Qing court ladies

Chapter 87
"Why, I'm unwilling, didn't you let me watch and reward you? I naturally reward you what you need most, and I'm still not satisfied." Kangxi smiled, thinking about Su Yue's rare coquettish appearance, as well as her pouting and slandering appearance. Long time no see.After the incidents of acne, the two of them decided not to mention the matter of the palace. It seemed that everything was back to the beginning.

"How could Suyue be dissatisfied with the gift from the Lord Long Live? It's just a little distressed. The Lord Long Live has rewarded Su Yue with what she needs. How should Su Yue return the gift? Lord Long Live also knows that Su Yue's things are all given by the Lord Long Live. Take Long Live It's always not good to borrow flowers to offer Buddha's things, but Suyue doesn't have anything to sell, what should I do?" Suyue changed her expression in the blink of an eye, and she seemed to be talking nonsense.Su Yue is now more and more flattering and condescending, because of the guilt in her heart, she feels much better in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced at Su Yue, "What are you thinking about talking to yourself?"

"How can Su Yue have any thoughts, even if she has, how can she escape the eyes of the Long Live Lord, but Su Yue suddenly thought, if the Long Live Lord does not give up, how about Su Yue admiring the snow with the Long Live Lord? I have not swept the snow today, and everything is white and flawless. It's pretty." When Su Yue spoke, her expression changed a lot.

Kangxi stayed up all night, mainly because he was bored. At this time, due to his mood, it might not be fair to review the papers. Besides, it was rare to invite an invitation from Su Yue. , I won’t refuse, so it’s okay to accompany you to take a look.”

Su Yue immediately laughed and saluted Yan Yan and said, "Thank you, Lord Long Live, Su Yue for your kindness." Both of them laughed immediately, and Su Yue hurriedly went to get a cloak and put it on Kang Xi, followed Kang Xi behind, and a group of people walked towards the imperial garden .

When Kangxi went out on weekdays, the roads had already been cleaned, so there would never be some snow covering the ground, but today he stepped on the ground and listened to the creaking snow, thinking that it would be very interesting.

"Long Live Lord, the body of the dragon is the most important thing, and the snow is very humid, so let's ride it." Liang Jiugong walked with Kangxi for a while, and couldn't help reminding.

Hearing this, Su Yue felt a little regretful, Kangxi was no different than others, and the word "dragon body is the most important" explained the inappropriateness of such an act, her face froze and she wanted to apologise, who would have thought that Kangxi had never heard of it, As he walked straight, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he became quite serious.

Liang Jiugong saw that Kangxi was silent and his face was not good, so he didn't dare to mention it, so he had to follow silently.

Su Yue was afraid, but she didn't dare to touch the dragon's beard when Kangxi was obviously in a bad mood, so she turned around and whispered to Jiuyue, "Go and prepare some ginger tea, and I will give Long Live God a cold. Instruct people to prepare hot water, and Long Live Lord will warm his feet when he returns.”

September nodded and retreated silently.

There is a corridor between Qianqing Palace and the Imperial Garden. As soon as he arrived at the corridor, Kangxi asked everyone not to follow him, but he took Su Yue to walk in the corridor.Su Yue followed Kangxi step by step, and saw Kangxi stop in the middle of the corridor, looking at the white snow in the distance.Following Kangxi's gaze, Su Yue saw that it was the avenue leading to the Imperial Garden. It was covered with snow, and it was almost impossible to recognize that there was another road.

"In just one day, the Forbidden City has been covered with snow," Kangxi said suddenly, feeling quite emotional, but not revealing his joy or anger.

Su Yue looked at Kangxi, and didn't understand what Kangxi meant, so she wanted to pick up a good answer, and said, "Long live Lord, didn't you say that the auspicious snow heralds a good year? If you want to come to heaven, you will love Long live Lord. It means auspiciousness"

"It's gratifying to have a good year of auspicious snow, but that's not what I'm thinking about." Kangxi pointed to the snow-covered road and said, "If you don't sweep the snow for a day, you will no longer be able to see where this road is. Except for the white snow, everything No. I have been on the throne for 42 years, and I have been in power for 36 years. I dare not slack off for a day, but there are always places that I haven’t taken care of. I am already over fifty years old, and even the common people are old people, I am no different from them, young and fashionable, I can't handle it, now, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains under my feet, I can't take care of many." Kangxi said rather Sad, even talking about age with obvious anger.

The more Su Yue listened, the more frightened she became, and she finally understood why Kangxi was not happy after presenting the Longevity Picture on New Year's Eve. It turned out that he was afraid of getting old, and hated others saying he was old. Even if he said himself, it was not difficult to feel it. Su Yue felt a little sad about his anger. Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable for human beings. No one can escape. Even if Kangxi is an emperor through the ages, wise and wise, he can't escape the instinct of fear of death, but so what, he can't escape. There is no way to escape.

"Long Live Lord, Su Yue is not a historian, let alone a literati. I can't judge everything about Long Live Lord. Long Live Lord doesn't need Su Yue to judge anything, but Su Yue thinks that after thousands of years, someone will talk about Long Live Lord, I will definitely praise him unanimously, Lord Long Live's diligence, Lord Long Live's achievements, Lord Long Live's sageness and wisdom, all the little court ladies in Su Yue admire from the bottom of their hearts, let alone others." Su Yue was a little confused, and she spoke in a mess, But I still want to express my thoughts in my heart, "Confucius said, you can stand at thirty, don't be confused at forty, and know the destiny at fifty. In Su Yue's view, fifty is the best time. The destiny is the way of heaven. The words of Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times It is often said that if you can glimpse the way of heaven, you will become an immortal Buddha. When you know the way of heaven at fifty, it is the most wise and intelligent time.

"You, hurry up and praise the heavens, I'm already an immortal Buddha." Kangxi looked at Suyue and wanted to continue, and interrupted with a smile.

Su Yue blushed, and lowered her head slightly, "Did Su Yue talk too much and annoy Long Live Lord?"

Kangxi took Suyue's hand, said with a smile on his face, "Suyue, the Ninth Five-Year Lord is sometimes lonely, but I am lucky to have you by my side, so I can talk about my own words with me." This move was a bit dumbfounding for Kangxi, but it was the best for this person to comfort him with his heart, and the knot in Kangxi's heart was eased a lot. People are not sages, so he can't be too harsh on Suyue, let alone these years , he also hid a lot of things from Su Yue, so let's make it even.

Su Yue bowed her head even lower, "Su Yue made Long Live God laugh."

"Su Yue, Zhen." Afraid of getting old, afraid that one day I will never be able to chat with you like this again, the deeper the entanglement in my heart, the more afraid and reluctant to let go, do you understand?

Su Yue raised her head slightly, just in time to meet Kangxi's eyes, then hurriedly lowered her head again, the strong emotion in Kangxi's eyes made Su Yue instinctively avoid looking, she was afraid.

"I won't go to the Imperial Garden today, let's go back to the palace." Kangxi let go of Suyue's hand and left first. Suyue disturbed Suyue's previous troubles, but Suyue's instinctive behavior of avoiding his eyes made Kangxi a little angry. Thinking about it makes me even more helpless, even after more than ten years of hard work, even with Dudu and Mianmian, I still can't win Suyue's heart, which makes Kangxi frustrated and angry. The love of an emperor does not last long, but because it is Suyue, Kangxi After persisting for many years, and still not being able to ask for it for more than ten years, Kangxi couldn't hold on anymore.

Su Yue knew that her actions just now were inappropriate, she was secretly annoyed, and wanted to explain something, but Kangxi strode away, and when Su Yue caught up, there were already a group of people accompanying her, so she had no choice but to swallow those words, and followed Kangxi back to the palace.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Suyue took the ginger tea that Jiuyue sent, and wanted to explain to Kangxi alone, but Kangxi asked Suyue to rest and let Jiuyue accompany her.Su Yue swallowed her words again, saluted and said goodbye.

Such a mistake led to Kangxi's decree, and he set off on a southern tour, surveying the Yellow River, leaving the prince to supervise the country, the eldest brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother Brother, the fourteenth brother is accompanying, and there is no Suyue among the attendants. This is the first time that Kangxi has gone out without Suyue.

Su Yue stood at the gate of the palace, watching the mighty team go away, she didn't look away until Ming Huang disappeared.Since the first day of the new year, Kangxi has always found a way to keep the two of them from being alone. After the tour of the Yellow River was decided, Suyue saw that she was not in it, and repeatedly wanted to talk to Kangxi, but was turned away. I'm afraid he got angry, but Kangxi didn't give Suyue the slightest chance to explain, and it turned into the current situation.

Su Yue lowered her head and sighed, in fact, Su Yue knew in her heart that all explanations were pale, because Su Yue herself did not understand why Kangxi suddenly became stubborn.Su Yue has never thought about her feelings for Kangxi, Kangxi has always been laissez-faire, Su Yue took it for granted that the present life is the best, even though she doesn't know her feelings, but the two have been together for many years, and there is a lot of love. He and Mian Mian, two sons, even if they have never been in love vigorously, they can be regarded as ordinary couples with a steady stream of water.

Who would have thought that there would be a day when it would suddenly be true, and it would still be so true.

"Suyue, it's very windy here, Long Live Lord has gone far, you should go back too." Lin Xiang put on a cloak for Suyue and whispered.

Su Yue glanced at Lin Xiang gratefully, and nodded, "Thank you, Auntie, Su Yue will go back now."

Linxiang smiled slightly, followed Suyue to Suyue's courtyard.

"Hey, don't you think it's strange that Long Live God didn't bring Aunt Suyue with him this time?" the woman said suspiciously.

"What's strange, you don't know yet, Lord Long Live hasn't paid much attention to her for a few days, and this time Aunt Linyue is accompanying her. In terms of age and appearance, how can she compare to Aunt Linyue?" Another woman said with a light smile .

"But I heard from the old man in the past that the Lord Long Live doted on Aunt Suyue the most. He had restricted Aunt Suyue's feet several times and then released it again. She loved her as usual," the woman said again, puzzled and puzzled.

"Hehe, haven't you ever heard of a confidante giving up before she gets old? Nowadays, in this palace, there are so many beauties, and those masters have masters by their side. What does she have, it's not uncommon for her to be abandoned," the woman sneered.

"That's why I, Ama, said, don't ask for your kindness, it's too impermanent, take it as a good job, and when you leave the palace, you will be blessed to find an ordinary person to accompany you for the rest of your life." The woman sighed softly, seemingly injustice.

"That's because you don't have the ability to accept the emperor's kindness at all, so you can only think like this. If you really have that fate, you probably won't be like this. If you can be a master, who wants to be a slave, who can be with the emperor, and who wants to have that reckless man?" The sarcastic woman said again.

"Shut up" Linxiang yelled, walked out from the porch, looked at the two women who were talking, and said sharply, "Where did you learn the rules in the palace? Talking nonsense about Long Live is courting death."

The two women were only twenty-eight years old, one was handsome and the other was like Xiaojiabiyu. When Linxiang drank, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly, and even shedding tears.

Su Yue had no choice but to walk out from the porch, and said to Lin Xiang, "Auntie, why bother to get angry, the two of them must have just entered the palace, they are still childish, they are just chatting, there is no malicious intention."

However, Linxiang ignored Suyue's pleading, and kept a straight face, "When I first entered the palace, I had to learn all the rules and etiquette before I was on duty. According to the regulations, it is not allowed to tell right and wrong, and to have delusional thoughts, they have all committed crimes, how can they be lightly forgiven?"
