Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 102 Dongzhu ([-])
"It's cold outside, come in quickly." Kangxi was lying on the bed and said to Wanxian who was taking off her clothes.

"Yes, I know." Wanxian hurriedly took off her middle coat and got into Kangxi's bed.

"Is it cold?" Kangxi asked, looking at Wanxian under the quilt.

Wanxian shook her head and said, "It's not cold, it's very warm under the quilt."

"I asked people to put a lot of charcoal in the house, and it will be warm naturally. Just be careful when you go out, wear more clothes, and don't catch a cold. It's not good to catch a cold in winter." Kangxi pulled Wanxian into his arms , warned carefully.

"Yes, I remember this. Lord Long Live, please be careful. It's freezing cold, so Lord Long Live, please be careful not to catch a cold." Wan Xian snuggled into Kang Xi's arms and said caringly.

"Okay, let's both be careful and don't freeze." As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, he lifted the quilt and covered himself and Wanxian.

……

"Long live Lord, please wear more clothes." Wanxian picked up the middle coat and put it on Kangxi.

"I know." Kangxi put on his coat and said to Wanxian in front of him.

"My servant made some ginger soup. Long Live Lord, please drink a bowl before you leave. It will make you warmer. By the way, let the eunuchs carrying the sedan drink a bowl. This way, the sedan will be more stable." When Wanxian woke up early this morning, Kangxi Before she woke up, she quickly stood up and told Yunxia to prepare ginger soup.

"Okay." After Kangxi put on his court clothes, he sat on the heated kang and stared at Wanxian in front of him.

Wanxian took the ginger soup from Yunxia and handed it to Kangxi.Kangxi took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp, regardless of how hot it was.

Wanxian was holding a plate of snacks and was about to present it when she saw Kangxi had finished drinking the ginger soup.Then he said: "Long live it, it's not too hot. Let's use some snacks to cushion it."

"Okay, it's almost time, I have to leave. It's still early, you need to take a nap." Kangxi squeezed a piece of snack to use, then stood up and touched Wanxian's forehead and said.

"Okay, I will let Mrs. Tang be held in my arms. Long Live Lord, it will be warmer." Wanxian said, taking a flat gold hand stove from Qiaoguo and handing it to Kangxi.

"I know, I will be careful." After Kangxi took the stove, he stood up and left the Xinuan Pavilion.

Wanxian quickly saluted and sent Kangxi out.

After the door of Xinan Pavilion was closed, Yunxia and Qiaoguo helped Wanxian up.

"My little master, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Yunxia asked.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. The days are short now, so I'll just wait until noon to sleep again." Wanxian got up and sat on the heated kang and said.

"You guys can help me dress up. By the way, Hongxia, please go back to Changchun Palace later to see if the nanny is okay?" Wanxian recalled the quarrel with the nanny yesterday and felt a little regretful, so she thought Send Hongxia back to take a look.

"Yes, I will go back later." Hongxia, who was serving at the side, said quickly.

"Get dressed and take that apricot red dress to make it more festive." Wanxian got up from the heated kang and walked to the dressing table and said.

"Yes, slave, take it out right now." Yunxia walked to the cabinet and took out the clothes.

"My dear Master, please give me a nice hairdo," Qiaoguo said jokingly.

"Okay, you comb it. Maybe it's because you've been eating well lately that your waist has gotten thicker." Wanxian looked at herself in the mirror, pinched her cheeks and said.

Kangxi sat on the dragon chariot, touching the flat gold hand stove given by Wanxian in his hand, feeling warm all over his body.

Liang Jiugong, who was outside the dragon chariot, knew that what Long Live Lord likes to hear most now is Shu Concubine's good words, so he said: "Long Live Master, the eunuch who is carrying the sedan chair has become more stable today. It must be the one of Master Shu Concubine." A bowl of ginger soup worked. Mistress Shuconcubine really takes Long Live Lord into consideration, and she served Long Live Lord properly this early in the morning."

Kangxi, who was in the dragon chariot, held the stove and said in a low voice: "You are the only one who talks a lot."

"Didn't I marvel at this concubine's sincerity towards Lord Long Live?" Liang Jiugong said with a laugh.

"Shu concubine's sincerity to me, you still need to talk about it. I don't know it myself, so you have to talk too much." Kangxi said, touching the stove.

"My slave is talking too much." Liang Jiugong knew that Long Live Master was happy, so he started chatting with him.

"I love her so much because I know her sincerity." Kangxi held the stove and said only in the voice he heard.

..."This is a music box sent from England. Listen to it." Kangxi took a delicate box and handed it to Wanxian.

Wanxian took it and looked at the small box with some surprise.

"Listen." Kangxi took the box, turned the law in the box, and then put it to Wanxian's ear to listen.

Wanxian listened carefully, and there was music coming out, a sound she had never heard before. "It's so interesting, why is it gone?" After Wanxian took it, the music disappeared.

"Move it here, and the sound will come out." Kangxi pulled Wanxian to sit on the warm bed, took her hand, and turned the clockwork, and the music came out.

"It's fun." Wanxian played with it curiously.

"Put this down first and take a look at those. Many of them are fun." Kangxi pulled Wanxian and walked to the table. On the table were countless rare treasures imported from foreign countries and places.

"And this is also a full-length peepshow sent from England. Take a look." Kangxi said.Liang Jiugong asked two young eunuchs to carefully bring up a life-size Atlantic mirror.

After Liang Jiugong lifted the cloth covering the peepshow, Kangxi took Wanxian and stood in front of the peepshow.

"This is so clear." Wanxian said, holding Kangxi's hand. "Look, Master Long Live, Master Long Live and this slave can take a really clear picture."

"Do you like it? Place this mirror on your dressing table so that you can see clearly after you put on your new clothes." Kangxi hugged Wanxian and looked at the two people reflected in the mirror and said.

"I like it, I like it." Wanxian liked it so much when she saw the mirror, and she stamped her feet twice in joy.

"Look at you, you are so happy." Kangxi was also happy when he saw Wanxian's happy look.

"Quick, let's take a look at the others." Kangxi said and pulled Wanxian to look at the table.

Wanxian looked at Liang Jiugong who was standing by and remembered what Long Live Lord said yesterday that he would reward Liang Jiugong.Now that Mr. Liang is done, he can take care of himself.Then he said to Kangxi: "Long live my lord, you said you would reward Eunuch Liang with a good thing."

"You are right, Liang Jiugong, the table is full of objects, just pick what you like." Kangxi also remembered what he said yesterday, sat back on the hot kang, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"How can I know these things? Why don't I ask Long Live Lord to pick one as a reward for me?" Liang Jiugong dared to choose these items by himself. These items were all tribute from foreign countries and various places.If the masters outside and in the harem heard that he chose before the masters, that would be fine.

"That's all, let me pick one for you." Kangxi put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to the table.He picked up a jade ring placed in the corner of the table, played with it and said, "This jade ring is good and exquisite. I'll give it to you." Then he picked up the jade ring and handed it to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes. After taking the jade ring with both hands, he knelt on the ground and thanked him: "I thank Lord Long live for the reward and I thank Empress Shu for the reward."

"Come on, your title is not bad. From now on, let's call Shubi the Queen Mother Shu, and we'll get closer to each other." Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong's address to Wanxian and thought it was good, so he said.

"Come on, I will order you to go down immediately." Liang Jiugong stood up and bowed.

"Okay, come here quickly. Take a look and choose something you like." Kangxi waved Wanxian to come to him.

Wanxian quickly walked to Kangxi and took Kangxi's hand.

"The pair of red treasure hairpins are good, keep them. The string of coral beads is also good, and the pair of bracelets are also good. Keep the box of East beads, too, and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make some jewelry with East beads for you." Kangxi He pointed at the woman's jewelry on the table.

When Wanxian heard the word "Dongzhu", she quickly declined and said, "Long live the Lord, I want other slaves. But I don't want slave Dongzhu. The status of a slave does not match my status."

Even if Wanxian is ignorant, she knows that Dongzhu is not something that anyone can wear casually.

According to the rules, the empress uses first-class Dongzhu, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, the second-class Dongzhu, the concubine uses the third-class Dongzhu, and the concubine uses the fourth-class Dongzhu.Therefore, only the queen of the middle palace can use dongzhu to make jewelry, while the other concubines can only use dongzhu to make pairs of earrings.And the Dongzhu that can advance is naturally the best first-class Dongzhu.

"What are you afraid of? There is no one in the harem now. The imperial concubine is not of a high level, how can she use such a good Dongzhu. It is a pity to let this Dongzhu go to waste. It is just right for you to use it." Kangxi knew that Wanxian kept her duty, so she naturally He loves her so much, why should he be so cautious?

"How can a slave use such a precious thing?" Wanxian still declined.

"Oh, Empress Shu. Long live the Lord, why don't you thank Empress Shu quickly? This is a great favor." Liang Jiugong also quickly advised.

"Don't worry, others don't dare to say anything." Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and said seriously.
