The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 30

In the next month, Kangxi often recruited Nian Xilan to sleep with him.And every time after Nian Xilan's green card was turned over, Kangxi thoughtfully ordered Nian Xilan to come to Qianqing Palace to accompany him for dinner, so that Nian Xilan could stay in Qianqing Palace until the night, and then he could Go to bed directly.By acting like this, Kangxi avoided the bed-serving rules that made Nian Xilan extremely embarrassing.

After Kangxi had dinner every day, he had to review some memorials as usual.At this time, Nian Xilan would quietly sit aside and do some needlework embroidery.

Kangxi originally thought that Nian Xilan was preparing some embroidery as a gift for him, but after a few days of careful observation, he found that the patterns Nian Xilan chose were either bright and bright, or delicate and elegant, all of which were suitable for women. Kangxi was extremely depressed.

After struggling like this for a few days, Kangxi finally couldn't bear it anymore, stared at Nian Xilan with burning eyes, deliberately pretended to be nonchalant, and asked lightly: "I see that you have been busy making these embroidery these days, but you want to Do you want to give it to someone as a gift?"

Nian Xilan smiled, looked at Kangxi frankly with clear and moist starry eyes, and explained softly: "I have only been in the palace for a short time, and I don't have any particularly close sisters. But it is with the secret nobleman of Xianfu Palace. It happened that Migui and my concubine love embroidery as much, so we often get together to discuss some embroidery techniques. A few days ago, Migui gave my concubine a round fan that she embroidered by herself. Face embroidering. My heart is grateful, so I thought of embroidering four brocade handkerchiefs with different flower patterns as a return gift for Migui."

As Nian Xilan said, she handed the lake-green brocade handkerchief in front of Kangxi, and asked enthusiastically, "Do you see that the picture of green lotus on my body is embroidered well? Does the nobleman know it?" like?"

Kangxi took the brocade handkerchief and held it in his hand to take a closer look. He saw that the blue lotus picture had an ingenious composition and a good artistic conception. Although the brocade handkerchief and embroidery thread were not good things, the ordinary colors were overshadowed by Nian Xilan. Hands-on collocation together, it is magically pleasing to the eye.

However, as long as I think of this little girl who doesn't understand her style, she is concentrating on embroidering brocade handkerchiefs for others in front of her. It just so happens that the recipient of the gift is another concubine who was once favored by her, but she can't think of embroidering some gifts. for myself.This made Kangxi feel quite uncomfortable.

Unhappy Kangxi gave full play to his vicious tongue skills, returned the brocade handkerchief to Nian Xilan, curled his lips slightly, and commented lightly: "The stitches are fairly fine, and the embroidery work is not satisfactory. It's just that the pattern is too much. It’s a bit ordinary, what’s the fun in just embroidering these patterns that have been used by others? Just such a gift, is it worth your trouble? If you want to return the gift to the secret nobleman, it’s better to ask the embroiderer in the palace to prepare it. A few decent embroideries are ready!"

Nian Xilan was taken aback by Kangxi's lesson, she shrugged her head and stared at the brocade handkerchief in her hand in frustration, and sighed dejectedly: "I originally wanted to embroider a screen to give to the emperor, but my concubine She was too self-reliant, and her embroidery work was so poor that she couldn't catch the eyes of the emperor. It seems that I have to practice hard for a few more years before I can make some handy embroidery and give it to the emperor as a gift..."

"Maybe, this concubine really doesn't have much talent, and I can't do such meticulous and exquisite work as embroidery. It seems that this concubine should really think about giving other things to the emperor as gifts..."

Kangxi's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he was almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. He felt that he was looking for trouble for nothing, so he lifted a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

Kangxi stared blankly at Nian Xilan for a long while, but finally couldn't bear to ask Nian Xilan for the embroidery she embroidered by herself, so he could only snort coldly, hugged Nian Xilan by the waist, and strode towards the bed Walking, Nian Xilan was tossing so hard in the bed, seeing her red eyes kept begging for mercy, I felt a little better in my heart.

After several times of cloud and rain, Nian Xilan was lying in Kangxi's arms exhausted, but when she was drowsy, she vaguely heard Kangxi's deep and hoarse voice sighing in annoyance beside her ear: "What a stupid woman! What a fool!" In vain has a clever face..."
