The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 208

Kangxi pointed to the pink-blue narcissus-patterned flag that Fangruo was holding in both hands, and said softly to Nian Xilan: "Put on this flag, and I will take you to a place."

"A place?" Nian Xilan looked at the exquisite padded gown she was wearing, blinked her eyes in surprise, and guessed curiously: "Could it be that the emperor plans to take his concubine out of the palace to visit the Lantern Market?"

Kangxi smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to pinch Nian Xilan's pretty face, "If Lan'er is not pregnant at this time, I will definitely take you to the east and west markets to watch lanterns and guess riddles! It's just that Lan'er has a big belly now, and there are so many people in the market. If you bump into Lan'er, it will not be beautiful. However, I know that you, a little girl, must really want to go out of the palace to watch the excitement, so I decided to take you to a ...something different..."

Kangxi's words completely aroused the curiosity in Nian Xilan's heart.Under Fang Ruo's service, Nian Xilan changed her clothes, combed her simple and soft hair again, put on a royal blue mink cape, and walked towards Kangxi with a smile.

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan's attire, smiled and nodded, but looked at Nian Xilan's empty hands, frowned slightly, turned his head and told Fangruo: "It's cold outside, take some for Concubine Xi." Here comes a hand warmer."

Fang Ruo was about to turn around and go to the hand warmer for Nian Xilan, but Nian Xilan waved her hands to stop her: "I'm not cold at all, and I don't need a hand warmer!"

When Kangxi saw that Nian Xilan insisted on not holding the hand warmer, he couldn't help but tighten his brows even more. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Nian Xilan's blushing face quickly glanced at him, and then stretched out her tender little hand, gently Gently took his broad palm.

"Your Majesty, look, my concubine's hands are not cold at all, are they?" Nian Xilan couldn't help pausing for a moment when she said this, and then sighed softly: "Everyone in the world says that if a woman's hands are always slightly cold , it shows that no one loves this woman. The emperor loves me so much, how can my hands be always cold? Even though my hands were a little cold before, they have been covered by the emperor's love for a long time now. It's hot!"

When Kangxi heard what Nian Xilan said, he couldn't help but think a little more, and suddenly felt a sense of joy and satisfaction. Not only did he not feel that Nian Xilan was arrogant, reckless and rude, but he felt that she was frank and honest, very cute.

Kangxi thought that the place he planned to take Nian Xilan to later was specially arranged to make Nian Xilan happy. Although there were many people there, they were all court ladies and eunuchs. Nian Xilan and the two of them became more and more indifferent to the rules they had adhered to when they were young.

Kangxi shook Nian Xilan's soft little hand with moderate strength, and his fingertips just slid across Nian Xilan's delicate palm, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's not use the hand warmer that is in the way today! Wait a while if Lan Er feels cold hands, just hold my hand, my hands are Lan Er's hand warmer..."

Nian Xilan felt a sweetness in her heart, and the gentle smile on her face brought more obvious sweetness and happiness.

Because Nian Xilan couldn't restrain her curiosity, even when she was sitting in the palace sedan chair, she would often lift the corner of the sedan chair curtain and look out curiously.When the palace sedan stopped in front of the imperial garden, Nian Xilan was even more puzzled, wondering if the mysterious place that Kangxi talked about was the imperial garden that she had visited many times?

Kangxi got off the imperial chariot, walked to the palace sedan chair where Nian Xilan was riding, stretched out his hand to hold Nian Xilan's little hand, helped her out of the palace sedan chair, and explained softly to Nian Xilan's puzzled eyes: "Tonight Although the imperial garden is brightly decorated with lanterns, it is only open for Lan Er."

As Kangxi spoke, he took Nianxi's hand and led her into the brightly lit and bustling imperial garden.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Nian Xilan couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. She pointed at roadside pavements and various lanterns that were very similar to those in the streets of the capital, and asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, these interesting little Are the paving and lanterns specially ordered by you to prepare for this concubine?"

Kangxi nodded, and said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to take Lan'er out of the palace to visit the lantern market and guess lantern riddles on this year's Lantern Festival, but I didn't expect Lan'er to be pregnant again soon. Therefore, for the safety of Laner and the fetus in her belly, this year's Laner Festival trip of incognito clothes outside the palace can only be stopped. However, I am really looking forward to seeing the surprise smile on Laner's face, so I ordered The palace people prepared these for Lan'er. Although it is far less lively than the Lantern Festival Lantern Market in the capital, it still has the atmosphere and taste of the Lantern Festival Lantern Market. If these meager things can make Bo Lan'er smile, I have not wasted all these thoughts and efforts."

Nian Xilan turned her head to look at Kangxi, only to see that he was staring at her from the side, his deep phoenix eyes overflowing with affection.At this moment, Nian Xilan was obviously very happy in her heart, but her eyes could not help but mist.

Nian Xilan didn't want Kangxi to see her crying at this time, so she blinked her eyes quickly, and said with a small smile, "I didn't expect the night wind to be so strong at night, which made my eyes dazzled..."

Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan with a half-smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "It really is a strong night wind! Since Lan'er was blinded by the wind and sand, how about letting me blow her eyes?"

Nianxi Lan, who had been seen through her mind, gave Kangxi an angry look. In order to change the subject, she simply dragged Kangxi to a stall selling candied haws, pointed at the crystal and attractive candied haws, and said coquettishly to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, This concubine wants to eat candied haws... but I don't know if the emperor needs to pay money this time?"
