Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 16 Kangxi Bestows Books and Hairpins

Fangruo and Fuhai were already waiting outside the door when Chen Xiuming led the crowd.

"Slaves send greetings to the imperial concubine and all the empresses, best wishes to the imperial concubine and all the empresses."

"Get up, the empress dowager is up"

"Thank you noble concubine, the empress dowager has already woken up and ordered the servants to wait for you ladies outside." Fang Ruo stepped forward to support Chen Xiuming, and Fu Hai walked in front to lead the way.

After entering the house, the queen mother had already sat in the main seat and waited for everyone.After Chen Xiuming led everyone to salute, everyone got up and sat in their seats.Chen Xiuming stood still and did not move. After everyone was seated, Chen Xiuming bowed three times to the Queen Mother.

After the queen mother called out, she asked Chen Xiuming to sit down.

Afterwards, the queen mother said that she had discussed it with Kangxi. Chen Xiuming was weak, so she would not take care of the affairs of the palace. Before, she had arranged for the third concubine to handle it. The regular distribution, as well as the matter of the young elder brothers in the palace.

During this process, Chen Xiuming didn't say a word, just drinking her own tea seriously to observe the luck of the concubines.

Concubine De's luck is now a cloud of purple, but this cloud has begun to gather into the shape of a phoenix, and the purple is mixed with a few strands of gold.

Concubine De will be the Empress Dowager in the future, and it is normal for her color to be gold, but why is it still Yun instead of being a phoenix like Prince Yong Fujin?

As for the others, they all tend to be purple clouds, which shows that their luck is not very strong.Chen Xiuming is very interested in Concubine De's luck, it seems that when she has free time and opportunity in the future, she may have to take a good look at it.

The whole morning passed in Shoukang Palace like this, and Chen Xiuming, who had been sitting all morning, frowned when she got up because of her poor health and sore waist and limbs.When Chen Xiuming returned to the palace, she asked Nanny Liu to massage her waist.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, do you want to send the imperial physician to see it? If you really delay, I'm afraid it's not good." Liu Nanny said while pressing Chen Xiuming.

"There is such a thing. The imperial physician was sent to the imperial physician on the first day of entering the palace. It was just that he was not feeling well. It would be fine to rest a little." Chen Xiuming has always known how to measure it. If the body is really uncomfortable, he will not be hard. Hold on.

"Yes, this servant knows." Seeing what Chen Xiuming said, Madam Liu stopped persuading her.

"By the way, have you counted all the things sent by the palaces today?"

"Go back to your mother, Li Yue has already counted them out. Most of the jewelry or decorations that can be imported are ginseng, ganoderma, and bird's nest. They are not easy to make mistakes."

Li Yue is now the chief eunuch of Yongshou Palace, so he seems to know something.

After Chen Xiuming lay down for a while, she heard Mother Su's voice outside.

"What's going on outside?"

Grandma Liu was about to go out to have a look when she saw Grandma Su leading Li Dequan in.

"My servant greets the imperial concubine and empress, and the imperial concubine and empress are blessed and safe." Li Dequan was very respectful and polite.

"Get up, get a stool for Manager Li, and serve a cup of tea." Chen Xiuming lay on the soft couch without moving, but let Li Dequan sit down. "What's the purpose of Mr. Li's visit this time?"

"Thank you for your seat. This time I came here because Lord Long Live ordered my servants to bring some things to my lady." Li Dequan sat down politely, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Come in." Li Dequan called out loudly, and the eunuchs outside the door filed in one after another, each holding a tray in their hands, half of the trays contained jewelry, and half of the trays contained books.

"This jewelry was found by the emperor's servants from the private treasury. The books are also travel notes treasured in the Book Pavilion. After reading the empress, let the people under her go back. If there is something that you like to read, you can ask someone to get it, or you can withdraw it. It’s good for people to choose by themselves.” When Li Dequan talked about those books, Chen Xiuming’s eyes looked over.

"The servant has to go back to the emperor now, so he won't stay here to drink tea with the empress. The Lord Long Live will come over at night, and the empress must order the small kitchen to prepare meals."

"Mr. Li, go slowly. I don't feel comfortable drinking the tea now. When Mr. Li comes back in the evening, ask Madam Su to serve you a few plates of snacks."

"Hey, that slave will retire first."

After Li Dequan left, Chen Xiuming ordered Mother Su to pass the message to the small kitchen, but she took the book brought by Li Dequan and carefully looked through it, and after reading it, she personally put the book on the shelf beside it.

Li Dequan returned to the Qianqing Palace and replied, "Long Live Lord guessed right, the imperial concubine loves those books even more. The servant also got tea from the imperial concubine and empress. The tea is fragrant and fragrant, but it is good tea. The servant returned in a hurry and it is not ready yet." Let's try it. It's a pity..."

Chen Xiuming is a good person, and he has a good impression in Kangxi's heart, so Li Dequan happily said a few words in front of Kangxi.

"The cup of tea that is missing here is just to drink by yourself." Kangxi shook his head, knowing that Li Dequan was speaking nicely for Chen Xiuming.As for those books, Chen Xiuming originally loved reading, so how could he not like those books.

"Thank you Long Live Lord for the reward, but... When the servant went, he saw the imperial concubine lying on the soft couch, and her expression was not very good. I'm afraid she was tired after getting up early today."

"Go, tell Imperial Physician Wang that the noble concubine is weak and needs to be taken care of. I will check the pulse of the noble concubine once in the next three days. Today is the first time." Kangxi frowned, knowing that Li Dequan reminded him that Chen Xiuming only entered the palace. He would not take the initiative to go to the imperial doctor, and he was too tired yesterday, and he was afraid that he would break his body if he procrastinated for a while.

"The slave is going here."

After Chen Xiuming sorted out the books in person, the eunuch reported that Imperial Physician Wang was ordered to diagnose Chen Xiuming's pulse. Chen Xiuming asked Imperial Physician Wang to come in to ask for pulse, and then asked Imperial Physician Wang why he came to ask for pulse. Imperial Physician Wang told Kangxi's order , Chen Xiuming is also emotional.

I'm afraid that Li Dequan went back to tell Kangxi when he saw that she was not in good spirits, and Kangxi asked Wang Taiyi to come.I have to say that Chen Xiuming's guess was absolutely right.

After asking for a pulse, Doctor Wang said that Chen Xiuming's health is better now, but it's not suitable for being tired. It is better to take more Qi and blood nourishing medicines on weekdays, but he didn't prescribe any medicine.

Chen Xiuming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to take medicine.It is troublesome if you are not healthy. Chinese medicine is not like western medicine, which is just a pill, and you will not feel the pain if you swallow it.

That day Kangxi also came to eat dinner like yesterday, but today he didn't study like yesterday, after dinner, Kangxi took Chen Xiuming to the back yard for a walk to digest food.

Kangxi saw a few small pomegranates on a pomegranate tree and a cluster of half-bloomed pomegranate flowers. He smiled and reached out to pick them off. "It's also a coincidence that there are still pomegranate flowers these days."

As he spoke, he pinned the flowers on Chen Xiuming's hair, "the color is fresh and tender, and the meaning is good, it suits you." Kangxi pinned the flowers and touched Chen Xiuming's head.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Xiuming reached out to touch the pomegranate flower on her hair, and Kangxi's golden dragon of good fortune entangled Chen Xiuming again. Although she didn't touch it, the feeling was different from before.

Kangxi didn't speak anymore, turned around and walked into the hall, Chen Xiuming had to let go of the feeling in his heart and followed.

After about one month, Kangxi always came to Chen Xiuming Palace to rest, sometimes he came for dinner and then left, sometimes he stayed after dinner.

As for the days after Kangxi left or did not come, Chen Xiuming didn't know where he was resting, nor did he inquire.On the contrary, although Chen Xiuming was too weak to let her concubine come to pay her respects, she herself went to pay her respects in the Empress Dowager's Palace every other day. Besides, she read the books that Li Dequan had brought before in Yongshou Palace.

These books include not only a collection of travel notes and poems, but also a record book about the maintenance of flowers and plants. Chen Xiuming also likes this book very much. ).

According to the records in the book, the marigolds cultivated are very healthy. Now it is not the end of the year, so there are no flower buds, and only the emerald green slender leaves are also worth seeing.

Several times when Kangxi came, I saw Chen Xiuming taking care of several pots of marigolds, and joked that at the end of the year, the flowers bloomed and gave Kangxi and the Queen Mother a pot. Seeing Kangxi making fun of him, Chen Xiuming also agreed.

These days Chen Xiuming is very comfortable tending flowers and plants, the only time when he is not comfortable is when Kangxi's golden dragon came to Chen Xiuming's palace when Kangxi was not here.

When the golden dragon came, it didn't look like Kangxi was entangled with her when he came, but was wandering around the Yongshou Palace. When he saw it for the first time, Chen Xiuming thought that Kangxi was here, but Chen Xiuming felt very strange when he found that Kangxi didn't come. up.

Chen Xiuming got used to it after a few times, but still felt a little uncomfortable, and had no way to drive it away, so he could only ignore it and let it follow him.

Chen Xiuming felt bored after being bored in Yongshou Palace for a few days. Thinking that she had finished reading the books Li Dequan brought before, she only kept the book on flower and plant conservation, and let others take the others to read. Court.

This bookstore is the largest collection of books in the palace, and there are not many people here on weekdays, so Chen Xiuming is quite comfortable when choosing books in it.

The eunuch in charge of the Book Pavilion sent all the books Chen Xiuming wanted and then left. Chen Xiuming sat alone behind the table and read the books.

The books in this bookstore are all-encompassing and there are many kinds. Chen Xiuming was a little tired of reading travel notes and poetry anthologies a few days ago, so he asked to bring some folk chronicles.

Those who can manage the bookstore are not fools, and it is impossible to get some books that Chen Xiuming can't read, so what Chen Xiuming gets is some folk books or some drama scripts.

Chen Xiuming has read this type of book before, but he has never seen such an interesting book. The rhythm of the story is very well grasped in the drama script, and the psychological movements of the beginning, transition, and transition are well described, which makes Chen Xiuming read it with gusto.

It was not too early when I came back to my senses after reading a book, so I ordered someone to send the rest to Yongshou Palace and went out. Before going to Jianyu, I saw outsiders outside the Book Pavilion.
