Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 335 The Crown Princess’s Wish
As soon as Liang Jiugong's voice fell, Kangxi strode into the main hall of Ningchun Hall.

Wanxian, the Crown Princess and Galudai all stepped aside and maintained their salute postures.

Kangxi quickly knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager and said, "I would like to express my condolences to the Empress Dowager, and wish the Empress Dowager happiness, longevity, and health."

"Get up, get up, Emperor, you are interested." The Empress Dowager quickly shouted to Kangxi.

After Kangxi stood up, he looked at Wanxian who was standing aside, and by the way he also saw the submissive-looking Crown Princess and the respectful Galudai.

Kangxi first smiled at Wanxian and then said: "No need to be formal, everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Lord Long Live, for your grace." Wanxian said quickly.

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your kindness." As the princess spoke, she secretly tugged at the hem of her daughter's clothes, signaling Galudai to say a few more flattering words to Kangxi.

Galudai also knew that everything his mother-in-law did was for him, and he quickly said to Kangxi: "Thank you, granddaughter, for your grace."

After hearing this, Kangxi said kindly to Galudai: "Galudai, you are here too."

"When we return to Huangmafa, my granddaughter came specifically to pay her respects to Mother Uku." Galudai replied quickly.

The Empress Dowager also said to Kangxi: "Yes, the Crown Princess and Galudai are both filial and they often go to the Ai family to fulfill their filial piety."

"Huang Ma Ma, please don't say that. It's the grandson's daughter-in-law and Galudai's duty to come and greet you, Huang Ma Ma." The Crown Princess quickly declined to the Empress Dowager.

"The Crown Princess and Galudai are interested." Kangxi nodded with satisfaction after listening to the Crown Princess's words.

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager quickly spoke: "Okay, okay, we are all of the same family. What are you doing standing here? Sit down quickly."

"Yes, I sincerely follow the emperor's decree." Kangxi bowed slightly and said respectfully.

After Kangxi finished speaking, he sat in Wanxian's original seat.After Kangxi sat down, he told Wanxian, Crown Princess, and Galudai who were still standing: "You should stop standing. Please sit down."

"Hey." The three of them quickly saluted and thanked them.

The Crown Princess was about to give way to Wanxian and let Wanxian sit in the first place on the right.

Before Wanxian could refuse, Kangxi said: "Concubine Shu, come and sit under me."

"Hey. I know this." Wanxian couldn't wait to sit down under Kangxi.

The Crown Princess did not dare to sit face to face with Kangxi, so she quickly took her daughter to the second and third seats on the right opposite Wanxian.

Seeing Kangxi's actions, the Queen Mother felt more and more anxious to get the Crown Princess, Galudai and Concubine Shu into a relationship.So, the Empress Dowager said kindly: "Emperor, look. This is the Five Poison Sachet that Galudai presented to the Ai family today for the Dragon Boat Festival. What do you think?"

Aunt Ning quickly took the sachet from the Empress Dowager and handed it to Kangxi.

After Kangxi took it, he commented: "Yes, for Gallu Dai's grade, this embroidery skill is already excellent." Although it is not as good as the little girl's, Galudai is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is very good to have such filial piety. .Kangxi thought so in his heart.

After hearing this, the Crown Princess quickly winked at Galudai.

Galudai quickly stood up and said to Kangxi: "My grandson also embroidered a purse for you, Huang Mafa. He also thought that he could send it to you when he had time. Please don't dislike it, Huang Mafa."

"Why would you dislike it? This is your filial piety." Kangxi said with a smile.

"Emperor, although Galudai's embroidery skills have improved, it seems that the Ai family is still not as good as Concubine Shu's embroidery skills." The Empress Dowager said to Kangxi again.

After hearing this, Kangxi looked at Wanxian with a smile and said to Yourong: "Concubine Shu's embroidery skills are indeed outstanding."

"So the Ai family just talked about it to Concubine Shu, Crown Princess and Galudai." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Kangxi quickly answered: "Oh, what did the Queen Mother talk about?" The Queen Mother continued: "The Aijia want to say that Galudai's embroidery skills must be the same as those of Concubine Shu. Isn't it necessary to consult Concubine Shu from time to time? ?Emperor, what do you mean?"

"My son's intention." Kangxi said, glancing at the confused Wanxian, then at the expectant Crown Princess and the somewhat nervous Galudai opposite.He nodded and said, "If it's your wish, of course it's allowed."

Kangxi also had his own little plan.

[-]. Even if she doesn’t want to admit it, Wanxian is indeed a little younger.When I am busy with government affairs, I can let Galudai, who is similar in age, play with Wanxian.

34. In the end, I was the one who felt sorry for the Crown Princess.Let the daughter of a good family become a mother before she is married. (The Crown Princess got married in the [-]th year of Kangxi's reign. Prior to that, Crown Prince Yinfeng had two sons and two daughters.) Kangxi also understood in his heart that the Crown Prince only respected the Crown Princess.

[-]. After all, Galudai is also his legitimate eldest granddaughter. Letting her visit Qingxi Bookstore frequently will prevent outsiders from looking down on her.

"Look, the Ai family will know. Emperor, you will definitely not delay your granddaughter's eagerness to learn. Galudai, you have also heard what your emperor Mafa means. From now on, you can often go to your palace. Learn embroidery from your Aunt Sumama. Firstly, you can improve your embroidery skills, and secondly, I can pay your respects to your Majesty from time to time." The Empress Dowager earnestly warned Galudai with a loving look on her face.

"Yes, granddaughter understands. Thank you to Mother Uku for your grace, thank you to Huang Mafa for your grace, and thank you to Grandma Shuma for her grace." Galudai quickly thanked the Empress Dowager, Kangxi, and Wanxian.

"Suma Ma, that's right. It's true according to seniority. That's all. The more I think about it, the angrier it becomes. I don't want to think about it anymore." Kangxi thought in his heart.

The Crown Princess also looked at the Empress Dowager and Kangxi with a grateful face.The Crown Princess knew clearly that the Queen Mother made all kinds of plans for her mother and daughter because she felt sorry for her and Galudai's situation.As for Mr. Long Live, it was because he had been a good wife to the prince over the years that he was given this honor.Now it's good, my Galudai finally has a good backer.

Although Wanxian didn't understand Kangxi's meaning, she never opposed Kangxi's decision.So I kept silent and expressed my agreement.

Kangxi said to Galudai gently: "Galudai."

"My granddaughter is here, Huang Mafa, please give your orders." Galudai quickly replied.

Seeing the nervous Galudai, Kangxi quickly waved to Galudai and said, "Sit down. I'm just calling you to give you a few words. Why are you so nervous?"

"Yes." Galudai carefully sat on the chair, ready to listen to Kangxi's instructions.

Kangxi said: "Galu Dai, I didn't ask you to come to Qingxi Bookstore just to let you learn some embroidery from your Grandma Shuma."

"Emperor." The Empress Dowager called to Kangxi.I was afraid that Kangxi's next words would be to reprimand the crown prince and great-granddaughter.

"Empress, please be patient and let me finish my words." Kangxi replied to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager felt relieved after listening to Kangxi's words.

But the Crown Princess and Galudai had their hearts in their throats.

Kangxi then warned Galudai: "Galudai, I didn't let you come to Qingxi Bookstore to learn embroidery from your grandmother Shuma. Why? You have the noble status of gold branches and jade leaves, and embroidery is just that. It's just to cultivate my sentiments and pass the time. Not to mention you, even your grandmother, I don't like her embroidery all the time."

"Huang Mafa?" Galudai didn't know, Huang Mafa said he didn't like to embroider by himself.Then why did you allow yourself to go to Huang Mafa's palace?
"You don't need to be reminded by others, I also know it, and it is a fact. There is a big difference in grade between me and your grandmother," Kangxi said sincerely.

But before she finished speaking, Wanxian interrupted excitedly: "Long live the Lord, I don't want to hear it."

Kangxi patted Wanxian's hand and stopped her: "Be obedient and don't speak. Listen to me finish what I have to say."

So Wanxian closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Kangxi pitifully said to Galudai: "I asked you to come to Qingxi Bookstore for no other reason than to keep you company with your Grandma Shuma. Who are you? You are my eldest granddaughter. You have the most noble status among the same generation. What are you afraid of? You were born to live a more wanton life. You can eat whatever you want, use whatever you want, have whatever you want, and play with whatever you want. .You don’t have to restrain yourself. I’m here to support you.”

"Amitabha, Amitabha." The Empress Dowager recited the Buddha's name happily: "Galudai, you can hear clearly the words of your Majesty. You don't need to be so cautious in the future. With your identity and grade, you should be happy. Just having fun."

"Daughter-in-law, I would like to thank Huang Ama for your kindness on behalf of yourself and Galudai. Galudai, please kowtow to Huangma and thank you." The princess knelt on the ground and thanked Kangxi.The princess was so moved that she cried bitterly after listening to Kangxi's words.Now she has gotten her wish.
