Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 146 Thoughtful

On the way back, Mao Tongtong kept thinking about the Concubine De whom he had just met.

Concubine De is now in her thirties, but she is still well maintained.Looks like thirty or so.His appearance is not glamorous like Wei Shi's, but soft and beautiful.

He speaks softly and smiles softly.She is the kind of woman who makes people feel good just by looking at her.

But thinking about the indifferent mother-child relationship between her and fourth master in history, combined with the impression of Concubine De just now, Mao Tongtong felt quite contradictory.

How could such a kind person treat his own son badly?Even after Kangxi's death, she was unwilling to be the queen mother, and insisted that Kangxi passed on the throne to the Fourteenth Lord, and suspected that the Fourth Lord had tampered with the imperial edict.Obviously she should be a gentle mother who loves her children very much.

Is it because fourth master was raised by Queen Tong's side since he was a child?But there are many things like this in the palace.At that time, Concubine De's status was low, and she couldn't raise her own children at all.Like Concubine Hui, the elder brother was still sent outside the palace to be raised!

No matter how you are your own child, and later returned to your side, how can you not like it?

"Hey, it's really strange!" Mao Tongtong shook his head.History itself is hidden in thick fog.Things like this are harder to tell apart.Unless she can dress up as the fourth master or the person next to Concubine De, I'm afraid she will know what's going on.

"Gege, what are you talking about strangely?" Qingzhu asked puzzled.

It turned out that Mao Tongtong accidentally said what was in his heart.

"Ah, it's nothing. I said it's strange that the concubine de concubine can take a fancy to my paintings." Mao Tongtong said nonsense.

"It's not surprising!" Qing Zhu said, "Ge Ge's painting is really good! Although it's not colored, it looks very similar."

"I originally wanted to draw and make embroidery samples." Mao Tongtong laughed.

She loves flowers that vary from season to season and embroiders them onto everyday objects.Such as handkerchiefs, such as purses, such as socks and so on.

She didn't bring anything when she entered the palace, and now she is making up for it season by season.

I embroidered crabapples in spring, lotus in summer, chrysanthemums now, and plum blossoms in winter.

Although the appearance of these flowers is engraved in her mind, she prefers to observe closely every year when the season comes, and then redraw the embroidery samples, and finally turn them into new embroidery.

"Ge Ge can paint again tomorrow." Qingzhu said.

"It's okay, I can still paint when I get back." Mao Tongtong smiled.

Concubine De admired the flowers in the imperial garden, and seeing the sun getting bigger, she went back to Yonghe Palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Yonghe Palace, he saw Kangxi coming at some time.

"My concubine greets Lord Long Live." Concubine De hurriedly blessed her body.

"How are the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden blooming?" Kangxi asked with a slight smile.

"Well, there seem to be more varieties this year than last year. It's the season of blooming, it's so beautiful! If it wasn't for the bright sun, I wouldn't even want to go back to the palace." Concubine De smiled softly: "Long live lord Come, don't let anyone call me a concubine, wait a long time."

"This year Jiangnan sent new varieties to Beijing." Kangxi said with a smile: "I thought you would come back for lunch, so I didn't bother to send someone there."

"It's no wonder there are so many varieties this year, so there are some who pay tribute." The smile on Concubine De's face was even bigger.In this palace, she is the only concubine who likes chrysanthemums.Kangxi's move made her feel hot.

"I see that the chrysanthemums in your palace are also growing very well." Kangxi said, looking at the row of chrysanthemums at the foot of the palace wall.

"Long Live Lord gave it to my concubine back then. Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I can still open it every year." Concubine De laughed.

"Growing flowers requires patience and care. In this palace, you are the only one who grows the best flowers." Kangxi said.

"Thank you, Lord Long Live, for your compliment." Concubine De smiled and said, "The flowers in Sister Hui's palace are also growing well."

Kangxi smiled and didn't comment.

When the two entered the room, Concubine De said to Cai He, who was waiting beside her, "Put that painting away, and embroider a purse for me some other day."

"Yes." Caihe replied.

"What painting?" Kangxi asked.

Concubine De took a look at Caihe, and she quickly handed it over to Kangxi.

"What kind of painting is this?" Kangxi asked strangely when he saw the painting.

Concubine De didn't answer, but asked instead: "Long Live Lord only said that the painting is good?"

"Well, not bad. Although it looks simple, it is also lifelike." Kangxi commented.He is now curious about the painting tool.

"This is a charcoal drawing." Concubine De explained, "It was drawn with burnt charcoal."

"Where did you get it? Who in the palace would paint with this?" Kangxi became even more curious.

"Guess Long Live?" Concubine De smiled playfully.

"I know you?" Kangxi said.If it was someone he didn't know, Concubine De would not let him guess.

Concubine De nodded, and said: "My concubine will remind Lord Long Live. Although Lord Long Live has never met this person, he knows her. Moreover, Lord Long Live rewarded her personally. It will be within these three months!"

"Oh?" Kangxi also became interested.Since it is the person he rewarded, the scope of this is small.It could still be someone De Fei can meet in the imperial garden.

After thinking for a while, Kangxi said with a trace of disbelief: "The eighth brother's princess?" The tone was not sure.

"Long Live Lord is really amazing!" Concubine De smiled and said, "I guessed it right away. It's her!"

"Haha, really, versatile?" Kangxi laughed as he said that, if being able to swim is considered an art, this can be called a talent.

"Looking at Jiaojiao and Xiaojiao, I really can't believe how she saved Eighth Brother from the lake." Concubine De said.

"Haha, at that time, I asked the eighth elder brother specifically if he was very strong. As a result, he replied that the Mao family is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he is quite petite." Kangxi laughed.

"Sister Hui has a good eye, the one I chose for the eighth elder brother is good." Concubine De said.

"Yes. For the eighth prince, she still cares about it." Kangxi nodded.

"That's right. The eighth elder brother and the eldest elder brother are like brothers born to a mother, and they have a good relationship." Concubine De said.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.Kangxi lowered his eyes and said: "Brothers and friends, it's not bad."

Concubine De smiled and said: "What would Lord Long Live want for lunch today? The concubine is interested in making dumplings today, would Lord Long Live want to try it?"

"Xuehua's skill in making dumplings has always been better than that of Yushanfang, so it's natural to eat." Kangxi said.

"Long Live Lord, after a while, everything is ready in the small kitchen, and the concubine will have it in a while." Concubine De smiled and got up to bless her, and then she went out of the room to the small kitchen.

Kangxi looked at her back and became thoughtful.
