The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 179

Yinzhen naturally knows that Nian Xilan has outstanding looks and is the best in the harem, but Kangxi's uncharacteristically doting on a young and beautiful woman with a not-so-prominent family background makes Yinzhen think a little more.Yinzhen thought of Nian Xilan in the side hall of Xianfu Palace who decisively bit his lips and used blood to cure him of the poison of the fragrance in time, and then thought of Kangxi's younger face and healthy body recently, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart, She is even more interested and curious about the outstanding and mysterious Nian Xilan.

Due to the men's dominance, Kangxi was unwilling to let several adult princes eat at the same table with Nian Xilan, so he also wanted to find a suitable and unobtrusive reason as soon as possible for Yinzhen and others to tell first.

Kangxi took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: "Today, you five brothers are all together. Could it be that you made an appointment in advance to have dinner at the Eight Immortals' Residence?"

Yinzhen was the eldest among the several princes present, so he stepped forward and reported respectfully: "Today, the fourteenth brother is the host and invited his son to come to the Eight Immortals for dinner. The eighth brother and other three brothers who came here to eat together. It happened that the tenth brother forgot to reserve a private room in advance, so after discussing, the brothers decided to have a meal together in advance to celebrate the [-]-day happiness of the fourteenth brother's family. "

Kangxi smiled and nodded, but he thought to himself: How come you brothers and I don't see how similar your thoughts are on weekdays, but everyone can come up with some new tricks for him, which is really a headache.Now I just chose a restaurant to accompany Lan'er to have a good dinner, but you brothers also chose the same restaurant to eat at the same time, you really are a group of brats who don't worry!

"Since that's the case, you brothers can go to eat on your own. Eating at the same table as your father will make you too reserved and unable to talk and laugh freely." Kangxi smiled and began to drive people away calmly.

Yinzhen and Yinhu brothers looked at each other, a look of helplessness flashed in their eyes, and they all sighed in their hearts that the emperor's father's method of driving people away was really clever, and he used such a high-sounding reason, which is really admirable.

The princes hurriedly bowed and resigned knowingly, and quickly exited the private room.

When Kangxi thought that Yinzhen and Yinhu's brothers were dining in the private room next door, he couldn't help but feel a little concerned. He felt that there was no way to make out with Nian Xilan as comfortably as before, and he saw that Nian Xilan had already stopped chopsticks , and asked with a smile: "Is Lan'er full? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Nian Xilan gave Kangxi a reproachful look, and sighed helplessly: "Could it be that the master is really a greedy pig to raise? There are still many dishes on the table that have not been used up! How can the concubine eat now?" Download something else?"

Kangxi smiled, and said softly: "In that case, let's go to Zhenbaozhai for a stroll, and take a walk to digest food, and save stomach discomfort."

Nian Xilan was naturally very willing to hurry up and leave this private room separated from Yinzhen by a wall, so she readily nodded her promise, and left the Eight Immortals' Residence together with Kangxi.

The Zhenbaozhai located in Liulichang outside the Heping Gate in the capital is a well-known shop in the capital. Because the owner has a good vision, there are indeed many rare antiques and valuable antique calligraphy and paintings in the Zhenbaozhai.Although there are many fakes among them, it is not easy to have a value worth visiting in the eyes of Kangxi.

Shopkeeper Wang has a good eye for people. From the moment Kangxi brought Nian Xilan into the store, he could see that the two were elegant and well-dressed, so he warmly greeted Kangxi and Nian Xilan in person, and greeted Kangxi and Nian Xilan. The two went directly to the second floor, and pointed out the rare and valuable antique calligraphy and paintings in Zhenbao Zhai to them one by one.

Since Nian Xilan married into Prince Yong's Mansion in her previous life, she seldom went out. Afterwards, she came to live in the Forbidden City with Yinzhen, who was enthroned as emperor, and never had the chance to leave the palace.From being inexplicably trapped in the Forbidden City for more than a hundred years after her death to her rebirth, except for the last time Kangxi took her out of the palace in micro-clothes to buy candied haws, Nian Xilan never had the chance to leave the palace to relax.

Therefore, although Nian Xilan didn't have much interest in antique calligraphy and painting at all, but because of this extremely rare leisurely and peaceful mood, Nian Xilan still stared at her bright and clear eyes, looking at them with relish in Zhenbaozhai.

Nian Xilan saw a delicate pear flower hairpin carved from mutton fat white jade, so she couldn't help holding it in her hand and playing with it curiously.

When shopkeeper Wang saw that Nian Xilan was interested in this pear hairpin, he quickly bowed and told the story of the pear hairpin in detail. "This lady has such a good eye, she chose the most expensive jewelry in the store at a glance. This pear hairpin is exquisitely carved from top-grade suet white jade. What's even more rare is that this pear hairpin is made of It was an ornament presented to Empress Wei by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Since the lady has an alluring appearance, if she wears this pear flower hairpin once worn by Empress Wei, she will definitely be more beautiful. According to the following, the appearance of the lady is similar to that Compared to Empress Wei, I'm afraid she is even better!"

Kangxi originally saw that Nian Xilan was interested in this pear flower hairpin, and was planning to buy it as a gift to her.However, at this time, I can't help but feel very taboo when I hear what shopkeeper Wang said about the origin of this pear flower hairpin.

Now in the eyes of Kangxi, his Laner is unparalleled in the world, how can it be compared with Wei Zifu who was born as a singer and ended up committing suicide!
Kangxi frowned and strode forward, snatched the pear hairpin from Nian Xilan's hand and put it back, commenting disdainfully: "When I heard the name of this hairpin, I felt quite unlucky, and looking at Queen Wei's life experience, it is even more so. It proves that this pear flower hairpin is not an auspicious object. If Lan'er likes this style of hairpin, I will find some good craftsmen of Yuming to make a new one for you."

When Nian Xilan heard about the origin of this pear flower hairpin, she also felt a little uncomfortable.Leaving aside the ups and downs of Empress Wei's life, just looking at the tragic ending of Prince Li Liu Ju made Nian Xilan, who loves her son like her life, feel lingering fear.

Seeing Kangxi caring about her so much at this time, Nian Xilan couldn't help but feel happy, so she smiled softly and replied softly: "The master is right, thank you for taking care of me. It is auspicious for me to see pomegranate flowers. Why don't you give my concubine a pomegranate hairpin!"

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan's beautiful smile and heard her say that she wanted a pomegranate hairpin. His gaze swept over Nian Xilan's still flat belly, and his eyes couldn't help being more tender: "It's rare that Lan'er likes it. Master must give Lan Er the most beautiful pomegranate flower hairpin as a gift!"
