Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 347 like a duck in water
Gradually, Wanxian and Galudai became familiar with each other.What's more, strictly speaking, both of them are embarrassing people with noble status but no one talks to them.

This is great, they are similar in age.Galudai also wanted to make friends with Wanxian.

As a result, the two gradually became close sisters.

Because of their distinguished status, others did not dare to interrupt or give advice at will.

Kangxi again asked the two of them to play freely in Changchun Garden, and the two became more and more indulgent and unscrupulous.

Today, I was playing on the swing in the Qingxi Bookstore, and the laughter like silver bells had already reached Kangxi, who was dealing with political affairs, and his elder brother and ministers who came to report political affairs.

I went fishing at the lake tomorrow and didn't catch a single fish.The two were unwilling to give in, so they ordered their servants to prepare fresh fish and grilled them by the lake as if they were caught by themselves.

Later I went to the garden to pick flowers, saying I was going to make Baihua wine.All the flowers that were blooming in the garden were stripped bare.

According to their seniority, the two people, who were forced to become grandparents, started from Qingxi Bookstore and began to visit the garden.

The concubines and servants in the garden were filled with complaints.

But one of them is the beloved concubine of Lord Long Live, and the other is Lord Long Live's only eldest granddaughter.The concubines did not dare to complain even if they wanted to.

I originally wanted to go to the Empress Dowager and complain tactfully.Unexpectedly, it was reported that the Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu and Galudai Gege also caught fish on the shore of Ningchun Hall.

Good guy, even the eldest elder in the harem has been drawn into the camp of Concubine Shu and Galudai Gege. This situation is even more difficult to sue, so just bear with it.

……

The Empress Dowager was sitting in the main hall early in the morning, looking around.

Aunt Ning brought a cup of tea and presented it to the Empress Dowager.

After the Queen Mother took the tea cup, she asked anxiously: "Are Concubine Shu and Galudai not here yet?"

"Ms. Qi, it's still early at this hour." Grandma Ning replied in a funny tone.

"It's not like these two girls aren't coming. Yesterday, the Ai family specially asked them to come." Seeing that the two of them hadn't come yet, the Queen Mother placed the tea cup heavily on the square table angrily. .

Aunt Ning quickly consoled her: "How could it be possible? Both Concubine Shu and Princess are filial people. Something must have delayed them."

"The Ai family doesn't know what's going on. When they saw the two of them making a fuss, it seemed like they were getting younger based on their height." The Empress Dowager obviously found fun, and then anxiously waited for the arrival of Wanxian and Galudai .

"That's good. I'm happy to be watching from the side." Grandma Ning said matter-of-factly.

The Empress Dowager nodded, keeping her gaze at the door.

Aunt Ning looked funny.He quickly said: "Queen Mother, don't worry. I have already arranged for someone to guard the door. As soon as the empress and Princess arrive, they will come in and report immediately."

"Yesterday, the Ai family personally caught such a big fish. Not to mention the fish I caught, it is delicious no matter how you cook it." The Queen Mother said while gesturing the size of the fish to Aunt Ning.

"That fish was caught by you, the Queen Mother, but that fish is not blessed." Nanny Ning picked up the good words and told the Queen Mother.As the saying goes, old children, old children, don't have to be coaxed.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "By the way, the Ai family has prepared all the things the Ai family asked you to prepare. Today the Ai family is going to catch another bigger fish than yesterday."

"Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I have already ordered you to go down. The pavilion has been set up and is waiting for you, Concubine Shu and Princess to go." Grandma Ning hurriedly reported back.

"That's good, you go outside and take a look. See why those two girls haven't come yet." The Empress Dowager said anxiously.

"Hey, slave, go ahead now." Seeing the Empress Dowager's order, Grandma Ning did not dare to refute and hurriedly exited the palace.

Coincidentally, Grandma Ning hadn't taken two steps yet.

An announcement rang outside: Concubine Shu has arrived, and Galudai Gege has arrived.Immediately, Wanxian and Galudai were seen outside the palace gate hand in hand.

Aunt Ning hurriedly said hello to the two of them, and then led the two of them towards the palace.

Wanxian and Galudai quickly greeted the empress dowager who was sitting in the hall.

"This servant pays my respects to the Empress Dowager." Wan Xian saluted.

"Granddaughter, please say hello to Mother Uku." Galudai also said.

The Queen Mother quickly said: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."

After Wanxian got up, she reported back to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, let's go to Lianhua Rock today to pick lotus flowers." As she said this, Wanxian took a fine bamboo basket woven from bamboo strips from behind and said respectfully Pass it to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took the bamboo basket and asked: "At this time, there are not many lotus flowers in bloom."

"I'm reporting to Mother Wuku. I don't know what method the Ministry of Internal Affairs used. There are a lot of lotus flowers in the Lotus Rock. Some of them have already grown lotus seeds. Grandma Shuma and her granddaughter thought about sitting in the boat and picking lotus flowers. How nice it is to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time." During these days of getting along with each other, Galudai could be regarded as calling out the honorific title of Sumama Ma sincerely.Besides, after these days of wantonness, Galudai's face became more and more smiling.

The empress dowager felt happy when she saw her great-granddaughter smiling again.

"Yes, I heard what Long Live Lord said. There are many uses of lotus in ancient books, and there are also several side dishes written with lotus. I will step on the lotus later and let the people in the kitchen cook it." Wanxian was excited. said.After getting along for a long time, Wanxian was no longer as cautious as before when facing the Queen Mother, and became more and more bold.

It was Kangxi who looked at the smile that never left Wanxian's face these days and felt more and more that his decision to let Galudai go to Qingxi Bookstore was correct.

After listening to what Wan Xian said about adding lotus flowers to dishes, the Empress Dowager became interested and quickly said: "Then what are you waiting for? While the sun is not bright at this time, let's go quickly. It's time for lunch to have lotus flowers added to dishes. ." The Queen Mother said and stood up on her own.

Wanxian quickly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and reminded: "Empress Dowager, please change a pair of shoes. I am afraid that the bottom of this flowerpot is not suitable for boating." Today Wanxian and Galudai were wearing flat-soled horseshoe boots.

Aunt Ning hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is true. Empress Dowager, I will serve you to change a pair of shoes." At this time, Aunt Ning thanked Concubine Shu from the bottom of her heart. Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager fell, It's because of the poor service of the slaves.

"Yes, Mother Uku, you need to change to a new pair. Originally, my granddaughter was wearing flowerpot bottoms. But when she got to Sumama's place, she changed to a new pair." Galudai also added.

The Queen Mother nodded and said with satisfaction: "Concubine Shu, you are still very attentive."

The Empress Dowager was supported by Nanny Ning back to the inner room and changed into a pair of flat shoes.

When the Queen Mother came out, Wanxian and Galudai supported the Queen Mother and walked outside.

The Empress Dowager said as she walked: "Since we are going to Lotus Rock, let's take a boat and go to Peach Blossom Embankment for a walk. Although there are no peach blossoms now, looking at the greenery makes people feel good."

"Yes. Everything is subject to your wishes, Queen Mother." Wanxian said obediently.

Galudai said: "Mother Uku, I came out this morning and asked my granddaughter to greet you on her behalf. She said she has many things to do during this time, so she didn't come to greet you yet."

The Empress Dowager patted Galudai's hand and said understandingly: "Well, the Ai family knows about your Niang's difficulties. You can tell your Niang when you go back and say it's okay. I heard that Hongxi and his biological mother are both sick?"

"Yes, the imperial doctor said it's not a serious illness and you just need to rest." Galudai said truthfully after hesitating for a moment.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "Huh, if I had known today, why bother then? The whole family had heard about Li Jia's arrogant look, but now they know they are afraid."

Through this period of time spent with Galudai, coupled with Kangxi's teachings, Wanxian also understood the reason.When Wanxian first found out, she was very angry.After all, people are biased. Wanxian has a relationship with Galudai, so she is naturally on Galudai's side.Wanxian shook her head and interjected: "This is also a sin of your own doing. If you had just been calmer, it wouldn't be like this."

"If you want to tell the Ai family, it's all because of your Ama's connivance. If it weren't for your Ama who nurtured their minds, they wouldn't have dared to act so boldly." The Queen Mother said dissatisfied.

Because of Prince Yinreng's status as a direct descendant, the Empress Dowager has taken great care of him over the years.Even when the prince was deposed, the empress dowager helped plead with Kangxi.But this time, the Queen Mother really couldn't stand the way Prince Yinreng pampered his concubine and destroyed his wife.

As they talked, they just walked to the shore.The boat on the shore also stopped in a safe manner. Wanxian and Galudai quickly helped the Queen Mother get on the boat.
