked Shen Wan, after all, Nalan let Shen Wan accompany him in his last days, and he didn't see anyone, including himself.

Kangxi looked at Shen Wan and motioned her to continue.

Shen Wan put down the three scrolls in her arms. "When I met him back then, it was also in the south of the Yangtze River, and you were also on your tour to the south. At that time, I was so conceited that I was famous. But after reading his poems, I realized what a frog in a well is. I thought he was a son of a family, and he must have a hostile spirit. , but he looks like a Jiangnan scholar. If he hadn't said it himself, I would have believed that he was just a son of the Han family. Not a descendant of the Manchu family. I didn't hide my love for him, but he only regarded me as a good friend. Even though I lived in the Ming Mansion as a concubine, he never surpassed the slightest bit." Shen Wan paused, as if she was still thinking about what to say next.

Slowly, she said the following words: "Today, he asked me to come. The day before he left, he told me that he was trapped by love in his life, and two of the three relationships were love. Love, I can only look at it from a distance, the other part is missed, regretted, but lost. He is tired and tired of this life, and wants to leave, but in the end he still can't let go of someone, even if he shouldn't love, he can't Love. He also said, after he left, let me go back to Jiangnan, wherever I want, when you go to Jiangnan one day, when you can't see through, I will come to see you and hand over the last thing Here it is. It’s just that he asked me to tell you that his greatest strength in life is poetry and painting scrolls, and that’s all he can leave for you. Open it at the right time, and I hope you can read it better.”

Shen Wan knew how shocking her words were, even though the listener was Kangxi who had been in power for nearly 40 years, even though that person was already a qualified emperor.But these words were enough to make him at a loss.

Yes, Nalan loves him.Shen Wan knew who Nalan's three relationships were about. The first one was the nobleman Wei, the cousin of his childhood sweetheart. It's no longer possible for him, but even so, it's not like he just forgets it.However, God's will tricks people, and his second relationship is an even more impossible person, as if God made a joke with him. The person he loves is the current Holy One, his master, and the same Master of men.The third paragraph is his first wife, Lu Shi, but he didn’t care about it, and his wife was always behind him gently, without seeking or complaining. When he found out that his wife was good, she had already passed away. .Nalan was troubled by love all her life and couldn't understand it. She didn't see anyone until the end, and only kept herself by her side. She still remembered that when he was dying, he smiled miserably. No regrets." After finishing speaking, he drew the three pictures and told her to take them to the south of the Yangtze River, and give them to the man when he was so upset that he couldn't see through and couldn't let go, and he would understand.

Now, it's time, she knew that Kangxi was dissatisfied with the crown prince and elder brother, but she couldn't let go of her thoughts about Hesheli, whether it was a debt or a young couple.So be patient again and again.So she brought the picture scroll and told Kangxi that Nalan kept the secret all his life.

She still remembered that at that time, Nalan Mingzhu didn't know that the person he loved was Kangxi. After reading his poems, she wondered why he felt so bitter.She twitched the corners of her mouth, but she still couldn't answer, she didn't know how to say a word, yes, how should I put it, why is he so bitter in his heart.Like a fish drinking water, it knows whether it is warm or cold.

She looked up at Kangxi, and saw Kangxi sitting there, as if bewitched, expressionless, as if even his breathing became lighter.She thought for a while, stood up, didn't say goodbye, just walked away lightly like that, the skirt seemed to have swept across the ground, but it didn't seem to leave a trace.After completing the last confession of that person, she can also be a home around.
