[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

"Your Majesty Wei, what do you think I can come to Yongshou Palace so late?!" Kangxi put the cup in his hand on the table, with a wicked smile on his lips.His eyes looked back and forth on Wei Chan's body, and the thick skirt of his body seemed to turn into nothingness in his sight.

When Kangxi faced the concubines in the harem, he usually had a gentle look.Although he has never concealed his passion, he has never deliberately expressed that he is fascinated by love.It was the first time he showed his appearance at this time.It is really hard for people not to think in the wrong direction.

Looking into Kangxi's eyes, Xun Ying didn't show shyness on her face, but showed obvious confusion.He lowered his eyes slightly, as if he didn't see the emperor's expression.The voice was as elegant and indifferent as always, "I don't know what kind of painting the emperor wants this time?!"

Kangxi suppressed the smile on his face, but his eyes became more and more focused.This nobleman Wei is too clear about his position, even under his deliberate guidance, he has never crossed the boundary.With the imperial concubine Tong Jia in front, her performance at this time more and more satisfied his emperor's desire to control.

He ignored the faint bitter taste between his lips and teeth, and only regarded it as the aftertaste of tea.Inferior tea tastes a little less when it is imported, and even the aftertaste is unpleasant.

"Guest Wei is so smart, why don't you guess what painting I want this time?!" Kangxi looked at Wei Chan, not missing her subtle expression.The drooping eyelids and the trembling arc of the eyelashes caught his eyes.

"Slaves don't dare." Xun Ying subconsciously wanted to bend down and salute. In this harem, she really showed her flexibility to the extreme.He asked Kangxi what kind of painting he wanted this time because he asked her to paint when he came to Yongshou Palace these days.But if you guess what the emperor wants her to paint, that is "presuming the sacred intention without authorization".

Kangxi sighed slightly, got up and rubbed Wei Chan's forehead.Watching her slowly open her eyelids, the fear in her sight disappeared, leaving only a touch of confusion.His gaze couldn't help but eased, "I want a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Xun Ying smiled slightly, and took a step back.The warmth on her forehead dissipated, and her gaze grew calmer. "This map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, apart from you, the emperor, I am afraid that no one really cares about it. The slaves are here to make a fool of themselves."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the desk beside her. The rice paper and pen and ink on it had not been restrained, which saved Xun Ying a lot of trouble.She picked up a brush to draw thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and watched the ink leave traces on the rice paper.

What she said to Kangxi was really a bit sought after, and it was more true.How many people can have the heart of an emperor?Although the paintings are very concerned about the form, but more about the artistic conception.When the artistic conception is higher than the crowd, sometimes the form becomes less important.The map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is the most suitable for the emperor's heart.

"I like the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains drawn by Wei Guiren." Kangxi watched Wei Chan finish painting, this painting was not known to be much more refined than his paintings, and she really liked it.

His Wanli Jiangshan is domineering, while Wei Chan's Wanli Jiangshan is elegant and indifferent.From this painting, we can see the atmosphere of the scenery, and we can also see the state of mind of the person who painted this painting, like a hermit.Indeed, make him happy.

"As long as the emperor likes it." Xun Ying nodded slightly, watching the ink dry up, she carefully rolled up the scroll.Hold it in front of Kangxi with both hands.

Kangxi rubbed the scroll, looked at the darkening sky outside, and restrained himself from wanting to sit here for a while longer. "Your Majesty Wei, rest early."

"Servant send the emperor respectfully." Xun Ying watched Kangxi's figure disappear into the courtyard.

The Qing Dynasty has always been the world on horseback, and has high requirements for the prince's martial arts.Kangxi himself is a strict self-discipline, even if he is not top-notch in this respect, he is still in the middle.

The first time Xun Ying watched the emperor display martial arts, it was under such circumstances.There was a bewitching smile on his lips, and he looked at the rice paper spread on the table.The picture scroll in the night is inexplicably charming...

In the following days, Kangxi would still walk among the various palaces, occasionally going to the Yongshou Palace, which was no different from other palaces, and would leave after sitting for a while.

On the contrary, the frequency of Kangxi's visits to Chengqian Palace, where Imperial Concubine Tong Jia lived, increased significantly, and he sat in Chengqian Palace every day until the sky turned dark.

Under such circumstances, who would take the Wei nobleman in Yongshou Palace who only occasionally saw the emperor's side seriously? !Everyone was staring at Concubine Tong Jia, and even Concubine Hui who was quite dissatisfied with Noble Wei because of Yinhu no longer spent time on her.

"Your Majesty, how about this picture of my concubine today?!" Tong Jia, the imperial concubine, presented the scroll she had just drawn to Kangxi as if she were presenting a treasure.From the recent reaction of the emperor, she can see that the emperor loves the map of mountains and rivers the most.When the emperor was not in Chengqian Palace, she practiced her pen a lot.

"It's indeed improved." Kangxi glanced at the scroll, and there was another person's shadow on the scroll.A few days ago, he replaced the painting on the royal study with the one that Wei Chan painted for him.Now Tong Jia's imitation has become that one.

She really didn't dare to imitate too much, but maybe it was because of the handwriting of the same woman.The picture scroll produced by the imperial concubine Tong Jia is no longer as difficult to see as it was some time ago.However, looking at more and more similar paintings, he couldn't help but think of another woman.Looking at the smile of the imperial concubine Tong Jia in front of her, a trace of impatience flashed across her eyes.

Concubine Tong Jia's smile was a little more sincere, "I will work harder."

"Why does my concubine make himself so hard?" Kangxi seemed to be focusing on the person in front of him.

"As long as the emperor likes it, the concubine will not have to work hard." The imperial concubine Tong Jia lowered her eyes slightly, and her heart seemed to be beating faster.For a moment, she felt that the emperor knew her true feelings, and the joy of getting a response made her fingers tighten involuntarily.

Kangxi sighed, "I understand what you mean."

"Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine Tong Jia raised her head to meet Kangxi's gaze, the deep affection and no regrets in those eyes were extremely confusing.

Kangxi captured the emotions in those eyes, but he never moved him.It's just that his actions are also full of tenderness and sweetness.

Concubine Tong Jia watched Kangxi leave as usual, but her anger and impatience no longer appeared on her face.There was a smile on his lips, his face was always flushed, and his eyes were full of pride.

……

Kangxi leaned on the bed with a relaxed body, looking at Mrs. Wei who was sewing clothes beside him.If in the past, which woman he wanted to spoil, he would definitely let everyone know in an open and aboveboard manner.

Although he understands the secrets in the palace better than anyone else, he also feels that only those who can win the battle are worthy of his favor.He has always let those women compete for favor, as long as those women don't stretch their hands on him, it doesn't matter.A smart person will never do something that disgusts him.

Those women's battles, in his view, are also "chaotang" battles.He only intervened when he was supposed to, and the rest of the time he was having a lot of fun.

However, this time is an exception.

He didn't favor Noble Wei in an open and aboveboard way, but instead hid her in the shadows and let her continue to be her transparent person in the harem.He didn't want her to come into contact with the dirtiest side of the palace.

In his eyes, Wei Chan's temperament is suitable for scholarly pen and ink, but not suitable for court struggle.Apart from him, there was nothing behind her that could guarantee her safety.Her status, as well as her specialness in his heart, made him choose to protect her under his wings.

"Your Majesty." Looking at the slightly squinting emperor, Xun Ying couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?" Kangxi's voice was obviously lazy, and he looked sideways at Wei Chan.

"You have been in Yongshou Palace for a little longer today." Xun Ying packed up her clothes and put them in a box beside her.The piece of clothing she was sewing was made from the ink-colored uniform that Kangxi often wore, and the fabric was also directly brought by him.

Once there is the first time, there will be the second time. Emperor Kangxi seems to have become addicted since the first time he ran to Yongshou Palace at night, and he would come here to sit and sit every day.

In the beginning, this person would call her to ask for paintings, but later he didn't even need to make excuses, just sat there and watched her busy.Seeing her sewing a lot, he brought the fabric here himself.Apparently asking her to sew some clothes for him.

"It's really getting late." Kangxi said so, but he didn't have the slightest intention to get up.He watched Wei Chan pack up his things, how could he not know that she was saying in disguise that he should go back.However, today, he doesn't want to leave now. "Your Majesty Wei, what do you think of Imperial Concubine Tong Jia?"

"Slaves don't dare to speak indiscriminately." Xun Ying quickly responded.

"The identity of Imperial Concubine Tong Jia is indeed not something you can discuss now." Kangxi didn't insist on Xun Ying's answer, seeing her performance like this was even more satisfying.His love for her is only known to a few people, but it is also obvious enough.This special favor did not make the person in front of him change his temper.

Xun Ying lowered her eyes slightly, she was just as quiet as before.

Kangxi stretched out his hand to grab Wei Chan's, and the petite woman pressed against his body with such extraordinary strength.Sensing Wei Chan's stiffness, he stretched out his hand and patted Wei Chan's back with a sense of comfort. "Your Majesty Wei, don't let me down."

"..." Xun Ying met Kangxi's eyes, and the eyes of the two intertwined, and finally she retreated first. "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest. Eunuch Liang is still guarding in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Kangxi finally let go of the hands that bound nobleman Wei, and got up together with her.Seeing Wei Chan lowering her eyes and conscientiously arranging his clothes, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Although Wei Chan didn't answer directly, her unchanging temperament and way of doing things have already answered for her.Although Mrs. Wei is not good at words, the promise she made with actions made him most happy.

She will not let him down.
