Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 304 Gold Lapis Lazuli Contract

Kangxi ended the morning court as soon as possible and rushed back to Qianqing Palace with Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong carefully carried a wooden box and followed Kangxi.

In the West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Wanxian had long been dressed in a sapphire blue flag dress embroidered with chrysanthemums, and on her head was the folded flower "longevity" gift given by Kangxi on her birthday.

As soon as she saw Kangxi, Wanxian stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Long live Lord, you are finally back."

"Are you anxious? I've rushed back as soon as possible." Kangxi hugged Wanxian and said.

"Actually, it's not bad. I just told you before going to court that you would come back as soon as possible. I miss you." Wan Xian and Wu Nong said softly.

Kangxi touched the hairpin on Wanxian's head and said, "It's not my fault for keeping Concubine Shu waiting for so long."

"I will help you change your clothes, Long Live Lord." Wan Xian said happily.

"Okay." Kangxi nodded Wanxian's forehead and said.

So Wanxian stepped forward to untie Kangxi's court clothes and take them off.

Qiaoguo quickly presented a sapphire blue robe embroidered with green bamboo with a wink.

Kangxi changed his clothes with a smile.Finally, when Wanxian was buttoning the plate, Kangxi hugged Wanxian's waist.He lowered his head and said in Wanxian's ear: "I'm so happy now." The little girl had wanted to wear the same clothes as herself for a long time.

Kangxi blew air into Wanxian's ear. Wanxian looked at the servants around her and her face turned red instantly.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's rosy face and said to Liang Jiugong, who had been silent since entering Xinuang Pavilion, "Liang Jiugong."

"My slave is here." Liang Jiugong immediately agreed.

"Hurry up and bring the things up." Kangxi said dissatisfied.

"It's the slave's fault, it's the slave's fault." Liang Jiugong begged for mercy and quickly handed over the wooden box in his hand.

Kangxi opened the wooden box and said as if he was taking credit: "Come and see what good things I have brought you."

Wanxian raised her head and took a closer look, and exclaimed: "Wow, it's so beautiful." There was a colorful collar in the wooden box.

Kangxi picked up the contract and said to Wanxian: "This gold-inlaid lapis lazuli contract is a new one from the manufacturing office. You like it."

Wanxian covered her mouth, nodded quickly and said: "Long live Lord, this is really beautiful. But doesn't there be one of my slaves?"

"That one, the gems embedded in it are too small. I looked a little stingy, so I specially asked someone to prepare a better one. Come here quickly, I will put it on for you." Kangxi said proudly.

Wanxian was originally beside Kangxi, and Kangxi put it on Wanxian's neck.

Kangxi immediately pulled Wanxian to the full-length peepshow.

Wanxian looked at herself in the mirror and unconsciously touched the gem on the collar on her chest.This gold-inlaid lapis lazuli collar: four long strips of lapis lazuli and two red stones are inlaid on the ring.Inlaid with it are two rubies, two sapphires, and an eastern pearl.The rubies and sapphires among them are thumb-sized and round, which shows how precious they are.The living mouth is decorated with gold chisel patterns of clouds and bats, each tied with a bright yellow ribbon. The ribbon is embellished with red stone beads and a red stone pendant.

Liang Jiugong also joined in and said, "In order to surprise the empress, Long Live Master specially took the best gems and pearls from his private treasury. He asked the manufacturing office to carefully craft them, and this gave him the glory he has today. It can be seen that Long live your kindness to your empress."

"You talk a lot, why don't you get down and prepare the carriage." Although Kangxi scolded Liang Jiugong, the smile on his face did not diminish.

Listening to Kang Xi's tone, Liang Jiugong knew that he was flattering him, and he quickly bowed and left.

Kangxi looked at Wanxian who was holding the contract again and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Wanxian happily said coquettishly to Kangxi: "Long live Lord, you are so kind to me."

Kangxi hugged Wanxian and pointed out: "I like it as much as I like it, but don't drop the golden beans. My original intention of giving it to you is to make you happy, not to make you cry."

"Long live Lord..." Wanxian said in a long tone.

Kangxi hugged Wanxian and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go early and come back early, and we can still come back for lunch."

"Okay, I want to eat braised chicken with chestnuts." Wanxian took Kangxi's arm and made her request.

"Then let the people below prepare." Kangxi said, taking Wanxian's hand and walking outside together.

……

As the initiator of the flower viewing feast, Bu Bin stood in the Yujing Pavilion in Duixiu Mountain early in the morning, carefully looking at the furnishings.At this time, Yujingting had already changed drastically.Where the stone table was originally placed, a dragon chair had already been placed.Incense burners, fans, etc. have also been prepared on both sides of the dragon chair.Four Taishi chairs are prepared on the left and right sides of the pavilion.

The young masters and concubines in the harem had already arrived in twos and threes.After all, today is the day Long Live the Lord comes in person, so it would be bad to be late.

The new nobles and Yuan nobles also followed Bu Bin and came early.

Bu Bin ordered the two of them: "It's still early, so you two should sit down first."

"Yes." The new nobleman and Yuan nobleman saluted and sat in the third seat on the left and the fourth seat on the right respectively.

It was not easy to make a concubine, so she also sat in the second seat on the left to rest for a while.

Soon, Princess Chunci's biological mother Nala Guiren also arrived.She bowed to Bu Bin.

Bu Bin said kindly: "Sit down and have a rest first. Someone will serve tea to noble Nala."

After Lord Nala thanked him, he consciously sat at the last seat on the left, opposite to Lord Yuan.

Yuan Guiren stood up and smiled and stroked his temples to Nala Guiren.

The noble Nala quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

Before the tea was served, Cheng concubine came with Dinggui.Concubine Cheng was supported by Lord Ding, and as soon as she arrived, she said, "The sisters came too early. But I and Lord Ding came late."

The crowd quickly stood up and saluted the concubine.

Bu Bin also stood up, smiled and bowed to Cheng Bin, and said: "Sister, she has a distinguished position, so it is appropriate for her to come a little later. But there are some people who, despite their low status, still have to ask for help. That's why. Annoying.”

Cheng Bin knew who Bu Bin was talking about, she could tell just by looking at the remaining people.Cheng Bin patted Bu Bin's hand and said comfortingly: "Forget it, the more you care about her, the angrier you will become. Why bother."

Bu Bin couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's what I think. Sister Cheng Bin, please take a seat." Bu Bin said and pointed to the first person on the right side respectfully.

"Alas, Sister Bu Bin is in charge of the harem now, so it is fitting for her to take the seat." Cheng Bin was very satisfied with the seats arranged by Bu Bin, but she still said modestly.

"Sister is joking. My sister is in charge of the harem for the first time. I will have to ask her for more guidance in the future. Dinggui, please sit below Sister Cheng. It will be more convenient to take care of her." Bu Bin said politely.

Dinggui quickly saluted, stood up and helped Cheng concubine sit down, and then he carefully sat in the second seat on the right.

Now, apart from Kangxi and Wanxian, only the third seat on the right was empty.

Bu Bin ordered Ji Heping: "Ji Heping, serve tea to all the sisters."

"Hey." Ji Heping quickly ordered the maids to bring tea.

The concubines with high status are naturally not in a hurry.

But the young master and concubines standing below also became anxious.After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Long Live Lord.Everyone wore their best clothes and jewelry.Strive to present the best side to Long Live Lord.Although I know that Long live the Lord only dotes on Concubine Shu, but what if?What if Long Live the Lord gets interested and calls me to sleep with him?Then she will be the second concubine Shu.

There are always some people who are unwilling to see the facts and think about daydreams.

A young eunuch on duty at the pavilion saw the bright yellow Luan Jia in the distance and immediately reported it to Ji Heping.

Ji Heping hurriedly reported to the concubine: "Empress Qi, Long Live Lord's chariot has arrived."

Bu Bin quickly stood up and said: "Okay, sisters, let's go together to pick him up."

Taking the lead from the Bu concubine and the Cheng concubine, they had not walked a few steps when they saw a little eunuch running up the mountain panting, and said out of breath: "Long live the Lord's oral message: please, all empresses, nobles, and young masters, do not have to go down the mountain." Pick up the driver. Just wait where you are."

"Okay, sir, thank you for delivering the order. I will wait for you to receive the order." Concubine Bu took the lead in saluting and receiving the order.

The rest of the people also bowed and gave thanks like the concubines.

After Bu Bin saluted, she stood up and told Ji Heping: "Long live Lord and Concubine Shu have arrived, why haven't noble Guo Luoluo and Wang Changzai arrived yet? Send a young eunuch to see what happened. What happened?"

"Come on, please don't worry, my queen, I will give you the order right now." Ji Heping agreed quickly.

Concubine Cheng shook her head secretly, thinking that she was punished by kneeling down yesterday.Guo Luoluo, noble man, can have a longer memory.But I didn't expect it to be so illogical.I'm afraid there will be another good show today.
