The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 177

In the private room, Kangxi was persuading Nian Xilan to eat less oily spicy noodles and red soup wontons, when he heard the report from the imperial guard outside the private room that several young masters happened to come to the Eight Immortals for dinner, and learned that the master was here In the future, I want to come in and say hello to the master.Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards reported the rankings of several princes to Kangxi.

Hearing the report from the imperial guards, Kangxi was extremely depressed.

Kangxi secretly begged him to take Nian Xilan out of the palace twice in total, why did he meet his adult sons both times?The old man who was sold candied gourds when he met Yinzhen brothers last time, don't think he is Nian Xilan's father, but this time he met Yinzhen and Yinhu brothers, maybe something unexpected will happen things come.And he just wanted to have a quiet and sweet dinner with Lan'er, why is it so difficult?

Nian Xilan was a little flustered when she heard the prince's ranking reported by the imperial guards.However, after a while, Nian Xilan calmed down again.

Although Nian Xilan once hoped that she would not hear or see Yinzhen again for a period of time, so as to let the matter of Xianfu Palace gradually fade in her heart as soon as possible, so as to successfully conceal the matter from Kangxi .Otherwise, with Kangxi's keenness and shrewdness, as long as she is not paying attention and makes an inappropriate reaction, it will immediately arouse Kangxi's suspicion, and all the achievements she has made before will be wiped out because of this mistake .

However, since the concubine Niu Hulu testified against Yinzhen not long ago, Nian Xilan has discovered that there are some things that you can avoid as far as you want, not because you want to escape.These past events that you wish to forget will even follow you like a shadow. If you can't forget them completely immediately, you have to get used to them following you like a shadow.

Kangxi turned his head to Nian Xilan and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I just ask them to come in and say a few words. You can continue to eat, don't pay attention to them."

Nian Xilan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, thinking quickly in her mind how to deal with this matter.Nian Xilan knew in her heart that if the concubine Niu Hulu's accusation against Yinzhen hadn't happened, she would just have to pretend nothing had happened when facing Yinzhen, and get along with Yinzhen as if he were any other prince.

However, after learning about the concubine Niu Hulu's testimony against Yinzhen, even though Kangxi doesn't believe what Niu Hulu said now, she can't remain unresponsive, just pretending that it never happened.However, the degree of this reaction is extremely subtle. Not only is it too much, but we must also pay attention to choosing the right time.

While Nian Xilan was secretly struggling, Yinzhen and several other princes had already entered the private room under Kangxi's summons.

When the princes saw Nian Xilan beside Kangxi, their eyes flashed with surprise, and then they turned their eyes away by coincidence, and respectfully greeted Kangxi and Nian Xilan.

Because of the unintentional exclamation of the fourteenth brother just now, Yinzhen suddenly realized that his recent behavior of escaping would arouse the suspicion of Kangxi and other brothers.Therefore, when he first met Nian Xilan, Yinzhen did not deliberately avoid his gaze, but like other princes, he first glanced curiously at the woman sitting next to Kangxi, and after seeing the identity of the woman, he naturally He showed a look of surprise, and then avoided his sight according to etiquette.

Kangxi calmly saw the change in Yinzhen's expression just now, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and believed even more that Yinzhen was maliciously slandered by the concubine Niu Hulu.

According to the plan she had just thought up in her mind, Nian Xilan was about to say something to Kangxi, but suddenly a small piece of pepper in her mouth choked her throat, she coughed uncontrollably, tears poured down uncontrollably, She looks so embarrassed.

Because Nian Xilan's cough was earth-shattering, the princes once again attracted curious watching.Yinzhen also looked at Nian Xilan, although he had the same expression on his face as the other princes, but secretly doubted whether Nian Xilan's sudden cough was intentional or not.

Seeing that Nian Xilan suddenly coughed like this, Kangxi couldn't help but feel very anxious. He reached out and patted Nian Xilan's back lightly, and asked uneasily, "I was fine just now, why did I cough so badly all of a sudden? Is it choking?" arrive?"

Nian Xilan was already coughing so hard that she couldn't speak at this time, she nodded vigorously, pointed at the red soup wonton in front of her, and then pointed at her own throat, then glanced away and saw the little girl in front of Kangxi What happened to be the soup of crab roe noodles in the bowl, I couldn't help thinking about it, picked up the small bowl in front of Kangxi with an anxious expression on purpose, and eagerly brought it to my mouth.

Kangxi frowned, snatched the small bowl from Nian Xilan's hand neatly, took a bowl of non-spicy black-bone chicken soup with red dates that Fang Wan had just served for Nian Xilan, and handed it to Nian Xilan.

Nian Xilan gave Kangxi a grateful look, and then quickly drank all the small bowl of black chicken soup with red dates in her hand, barely stopping her cough.

Nian Xilan wiped the tears on her face with a brocade handkerchief, and apologized to Kangxi embarrassingly: "My concubine just choked on a chili pepper, I lost my manners, please forgive me!"

Kangxi smiled and comforted him, "It's just choking on chili peppers, so it's not a crime. But you should be more careful when you eat in the future, especially if you are addicted to spicy food recently. If you choke on chili peppers, I will suffer again!"
