The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 277

Looking at these two snacks, looking at Nian Xilan's beautiful face, Yinzhen couldn't help but recall that in that dream that resembled his previous life, Nian Xilan was originally the same as himself in that he didn't like sweets.She doesn't even like the various exquisite snacks that women love in 10 minutes, but she only likes to eat mint cakes and mung bean buns, which are seasonal delicacies from the south of the Yangtze River, because these two dim sums are mainly made of peeled mung beans with mint juice It is made with light and elegant color, fresh and cool. It is most suitable for eating in midsummer, and it has the effect of refreshing and promoting body fluid, relieving heat and cooling down.Nian Xilan, who has always been pampered and never touched the spring water, learned how to make these two snacks from the cook in the palace, and presented them to her like a treasure after she made them. , just to please yourself.

Yinzhen took a piece of mint cake and put it in his mouth. The delicate mung bean paste filled his mouth with the coolness of mint juice, which immediately drove away some of the heat on Yinzhen's body.Yinzhen chewed and ate the mint cake slowly, hiding his infinite nostalgia and loss deep in his heart, and there was a light smile line on his usually cold face.

Yinzhen swallowed the last bite of the mint cake, raised his head, looked at Kangxi and Nian Xilan, and sincerely thanked: "I thank the emperor Ama for the reward. The mint cake is delicious, and I like it very much."

Since there is only a small table between the carved red sandalwood chairs where Kangxi and Nian Xilan are sitting, when Yinzhen looked up at the two of them, although he was looking at Kangxi on the surface, Nian Xilan was sensitive. She felt that Yinzhen's soft gaze swept across her body, leaving behind a trace of tender affection.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a smile: "I remember that the fourth child never liked sweets, so I thought that the fourth child would not be too interested in these Jiangnan delicacies. I didn't expect these two snacks to be right. The fourth child's appetite is also considered a miracle."

"My son did not like sweets before, but now, after using the fine snacks given by Huang Ama, I feel that it is also a pleasure to occasionally eat some sweet but not greasy snacks." Yinzhen replied with a smile Dao, there is a bit of softness that is rarely seen in the gentle voice.

Although Kangxi didn't know about Yinzhen's emotional ups and downs just now, he always inexplicably felt that Yinzhen's words were a little weird, as if there was something in the words, implying something, and he couldn't help feeling a little bored.

Raising his eyebrows, Kangxi decided to clarify the matter, and asked directly: "As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. The fourth child suddenly has a big change in taste. Could it be because of some confidante?"

Yinzhen's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, it's here.On the face, he frowned, showing embarrassment, coughed softly, and explained in a low voice: "It's just a concubine whom I have favored recently, she is just an ordinary woman, It’s not even a confidante.”

"The woman you mentioned, but the concubine you sent to serve your queen mother a few days ago?" Kangxi asked Yinzhen seemingly casually, but in fact he was observing carefully There was a slight change in the expression on Yinzhen's face.

When Yinzhen heard that Kangxi mentioned Ruxi, he was slightly taken aback, then came back to his senses, nodded and said, "It's the Lin family."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, and stared at Yinzhen's face with sharp eyes, "Since you like Lin, why don't you take her into the palace? Even if she is a Han woman, if you really like her, give her a special status , it’s not impossible.”

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and explained softly: "Ms. Lin was a Han girl who was bought by my fourteenth brother on the streets of the capital for 50 taels of silver. She is not of high status, and she is eccentric. , I'm afraid it's not suitable to enter the mansion."

Perhaps before Kangxi was tempted by Nian Xilan, Yinzhen's explanation could still be recognized by Kangxi, but now Kangxi, who can't wait to tie Nian Xilan by his side for twelve hours a day, naturally won't believe Yinzhen For the woman I really love, I can still decide so calmly and rationally whether to stay or stay with this woman, just because of the so-called "rules", I let the woman I love live outside the house for a long time, and I don't see her once in more than ten days.

Kangxi guessed that there were other reasons why Yinzhen refused to allow the Lin family to enter Prince Yong's mansion.

Kangxi looked at Yinzhen with a sincere face, and suddenly smiled lightly and said: "Lin's original status is indeed not qualified to enter the mansion. However, because of her dedication to accompany your mother-in-law, I will be extra merciful." , give her a special status. Since you like her, send someone to bring her to the summer resort to accompany you. Although you also brought a concubine this time, you were not careful enough. Knowing how to change into lighter clothes for you in time. There is no one around you who knows the cold and hot, how can I rest assured?"

Although Yinzhen didn't show it on the face, he was both annoyed and helpless in his heart.The woman I really want is close at hand, but seems to be far away in the world, and I can't get close at all; and I have to pretend to be in love with another woman in front of her, accept Kangxi's grace, and give her love. Greg's position.In this way, Ruxi has become his justifiable woman, not only can follow him back to Prince Yong's mansion, but can also stand beside him logically, but he doesn't know, in his mind, what he really wants is The love and companionship of another woman.
