Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

"I have seen the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is blessed and safe." Fuhai and all the servants in the room paid their respects together.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Concubine."

"The concubine has met the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is a thousand years old." This was the first time as a concubine of Kangxi to meet the queen mother, so Chen Xiuming performed the three-kneeling and three-prostration ceremony.

"Fanghua quickly helped the imperial concubine up and sat down. It's autumn, and the ground is very cold." The queen mother accepted the gift with a smile.Looking at Chen Xiuming, who was dressed as a daughter's family not long ago, but now dressed as a court lady, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional. "A few days ago, she was called the Empress Dowager of the Ai Family, but now she is also called the Empress Dowager of the Ai Family. But the Ai Family is also your Empress, so it should be changed."

As she spoke, she motioned to Fu Hai, who was standing beside the box, to give the box to Chen Xiuming. Chen Xiuming first glanced at the wooden box and then at the Queen Mother, and lifted the lid of the box.

Lying quietly on the bright yellow silk is a string of beeswax Buddha beads. This bracelet is full of luster, and the tassels are not new. Chen Xiuming has never seen the Queen Mother hold it in her hand before. It is quite well preserved, and it must be the treasured and beloved item of the Empress Dowager.

Chen Xiuming played with the bracelet in his hand, and felt that the bracelet was smooth and moist.But what makes Chen Xiuming feel strange is that the weight of this bracelet seems to be a bit wrong...

"This is Queen Mother's favorite bracelet. Ai's family is getting old. I'm afraid I will forget it even if my diary is not good. I will give it to you today. You also like Buddhist scriptures on weekdays." The queen mother saw Chen Xiuming playing with it. Starting to string hands is also a joyful look.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, it's just that this is what the Queen Mother likes, and now being taken away by the concubine, the concubine feels very uneasy. If not, the concubine will often come to pay respects to the Queen Mother in the future, so that the Queen Mother See if the concubine has kept this bracelet properly?"

Chen Xiuming understood that this was the first time she came to pay her respects as a concubine, so no matter what the Queen Mother offered, she could not refuse, so she accepted it directly, and said cheekily that she would come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother every day in the future.

"Okay, so don't slack off, if you are in good health, you have to come to Ai's family to be with Ai's family." The Queen Mother laughed.

"The concubine obeys the order." Since the queen mother was making fun of herself, Chen Xiuming also smiled and agreed.

Chen Xiuming didn't stay in Shoukang Palace for a long time today, and the queen mother drove her away when she was about to have dinner, "If you enter the palace today, the emperor will definitely go to your place, you should go back soon."

"Yes." Chen Xiuming was not shy, because she thought that Kangxi just went to her place for dinner.Chen Xiuming, who is almost forty in the two lifetimes combined, has never learned the common sense that adults should know...

What the queen mother said was right, and soon after returning to Yongshou Palace in the shoulder car, Li Dequan came to deliver the decree, saying that Kangxi was coming for dinner.

After sending Li Dequan away, Chen Xiuming ordered the small kitchen to carefully prepare dinner, but she went to pick up a book and read it slowly as she did in the palace before.

It's not that Chen Xiuming didn't care about Kangxi, but because he was familiar with Kangxi when he was with Kangxi before. For Kangxi to come for dinner, it's no different from the Queen Mother passing her to eat, but this The second time is that the queen mother is missing.

Chen Xiuming didn't read the book for a long time when he heard the voice of greetings from outside. Chen Xiuming put the book on the table and got up, straightened his clothes, and saluted Kangxi who came in, "My concubine greets the emperor, and the emperor is blessed." Kim Ann."

"Get up. It's cold in autumn, you don't need to salute when you are weak." Kangxi stepped forward and pulled Chen Xiuming up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Chen Xiuming obediently was dragged by Kangxi to sit on the kang.

Kangxi looked at Chen Xiuming with his head lowered, and saw a book on the table, so he picked it up and looked at it, "I remember that you loved reading books at Huang Erniang's place before, and you are still like this now. I never asked Why do you love reading so much?"

"Back to the emperor, when the concubine was young, the concubine's father told the concubine to read too much to be sensible. The concubine is weak and has little time to go out of the house and does not have a good handkerchief. I also feel that reading more books is true. Let the concubine know more things." When Chen Xiuming replied, she looked up at Kangxi.

"Chen Qishan can read it clearly, but don't read this book for too long, let's eat first."

"Yes."

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.

There was no communication between the two during the meal, and Li Dequan and Madam Su served dishes for them.

Kangxi has also paid more attention to health in recent years, so he doesn't eat much meat and prefers vegetarian dishes, although a simple vegetarian dish in this palace may not be easy to make or may not be a real vegetarian.

After eating, he rinsed his mouth with tea and wiped his mouth and hands with a wet towel. Kangxi and Chen Xiuming went into the study. Kangxi took out a collection of poems from the bookshelf and asked Chen Xiuming to read it, while he practiced calligraphy beside him. .

Chen Xiuming froze for a moment, then took the collection of poems and sat aside, reading slowly.

Near night, the sun shines into the room from the window, the golden light looks very warm, the breeze gently blows on the face, and the melodious sound of reading...

The years are quiet, but that's it.After Kangxi wrote for a while, he looked up and found that Chen Xiuming, who was usually quiet and quiet, had a moment very similar to the Queen Mother when he was studying.Smiling, he took another piece of paper and drew Chen Xiuming's movements at this time.

"Okay, don't read it anymore, let's have a sip of tea." After Kangxi finished painting, he found that Chen Xiuming's voice was a little hoarse. "You should stop when your throat feels uncomfortable. Why are you still reading?"

Chen Xiuming walked over with a smile and put the book on the table, picked up another cup of tea on the table and drank a few sips, the book was read by Kangxi, Chen Xiuming didn't have the guts to stop and rest at will.

"It's getting late, let's rest after washing up."

It was indeed getting late, although the sky was not yet dark, but the maids lighted the candles lightly.The two went back to the bedroom after bathing and changing their clothes.

Chen Xiuming was sitting on the bed with only her middle clothes on, and she looked petite and thin after taking off her large flag dress.

After Kangxi came in, he sat beside Chen Xiuming, held Chen Xiuming's hand, and put two jade bracelets on Chen Xiuming's left wrist.Chen Xiuming looked up at Kangxi, and found that the golden dragon, who had not moved for a long time, had wrapped around him and put his head on his shoulder.

"I heard that the Queen Mother gave you a bunch of bracelets. The Queen Mother gave you a bunch of bracelets. I can't refuse to give you anything. This pair of bracelets was specially made smaller by someone earlier. Now the bracelets will not fall off. In the future, when you get older, you won’t be able to take it off, and the bangles are crisp and sweet when they touch each other, which adds a bit of anger.” Kangxi plucked the pair of bracelets as he spoke, and the sound when they touched was indeed clear and sweet. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It is not common to wear double bracelets on this hand. Only women who are not out of the cabinet and have a marriage contract will wear them during the Tanabata Temple Fair. At that time, there are many people on the street, and the sound made when the two bracelets collide can attract the woman's future husband. Take this as a way to travel together in the street by virtue of meeting.

Tonight in the Yongshou Palace, there was also the high or low crisp sound of jade bracelets colliding. The people outside the door stopped listening to the sound and heard Kangxi calling someone to bring hot water in to serve.

The next morning Kangxi got up before dawn because he had to go to court, but he needed Li Dequan to wake him up as if he was resting in other palaces.Kangxi opened his eyes and looked in to see that Chen Xiuming was sleeping sideways to him, got up lightly, put on his shoes and walked outside.

"Long live Lord." Li Dequan called out softly, and together with other palace maids and eunuchs, they cleaned Kangxi's face, rinsed his mouth and braided his hair.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the imperial concubine, I was also tired yesterday when I was canonized and went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Don't let me get up too early today, just watch the time and call to take all the concubines to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. "Kangxi's words were vague, but no one is a fool.

After sending Kangxi away, the two nuns didn't enter the bedroom for fear of waking Chen Xiuming up.Standing outside the door for a long time, just thinking that it's time to call Chen Xiuming when she heard someone calling from inside.

Chen Xiuming was very tired yesterday, and when she was supported by Madam Liu, she still felt that her whole body was loose, and she couldn't lift up her energy.

Mother Su said that when Kangxi left, she said that Chen Xiuming was tired, so they didn't have to wake Chen Xiuming up early. Chen Xiuming felt shy when she heard this, and when she changed clothes, she heard the ringing of the bracelet on her wrist, which made her face very hot .

Su Momo and Liu Momo saw that Chen Xiuming's blushing was gone, so they just kept their mouths shut and concentrated on serving Chen Xiuming to wash up.

When Chen Xiuming was about to finish her breakfast, a concubine came to Yongshou Palace, and Madam Su was watching tea and snacks outside.Chen Xiuming didn't go out until all the concubines had arrived.

When washing and dressing up, Madam Su combed Chen Xiuming's wings, and put a few emerald flowers on it, and on the right side, a buyao dotted with emerald pearls and tassels, and finally, on the back of her head. I picked up a pearl bead flower.

Chen Xiuming wore a golden flag dress, and a pair of armors inlaid with gold and jade, and a pair of armors inlaid with gold and turquoise.The dress is more expensive, and Chen Xiuming's background is so extraordinary that he will not be covered by this dress.

"The concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine is blessed and safe."

Today was the first time to greet Chen Xiuming, so everyone gave a big salute, and Chen Xiuming also shouted directly after accepting the kneeling.

"I'm not in good health. After taking you to greet the Queen Mother today, you don't have to come to pay her respects. If you are free on weekdays, you can come to the Yongshou Palace of my palace." Chen Xiuming didn't come to the palace at all. Competing for favor, so I don't care so much about their greetings.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty is unwell, so you need to take good care of her. The concubines have brought some things, and your Majesty can see what can be used." Concubine Yi was unparalleled in her early years, but now she still has her charm even though she is not young, but Chen Xiu Ming is also much younger than her, so it's hard to call her sister.

"Since Concubine Yi has said so, I will accept them all. It's getting late. Let me go with the palace to greet the Queen Mother." The seats in this room are arranged according to their status. I reminded you, so Chen Xiuming can also recognize people.

"Yes."
