[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Kangxi stepped straight into the side hall of Yongshou Palace and sat on the seat.

Xun Ying behaved as usual, standing aside with her head slightly lowered.It always makes people feel extraordinarily well-behaved, but she herself doesn't seem to have much sense of existence.

When Qing Ling approached the room, she hurriedly prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put them on the table beside her. After grinding the ink, she raised her head and glanced at Wei Chan.

It seemed that he was a little aware of her gaze, or maybe it was because Wei Chan heard the sound of her doing things.In Kangxi's eyes, the master and servant had an exceptionally tacit understanding. Just as Qingling backed away from the desk, Wei Chan raised her head and met his gaze.

"Your Majesty, what kind of picture do you want this servant to draw for you?!" Xun Ying asked, if she made a random picture on her own initiative, who knows if the emperor in front of her would like it.

Kangxi walked to the desk and looked at the rice paper in front of him.He said that asking Wei Chan to draw a picture for her was just an excuse to take Wei Chan away from Concubine Hui.At that time, I just thought of the picture of mountains and rivers embroidered on that dress, and thought that her painting skills must not be bad.As for what to draw, he really didn't really think about it.

"Your Majesty Wei, you can just draw a picture at will. I believe that with your painting skills, even ordinary scenery can draw a bit of unique charm." Kangxi gave up his seat in front of the desk and looked at Shang Weichan.

"Your Majesty, you are absurd. The painting skills of this servant are just beginners, and I can't be praised by the Emperor." Naturally, it is impossible for Xun Ying to receive such exaggerated praise from Kangxi, otherwise the painting is not good, and the responsibility is all on his own head superior.As for whether the painting is good or not, isn't it the emperor who has the final say? ! "The servant girl just drew a random picture, and asked the emperor for advice."

Xun Ying stood in front of the desk, even if there was a seat behind her, she would not be able to sit with the emperor standing beside her.Picking up the brush, he assumed a painting pose.After thinking about it for a while, she wrote a pen on the rice paper.

This time Xun Ying did not choose an extremely grand style like embroidery, she drew the scenery she saw in the imperial garden casually.Now that it has just entered March, the weather is still a bit cold, but it has begun to return to warmth.The tactful brushwork makes the whole scenery lean towards warm colors, and people can't help but yearn for it when they see the scroll.

Of course, this effect is partly due to the painting skills, and partly because the scenery of the imperial garden is indeed beautiful.The royal garden, which has been devoted to the painstaking efforts of many craftsmen, naturally has its advantages.

Kangxi calmed down and looked at the painting in front of him, feeling more and more that Wei Gui was very human.

Such painting skills, I'm afraid even he can't compare.Although Kangxi was conceited, he was not arrogant.As an emperor, he is good at the art of governing the country and employing people. It is normal that he is inferior to people in calligraphy and painting.

However, such painting skills may be difficult even for court painters.A woman who can do this can really be called a talented woman.Kangxi put one hand on the edge of the desk, and looked down at the woman who was still serious about painting.The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, making him slow down his breathing.

By the time he realized it, Wei Chan had already put down his paintbrush, and saluted him respectfully. "Your Majesty, the servant girl has finished drawing."

"Guild Wei's painting skills are really good, and I feel like I'm actually there!" Kangxi concealed his admiration in his heart, if it was because of Wei Chan's character that he was close to her at the beginning , but now it is a little more sincere appreciation.

He even regretted it a bit, why didn't he notice the specialness of the person in front of him when he got along with him a few years ago?But this regret soon dissipated.In his opinion, it is not too late to find out now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xun Ying thanked her, her gaze swept over the already formed painting.It is true that some drawing skills are used in embroidery, but it is not comprehensive.She took ten days to embroider the same color embroidery. In her opinion, the painting was not exquisite, at most it took two to three minutes of effort.One is that time does not allow, and the other is the difference between the two arts of embroidery and painting.

In fact, she thought it would be good to be able to reproduce [-]% of her painting skills.But she never thought that she could completely show her most perfect side, even better than that.Such an easy display of something she hadn't touched for many years made her realize it easily again.She really is very different from the original.

Kangxi liked Wei Chan's humble attitude more and more, and the corners of his lips curved slightly. "Liang Jiugong, properly put away the painting that nobleman Wei gave me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liang Jiugong carefully tried the ink on it, and when he found that it was not dry, he ordered the whole painting to be carried away on a flat surface.If it is dry, roll it up as soon as possible and put it away.

"Order the Imperial Dining Room, I will have dinner here in Yongshou Palace today." Kangxi ordered again.

"Huang..." Xun Ying looked up at Kangxi, wanted to say something, but closed her mouth after seeing the undeniable firmness in Kangxi's eyes.Since he himself doesn't dislike eating in the side hall as against his status, she naturally doesn't care.

Kangxi sat back at the table and let Xun Ying sit opposite him.The two of them tasted the not-so-good tea, and Kangxi's body couldn't help but relax, and he enjoyed his sight a little more.

Kangxi seemed to have discovered something, his body froze slightly, and soon relaxed again.

He ascended the throne at the age of eight, and I don't know how many people expected him to make a mistake and wanted the chair under him.Precautions have already become his habit.Except when facing the emperor's grandmother, he was able to relax a little, showing a bit of his true nature.When facing other people, either he is plotting against others, or they are plotting against him.

After the death of the imperial grandmother, he thought that there would be no place for him to relax.However, there are always unexpected things in this world.His state just now was really relaxed.

Kangxi's gaze towards Wei Chan was obviously a little more serious than before.He didn't expect that Wei Chan could make him let go of his guard without a trace.Then, it felt right again.If there is anyone among the concubines who can make him let go of his guard, Wei Chan is undoubtedly the most qualified.

Behind the other concubines are all the shadows of other forces. Even if they really have some true feelings for the emperor, they may not be able to compare with the temptation of power and status.They will please him, and in his opinion, they want to get something from him.

There is no influence behind Wei Chan, and it can even be said that she does not have any relatives around her.In her world, he is the closest person.Moreover, Wei Chan is different from other concubines in that she never takes the initiative to please him.He only does his own thing well, as if he doesn't care about rights and status.

Even if she wants to get something from him, it's just to be promoted to the concubine position.Or, for Yinhu...

Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but frown slightly.When Wei Chan sewed clothes for him, she once said that he was the 'closest' person.But from her performance, he has never seen her close.On the contrary, it was the eighth elder brother who had never been kept by her side for a day, and got her obvious attention.

"Your Majesty, but the tea is not to your liking. This servant asked Qing Ling to make another pot." Seeing Kangxi frowning while drinking tea, Xun Ying spoke directly.

If it's really a problem with the tea, let alone a pot.Even if it is a few more pots, I am afraid it will not meet the emperor's wishes.The tea leaves were placed there, and it was impossible for ordinary tea leaves to taste like the top Dahongpao.

"It's okay, I just thought of something about the court." Kangxi looked at Shang Weichan with some concern, and his brows relaxed.She should have been paying attention to him all the time, so she noticed his displeasure immediately.

Wei Chan's behavior has always been like this, and she can't tell it when she is sewing clothes.Whether it's the carefully selected fabrics or the same-color patterns that don't show on the surface, it can be seen that she is low-key but extremely attentive.If one day, she took this concern to the surface like other concubines, she would not be able to catch his eyes.

As for the concern for Aixinjueluo Yinhu... The love between mother and child is in nature. As an emperor, there is no need for him to care about his son.

Although Kangxi thought so, he couldn't help but compare Wei Chan's concern for Yinhu with other concubines' concern for his son, and he always felt that Wei Chan paid more attention to it.

Which of the other concubines would personally make clothes for the children?Even though Wei Chan knew that the clothes she made could not be delivered to Yinhu, she still enjoyed it.She didn't even care that she was bullied, or even blamed by him.As long as Yinhu is mentioned, her face will change...

Could it be that Wei Chan became attached to Yinhu because the mother and son had never met each other before? !Kangxi thought it was very possible, and couldn't help but start to calculate.If Wei Chan and Yinhu meet each other...

Kangxi's fingers could not help tapping the table. Since Yinhu was raised in Concubine Hui's palace, she was Concubine Hui's son.If he did it too obviously, it would be disrespectful to Concubine Hui.

Xun Ying looked at Kangxi with a smile on his lips, which was fleeting.She couldn't see what Kangxi was thinking, but she could also see that what he was thinking at this time was related to her.This person is a little closer to her, at least in Kangxi's eyes, she is no longer a dispensable item, which is a good thing for her.Since it is a good thing, there is no need to refuse it.

As long as Kangxi, who is the emperor, doesn't want to kill her, she can move this chess game forward step by step.

If we met once, wouldn't we continue to miss him? !Kangxi's eyes became deep, and he sighed slightly, as long as Aixinjueluo Yinhu was still the son of Concubine Hui in name.Wei Chan wouldn't take back any of her thoughts on him.Instead, he fell in love by accident.

Sure enough, after getting some, he couldn't help wanting more.For a moment, he actually wanted to monopolize someone's attention, even as an emperor, I'm afraid it's impossible...
