The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 31

Nian Xilan murmured in her heart, and murmured, "I'm not stupid! Ama and Erniang often praise me for being smart, considerate, and meticulous... The emperor wronged me..." The voice gradually died down, and she fell asleep straight away. past.

Kangxi stared at Nian Xilan who was still sleeping soundly, and was furious.

The women in the harem have always tried their best to curry favor with Kangxi, from the empress, concubines and the lords of the palace to the dignitaries who are always there and agree to concubines.

People who can read and write, and who are proficient in writing and ink, send some picture scrolls drawn by themselves and poems written by themselves to express their heartfelt feelings, and women who lack literary talent or are illiterate do some female red embroidery to express their feelings.But Kangxi has never seen a woman as incomprehensible as Nian Xilan, which really makes Kangxi angry and funny.

However, Kangxi thought about it again, and felt that Nian Xilan had just entered the palace, not long after she had explained the relationship between men and women, and she was still shy and shy between the pillows, how could she know the skills and means of getting along with her husband?Nian Xilan's ignorance and ignorance of the relationship between men and women just shows that her mind is pure and flawless, and she has never been tempted by other men before entering the palace.

When Kangxi thought of this, he felt extremely happy. Although the satisfaction and joy in his heart were different from the pride and satisfaction of King's Landing, it was also extremely comfortable and carefree.When Kangxi thought that he would personally train Nian Xilan into the woman he expected in his heart, he felt extremely excited and joyful.

So far, Kangxi has been more concerned about Xilan in the new year.Whenever there is something delicious or interesting, I always want to send a copy to Nian Xilan.This eye-catching favor has indeed attracted a lot of attention and jealousy for Nian Xilan.

However, everyone was afraid of Kangxi's majesty, and they didn't dare to shame Nian Xilan face to face when Nian Xilan was very favored. When they went to Jingren Palace to pay respects to Concubine Tong, they all politely greeted and gossiped with Nian Xilan.Regardless of the calculations in everyone's minds, on the surface it is a peaceful and harmonious appearance.

Although Kangxi loved Nian Xilan very much, he did not do such absurd things as pampering Nian Xilan alone.In addition to Nian Xilan, Kangxi would occasionally look through the brands of concubines, secret nobles, and some concubines who had just entered the palace.

But the longer he spent with Nian Xilan, the more Kangxi felt that she was gentle and pleasant, and there was an inexplicable attraction between the pillows and mats.In contrast, when sharing the bed with other concubines, Kangxi often found it difficult to enjoy himself.Just like once a person has drunk the top quality wine, he will feel dull to drink ordinary wine.

Gradually, apart from recruiting Nian Xilan to attend the bedchamber, Kangxi often slept alone in Qianqing Palace.Even if other concubines are selected to serve as bed attendants, they are often favored only once and ordered to send the attendant concubines back to the bedroom.

On this day, after spending some time with Nian Xilan, Kangxi stretched his arms and held her in his arms. He played with Nian Xilan's slender and fair fingers with his warm hands, and said with a slight smile, "I heard that you often stay up late to practice lately. Embroidery. This is not good, if it goes on like this, it will damage the eyes. Last time I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to care so much."

Nian Xilan was taken aback for a moment, then pouted and blamed, "It must have been Fang Wan, a poor girl who told the emperor! The concubine clearly told her not to mention this matter to the emperor, so as not to worry the emperor. But this girl Just refuse to listen to my concubine!"

Kangxi smiled slightly, "Fang Wan is a loyal girl. She told me these things because she was worried that you would spoil your eyes without knowing the severity."

Nian Xilan bit her lips and was silent for a moment, then murmured aggrievedly: "I also know that doing this is not good for my eyes, but I personally want to practice embroidery as soon as possible so that I can present a lovely embroidery to the emperor... ...I want to embroider this piece by myself, and I don't want any embroiderer to help me..."

Kangxi only felt a warmth in his heart, and couldn't help hugging Nian Xilan tightly.

Nian Xilan raised her head in doubt, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Kangxi gently rubbed Nian Xilan's soft and beautiful hair, and said softly: "I appreciate your heart. But I don't want you to work so hard. This is good, you only embroider two purses and two Just a piece of Jinpa."

As Kangxi said, he gently kissed Nian Xilan's pink cheek, "As long as it is embroidery that you embroider with your own hands, no matter what the pattern is or how the embroidery is, I like it equally! As for other people's gifts, you can If you avoid it, you can avoid it, and just hand over the grueling work to the embroiderer in the palace."
