Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

On the second day, Chen Xiuming got up early. These days, when the weather turned cold, she felt sleepy. Every day when Kangxi left early, she was fine. People came to call, but I think it was very early.

The golden dragon that she hadn't seen for a long time last night fell into a dream again, but the place she saw was something she had never seen before.It is not like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, nor like the imperial city of Kyoto. It is a small village surrounded by mountains.

There are only a few families in the village, and the farmland, water canals, and livestock are all well planned. If there is no high-walled mansion in the middle, it will be no different from ordinary farmers.

The outside of the mansion is unguarded, which is different from ordinary houses. The gate has never been opened once, so there should be no outside visitors. Only the back gate is opened every day, and the daily fruits and vegetables are brought in at this time.

Chen Xiuming followed Jinlong to go in, but he could only walk around in the garden and could not enter the house. After a few times, Jinlong seemed to find out and did not take her to try to go into the house, but took her to the farmer's house instead. home.

Jin Long seemed to want her to know something, and always took her to the group of people who were talking, but luckily they couldn't see her, which made her not so worried.

Listening to the gossip of the farmers' parents day by day, Chen Xiuming almost forgot that this was a dream.

There are few people here, and the life is quiet and peaceful. Looking at the crops from sowing to harvesting and drying, she almost thought that she had been here for a long time. She didn't wake up until she heard a few people's conversations one day.

"I heard that the owner of that house is gone?" There was a sudden remark among the people who gathered together at dusk to chat about household chores.

"That's right, there was nothing in the middle of the night last night. The servants of that family went out in the middle of the night, and the sound of the horse's hooves woke me up."

"Why did it suddenly disappear?" someone asked.

"I heard from the village head's family that I didn't see anyone when I came here. I'm not in good health. The servants always go to the town to buy medicine..."

"What exactly do you want me to see? Do you want me to see the lives of these people, or... the owner of that family?" Chen Xiuming felt uncomfortable listening to those people's conversations, so she asked .

I didn't expect Jinlong to be able to answer. After asking once, Chen Xiuming didn't ask again. Jinlong looked down at her, and she didn't understand the deep meaning in his eyes.

Forget it, don't say it if you don't say it, you will know it one day if you should know it, and you won't know it all your life if you shouldn't know it.

"Come here." Chen Xiuming woke up and didn't plan to go back to sleep, so she called for someone.

With a soft call to Yongshou Palace, they got busy, boiling hot water was sent into the room at a temperature that was just right for hands, and the small kitchen also took advantage of this time to freshen up to complete the preparations for breakfast.

"Is it starting at 25?" Chen Xiuming asked while looking at the sky outside the window.

"Back to your mother, Brother 25 hasn't woken up yet. Yesterday I was late playing with Brother 25. Today I'm a bit sleepy."

"It's cold, it's normal to be sleepy, and it happens that he has something to go out today, so let him sleep well." Raising his hand to brush his forehead hair, he smiled slightly.

"Yes."

After serving Chen Xiuming for breakfast, Yongshou Palace prepared a sedan chair and was ready to go out.Sitting in the sedan chair, Chen Xiuming still held a hand stove in her hand, and she gave it to the mother when she got off the sedan chair at Qianqing Palace.

The little eunuch who was on duty outside Qianqing Palace saw that Chen Xiuming had come and hurried up to greet her, "Hello, Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty here? The Emperor is sick now, and I'm afraid that he will be overwhelmed, so he specially told Your Majesty not to come. "

"Maybe I haven't taken medicine for a long time, but I'm still in good health."

While talking, a young eunuch had already reported, and Su Peisheng came out to pick him up after a while.

When Su Peisheng led him in, Kangxi was sitting behind the desk writing. Seeing Chen Xiuming coming in, he put down the pen in his hand and said, "Why are you here? You are not afraid of being overly sick with your body."

"I just wanted to see Lord Long Live, and now Lord Long Live has a concubine who just happens to be talking with me."

"Have a cup of hot tea." Kangxi reached out and touched the side of the cup of tea that was served. It was hot and not too hot, which was exactly the temperature for Chen Xiuming to drink tea on weekdays. It's a bit uncomfortable when the child is free."

"Who made Lord Long live so busy that he didn't even have time to rest. It's right that he's not used to it now." Chen Xiuming drank tea and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

As soon as Chen Xiuming talked about Kangxi, she stopped talking, and if she talked about it again, she might be the one to talk.

"Have you not been to Changchun Garden for a long time?" Kangxi asked suddenly.

"Yes, what's the matter, Long Live Lord?" Kangxi suddenly asked this question, Chen Xiuming couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

"I can't grow things now, it's getting cold. But there should be a lot of flowers in the greenhouse. If you want to plant some marigolds, you can also plant some. After all, they are cold-resistant."

Speaking of Jinzhan Yintai, Chen Xiuming will plant a little every year. If the body is better, it will be free. In addition to letting the Jinzhan Yintai grow by itself and occasionally pruning the branches and leaves, there are also a few pots that will be specially tied with ropes to make some. modeling.Chen Xiuming doesn't know how to make the difficult ones, and the simple shapes are not difficult to make, but it takes a little time.

There are not many pots that have been shaped, two pots here in Kangxi, one pot in each of the 24th and 25th residences, two pots in Defei's place, and one pot in his palace will be ready.

"The marigolds and silver tables you left in the palace a few years ago are kept by others. After they withered, the seeds were left to dry and then sealed and stored in jars." Kangxi looked at the green plants. shelf, with a slight smile.

Chen Xiuming looked at it, it was a pastel jar with the pattern of gold cup and silver table painted on it.Thinking about it carefully, the jar has been placed here for a long time, Kangxi never mentioned it before, so Chen Xiuming didn't pay attention to it, now it seems that the jar has been placed for several years.

Wanting to see if these are still in use, Chen Xiuming walked over and opened the lid. The jar was too big for one hand to hold, and the light on the shelf was not very good, so she took the jar and put it on the small table.

The jar tilted and reached out to touch one and put it on the table. This golden calendula was the seed that had germinated before.The current color is not as moist and white as jade before, but dry and wrinkled and slightly yellow.

After taking out all the seeds and inspecting them carefully, I found that they are all usable. "The preservation is very good, and I don't have to choose seeds this year, which saves me some effort."

"I asked them to keep it carefully, so it will be used." Helping Chen Xiuming put the seeds back into the jar one by one, Kangxi said, "I will take you when I get better in a few days, 24 , 25 to live in Changchun Garden for a while."

"It's almost the end of the new year now, why did Lord Long live think of going to Changchun Garden?" Chen Xiuming was also taken aback, as it was approaching the end of the year and going to Changchun Garden might be a toss again.

Not to mention other things, Changchun Garden has a lot of water and it will be extremely cold in winter, and the charcoal fire will be a huge consumption at that time. Usually, the cost will be reduced before the end of the new year. Now this time...

"Let's spend New Year's Eve this year in Changchun Garden. During this period of time, I have also handed over the government affairs to the fourth brother. There are only a few days of cleanliness in decades. This year, I will have a good rest. 24 and 25, I have also been to the days when the sun rises and the sun sets.” Kangxi seemed to be very happy when he remembered something, and put the jar back on the shelf while talking.

"They are still young, how can they do these jobs." Chen Xiuming thought it was funny when he thought of two short and fat children working in the field with agricultural tools.

When I think about it, I really think too much, 24 leads 25 to weed the field, plow the ground, sow seeds... Maybe I wiped a lot of mud on my face with my hands, so I look like a little cat.

After thinking about it, he laughed, "If they do the work, I'm afraid they will become little cats. The cat-like Lord Long Live who raised two children can be so cruel."

"If you let them go, you don't have to go to the field. Just go to the greenhouse to help you take care of the flowers and plants. In my spare time, I will teach them what they should learn. In the rest of the time, I will go fishing with you, enjoy flowers, and play chess. ..."

The two masters spoke heart-warming words, Li Dequan quietly retreated, and the palace daughter who had stood outside for a while changing tea came, and he also stopped him and went in to change the teacups.

That night, Kangxi ordered people to pack their luggage, and he recovered after a few days, and went to Changchun Garden before it snowed.

It started to snow on the second day when we arrived at Changchun Garden, and it fell all night. The trees were covered with snow, and the snow in front of the door was cleaned up.

"Your Majesty, look, this red plum was specially folded and brought over by Brother 24 and Brother 25 when they went out to enjoy the snow, and it also brought the air-conditioning outside." Seeing that Chen Xiuming woke up, Fanghua served After standing up, he pointed to the plum blossom road in a thin white porcelain bottle on the table.

Looking up, the red plums still have water droplets after the snow has melted, which makes people feel cool in the slightly dry room.

"Looking at it, I feel bright and refreshing. Is there any water in the bottle?"

"Add it, it's snow-melted water. It's too hot in the room, so add this colder water, and it will also keep you cool." Fanghua replied.

"Looking at the emperor's poor appetite yesterday, it may be due to the exhaustion of the journey, today let the small kitchen cook more refreshing and appetizing dishes." Chen Xiuming thought that Kangxi would come to eat at lunch time.

Although Kangxi let Prince Yong and others handle all the political affairs, there were still some things he couldn't let go of, so he went to the front yard early in the morning.

Chen Xiuming was also very tired after sitting in the carriage yesterday, and she didn't feel it when Kangxi got up, and she didn't wake up until this time.

"Are the clothes warm enough for going out to enjoy the snow on 24 and 25?" asked worriedly while walking towards the table.

"Your maidservant looks warm enough, and you guys won't be disregarding your health. Don't worry, empress." Fang Ruo replied, filling Chen Xiuming with a bowl of porridge.

"That's good." Reaching out to take the bowl, he said again: "They're back, let them come over."

"Yes."

After breakfast, Chen Xiuming got up and looked at the snow piled on the side and became interested, put on a cloak and walked outside with the support of the mother.

There was not much snow piled up on one side, it was specially left by the little eunuch who cleaned the snow, so that the master could enjoy the piled snow in the house.

Chen Xiuming was also afraid of the cold, so she didn't touch it with her hands. She looked at it for a while and said, "I remember that there is an eunuch in Changchun Garden who can make some delicate things with snow."

"Go back to your mother, yes." Momo quickly remembered the person Chen Xiuming was talking about.
