[Comprehensive] Empress Variations
Chapter 24
"Master, master..." Qingling walked quickly into the room, and casually put the snacks she had prepared on the table.At this time, she completely lost her former stability, and she was obviously a little flustered.
"What made you panic?!" Xun Ying put down the clothes she was sewing, and looked up at Qing Ling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming to Yongshou Palace." Qing Ling answered.
Wei Chan lives in Yongshou Palace now.Of course, it is impossible for Wei Chan, who is always present, to live in the main seat of Yongshou Palace, she lives in only a side hall.Now the main seat of Yongshou Palace is not occupied by anyone, but there are nobles like Wei Chan who live in Yongshou Palace, who are always there and agree.
"What did I think? Why are you panicking? Maybe it's because the emperor has taken a fancy to the young and beautiful girl next door and wants to pamper her." Xun Ying picked up the half-made clothes again and continued her work. Work.
Wei Chan's status is not high, and it is impractical to rely on the help of the palace to prepare many things.Even if the palace helped to prepare, the things were not as expected.If you want to wear the skirt comfortably, you still have to do it yourself.
Wei Chan didn't look sad when he mentioned that the emperor favored other people, but Qingling couldn't care less about being happy. "It's true to say that, but don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence, master? Yesterday we just went to see the eighth elder brother, and today the emperor came to Yongshou Palace?!"
"There are a lot of coincidences in this world. If it wasn't for coincidences, I'm still Xin Zheku's court lady, so how could I be named a permanent presence?" Xun Ying still looked invulnerable.
"Master!" Qing Ling's voice couldn't help raising a bit.
Xun Ying could only put down the clothes in her hand again, "Qingling, you worry too much. So what if we were discovered by the emperor yesterday? Since the emperor didn't pursue it yesterday, coming to the Yongshou Palace with great fanfare today should not be the cause of the teacher's death. Ask the crime. If you really want to ask the crime, a piece of imperial edict will settle the matter directly, and even the imperial edict is not needed, and the oral order can kill you and me."
Only then did Qing Ling calm down a bit, what the master said was indeed very reasonable.If the emperor's purpose is to deal with the two of them, there is no need to come to Yongshou Palace in person.Maybe it's really like what the master said, just to spoil the young promise.
"The Emperor is here!"
The eunuch Tong Chuan's voice sounded outside the gate of Yongshou Palace, and the sound came into Yongshou Palace, making it impossible to ignore.
"Let's go, let's pick him up." Xun Ying said, walking ahead.She didn't dress up in a hurry like other concubines, as long as her clothes and jewelry were not out of order.It is impossible for her to overstep the rules, all of Wei Chan's things are rewards from the emperor, as well as the concubine's salary.Where did you get the over-the-top items? !
Five or six beautiful women came out of each side hall one after another, and it could be seen that they had put a lot of effort into dressing up.Those pairs of eyes were full of affection, with explicit or implicit seduction.Compared with them, Wei Chan seemed a bit out of place.It doesn't look like a master, but like a slave serving the master.
"See the emperor." They just looked at each other and didn't have much time to exchange greetings.When the emperor walked into the Yongshou Palace, they saluted and greeted them under the leadership of the highest-ranking dignitaries in the Yongshou Palace.
Emperor Kangxi walked to the main seat of Yongshou Palace, glanced at the women kneeling below, and his gaze stayed on Wei Chan for a moment.Her etiquette is a bit more regular than others, and it is not at all obvious that she has the courage to sneak to guard next to Shang's study. "Get up, everyone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The concubines stood up one after another, showing off their exquisite figures with such small movements.It was not easy for the emperor to come to Yongshou Palace, so they naturally tried their best to attract the emperor's attention.If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will wait.
Xun Ying didn't look up after getting up, she just stared at her toes.
Kangxi's lips curled up slightly without a trace, a small arc, and was quickly smoothed by himself.Now I know that I am afraid, and I am very courageous when I do it.He clearly saw me entering the Shang study, but when I came out of the Shang study, he still dared to stay where he was.
Is it true that the martial arts they have acquired since childhood were practiced for nothing?Or is it just a decoration to be the bodyguards and hidden guards around the emperor?There was obviously a bit of nervousness in it, and I really wanted to ignore it so much that I couldn't ignore it.If it wasn't for his grace, those guards might have picked them up from the flower garden as assassins.
The empresses and concubines just waited for the emperor to speak about their purpose of coming to Yongshou Palace, hoping that the emperor would come to find themselves, and even started to take stock of the skills they could do.
Emperor Kangxi kept silent, rubbing his fingers against the armrest of the chair, leaning his body on the seat.He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if underestimating him.Until he saw Wei Chan couldn't help but look up at the main seat, that clear and beautiful face was not much different from when he favored him back then.It is a little less immature, more mature, and a little more charming than before.
He just got up from the main seat and walked down.When he came to Wei Chan's side, he stopped and watched the head that had just been raised for a while lower down again.It seems a lot more timid than before.
He turned straight into the side hall where Wei Chan lived. He favored concubines and always carried people directly to Qianqing Palace, especially if he favored a permanent presence. Naturally, it was impossible to live in this side hall with poor conditions.Naturally, he didn't have many chances to enter this side hall, and today he just happened to be interested.
Qingling watched the emperor walk in, she lowered her head slightly to hide the surprise and fear in her eyes.Seeing that Wei Chan walked in behind the emperor without any hesitation, she could only follow closely behind.
"Qing Ling, go and make a pot of tea for the emperor." Xun Ying walked in and felt Qing Ling's nervousness, so she found an excuse to send her out.
Kangxi didn't say anything to stop him, after entering the side hall, he glanced at the room.Compared with the palaces he usually lives in, this room looks really simple.However, the style of the furnishings is somewhat elegant, which is in line with the owner of the house.Her status is humble, but she is somewhat eye-catching and beautiful.
"Wei Changzai, do you know why I am here today?!" Kangxi's serious expression made people feel fearful.
"Your servant does not know, please let the emperor express it." Xun Ying still lowered her head slightly, and the expression on her face was also hidden in the shadows.
"I accidentally learned that Wei Changzai appeared around Shang's study yesterday." Kangxi stretched out his hand to lift Wei Chan's chin, and finally saw her expression clearly.There was no panic at all, even if she was lifted up like this, there was only a little surprise in his sight.The clear eyes in the memory are as clear as ever, not stained with the desire for power in the court.It's a little less soft and more firm.
It's been a few years, but the woman in front of me is more desirable than the immature appearance a few years ago.
"Yes." Xun Ying didn't deny it, and denying it when the other party already knew the facts was just to let him enjoy a good show for nothing.Maybe he would also sigh in his heart for her poor acting skills.
"Wei Changzai doesn't deny it. Why, you are not afraid that I will punish you?! I did go to the Shang's study yesterday." Kangxi stroked Wei Chan's somewhat round chin with his fingers, and met her eyes.It's like teasing a pet, thinking about these eyes because of his helplessness, fear, joy...
"My servant did not know the emperor's whereabouts yesterday, so I ask the emperor to check it out." Xun Ying slightly lowered her eyes, and responded respectfully.
"Huh? So it wasn't for Zhen. It was for..." Before Kangxi came here, he knew that Wei Chan hadn't peeped at Emperor Trace. Even if she had the intention, she didn't have the ability.She hid there just to catch a glimpse of Yinhu.This is probably the mother is strong.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xun Ying confessed without hesitation.
Kangxi let go of his grip on Wei Chan's chin, looked at her and lowered her head respectfully.He didn't seize this rare opportunity to attract her attention like the other concubines did, but he was very disciplined, as if he was just doing business.
Kangxi frowned slightly, although his memory was not very clear, he also knew that Wei Changzai was no different from other women when he was shy, and treated him with the same kindness.I haven't seen him for a few years, not only the age has changed, but even the attitude towards him is completely different from before.
As if she had completely transferred her affection for him to Yinhu, she really attached great importance to the child who hadn't been by her side for even a day.Such differential treatment is somewhat dissatisfying.
Even though he Aixinjueluo Xuanye has never been short of women, but as an emperor, he will not despise one more woman who treats him sincerely.It happened that he was somewhat interested in this person, and he would have more time to tease him in the future.
It is rare that although Kangxi was a little dissatisfied, he decided to let Wei Chan go.However, you have to charge some interest anyway.Kangxi thought of what he saw when he looked around the room, and put his gaze back on the bed.There were still half-sewn clothes on the bed. "Wei Changzai made this dress himself?!"
"Yes." Xun Ying glanced at the clothes on the bed.
"Wei Changzai is very dexterous." Kangxi made an assertion before taking a closer look. "Come and sew a suit of clothes for me with your own hands."
"It's a slave's honor." Xun Ying responded.
Although the voice was still calm and waveless, Kangxi forcibly heard a bit of joy from it.The dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated a little, but his face became more serious. "Yinhu is the son of Concubine Hui now, if you meet by chance in this palace, it doesn't matter. If the concubines in the harem behave like you did yesterday, what is the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Slaves always remember the emperor's instruction." Xun Ying turned Kangxi's words in her mind, but is it better to be aboveboard than to hide it?As an emperor, he didn't think there was anything wrong. If Wei Chan did it directly, he would come here from time to time.Doesn't this make Concubine Hui feel uncomfortable? !
The grace in the emperor's words can really only be believed in half.The remaining half is unrealistic, how much can be left.At least the words in front of her eyes were nothing more than comfort to her ears, not grace.
"What made you panic?!" Xun Ying put down the clothes she was sewing, and looked up at Qing Ling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming to Yongshou Palace." Qing Ling answered.
Wei Chan lives in Yongshou Palace now.Of course, it is impossible for Wei Chan, who is always present, to live in the main seat of Yongshou Palace, she lives in only a side hall.Now the main seat of Yongshou Palace is not occupied by anyone, but there are nobles like Wei Chan who live in Yongshou Palace, who are always there and agree.
