Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 55
[Grandmother went to Zunhua in hot water, and Ronger was lucky to be with you;]

[The six-year-old Shen Gongshou went out, feeling refreshed and joyful. 】

At the end of August, after returning from hunting in Nanyuan, the emperor decided to send the empress dowager out of the palace again, this time to go to Zunhua Tangquan to take a bath.The harem began to prepare for the empress dowager's trip again. Rong'er may not have seen the emperor for a long time. Today, after dinner, the emperor went to Kunning Palace to see Sai Yinchahun and the queen, and then went to Rong'er's small wing to visit Rong'er. Son.

Rong'er was chatting with Xiaoqing, when he saw the emperor came in, he hurriedly saluted, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen the emperor for more than half a month, Rong'er is really thinking about it."

"I also miss Rong'er, heh, I went to Nanyuan a while ago, hunted in Nanyuan, studied scriptures, and then came back. The Empress Dowager told me that I wanted to go to Zunhua to have a bath, and I just happened to be able to be close to Zunhua by then. Dong Ling is the mausoleum where we pay homage to the late emperor." Before Rong'er could reply, Xuan Ye said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the imperial garden with me, Rong'er will be attending bedtime tonight."

"Thank you, Rong'er." Rong'er blessed.

The Forbidden City at the end of August is past the hottest time. Walking in the imperial garden at night feels the cool breeze blowing on the face is very comfortable. The emperor held Rong'er's hand and walked very slowly. Rong'er stepped on the bottom of the flower plate It is not very convenient to walk with shoes, so small steps follow.

"Rong'er, this time I'm going to Zunhua Tangquan, can you go with me?" Xuan Ye asked.

"Does the emperor want to take Rong'er there?" Rong'er was surprised.

"Well, yes, I have already told the imperial grandmother that I wanted to take the queen with me, but she is not feeling well, it is better to let the imperial doctor treat her carefully in the palace, and she can also take care of Saiyinchahun. "

"Oh, um, but would it be wrong for the emperor to take Rong'er alone?" Rong'er was thinking about the other people in the harem, if she went with the emperor, would others complain.

"What's wrong, I can take whoever I want, Rong'er, don't think too much, you know? The emperor's grandmother will tell everyone about this, so don't worry about it." Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er lightly. laughed.

"Then Rong'er thanks the emperor for his kindness." The emperor wanted to take her to Tangquan, Rong'er was really happy, so she would see the emperor every day. "By the way, Rong'er is very curious. The emperor said that Tangquan can cure diseases. Is it true?"

Xuan Ye nodded with a smile. My great-grandfather Nurhachi led an army into the Acropolis of Ningyuan and was wounded by the Hongyi cannon. He then went to Qinghe Tangquan outside the Great Wall to heal his wounds. The effect was very good. It has magical effects, so Taizong Huang Taiji, the first emperor Shunzhi and the emperor's grandmother all like to soak in hot springs, and the Zunhua Tangquan we are about to go to is the first hot spring found in the pass after Emperor Shunzhi entered the pass, and it is also away from the Forbidden City. It's not very far away, soaking in hot springs is extremely comfortable, I believe Rong'er will also like it. "

Rong'er was really full of longing in her heart when she heard it, after all, she had never been in contact with it since she was a child.

"By the way, Rong Er, there is a wonderful scene in Tangquan. The Liubei Pavilion was built by Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the former dynasty. There is a nine-curved stone trough chiseled on the ground inside the pavilion, and the hot spring water flows slowly along the trough. In the trough, the cup turns with the water, and the wine can be warmed up quickly, but it is a good place to enjoy the wine and recite poems and poems, and Rong'er can meet with me when the time comes." Xuan Ye said with a smile.

"The emperor made fun of Rong'er. Rong'er's poetry talent has not improved much in the past few years, but the emperor has made great progress. Rong'er has long been no match for the emperor. The emperor deliberately made fun of Rong'er's lack of progress." Gai Ronger pretended to be angry. said with a pout.

Xuan Ye laughed and said, "It's okay, no matter how untidy or smooth Rong'er's poems are, I can understand." Then he looked at Rong'er seriously and said: "Rong'er, the scenery there is beautiful because of this. , so the first emperor chose Zunhua as the site for his mausoleum, you will definitely like it, there are beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in this palace."

Before leaving for Zunhua Tangquan, the Empress Dowager recruited everyone to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

"I think everyone already knows that the emperor will send Ai's family to take a bath in Zunhua Tangquan, and sacrifice to the late emperor by the way." The empress dowager said, "This time it may be more than two months, so in this palace, the empress and Zhao The concubine needs to worry more, the Ai family went out of the palace twice in a row, and there were accidents in the palace, the Ai family hopes that this time it will be safe and sound."

"Don't worry, old ancestor, the concubines will definitely take care of the sisters in the palace and the prince and princess." The queen replied softly.

"Well, that's good. This year, Concubine Hui and Honorable Rong both gave birth to princes. Originally, the Ai family intended to take the two of them to Tangquan as a reward, but considering that Baoqing has only been five months old, and mother cannot be separated from her. Besides, Concubine Hui is taking care of her personally, so this time Concubine Hui will not go, and Mrs. Rong is ready to go with Ai's family." The Empress Dowager looked at Rong'er and said.

Rong'er heard what the Empress Dowager said, and got up quickly: "Rong'er, thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness." Rong'er thought in his heart, but he didn't expect that the emperor said that the emperor's grandmother had her own way, so it turned out to be the case.

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, then looked at the Empress again: "Empress, Saiyinchahun has to be taken care of by you alone."

"This is what a concubine should do." The queen replied with a smile.

Although Rong'er already knew the news, she was still very happy to hear the Empress Dowager say it. After all, she has been in the palace for more than six years and has never been out of the palace. happy.Just don't know why, Rong'er suddenly shuddered, and felt that there was a gaze looking at her coldly from behind, Rong'er turned his head lightly, but didn't see anything, she must be overwhelmed, Rong'er secretly guess.

Two days later, the emperor brought the empress dowager out of the palace, and Rong'er was also sitting in the sedan chair, feeling very excited, and occasionally opened the curtain on the window of the sedan chair, looking at strange scenes, and breathing in the air that was wider than the harem Rong'er thought, even if she didn't go to the hot spring, she could already feel comfortable physically and mentally just like this, and couldn't help but feel emotional:
"It has been six years since I entered the palace, and the years make people grow up;

Once a girl was worry-free, now she is a young married woman.

I thank God for not daring to complain, I am honored to be with you forever;
The king bestows you with a trip to the palace soup and springs, which makes people feel happy and comfortable physically and mentally.

After walking for two or three days, Rong'er and the others finally arrived at Tangquan Palace in Zunhua. After getting off the sedan chair, Rong'er saw that this place was located among the mountains, surrounded by green trees, and the environment was extremely quiet and elegant, just like a place of seclusion outside the world. , there is a large pool in it, the water flow is crystal clear, braving thin heat, and the palace is built by the pool, Rong'er was assigned to a room on the upper floor of the palace next to the bedroom of the empress dowager, long distance Trek, so today is not in vain, but rest first.

Rong'er and the Empress Dowager used dinner together. During this journey, Rong'er served the Empress Dowager personally and ate together, so when they arrived at the palace, the Empress Dowager wanted Rong'er to eat with her every day. Seeing the emperor, after all, the emperor had dinner with the two of them on the way. The empress dowager said that the emperor had sent a booklet from the capital as soon as he arrived, and now she is going to discuss political affairs with the accompanying ministers.

After eating food, Rong'er didn't see the emperor, and he was quite tired from the bumps on the road. Finally, he arrived at Tangquan, but he was really sleepy. After waiting for a while, he didn't see the emperor, so he went to bed early to rest.
