Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 350 Spring Night
At night, as soon as Kangxi returned to the bedroom of Hehuan Hall, he saw a vase with lotus flowers and lotus leaves placed on the Kang table.

Kangxi smiled and hugged Wanxian who came to greet her, and said, "As soon as I came in, I smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers all over the room."

"Well, today I went with the Queen Mother and Galudai to pick lotus flowers in the pond of Lianhua Rock." Wan Xian said happily: "I also met several lotus pods. The lotus seeds are so sweet, I will leave them for you. Yes." Wanxian said and quickly walked to the Kang table and picked up a porcelain bowl placed on the Kang table.

There were a few peeled snow-white lotus seeds in the porcelain bowl.

Kangxi lifted up his hem and sat upright on the heated Kang.

Wanxian immediately stuck to Kangxi's side and fed a lotus seed into Kangxi's mouth.

Kangxi chewed the lotus seeds with a smile and then looked at Wanxian's eyes tenderly.

Wanxian picked up another lotus seed and wanted to feed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi shook his head, took the lotus seeds from Wanxian's hand, and stuffed them into Wanxian's mouth.

After Wanxian quickly ate the lotus seeds, she asked curiously: "Long live Lord, what method did the Ministry of Internal Affairs think of to make the lotus flowers bloom in May, and some even have lotus seeds?"

Kangxi gently stroked Wanxian's scattered hair in front of her forehead and answered her questions: "It was the spring water from Yuquan Mountain that was introduced into the lotus pond. So the lotus flowers in the lotus pond also bloomed."

Wanxian snuggled into Kangxi's arms and deliberately showed off: "Long live my lord, I am learning poetry from Galudai today."

"Oh, what poems have you learned? Read it to me?" Kangxi touched the back of Wanxian's head and asked seriously.

"It's Ode to the Willow written by He Zhizhang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: Jasper makes up a tree as high as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors. Long live the Lord, is this slave reading it correctly?" Wan Xian Said excitedly.

Kangxi sincerely praised: "Yes, yes, yes, why is it wrong? You read it really well."

"I learned this by the lake at Peach Blossom Embankment. I already know the meaning of this poem. Long live my Lord, can I explain it to you?" Wan Xian acted coquettishly, as if she was being praised by the teacher in class. Afterwards, the child went home to show off to his parents.

Kangxi said indulgently: "Okay, tell me what you say, and I will listen to your meaning, okay?"

Wanxian nodded and quickly explained: "The tall willow trees are covered with new green leaves, and the hanging willow branches are like thousands of gently fluttering green ribbons floating by the lake. I don't know the thin willow leaves. Who cut it out? It was the spring breeze in February, like magic scissors. Is your explanation correct?" At the end, Wanxian asked Kangxi.

Kangxi nodded fondly on Wanxian's forehead and praised: "Yes, yes, my little girl is really amazing. After only studying for a while, she knows a poem."

"I also learned another poem about lotus. I will read it to you again, okay?" Wanxian held Kangxi's hand and said proudly.

Kangxi pulled Wanxian to stand up and said, "Okay, as long as you are happy. But let's not talk about it here. How about we lie on the bed and talk about it? It's not too early now."

"I know, long live my lord, I will help you change your clothes." Wanxian nodded and quickly pulled Kangxi to the bed.

The smile on Kangxi's face never faded as he looked at Wanxian who was busy working for him in front of him.

Kangxi felt more and more happy.These days, Wanxian and Galudai seem to be causing chaos in Changchun Garden.Kangxi was not unaware of the private complaints among the concubines and his servants.But seeing Wanxian and Galudai playing more and more excitedly and happily, Kangxi was reluctant to stop them.Moreover, Kangxi not only did not blame the two people for causing trouble, but also blamed those who complained.It was just two little girls playing around, and those who complained were too stingy to tolerate the two children.

Wanxian carefully unbuttoned the buttons on Kangxi's robe and said, "Long live my lord, today the Queen Mother gave me a set of Diancui head and face. I like it very much."

"Really? If you like it, I will ask the Construction Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a few more sets for you tomorrow." After Kangxi took off his outer robe, he said to Xiang Xiang.

Wanxian shook her head and said, "No, I can't even wear my jewelry. Besides, I think it's a bit old-fashioned for me to wear jade jewelry now."

"You, you are the only ignorant little girl who thinks that her jewelry can't be worn. If it were anyone else, she would have been happy to accept the order and thank you." Kangxi gritted his teeth and laughed as he scolded the ignorant little girl in front of him.Seeing Kangxi scolding her, Wanxian angrily pushed Kangxi, who was only wearing underwear, into the bed.

Kangxi was not angry either, he crossed his legs and watched Wanxian taking off her clothes.

Wanxian was originally taking off her clothes, but she found a hot look looking at her.Wanxian took a careful look and saw Kangxi who had been staring at her. Wanxian's face suddenly turned red.He quickly said coquettishly to Kangxi: "Long live my Lord, please turn around and don't look at me."

"Why don't you look at it? Your whole body belongs to me. I haven't seen anything about you up and down." Kangxi teased Wanxian.

Wan Xian jumped to her feet and said anxiously: "Fangzheng is not allowed to look at it, so you are not allowed to look at it. If you do, then you can sleep alone. I will sleep in the side room."

"Nonsense, okay, it's not enough if I don't want to see it. You can take it off." Seeing that Wanxian was really anxious, Kangxi stopped teasing Wanxian and lay down on his own.

After Wanxian saw that Kangxi was really lying down, she quickly took off her clothes, tidied them up, and got on the bed.

After Wanxian got on the bed, Kangxi quickly pressed Wanxian under him.Still speaking in Wanxian's ear, she said pitifully: "You little girl, have you become a lot more courageous recently? How dare you threaten me now?"

"Long live Lord..., this slave didn't mean it. Why don't you insist on looking at me? Long live Lord, please don't do this. This slave is afraid." Wan Xian said in fear.

Kangxi quickly unbuttoned Wanxian's inner garment, revealing the water-red bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Wanxian quickly closed her eyes when she saw Kangxi's actions.Kangxi gently bit Wanxian's white shoulder and said, "I can tell you, I only spared you for the sake of tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like biting your shoulder. But I bite your neck."

Wanxian opened her eyes, put her arms around Kangxi's neck and said flatteringly, "Long live Lord, you are so kind. I will know that you are the best to me."

When Kangxi saw Wanxian's fawning look on his face, no matter how angry he was, all his anger disappeared.He touched Wanxian's little face and said, "Didn't you say you still want Lu Dai to learn a lotus poem? Why don't you read it to me quickly?"

"Well, I have learned a song written by Yang Wanli, a poet of the Song Dynasty, about leaving Jingci Temple to see off Lin Zifang at dawn. After all, in June, the scenery of the West Lake is different from that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red. Long live Master, this is a poem describing the summer scenery of West Lake, isn't it?" Wanxian quickly told Kangxi the poems she had learned.

Kangxi pulled Wanxian around, held Wanxian in his arms, and said: "Yes and no. There are two poems about Xiao leaving Jingci Temple to see Lin Zifang. What you just read is the second one, and there is another one. The first is: When we came out of the West Lake, the moon was still shining, and the lotus flowers were blooming among the willows. The world was red and fragrant, and it was a cool country. After traveling to the southern mountains, we found the northern mountains."

"What does this mean?" Wanxian asked, leaning her head on Kangxi's chest.

Kangxi explained to Wanxian: "Lin Zifang, who came out of Jingci Temple to see Lin Zifang off at dawn, was a good friend of the poet Yang Wanli. They were talking to each other and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them in Jingci Temple on the edge of the West Lake. This poem is also a farewell poem for Yang Wanli. Poems written by friends.”

"I see. I thought this was just a poem about lotus. I didn't expect it to have so many meanings." Wanxian said after listening to Kangxi's explanation.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's smooth shoulder and became distracted.Kangxi tempted: "Since you are so eager to learn, I will teach you a poem today, okay?"

"Okay, long live my Lord, please tell me." Wanxian quickly agreed.

"Spring night, Su Shi. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. The flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. The singing pipes are singing softly on the balcony, and the night is heavy in the swing courtyard." Kangxi whispered to Wanxian without a red face and a heartbeat.

Although Wanxian had no knowledge, she always felt that the poem Kangxi mentioned was a bit strange.

Before Wanxian could react.Kangxi immediately took off Wanxian's half-dressed underwear, kissed Wanxian's little face and murmured: "This ancient poem says it well, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

What Wanxian wanted to say was drowned out by Kangxi.
