Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Kangxi received the invitation from Jinghao two days ago, but he has yet to make a decision whether to accept the invitation or not.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a grand day, and Kangxi, as the king of a country, is even busier on this day.

In Xu Dynasty, Kangxi, wearing a moon-white court dress, went up to the moon altar to worship the moon god in person. The white jade court belt with dragon pattern and gold square format showed his thin waist, and the turquoise court beads hanging on his chest made him look even more beautiful. Noble and unparalleled.

The ministers below looked at the young emperor on the moon altar, and from his indifferent face, they could vaguely see the immature look that he sat on the dragon chair back then.

But everyone knows that the current Kangxi is no longer the bully little emperor of the past. As for Oboi and others who held power and formed a party for personal gain, they have long since returned to dust. Dust, dust returns to dust.

Never had they been so clearly aware for a moment—

The country of Aixinjueluo's family is the country of Aixinjueluo Xuanye!

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei didn't know how many people thought about it, and they didn't care about it for a while. Anyway, looking at Kangxi on the moon altar, they were only full of excitement and pride.

That is the descendant of the Aixinjueluo family, yes, but he also has their Tong Jia's blood in him.

As Kangxi's mother clan, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei felt that no one looked forward to Kangxi more than them. After all, before Kangxi ascended the throne, even though Empress Xiao Kangzhang had entered the palace as a concubine, because she was not favored, Tong Home in a place like the capital where rich and powerful people are everywhere is simply inconspicuous.

But because Kangxi later ascended the throne as emperor, their Tong family also followed suit.

Originally, after their grandfather Tong Yangzheng surrendered to Taizu Nurhachi, he belonged to the Han army (there was no Han army flag at that time, only the Han army), but Kangxi later carried them to the Han army with a yellow flag.

As for the two uncles, Kangxi did not treat him poorly. One made him a first-class prince, while the other gave him the title of internal minister. It can be seen that Kangxi has a deep affection for his mother's family.

As for his own cousin, she was directly canonized as a noble concubine not long after entering the palace, only under the empress.

Anyone can see Kangxi's kindness to Concubine Tong Jia, but Concubine Tong Jia wants more than just a noble concubine.

When Kangxi was about to become a queen, he missed such an opportunity because of his lack of age and various political reasons, and Concubine Tong Jia didn't have to complain.

But three years after the death of Empress Renxiao, why was it Niu Gulu who was appointed as the successor instead of her?

At that time, Niu Gulu's adoptive father Aobai had died, and her biological father Ye Bilong had also passed away. As Niu Gulu himself was not favored by Kangxi, so the concubine Tong Jia really couldn't figure out what was going on with her. Why did you lose to her?

Even though Niu Gulu's empress had only been queen for half a year, Concubine Tong Jia still couldn't let go of it for a long time. She could never forget that at that time, she thought confidently that her cousin would make her his successor, but in the end she had to kneel in front of her. Niu Gulushi saluted her.

But God is fair.

Thinking of Niu Yulu's death as early as Empress Renxiao, Guifei Tong Jia couldn't help laughing secretly, she said that she was a person with poor fortune, how could she bear such a great blessing?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have died of illness more than half a year after becoming a queen. You must know that she was in good health before being canonized as a queen.

Concubine Tong Jia thought to herself that it would be good for Niu Gulu to die early, so that the queen's position would be freed up for her.

Although there are two examples of Queen Renxiao and Niu Colu, Concubine Tong Jia still wants the position of queen, and thinks that they died early because of their poor fortune.

She is not like them, she is very lucky, even her mother-in-law said that she was born when their Tong family was about to make a fortune, and she was born to be blessed.

"Cousin, these hairy crabs are cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for your health. It happens that there is an altar of fine flower carvings in the Chengqian Palace of my concubine. Why don't you show your face tonight and return to Chengqian Palace with your concubine?" Have a drink or two?"

According to the usual practice, on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor would stay in the queen's bedroom. If it were any other time, Concubine Tong Jia would not dare to blatantly invite Kangxi to her bedroom on such a day, but at this time The middle palace is empty, and the person with the highest status in the huge harem is her.

Moreover, in Guifei Tong Jia's heart, she is definitely the next queen. If so, then who will accompany Kangxi to spend the reunion night tonight, who else can give her?

"Next time." Kangxi said.

"Cousin..." Although Concubine Tong Jia also guessed that Kangxi might reject her, she was still very disappointed when he really refused. Don't give her this chance.

After leaving the banquet, he went directly back to Qianqing Palace.

"Ru Lan." Seeing Kangxi walking so simply, Concubine Tong Jia's complexion suddenly became ugly, because she has the highest status, and Kangxi just called the roll, so Concubine Tong Jia wants to You can't even leave the banquet to chase Kangxi.

But thinking of Yipin and Depin who were allowed by the Empress Dowager to leave the banquet, Concubine Tong Jia gritted her teeth and asked her confidants to see whether Kangxi had returned to Qianqing Palace or went to see Yipin or Depin.

Although none of these answers could satisfy Concubine Tong Jia, if she had to choose one of them, she would rather Kangxi return to Qianqing Palace.

I didn't know that Concubine Tong Jia was so bold that she even dared to spy on the emperor's trace. After returning to Qianqing Palace, it was almost Haishi. Kangxi should go to bed at this time, but today...

"Long Live Lord?" Liang Jiugong didn't know what Kangxi was thinking, and seeing that he didn't give orders, he asked him tentatively, "Is my slave waiting for you to bathe and change clothes?"

"What the concubine said just now makes sense." Kangxi said, "This hairy crab is cold in nature, if you don't drink it with rice wine, it is really easy to hurt your body."

Liang Jiugong: "...???"

Ah this...

Long live, do you want to drink?

Or do you want to change your mind and go to the Chengqian Palace of Concubine Tong Jia?

Liang Jiugong was thinking about Kangxi's meaning, when he heard him ask him: "Two days ago, I asked you to send someone to deliver hairy crabs to Jingxiu Palace, did you order someone to send them along with rice wine?"

Liang Jiugong: "...!!!"

Long live Lord, didn't you say to send Longjing and hairy crabs?

But I didn't say that I would give rice wine.

This is really the conscience of heaven and earth.

Liang Jiugong was able to serve Kangxi since he was a child and is still in a stable position. Naturally, it is not only because he is loyal enough, but even if Mr. Liang is a group of clever people, he must be confused by Kangxi's sudden words at this moment.

"This... In the words of Lord Long Live, I just sent someone to send Longjing and hairy crabs to Xiaozhu Dai." Liang Jiugong said.

"What use do I need you for?" Kangxi said.

Looking at Kangxi who knew that he didn't send rice wine to Jinghao, he changed his clothes and went to Jingxiu Palace to send it to Jinghao in person with a good flower carving, Liang Jiugong: "..."

really?

Does Long live Lord really think he is useless?

He didn't believe it.

It’s hard to ask others how they feel if they find out about this, but if you ask Liang Jiugong, Liang Jiugong said——

Don't ask, it's exhausting to ask, and even escorting the master to a tryst with someone after taking the blame.

Of course, Jinghao and Kangxi, who are the parties involved, do not agree with Liang Jiugong's statement. This is not a tryst, they are a date... Ahem, no, it's just a party.

"Then you came too late, right?" Jing Hao said, "We've finished eating, and we've finished admiring the moon, so you're only here at this time."

That's what Jing Hao said, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes turned up. It can be seen that Kangxi's arrival really made her happy.

"I'm late." The cute person is cute even if he is complaining. Kangxi couldn't get angry at all when he saw such tranquility. He showed the altar of flower carvings in his hand, "but Seeing that I brought the compensation here, can you pay me another month?"

"What is it?"

"Flower carving."

Jing Hao heard the words, looked at Kangxi, this apology was given...

Is it too close to her?

……

Jinghao didn't ask Pomegranate and Xiao Chenzi to serve her. She went to the kitchen with Kangxi. After heating the Huadiao with the stove, they returned to the courtyard.

"It's too cold to eat crabs. Last time I asked someone to bring you hairy crabs, I forgot to ask them to bring you rice wine." Kangxi would not pay attention to these small things on weekdays. Even if he mentioned it at night, he wouldn't think of it.

"It's nothing." Jing Hao said, "I haven't thanked you for sending me hairy crabs and tea yet."

"Didn't you thank me?" Kangxi said while shaking the mooncake in his hand, which Jinghao just gave him, "But didn't you just say that you finished eating? Why are there still mooncakes left?"

"Who knows." Jing Hao pretended to be confused, "Probably because Pomegranate forgot that there is another one, and it happens to be cheaper for you."

Hearing Jinghao's words, Kangxi couldn't help laughing, he couldn't tell whether what she said was true or not.

But he didn't expose Jinghao, but smiled and took a bite, only to find that this mooncake was different from the ones he had eaten before.

The history of moon cakes can be traced back to the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. It is said that Taishi cakes at that time were the ancestors of moon cakes. As for the custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival, it originated from the Tang Dynasty, was popular in the Song Dynasty, developed in the Ming Dynasty, and continued until the Qing Dynasty. This custom has become a common custom.

Moreover, the moon cakes of the Qing Dynasty are far superior to other dynasties not only in production, variety, and even taste.

Let’s talk about the patterns on the mooncakes, from Guanghan Palace to the Eight Immortals, almost everything related to the Mid-Autumn Festival; let’s talk about the outer skin, there are both crispy mooncakes and soufflé mooncakes. The former is made of sesame oil and flour. made, while the latter is made with butter and flour, of course, in addition to lard.

As for the taste, there are both sweet and salty, and Kangxi has actually tasted everything, but the mooncake that Jinghao gave him today, after biting into it, he found that it was different from the ones he had eaten before.

The fillings of the sweet mooncakes that Kangxi had eaten in the past were either made of jujube paste or red bean paste, occasionally with sugar or fruit. As for the fillings of salty mooncakes, they were made with salt and pepper and sesame seeds.

Now, the outer skin of this mooncake is unremarkable, but the filling inside is actually made of lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk. The salty aroma is attractive, and the unique taste is even more memorable.

On the other side, Jinghao also felt that the Huadiao wine made people drink more and more aftertaste. When the already rich Huadiao wine was heated to the optimal temperature, the taste became more mellow.

After Jinghao took a sip, she didn't rush to swallow it, but let the fragrance of Huadiao's wine slowly evaporate in her mouth. After a while, the warm Huadiao swallowed down her throat, while the rich and fragrant fragrance of the wine Slowly rise up, go directly to the brain through the nasal cavity.

The alcohol content of rice wine is generally not high, so Jinghao is not afraid that she will drink too much, one cup after another, and when Kangxi reacts, Jinghao has already drunk less than half of the jar of Huadiao.

"I didn't know you were a little drunkard?" Kangxi smiled helplessly as he saw two blushes quietly stained on his quiet, jade-like cheeks.

And he felt that her vigilance was a bit too low. Although the two knew each other, and he was still an eunuch in her eyes, no matter what, an eunuch was also a man. How could she dare to drink like this?

As for Jinghao, it was also because she was happy for a while, and because she knew that the rice wine was not high in alcohol, she dared to drink it like this, and in addition, there were not only her and Kangxi in Jingxiu Palace, but also Pomegranate and Xiao Chenzi. Woolen cloth.

But Jinghao forgot one thing, that is, the degree of this Huadiao is indeed not high, and it will not make her completely drunk, but if she drinks too much, she will inevitably feel a little drunk.

This floating feeling makes Jinghao feel that the moon in the sky seems to be more charming, and the evening wind blowing seems to be much gentler than before, and even Kangxi beside her seems to be more attractive to her than before.

Attracted, she couldn't help but hook her fingers at him: "I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"Come here a little bit."

Kangxi moved closer to Jinghao, and then heard her say: "You know what? In fact, my lips are very soft."

"???"

"Do you want to feel it?"

"!!!"

Kangxi looked at Jing Hao who was close in front of him, and the surrounding air seemed to become hot, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said hoarsely after a while: "I think."

Before these two words landed, Kangxi's lips stuck to Jinghao.

Her lips were as soft and soft as she said.

Originally, Kangxi wanted to have a taste of it, but it is difficult to control such things as desire, from the pecking kiss at the beginning to the deep kiss at the end.

Obviously it was Jinghao who took the initiative at the beginning, but Jinghao was also the one who surrendered first. She looked at Kangxi in front of her. Since she had known him for so long, he had always looked calm and calm, but at this moment he was a little bit agitated. Messy, his thin lips were a little red from being kissed by her, and against his jade-like face, there was an inexplicable sensuality.

Seeing Kangxi like this, Jinghao suddenly asked: "Are we cheating like this?"

Kangxi: "...???"
