The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 183

Kangxi took the eyebrow stone from Fang Wan's hand, and gently swept it over Nian Xilan's slender, crescent-like eyebrows, making her look more and more Nian Xilan's eyebrows, which are like distant mountains, elegant and elegant.

Kangxi put down the eyebrow stone, looked carefully at Nian Xilan's delicate and beautiful face, and said with a slight smile: "I really like Laner's original light pink lip color, if I use thick and colorful rouge, it will stain Laner's beautiful face instead. Color. From my point of view, Lan'er is very good dressed like this now."

Nian Xilan's eyes showed joy, and she said softly: "If the emperor thinks this concubine's attire looks good today, how about I often dress like this in the future?"

Kangxi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "In my eyes, my Lan'er looks good no matter how she dresses up."

Nian Xilan was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushed like the morning glow.

At this time, Li Dequan had already presented the breakfast prepared for Nian Xilan according to Kangxi's instructions.Kangxi took Nian Xilan's hand and walked to the table with her.Nian Xilan looked at today's dishes, and found that although the eight dishes on the table were delicious, they were all vegetarian dishes.

Nian Xilan looked at Kangxi puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, why is there no meat in today's breakfast? Could it be that today is a special day?"

"Today is not a special day." Kangxi smiled and explained, "It's just that if your breakfast today is too greasy, it will be somewhat inappropriate for what I plan to take you to do next."

Nian Xilan tilted her head and frowned lightly for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the emperor plans to bring his concubine to Guangji Temple today to offer incense and fulfill his wish?"

Kangxi smiled and nodded Nian Xilan's upturned little nose, "Lan'er is really smart, she guessed it right."

As Kangxi spoke, he put some of Nian Xilan's favorite vegetarian dishes into the small bowl in front of her, and said softly: "It's still early at this time, Lan'er, don't worry, it's important to eat more breakfast, your current body You can’t help but be hungry. After you finish your breakfast, let Fanglin and Fangwan wait on you to change into thick cotton clothes, and put on a sable cape before going out. The weather outside is very cold, if you accidentally catch the cold Liang, this is no joke!"

Nian Xilan was so happy that she rolled her eyes with a smile, thinking that today she could go to Guangji Temple to worship incense and fulfill her wish, and finally settled a part of her mind. She couldn't help being happy in her heart, and she looked forward to the next trip even more.

Nian Xilan originally planned to finish her breakfast as soon as possible so that she could leave for Guangji Temple earlier to fulfill her vows.However, under Kangxi's scorching gaze, Nian Xilan could only eat her breakfast slowly, and finished all the dishes that Kangxi had served her, before getting Kangxi's permission to go to change clothes and make up.

Dressed up by Fang Lin and Fang Wan's skilful hands, Nian Xilan quickly finished dressing and walked towards Kangxi with a smile on her face.

Kangxi looked up and saw that Nian Xilan was wearing a fragrant pomegranate flower butterfly pattern cotton robe and a royal blue satin sable cape. Her soft and full hair was tied into a fragrant bun with two gold threads inlaid with red The jeweled durian ruyi hairpin, and the bright white jade Haowan wear two gold filigree butterfly dancing gold bracelets.Slim, graceful and elegant, Kangxi smiled with satisfaction, and nodded slightly to Nian Xilan, her smiling phoenix eyes were full of admiration.

Kangxi personally handed a delicate and small hand warmer to Nian Xilan, boarded the carriage with Nian Xilan, ordered Li Dequan, Fang Wan, and Mu Jin to follow and serve, and took dozens of imperial guards to accompany him, and set off After leaving the palace, go directly to Guangji Temple.

In front of the majestic and noble gate of Prince Yong's Mansion, Yinzhen was about to leave in a carriage, but he saw the fourteenth younger brother galloping towards him on a fine horse.

Seeing the fourth brother's carriage, Yinzhen quickly pulled the rein to stabilize the mount, and said with a loud smile: "I got two jugs of good wine today, and I specially brought them to share with the fourth brother. We two brothers haven't had a good drink for a long time It’s gone! Today, I must not get drunk or return home!”

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Originally the fourteenth brother invited me, so I would be happy to attend the appointment. However, I just got the news the night before last that Zen Master Huiming from Guangji Temple has returned from his travels and will be speaking scriptures in Guangji Temple today. I have already handed in the invitation letter yesterday morning, and I have an appointment with Zen Master Huiming to drink tea and play chess this afternoon. To show my sincerity and respect, I am not inconvenient to drink alcohol today. If the fourteenth brother is interested, why not go to Guangji Temple with the fourth brother to listen to Huiming Zen master lectures on Buddhist scriptures?"

When Yinzhen heard this, he was so frightened that his color changed immediately, and he waved his hands again and again to politely refuse: "Fourth brother, please forgive my younger brother! Every time I am dragged by my fourth brother to Guangji Temple to listen to Buddhist scriptures, I will commit suicide before I hear a few words." Sleepy. Therefore, today, it is better for the fourth brother to go to Zen Master Huiming to play chess alone, and I will come to drink with the fourth brother some other day!"

As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, he crossed his legs and rode away on a steed, but disappeared without a trace after a while.

Looking at the back of his fourteenth younger brother fleeing, Yinzhen raised the corners of his lips slightly, but then he remembered something, and Yinzhen gradually tightened his brows again.

Yinzhen sighed lightly, and told the attendant who was driving: "Let's go, go to Guangji Temple."

Yinzhen's carriage traveled very fast all the way, and arrived at Guangji Temple not long after.

Yinzhen went to the main hall first to offer incense and pray for blessings in accordance with past habits.However, just as Yinzhen walked to the front of the main hall, he saw an extremely familiar and delicate figure.
