Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 375: Phoenix Butterfly Gilded Silver Hairpin
After seeing off Concubine Yi, the Crown Princess and Galudai, Wanxian sat in the main hall and groped for the gifts given by the Crown Princess, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Wanxian was in a daze, and even when Kangxi walked up to her, she didn't react.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi waved his hand and signaled the servants to step back.

The servants carefully exited the Hehuan Hall.

Kangxi then touched Wanxian's head and asked dotingly: "Okay, what's wrong?"

Wanxian finally came to her senses, picked up the gift given by the Crown Princess and said: "Long live my lord, this is the gift that the Crown Princess just gave to the slave. The slave thinks it is too precious. I have been trying to shirk it from the Crown Princess for a long time. The concubine insists that the slave accept it."

Kangxi took the gift from Wanxian's hand, looked it over, and said casually: "Since the Crown Princess gave it to you, just accept it. Why refuse."

"This is too expensive. Such a good thing should be given to Galudai as a dowry." Wanxian said, touching the hairpin given by the princess.

It turned out that what the Crown Princess gave as a gift was a pair of gold-plated silver hairpins inlaid with rubies and sapphires handed down from the Ming Dynasty.It is said that the hairpin was a favorite of the former empress. By chance, it came into the hands of the Crown Princess’s mother’s family and was used as a dowry when the Crown Princess got married.

When the Crown Princess took out the hairpin, Concubine Yi's eyes widened.

After many years, this pair of gold-plated silver hairpins set with rubies and sapphires is still dazzling and lifelike.The golden phoenix in the sky on the hairpin is flying over with ruby ​​peaches in its mouth, while the sapphire butterfly on the ground is jumping lightly over the ruby ​​peach blossoms. The sky and the world are moving and still, like a dream.

"Besides, this is a treasure worn by the queen of the previous dynasty. How can it be worn by a slave?" Wanxian depreciated herself.

Kangxi listened to Wanxian's self-deprecation and said unhappily: "What are you talking about? My concubine Shu deserves the best things in the world, not to mention just the hairpin worn by the previous queen. You deserve the phoenix crown."

Wanxian was moved by Kangxi's words, hugged Kangxi's waist excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Long live the Lord."

Kangxi patted Wanxian's back gently and said comfortingly: "Remember, you are going to be by my side from now on. How can you be so unconfident? You have to be more generous, even if it's for me. Too self-effacing, understand?" Kangxi knew clearly that his weak spot was the little girl in his arms, and he also knew clearly that the weak spot of the little girl in his arms was himself, so he deliberately took him with him.

As expected, Wanxian said solemnly: "Long live Lord, I understand, I will never embarrass you."

"This is a good boy, you are so good. Get up, I will put the hairpin on your head and have a look." Kangxi said lovingly.

Wanxian quickly let go of her hand and took the initiative to hand the hairpin to Kangxi's hand.

Kangxi smiled and took the hairpin, took off the inappropriate jewelry on Wanxian's head, and personally put the pair of gold-plated silver hairpins inlaid with rubies and sapphires on Wanxian's head.Kangxi carefully looked at Wanxian, who had many hairpins in front of him, and boasted: "The pink face and peach blossoms are red, and the spring breeze is drunk with her charming smile."

Although Wanxian didn't understand the meaning, she also understood that it was a word to boast about herself.He looked at Kang Xi with a blushing face.

Kangxi smiled and pinched Wanxian's face.

Wanxian stood up from the chair, and Kangxi immediately sat on Wanxian's original seat and patted his thigh.

Wanxian understood the meaning and immediately sat on Kangxi's lap and leaned into Kangxi's arms.

Kangxi hugged Wanxian, looked at the gifts on the table next to him, and picked up the leafy Western bracelet given by Concubine Yi.

"Is this a gift from Concubine Yi?" Kangxi asked.

Wanxian nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Jiu got it from shopping outside. There are also two rings, a brooch and a necklace, all on the table."

After hearing this, Kangxi turned over the Western jewelry on the table. "Yinzhen is really good at handling these matters. He has just been to the House of Internal Affairs for a few days, and he has already grasped all the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs." Kangxi put the bracelet on Wanxian's right wrist and said as he put it on.

"Isn't that great? This way, Long Live Lord, you can worry less." Wanxian touched the bracelet and said casually.

Kangxi continued: "Let's see, if Yinzhen can really support the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then it is not impossible to leave the household department to Yinzhen. Since he can do business, then use the money to make more money for the Qing Dynasty. Money is also good. Everything in the court, including droughts, floods, and wars, requires money. Annual taxes alone are not enough."

"Everything is up to you, Long Live Lord." Wanxian said dependently.

Kangxi touched Wanxian's little face and said, "Looking at you wearing Western jewelry, I want to make you some Western clothes someday. This will match the Western jewelry."

"Okay, I remember that Master Long live you also have some Western clothes. When the time comes, I will wear them together with Master Long Live." Wan Xian said happily.

"Hey, okay. Wear it with me then." Kangxi lowered his head lovingly and kissed Wanxian's little face.

"Long live the ice cubes, it's good to just leave them there, so they won't get hot." Wanxian said, pointing to the ice mirror placed in the middle.

"I have asked Liang Jiugong to arrange for someone to build a shed on the horse farm in the West Garden. Then put ice cubes and fruit snacks in the shed. When you are tired, just rest in the shed." Kangxi hugged Wanxian and said: "It's hot now, so you have to take good care of yourself tomorrow so you don't get caught in the heat." "I know, I will be careful," Wanxian said obediently.

Kangxi still said uneasy: "Let's call an imperial doctor to wait by the side tomorrow, and let someone prepare some tablets to relieve the heat."

"Okay, everything will be done according to your wish, Long Live Lord. Long live Lord, are you hungry? It's getting late. Do we have to pass on dinner? All the slaves are hungry." Wan Xian said coquettishly.

When Kangxi saw that Wanxian said she was hungry, he quickly ordered outside: "Liang Jiugong, pass the meal."

Liang Jiugong outside quickly agreed: "Come on, I will pass on the order right now."

After hearing this, Wanxian quickly stood up in Kangxi's arms.

Kangxi said dissatisfiedly: "The dinner hasn't come yet, why are you anxious?"

"No, I just want to go for a walk in the yard to relieve my fatigue. Long live my Lord, can you push the swing for me?" After hearing this, Wanxian quickly took Kangxi's hand and said coquettishly.

Kangxi then gave up, stood up, took Wanxian's hand and walked out of Hehuan Hall.As he walked, he said: "Next time, you can only get up if I agree."

"Yes, I will remember it," Wanxian agreed, holding Kangxi's hand.

In the yard outside, Kangxi helped Wanxian sit on the swing.

Kangxi smiled and walked to the back of the swing and asked, "But sit still, I'm going to push."

"Sit tight, my slave. Long live your Majesty, please push me." Wanxian grabbed the armrest of the swing chair and said happily.

After Wanxian said this, Kangxi gently pushed the swing.

The swing quickly swung forward, and when it came back, Kangxi grabbed it and pushed it forward gently.

Wanxian said happily: "Long live Lord, please push it higher, even higher."

Kangxi wanted to satisfy Wanxian's wishes, but he was worried that Wanxian would be injured if he swung too high, so he pushed the swing slowly.

Slowly, Wanxian had enough fun and said to Kangxi: "Long live Lord, would you like to sit on the swing with me?"

Kangxi originally didn't want his slaves to see the joke, but when he thought about it later, he realized that the people serving him in Qingxi Bookstore were all his confidants, so he was naturally not afraid of the news spreading outside.Kangxi then pulled the swing and carefully stopped it.

Wanxian quickly moved to the side, and Kangxi sat beside Wanxian and hugged Wanxian.

Upon seeing this, Liang Jiugong quickly stepped forward and carefully pushed the swing.

The swing swayed forward, and Wanxian asked curiously: "Long live Lord, is this swing fun? I think it's very fun."

"It's fun. As long as I'm with you, it's fun." Kangxi said loving words to Wanxian.

Wanxian blushed and pressed her face against Kangxi's chest.

Kangxi also hugged Wanxian tightly.

Liang Jiugong in the back really ate a big bowl of dog food.Liang Jiugong pushed the swing with an expression on his face, feeling extremely tormented and uncomfortable in his heart.

Fortunately, Wei Zhu stepped forward and reported: "Long live the Lord and the Queen, dinner has been prepared. Please come and have dinner."

Kangxi ordered: "Okay, I understand."

Liang Jiugong then carefully pulled the swing.

After the swing stabilized, Kangxi got off the swing first and extended his hand to Wanxian.

Wanxian got off the swing, took Kangxi's hand, and they walked into the Hehuan Hall.
